Cherrybrook Kitchen calls itself “The Sweet Solution for Food Allergies.” They specialize in allergy-friendly baking mixes and frostings so people with food sensitivities can still enjoy cakes, cookies, brownies and other treats. Their products are formulated to exclude common allergens while preserving familiar flavors and textures.
I received a sample from Cherrybrook Kitchen through BlakeMakes: a box of Chocolate Cake Mix and a jar of Chocolate Frosting, along with a small rubber spatula. The timing was perfect since I planned to bake an Ugly Christmas Sweater cake the following week and hoped to use both items.
My first attempt with the mix didn’t go as planned. I removed the cake from the pan too soon and a large portion stuck, ruining the intended presentation. Rather than toss the batch, my husband and I tasted the salvaged pieces and were pleasantly surprised. The cake itself was rich and chocolatey with a texture and flavor that didn’t feel like a “special-diet” product. It delivered satisfying cocoa notes and sweetness without any noticeable off-flavors.
I still needed an intact cake, so I bought a conventional boxed chocolate cake mix at the store and used Cherrybrook Kitchen’s Chocolate Frosting to finish it. The frosting was very flavorful and had a thicker consistency than I expected. It was a little firm straight from the jar, but after briefly warming it in the microwave it loosened and spread smoothly. The final result looked and tasted great.
Overall, I’m impressed with Cherrybrook Kitchen. Their products allow people with allergies to enjoy classics without sacrificing taste. I’ve seen their line at my local Meijer and you may find it at other grocery stores as well. If it’s not available nearby, their website offers ordering options. Even if you don’t have food allergies, these mixes and frostings are worth trying as a natural, allergen-conscious way to enjoy baked treats.
