Brownies from a box (Ghiradelli fan also).
Cake: neither!! I used to do box mixes; however, I don't know what they have done to the flavorings because they now taste really fake to me. And they get an odd texture after a day. I will use a box if I am making a cake that has "mix ins" or additions to the batter. That seems to cut the fakeness out of it.
I don't do scratch cakes either because I haven't had much success, nor do I have a lot of time. So, if I really want a cake, I will generally go to a bakery or I will go to a cupcake shop.
I don't make cookies but as a cookie eater, I will say that scratch cookies are far superior. However, Trader Joe's carries a ginger spice cookie dough during the holidays that's fabulous.
