i have two non-bento posts lined up for this week… i hope my regular bento readers don’t mind!
this first post is a review of two new products that i received courtesy samples: wholesome chow vanilla cake mix and tropical traditions coconut oil. i am happy to say i loved both, and can tell you this only after putting them to good use in a true test… the cupcakes for my own birthday party! i made a vanilla cupcake with chunks of crystallized ginger, filled with homemade blackberry jam, and topped with vegan cream cheese frosting. these were a delicious combination of flavors, and while not low-calorie, certainly more healthful than typical store-bought cupcakes which contain processed flours and “bad” fats.
recipe and reviews below!
