TRADER JOE'S CAKE MIXES




Aren't these the most adorable cake mix boxes ever? AND the cakes are delicious! DARE I SAY ALMOST AS GOOD AS HOMEMADE? I am NOT kidding. Friends actually think I made them from scratch!! I will definitely be making chocolate biscotti! SO...this is my new go-to! I am NOT even going to be hiding the boxes! I am considering displaying them in my hutch for all to see!


*Would YOU buy a cake mix from Trader Joe's even if you consider yourself a "FROM-SCRATCH-BAKER" only?

*Are you going to run out and stock up on them?

*If you don't have a Trader Joes would you call up their headquarters and cry, beg, plead for them to send you a cake mix? I would!!!

  2. I absolutely would! I love the look of those cake mixes. I'll have to check it out at Trader Joe's; love that place.

  3. I hadn't noticed the cake mixes 'till you pointed them out. Now I need an excuse to try them! Their pudding boxes are also expertly designed. I love TJ's!

  4. Jess...your TJ's must be better stocked than ours, I have only found them a few times and they were out, so I assumed they discontinued them along with their yummiest of yummy Spega yogurts in the adorable glass containers. When you try the cake mix, let me know what you think. I am curious since you love baking-from-scratch. I still have your container.

  6. Candace-I added 1 tsp. of pure vanilla exctract to the batter and a few chocolate chips to the chocolate cake and coffee in place of the water. I'm allergic to chocolate, so I have some really picky taste testers who LOVED it.
