To the people complaining about the fact that they're using boxed cake mix, you do realize that these videos are just one or two minute snippets of inspiration, right? It's not hard to use your favorite from-scratch recipe in most of the ones that call for prepared products. They're just sharing ideas to help people be more creative with their cooking. I personally haven't used cake mix in years, but I'm still going to use the ideas presented here.

Does anyone else just imagine them selfs making this for their family but never do it? No just me? Ok

There is one thing Cupcake Wars taught me: never put fresh strawberries in the batter, they are too moist and will make your cake soggy.
