Box Cake- no egg, dairy, peanut

If your food allergies limit you as much as my children's do then you know that it can be difficult to plan a party around them. For a couple of years we celebrated birthdays without a birthday cake and my children did not like it. That was until I came across a wonderful company that makes box cake and cookie mixes. Actually they also make brownie, pancake and icing mixes too. Not only are they safe but they taste awesome! The name? CHERRYBROOK KITCHEN!

You can find Cherrybrook Kitchen products at many organic/health food stores such as Whole Foods and Kroger has access to their warehouse now. You may need to ask them to order it for you. Even better is being able to order it online and having it shipped to your door; www.cherrybrookkitchen.com.

To the Chocolate cake mix you only need to add water and vegetable oil. The yellow cake mix and chocolate chip cookie mix call for margarine and water. You can substitute the margarine for a non-dairy butter such as Fleishman's Unsalted stick butter. The sugar cookie mix calls for margarine and milk. Again substitute with non-dairy butter and use either soy or rice milk. The fudge brownies call for water, oil and margarine (use non-dairy). For more information visit their website.
