Slightly Sneaky Bakers

All the recipes above are fabulous for people who have the time and skill to bake but not everyone falls into this category. Some of us are up front about this and others …. Are you the type who makes desserts from a mix and then hides the box in the trash and tells everyone you made it from scratch?  No judgement here!  As long as there are tasty treats I won’t complain as to how they were made.  To help you with your sneak-ery, we have some scrumptious new cake and scone mixes to thrill all your family  and friends.

Tea & Coffee Cake Mixes:

Add milk, oil and eggs to these mixes and in approximately 45 minutes you’ll be enjoying fresh baked and scrumptious cakes with your coffee or tea.
