This cake mix is OK.  Note the serving size.

I purchased this gluten free cake mix with the hope that it would be just as good as the cakes I have been missing since going gluten free about 18 months ago.  Well, yes and no was the response I got from my family and my own impression after I baked it this weekend.  The cake does have a lemon flavor, but it seemed a bit dry for all of our tastes.  Maybe this was because I made cupcakes rather than a cake.  The mix only makes one 8" cake, not two cakes like most traditional mixes.  I was able to salvage the dryness by making a lemon buttercream frosting as suggested on the packaging.  I wish the package came with a recipe.  I had to look it up on my own.  In the future I will probably make a cake from scratch and continue to add the lemon buttercream frosting for some extra lemony-great taste.

This is a nice, easy boxed cake mix to whip up cakes for special occasions. Tastes just like store bought, but nice that it's organic. We've purchased this many times through the Subscribe and Save program and will continue to do so.

Works fine as a substitute for normal condensed milk if you use it is smaller quantities. I make a particular cake every now and then which calls for sweetened condensed milk and substituted this with no real difference in a negative way. The recipe calls for a metric cup so its a decent amount, and the consistency of the cake was slightly different than usual but it still tasted fine. I didn't discern too much of a negative' difference, just a slight difference.

 Its Vegan though so most substitutions create such a difference and no real complaints here tasted fine to me. Sweetened condensed milk is a tough one to crack though its pretty good but this is also good for what it is.

 Product provided for review - its just my opinion.

Very good mix. Made a chocolate cake/banana cake with whip cream frosting. The banana flavor is not over powering.

Although they are not as good as a product that has gluten and dairy, for those that are GF/DF, this is an easy treat to make.

Batter is a little wet so you may want to hold back some of the water. Tasty and lighter than other mixes I have tried.

Its a cake mix.  Not sure how it compares to all others or what is actually different/better about it being organic.

My 3 year old was very happy with his cake. I didn't bake the cakes myself so I don't know how easy or difficult it was to put it on the cake. However, the final product was beautiful and delish. I was a little disappointed about the size of it. At the time of purchase I did not see its dimensions in the description so I went by available pictures, however when I received it it, I thought it was a little small in comparison to how it was presented.

I bought these cupcakes as a treat to have after dinner. The reason I chose these cupcakes is that they have a much longer shelf life than regular cupcakes, so I could eat them in moderation without worrying that they'd go bad.

The downside of the long shelf life is that the cupcakes aren't as moist and tasty as regular cupcakes. They are quite dry. However, they are yummy enough to satisfy my sugar cravings.

Other items of note:

- All cupcakes have yellow/white cake, even the ones with chocolate sprinkles. One of the product pictures is misleading because it shows the two cupcake types side by side and the chocolate cupcake has a much darker base, suggesting that the cake is also chocolate (not just the sprinkles.) As you can see in my pictures, both the colored sprinkles and chocolate sprinkles have white/yellow cake. I would've preferred chocolate cake for the cupcakes with chocolate sprinkles.

- The sprinkles get everywhere, both when you open the package and when you unwrap the cupcake. Prepare to make a big mess.

Overall, I think these cupcakes are OK. They are edible and good for satisfying a sugar craving despite being a bit dry and crumbly. I don't regret buying them, but I won't buy them again.

I have never had peanut butter cake before, even when I was eating gluten. This cake mix was really good. It was my birthday cake this year, with chocolate frosting. The cake was moist and thin. I would have needed three packages to make the cake in the photo. :) The cake mix calls for the addition of oil, eggs and peanut butter. So the peanut butter flavor really came through. Yum!

I'm a carb counter; I wanted this mix so that I could make things like strawberry shortcake biscuits, banana bread, and oatmeal cookies with Splenda. The first batch of oatmeal cookies turned out a little dry, but are otherwise rather tasty--and better than no oatmeal cookie at all. I made farmhouse oatmeal cookies, the kind with no brown sugar but made with soured milk. The strawberry shortcake biscuits turned out fine as well. Splenda works great with mashed strawberries. I haven't yet tried this mix with banana bread but I expect it will turn out well. Using this mix and Splenda, the carb count is quite low. I wouldn't recommend this mix to replace any white flour mix and expect the same results. But for heartier items, it works well.

Upon receiving this box I was disappointed to see how little 2.5 lbs is.  Then I made a batch of biscuits (6) and 1/3 of the mix was gone.  The biscuits taste good (not great).  I'm glad to have found a gluten free mix where all I have to do is add water, milk, or buttermilk.  Much like Bisquick but not as salty (which I am glad for).  I will probably purchase this again because it definitely tastes better than most of the other gluten free food out there.

I would rather not have to buy so many, but it is a great single serving size. The expiration is not even this year, so I should be able to finish them in time.

Is small. You just can use it for 2 or 3 pounds cake in my opinion. Colors and figurine is ok

It's true, you don't need a recipe for "take processed, packaged cake mix and add soda, preferably fluorescent, then nuke", repeated over 15 pages.  It's also easy, so perhaps I shouldn't be complaining.  I had rather hoped for interesting variants on the standard microwave mug cake for a rainy Sunday afternoon - in itself not too complex with egg/flour/oil.  I feel  the amount I paid for this "information" was too much.  I'm also a bit suspicious of the hearty 5* reviews, which led me to purchase.

The taste is great, and it has 180kcal per serving (each box has 2 servings. The serving size is good enough for a complete meal- or two meals.

I've bought this before, though never in such quantities. About a months ago, my wife and I were hiking Coyote Hills, and while tracking a white-tailed kite, kind of lost track of time and distance. We didn't plan that day very well, and when we got back to the car, we were grateful that I still had a bag of this trail mix in the trunk. We were sufficiently depleted so that there was enough sugar to give us energy, but not so much that we had the sugar high (or low). HOWEVER, much as we like this, it needs to be "cut" by adding salted peanuts or sunflower seeds. It really is quite sweet, in part because there are too many raisins and not enough dried apples. Although the pieces are smaller than what I'd prefer, I still find it to be a satisfactory emergency mix.

The higher ratio of raisins to the papaya, pineapple, and cranberries is understandable from a business standpoint, but not entirely acceptable from the consumer side.

All and all, it's a fair-good mix, but not as good as some of Emerald's others. It's why we've also stocked up for the coming summer with Emerald Harmony Deluxe Fruit N Nut Trail Mix AND Emerald Harmony Sunflower Kernels roasted/Salted. That, of course, raises the price of this trail mix.
