Marissa Staben says
Listen I personally think it is stupid to have your entire life story on the recipe. I came to your website to find a recipe for chocolate cake mix and had to scroll forever to find it. I don't care about your blog I just want chocolate cake so just put the recipe at the top and give your dumb commentary at the end. And yes I know you have a jump to recipe button but the fact that you need that is just disappointing.
Lainey says
Hi Marissa, I guess you have clicked the "About Me" button. Beside it, there is a search box where you can directly type the recipe you want to check next time. Thank you for visiting my blog!
Charito Sabellano says

Hi Charito,

Crystal says
Recipe sounds good. How long would a full size cake cook for?
Lainey says
Hi Crystal, it would take an hour or less to bake the cake and another hour for the cooling time. I'm sorry for the late response.
Sagar says
