baking mix = bisquick - flour with raising agents and buttermilk powder already in, rather than full-on cake mix, so you're still mixing and choosing flavours and baking, just with a time saving on some of the dry ingredients. I got it to make US-style biscuits and gravy and found it did US pancakes so well and fritters are pretty much just pancakes with things in...
I think even with a mix you are still getting more of the experience of making a cake and maybe enough of the experience to realise that you could crack the eggs and measure the flour yourself next time...
I keep meaning to try the 'mix in a milk carton' thing because it looks easier/less messy for pouring out pancakes and drop scones than dipping out of a bowl
