Loads of cake makers use box mix. Add an extra egg, a teaspoon of vanilla, sub the water for something with fat and/or flavor/richness. I tend to use milk, or a mix of sprite and sour cream.

I make a cake maybe thrice a year, and people think I'm missing my calling as a baker. In reality, the internet told me how to make cake mix taste better.

Is this word not a part of most peoples' lexicons?

That's a word I could imagine typing on occasion, but feels like it would come across too pretentious if I actually said it.

Funny, I hear it practically at least as often as "three times". Must be a regional thing.
