Delicious Dense Cake - an excellent choice when looking for a more nutritious less allergic cake mix, February 3, 2010
This review is from: The Cravings Place Create-Your-Own Cake & Cookie Mix, 19-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
This is my favorite cake and muffin mix. It makes a very nice dense cake that no one would guess is gluten-free! I feel most oils are a more nutritious alternative to dairy-free margine, so I always use a different oil (walnut, almond, grapeseed, etc) and they all turn out delicious. I also substitute different sweeteners for the sugar such as maple syrup, honey, yacon syrup, date sugar, and coconut sugar and have been consistently very pleased. The bag also offers variations to make: pineapple upside-down cake, coconut cake, orange cake, lemon cake, ginger spice cake (one of my favorites!), marble cake, pumpkin cake, carrot cake, zucchini cake, banana cake, applesauce cake, snicker doodles, mexican wedding cookies, thumbprint cookies and pie crust. Enjoy!

Fantastic cupcakes and cookies for those with food allergies/intolerances!!, December 14, 2008
This review is from: The Cravings Place Create-Your-Own Cake & Cookie Mix, 19-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
We are a household with multiple food allergies, and recently used this mix to make cupcakes for my preschooler's birthday party. We can't use dairy, egg or wheat (among other things), and this mix met our needs and exceeded our expectations! I've tried various cake mixes over the last year or two, and this was by far the best. All of our party guests enjoyed the cupcakes---I even heard a "Yummy!" from a 2 year old little boy (who is used to the taste of wheat flour cupcakes)! I did make one change to the mix (it calls for the addition of margarine and water) by using sparkling water---I found that it made the cupcakes a little less dense. We used this mix to make sugar cookies and jam thumbprints too, and they turned out great. We also use The Cravings Place All Purpose Pancake & Waffle Mix, 23-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6), and love it! (By the way, for the cupcake frosting we used Cherrybrook Kitchen Gluten Free Vanilla Frosting Mix, 9.4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) and recommend it as well).

Good Cookies, Dense Cake, October 13, 2008
This review is from: The Cravings Place Create-Your-Own Cake & Cookie Mix, 19-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
We just LOVE the pancake mix and the muffin mix from this company. The cake mix fell short. We made cupcakes and they were very dense and heavy. They make great cookies though.
