Product: Namaste Foods Vanilla Cake Mix

One thing I've had a hard time finding over the past 6 or so years is a cake mix where I can acutally have all of the ingredients. Most mixes (even at health food stores) either have whole wheat flour, white sugar, corn starch or corn syrup, etc. I have loved Namaste Foods for alomst 6 years now and have been making their brownies and pizza crust mix over the years. Over the 4th of July, I decided to make a red, white and blue inspired dessert and decided to give their vanilla cake mix a try... boy, was it delicious!

When considering a menu to celebrate our Bagheera's 17th birthday, I wanted everything to be perfect... and, of course, vegan/vegetarian for my dad. It wasn't a tough decision to go with Namaste Foods Vanilla Cake Mix for this special occasion. I topped it with a rich and creamy, vegan chocolate buttercream frosting was definitely the "icing on the cake" if you know what I mean.

Not only is Namaste Foods such an amazing company with tasty foods, but the people who run the company are just wonderful & so sweet. I highly recommend any of their products to anyone, not just those who need allergy-friendly foods.
