Review Of Crave Bakery

I think that's the name. I got one at Whole Foods yesterday, it was $7.50 (around that amount) and it's personal sized, the diameter of a celiac disease, approximately. It is dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate frosting. I totally splurged in buying it but couldn't pass it up. The way I am I am making four servings from it.

It tastes and has the texture of a regular cake - maybe a little denser, but still great. It is made of rice, tapioca, arrowroot, and some other flours, and also has some applesauce in the recipe (though I couldn't taste it anywhere in the cake).

Being hypoglycemic and not doing well on a lot of sugar, it's a good thing I live far from Crave bakery - it's in SF but they supply some Whole Food's (the one I went to was in Sacramento).

I also picked up the Whole Foods Bakehouse pizza crusts from the freezer - haven't tried yet but they look good and no potato starch, like most of their other products so far. Also not a bad deal, $8.89 for two that look to be a foot in diameter. Pricier than Boboli but cheaper than a delivery pizza. the rest of their treats were too pricey for me, $12 for a half tray of brownies? $9 for 8 ginger spice cookies? $8-9 for a loaf of bread? No thanks. I'll stick to Manna from Anna bread and Pamela's cookies.

Hey Stephanie!

I was really impressed with the Crave cake. It's pretty cute too....I got it for my desert on Thanksgiving. It just looked "perfect" in the box...and it was. :) I wouldnt have known it was dairy and gluten free...it didnt taste any different to me.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
