[QUOTE=Paramud;45470961]This has genuinely pissed me off. What the fuck do you even mean by this? Do you make pizzas from scratch because you want to eat them at room temperature? Do you just eat the dough and cheese raw while drinking the tomato sauce from a fucking glass?[/QUOTE] oh fuck off here's my explanation Making cakes using cake mix: o Acquire cake mix o Empty cake mix in to a pan o Put in oven Buying fairy cakes: o Acquire cakes Making your own: o Acquire seperate ingredients o Measure out ingredients o Mix together in bowl o Put in oven tray o Put in oven o Get a sense of accomplishment is it really that fucking hard for you to see why i think that the difference between the first two methods of eating cakes is negligible, and therefore pointless? then somebody pointed out the fact that if you use cake mix you get to make fresh cakes rather than buying ones that go stale - [b]an explanation that i accepted[/b] buying frozen pizza and making your own pizza is one of two choices - there isn't a 'pizza mix' you can buy, put in a bowl, and put instantly in to the oven therefore the pizza comparison is stupid and then you continue this shitty pointless argument about fucking frozen pizza and cakes because why the fuck not right last edit because i'm not going to further contribute to the derailment of the thread: people buy cake mix to feel the accomplishment of being able to 'make' their own cakes people buy frozen pizza to cook at home and eat - there is no sense of accomplishment through 'making it yourself' the person below me then proceeded to post a 'pizza mix' which was extremely similar to the process of the cake mix that however was not the original comparison he made, so is therefore redundant in his attempt to try and argue with me further
i'm ready for the future i wonder what will win, futuristic fat burning pills made from red wine and nanomachines or cake in a can probably cake in a can
[QUOTE=Noss;45470989] there isn't a 'pizza mix' you can buy, put in a bowl, and put instantly in to the oven therefore the pizza comparison is stupid[/QUOTE] Just playing devil's advocate at this point [IMG]http://www.skippack.org/joe corbi pizza kit.jpg[/IMG] But really. Comparisons exist to point out the similarities in two things and they don't need to be entirely identical to be compared. [QUOTE=Noss;45470989] and then you continue this shitty pointless argument about fucking frozen pizza and cakes because why the fuck not right [/QUOTE] Pointing out a logical fallacy isn't an argument? [editline]22nd July 2014[/editline] I will agree that the thread has been thoroughly derailed.
Gonna eat it straight from the can
[QUOTE=Noss;45470989]is it really that fucking hard for you to see why i think that the difference between the first two methods of eating cakes is negligible, and therefore pointless?[/QUOTE] I wasn't even talking about cakes, I was talking about buying frozen pizza to eat it hot, what the fuck does this even mean [editline]oh ahgrmbrugs[/editline] I feel like I'm going to end up banned if I continue yelling about this though so I'm going to stop
[QUOTE=chimitos;45468362]If you want to make pizza, why wouldn't you just make some dough, put some sauce on it, add some cheese, then put it in the oven? [IMG]https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2072/2319663688_c4505a5793_z.jpg[/IMG] oh. There's no reason to discourage new ideas just because we have old ideas. Especially if the new ideas don't work very well. How else would anything progress? Look at airplanes. It only took 66 years to go from "jumping 120 feet" to "landing someone on the moon and shooting them back into the ocean".[/QUOTE] Fuck that. I'm American I want to hydrate a pizza in under 5 seconds with science because I can. Soon...
Cake batter in a can? [B]Phhwoar![/B]
What are you guys arguing about? The convenience of lazy cooking?
Not lying, my grandma gave me a bag of Instant Cake Mix that sounds a lot like this, and she made it from a recipe she found online. Put stuff in cup, add water, put in microwave, ez pz cakey steezy. It was pretty good too.
[QUOTE=wh1t3rabbit;45470928]I think the point of it not using baking soda / powder is because it wouldn't store as well, not because people have difficulty using it. The appeal of this (IMO) is you can make a decent cake in minutes, compared to the better part of an hour.[/QUOTE] The only thing that wouldn't store well is premixed(with wet ingredients) cake dough. Baking soda and baking powder, in fact all the dry ingredients, store just fine. So all you are saving is the time to mix wet ingredients(eggs and such) with the dry ingredients(flour/baking powder/etc). It only takes a couple of minutes, so you're saving a couple of minutes. The real time is the oven time, you don't have to do anything except wait. The trade off is yes, the microwave cooks much faster but it does not come out the same. There are 5 minute microwave coffee mug cakes you can make with normal ingredients. Those 'cakes' may be edible but they aren't anywhere near as good as a real cake.
sorry to tell you, but quick microwavable 'cakes' have been around for years. [IMG]http://www.bettycrocker.com/~/media/Images/SectionImages/Product/Warm-Delights/BC_Prod_WarmDelights_lp_graphic_0911.ashx?20110912T1754339457[/IMG]

If I decide to eat unnecessary calories, I at least want these calories to taste the best way they can.
You can do the exact same thing with most cake mixes. Essentially, you take a box of angel food cake, a box of normal cake mix, mix them together, portion it out into a bowl, add water, stir, and microwave. You've got a fluffy, single-serving cake in under a minute. Same as this, but without the cheez-whiz novelty.
Basically the point is that you can run around your home/school/place of work with a can of Cake-Whiz and a blowtorch, covering the walls in cheap confectionery.

oh god, this is going to taste like shit if it gets mass produced.
Half of the flavour of a cake comes from the browning that it experiences in the oven due to the high, dry heat. You can't find this in a microwave.
[QUOTE=counterpo0;45470007]Convenience my friend, convenience . Why do all that work, totaling like 30-40 minutes for cake, when it can be done in 2 minutes? You don't understand the mass market appeal this has. This is gonna make a lot of money.[/QUOTE] But buying cake dough isn't more convenient than just buying an actual cooked cake? I don't understand.

[editline]oh hamburgers[/editline] I don't even know why I'm getting so fucking mad at this.[/QUOTE] how frustrated can one person be at a facepunch post?
i know this is pretty cool from the perspective of industry, but spray cake mix, like every other 'instant' food, will probably taste like shit. microwave meals/foods in general are amongst the worst tasting possible kinds of thing
