Question for the floor?

[andrewducker]

So, why do we bother putting cakes in ovens rather than just eating cake mix?

Nowadays people do seem scared (for not much good reason - see above) - but cake predates that by a fair way.

Not that I object to cake, but you'd think that people would eat cake mix as it's own thing sometimes. Due to it tasting of pure awesome.

I do!

I may have baked cookies last week on account of wanting some cookie dough and then realising that I'd be ill if I actually ate all of it raw.... Actually, that may be your explanation: really, the scrapings are about as much as you'd want to eat raw in one sitting, and if you didn't bake it then you would be compelled by the loveliness to keep eating, and then you'd throw up....

True. I can't eat more than a tiny bit, due to sugar and whatnot, but even when I could eat more eating more than a slice or two's worth is inadvisable, no matter what form it's in.

Also, "some crap" = yeah, I know it's bollocks!
