Let Them Eat Cake


Little kids just gravitate to cookies – maybe it's the same mystical flavor force that lures them to the neon orange mac & cheese or the oiliest potato chips they can get their mitts on. Whatever the cause of the attraction, it's practically innate. So just imagine how it feels when you're the only little one who can't indulge your chocolate chip craving because of some too-confusing-to-comprehend chemical reaction your body has to certain foods.

Unfortunately food allergies seem to be the norm these days. Now, thanks to Cherrybrook Kitchen, nobody has to miss out. For kids forced to forgo certain treats, and parents and teachers who are afraid to trigger a trip to the ER with a platter of birthday cupcakes, these dairy-, egg-, and nut-free mixes are a gift. Cherrybrook offers six different taste-tested recipes that promise only to set off the salivary glands: chocolate or yellow cake, chocolate or vanilla frosting, chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies.

Each is easy to prepare and made with all-natural ingredients that are kosher certified, vegetarian, lactose free, and cholesterol free. For what it's worth, they've left out any chemicals and preservatives, too. (Watch your back, Duncan Hines.)

We've got enough to worry about. Why not take bake sales and birthday parties off the list of safety hazards – particularly if you don't have to sacrifice that magical, fresh-baked flavor.

Available at Whole Food Markets and online at cherrybrookkitchen.com.
