If you’re going to spend $25 on cake mix, you should just buy a cake
, but the whole thing brings up a separate point that is important to consider. If you are spending $25 for cake mix, why not just buy a damn cake?
When I was growing up, the general rule was that the more you paid for something, the better quality it was. That line of reasoning has completely gone out the window. Rondel, in the, does argue that her mixes require “stupidly expensive ingredients,” that she’s a small business owner, and that it comes in “gift worthy packaging.” Teigen’s mixes are cheaper than Rondel’s, around $8 to $10 a box.
Of course, it’s more complicated than that. Mixes were also sold to housewives in the 1940s and ’50s to specifically assure them that they were not “cheating,” they were still dutifully cooking for their families. The pressure to perform this sort of housework is still strong, and while many people do legitimately derive pleasure from baking, those people are more likely to actually be baking and not using a mix.
