NTA!!! I'm the best baker in my family (can't cook to save my life, but my macarons are the shit), and I've had a copy of 'The Cake Mix Doctor' on my shelf for literal decades. Sometimes you don't have time for a 3-tiered wedding cake, or you don't have space, or it's a Tuesday, I dunno. But altering a box cake is just taking out the "boring" bits, like the salt, baking soda, etc, and leaving the fun stuff, like what you did. It's still baking, and it's still good, and Kudos on you for winning a prize for it!

I use stuff from The Cake Mix Doctor and it seems to work pretty well. Was a birthday gift from a friend one year and have used it several times :)

LOL! I've gone just the opposite direction on frosting. I've starting making it from scratch more often than not (Twin A doesn't mind sifting powdered sugar if it nets him frosting in the end.)

Have you ever tried the recipes in The Cake Mix Doctor? Someone got it for me as a gift and it sat around my house for a couple years before I decided to try it. I have so much fun with it. Snickerdoodle cake with cinnamon buttercream is huge hit here.
