ISO: Buttercream please?Scratch vs Box also.

Misc.
Hi there! I have been reading about the discussion of box mixes v.s. scratch cakes. I have been making and selling birthday and wedding cakes for many years. I grew up in a bakery and my Grandfather owned a bakery and also my Grandfather, my Mom, my brothers and I worked in a bakery. I have since the time I was 14! My cakes that I sell now are box mixes usually Super Moist or that variety. The customers always complement me on the moistness of my cakes!! I always add to the white cake mixes and the yellow ones a tsp. .or capful of Almond flavoring. This gives it the special taste. Someone asked why would a customer buy one made from a box mix v.s. a scratch one? They usually don't want to take the time and effort to make a cake ..and the details and decorations that you provide are usually more than their capability, or what they want to do.
I would appreciate cake mix recipies ..from scratch that I could taste test in our kitchen to see the difference between box or scratch. I am planning to make the "Lusicious White Cake " posted by carole - jakarta today! (Thanks! :0) )Please let me know a recipie for french buttercream without the coffee if anyone has one that they will share? Thanks so much to one and all! Six
