This is a cream cake mix--"pudding in the mix"--with real ground vanilla beans in the mix. It's different than store mixes, and not just the ground vanilla beans. It's got substance to it.

If you add cinnamon chips to a store cake mix, they sink to the bottom.  Same with chocolate chips. If you add chips to this mix, they stay suspended and disbursed. That's because there's more cake to this mix and more favor. It's more luxuriant.

It's a cream cake mix--pudding in the mix.

It was designed as a professional cupcake and small dessert mix, with enough chocolate to compete with a filling and a frosting.  It's luxuriant. 

Some people use it for cakes but if you're not a chocoholic, it may be too much.  But if you love chocolate, rich dark chocolate, put this on your list.

Questions

  • What's a cream cake? No, we used better cocoa. And then we added little pure chocolate pieces. The chocolate melts in the baking, leaving pockets of pure melted chocolate.
  • What's the baby cake thing? These are not light and fluffy cupcakes like from a grocery store. It's a cream cake mix.
  • How does it differ from store mixes? Think pudding-in-the -mix.  It's not as dense as a pound cake but it's somewhere between a pound cake and a grocery store mix.
  • The "suspension" thing--is that a big dealWe think so. The batter is thicker so holds things--chips, candies, nuts, or fruit. You can do more with it.  And there's more in youior mouth, more "mouth feel", and more flavor.
  • What if someone in the family thinks it's too much chocolate? Whip out some vanilla ice cream and tone it down.
  • Why don't the grocery stores follow, use more and better cocoa?  It's too expensive. Grocery stores compete on cost.
  • How can you compete? We don't have the overhead that a grocery store has. Grocery stores have to locate where the people are. We're located in a bunch of fields. It costs less to do business in the country.
  • How many cupcakes will it make? 20 to 24 cupcakes.
