And do the flavours she offers (with the fabulous or amazing or whatever palette) exist in the brand of mixes she listed?
Why am I supposed to care about some woman making cupcakes from a box?
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Always Anti-fascist!
maybe it's a time-saving cheat, but then it would be funny if she could be all "Cake mix...I feel dirty. And not in a fun way."

Hey. New board.
Maybe she expands upon the boxed ingredients. In which case she's just buying more-expensive-than-necessary sugar, flour, etc. (Signed, recently used a gluten-free brownie mix as a starting point for otherwise much-more-delicious brownies than the mix would have created alone, just because it was the easiest way to not buy 2 pounds of rice flour that I didn't need for anything else.)

Because books.
I tried 2 Broke Girls last week (the one with the tampon machine) and I couldn't make it past the bathroom with the owner cringing. Is it usually pretty funny?

Then they should say. But they didn't. So I'm just going on information as disclosed--she's making box mix cupcakes.
Is it usually pretty funny?
No. I like how blunt it is about some stuff, but it cheerfully falls prey to all sorts of ethnic stereotyping and has long stretches where I can't even work out where the laughs are supposed to be.
However, I find her painfully attractive.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Is it usually pretty funny?
It has some really good moments, but it is inconsistent. Also, like ita ! said, they really need to get rid of all of the ethnic stereotyping.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Maybe she expands upon the boxed ingredients
They said right out that her secret ingredient is a different kind of mix. Just a really poorly done idea, and one that unfortunately undercuts a main storyline in pursuit of a throwaway joke.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I thought she said she only used the mixes when she was pressed for time. i could be misremembering though.
I like it, Amy. i think Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs have great chemistry and the guy who plays Oleg has some funny one-liners.
