Does anyone here use cake enhancer? If so, is it really worth the cost?

Never used it, but the info sheet is interesting...
Printed on 100% recycled (minimum 35% post-consumer) content.
Huh??? Printed on...content? What the what?
Do not eat raw flour (ew?), dough or batter.
Wait -- what was that sound? Way to go KA, all the little children of the world just fell in unison to the floor weeping. Mom's everywhere are now giving you THAT look.

So funny you should mention this. Yesterday a coworker asked me if I had ever used it
as she was considering purchasing some from Kind Arthur. I read their reasons for using it and the contents. Maybe I am weird but one of the reasons I bake (and cook in general) is because I don't want a lot of chemicals in my food. I don't feel the need to add preservatives to my baked goods. Perhaps if I were a professional I would feel differently but I just bake and cook for family and friends. Or, maybe I just don't understand the reason to use it?
I am very curious to see what you all think about it???

Staying around longer--what those additives have in common. . .
is making stuff last longer so it is good out on the shelf to SELL.
Fresh cake flour, good butter, careful mixing and attention while baking are what make a home-baked cake better than store-bought. And MY homemade cakes last just fine with plastic wrap to cover or in a covered cake carrier.
I mean, how long should a cake last? If it is around too long, it is either not the best you have done OR too much. If it is not your best, dispose of (or work into another recipe somehow) and try again. If it is too much, freeze half of the thing and enjoy later!
