5knights3maidens Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I tried the yellow cake mix today. I used Earth Balance instead of butter and every other ingredient called for. They turned out perfect. But, they seem to be missing a little flavor. My dd will love the though. Next time I will try the choc. chip cookies. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We enjoy the yellow, but add a little almond extract for a better flavor. I also like to add two eggs and a little oil to the yellow mix and make sugar cookies. Icing, sprinkles, decorations, and even my gluten-eating kids don't know the difference. I don't really care for the choc chip cookies, however. I prefer the 365 brand from Whole Foods for chocolate chip cookies, or I make from scratch when I have a little extra energy...so 99% of the time I buy the mix!! I get the mixes by the case at WF to get a small discount. Let me know if you try the cookie mix and what you think of it. I haven't tried the brownie mix so I'm curious what others think of it.

MyLittleWonders Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Are there any artificial ingredients in the mixes (coloring, flavoring)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We've tried all the new mixes. The cookies come out a little flat and crumbly, but good tasting. The brownies, however, are great! Even my dh who normally won't eat GF baked items, likes them. The taste and texture is just like regular brownies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We still like Pamela's and the Gluten Free Pantry the best, for flavor and price value. We also like Whole Food's 365 and Bob's Red Mill for pizza and bread mixes. But, I'm still glad to see BC come out with these... hopefully more will follow.

Mom0012 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I haven't tried the cake yet, but the brownies are wonderful. I just bought a case of them on Amazon. The cookies came out a little crumbly, so I will probably not buy them again. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We've had the chocolate cake. It's ok as far as cake goes. It's not of Pamela's awesome quality, but it's not as lousy as Arrowhead Mills either. ~shrug~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read, but don't know for sure, that the BC mixes are actually made by Gluten Free Pantry under the BC label. I haven't ever compared the two, but I think I will one day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your recipe for the sugar cookies sound good. I'll try that. I haven't seen the 365 brand choc. chips cookies mix at WF. I'll look next shopping trip. Seems the choc. chip cookies aren't getting a good review here. Maybe I'll try the brownies instead. I do have a brownie recipe that I love.

MyLittleWonders Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Are there any artificial ingredients in the mixes (coloring, flavoring)? Sorry to quote myself :o but does anyone know? We are GF but also cannot do any food coloring or artificial flavorings (and unfortunately have bought GF stuff before that had added coloring and flavorings :( ). The brownie mix sounds tempting. But, before I go hunting it down around town, I am curious if we can even have it. (I couldn't find anything about ingredients on the BC website.)

sleepymommy Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) I haven't tried BC brand yet, but we love Namaste brand around here. So far, I've tried their choc cake mix, spice cake mix, brownie mix, and pizza crust mix and they have all turned out great (obviously not the same as non-GF, but great for GF). I do look forward to trying out the BC brownie mix now though! ETA Never mind, just looked at the ingredients for it and it has soy. :( Edited October 18, 2009 by sleepymommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
