For all of you out there concerned about food allergies I would like to tell you about Cherrybrook Kitchen. They make natural baking mixes; frosting, cookie, cake, and pancake mixes that are wheat-based and gluten-free. They are also vegan, kosher, and peanut, dairy, egg, and nut free.

Patsy Rosenberg was addicted to chocolate cake. Hey, that's not something that bad is it? Well is wasn't, until she developed food allergies. She started reacting first to chocolate, then seafood, nuts, and any dairy and egg products. Doctors told Rosenberg that she could no longer eat any of these foods or else risk a life threatening allergic response.

She tried to stay away from all the foods that she reacted to and finally got fed up. She started playing around in her kitchen trying to create cakes without eggs and dairy products and after many failures came up with a few good recipes. She took cakes to parties and got such a good response that she decided to start Cherrybrook Kitchen.

The mixes have gotten some good press from Parents and Family Circle magazine, as well as some of the specialy mags. Now their mixes can be now be found in national chains, such as Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Kroger, Super Target, and Giant Eagle, for a total of around 3.500 stores nationwide.
