Sometimes cooking is cheating.If you make cinnamon buns, that's real. If you buy cinnamon buns and cook them at home, that's cheating.Cheating isn't always bad. I cheat all the time. Like the other day I made a cake out of cake mix, but made homemade frosting.Katherine was perfectly fine with that. When you cheat maybe try to put your own touch on it. You could make a garnish or make a good topping.Remember don't be guilty about cheating, just try to make it your own
