All Answers: Answer #1Most of them involve a little more work than the typical mixes you find in the grocery store whereyou throw in some eggs and oil and then dump thewhole thing in a pan. My mom has made most ofthese mixes at one point or another, and the onlyone that really impressed me was the MoltenChocolate cake (like a flourless cake). The otherones weren't anything that special; if I hadn'tknown they were WS, I would have just assumed itwas Betty Crocker.

Answer #2
I don't think they are. The girl above me isright- they are more involved than just putting ineggs and oil and slopping the whole mess into apan like regular cheapo mixes. If you're going toput the extra effort (and money!) into them, youmight as well just make the whole thing fromscratch. It won't cost you that much more in thelong run, and besides: love is the bestingredient. :) But, a lady may have other thingsto do with her time: just buy the Betty Crockerand don't tell anyone.

Answer #3
Boxed cake mixes are usually the same in taste,looks, and baking. You can buy Betty Crocker andit will taste the same as the WS brand. WS mixescan be harder to make and are more expensive soI'd say stick with Betty Crocker or anothergeneric brand.
