Our technologists and chefs have worked extra hard to create these great tasting cake mixes WITHOUT SUGAR ALCOHOLS! They are amazingly easy to prepare and are ready in about a half hour. Chocolate: We began with some excellent cocoa, added almond flour (the main ingredient) along with other natural ingredients, and sweetened it just right with Splenda. After a slice of this guilt-free, lowcarb chocolate cake… your dinner’s complete. Carrot: This is our chef’s favorite item. Topped with a cream cheese frosting, this carrot cake is truly excellent. Each slice contains 16 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and just 4 net carbs. Controlling the carbohydrates in your diet, combined with regular exercise, is the easiest way to look and feel your best. Each serving provides heart-healthy fiber, protein and essential fatty acids for a great tasting, wholesome snack. Author bab_indy MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: $5.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: easy, taste, texture Cons: I like these a lot. The carrot cake is my favorite. Especially with sugar free cream cheese frosting. No sugar alcohols and very low carbs. The chocolate isn't bad either but a bit higher (4 carbs/serving). Servings are 1/9 of the total, a generous amount. I bake them in a square cake pan, frost, slice and freeze. jjcoff Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2004 Posts: 15 Review Date: Tue January 13, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $6.00 | Rating: 7    Pros: texture, flavor Cons: just isn't the same, price I was surprised that it actually tasted decent. I love carrot cake and missed the chunks of pinnapple. But it was a good substitution and I would definately buy it again. gsforever Junior LCF Member Registered: August 2003 Location: North East Posts: 11 Review Date: Tue January 27, 2004 Would you recommend the product?

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 6    Pros: Taste Cons: Texture.... I must admit that since I only paid 99 cents for this mix at Canned Foods Outlet, it was a major bargain! I haven't tried the Carrot Cake mix yet--just the Chocolate one. While the taste wasn't bad (I think I left it in the oven for a couple of minutes too long and it would have been moister otherwise), it didn't rise much and it came out very uneven....the batter was very thick going in, and therefore didn't have the uniformity that you can get with a thinner batter. Of course, I've had this problem consistently with all of the low-carb (layer-type)cakes that I've baked--both from mixes and from scratch. I have yet to find any low-carb cake that starts out moist and ends up rising correctly and retaining the proper amount of moisture. Fluffy cakes don't seem to have been invented in the low-carb realm yet. I'm giving it a 6 only because I'm hoping that something better will come out in the near future. It's as good as anything else out there (of its type) at the moment, especially if the price is right. In the meantime, I'm going to stick with Chocolate Tortes instead of cakes, because if it has to be heavy, at least my (homemade) Tortes come out perfectly. qcat22 Junior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Location: Indianapolis Posts: 2 Review Date: Fri October 8, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Tastes a lot like a brownie. Very moist. Freezes well. Cons: doesn't rise like a regular cake mix, if you are looking for a traditional cake I would recommend this product to everyone who loves chocolate brownies, but is trying to keep their carb counts low. These only have 4 net carbs each. I underbaked mine (on purpose) just a bit and it turned out more like a brownie, as the texture is much different than a regular cake. Makes 9 generous servings and is great with a little cream cheese icing you can make with Splenda. A great item to make in advance and keep in the freezer for those brownie cravings. kahluaqueen Junior LCF Member Registered: September 2004 Location: Fresno,CA Posts: 3 Review Date: Mon October 11, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: great tasting for a mix Cons: n/a For a boxed mix, this (chocolate one) tasted pretty good. Very easy to make. I think I may have over-baked the first one since it had a tad bit dry texture. The next attempt I added 1/4 cup of Mayo to the mix and it was EXCELLENT. No frosting was even needed. Just sifted a little pwd Maltitol on top. I had to start slicing and freezing to ensure 'portion control'. Ya know, outta site, outta mind! Bought out the whole supply at Walmart to have it on hand for when I'm low on my ingredients needed for my homemade cakes/brownies. taildragger Junior LCF Member Registered: November 2004 Posts: 5 Review Date: Thu November 11, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $1.00 | Rating: 8    Pros: good texture, not bad taste Cons: not sweet enuff Compared to other Chocolate cake mixes and carrot cake, too, these aren't bad. I make a low carb, sugar free frosting and that makes it like 'real' cake. Added little extra Splenda to both and that helped. Not bad!! anne27 Junior LCF Member Registered: December 2004 Location: Tennessee Posts: 5 Review Date: Wed December 15, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $1.00 | Rating: 10    Pros: good flavor, tasty Cons: slighty gummy texture The carrot cake has become a HUGE hit with my family, even those not dieting. I add a pinch of cinnamon and a little chopped nuts and cover the cake with sugar free cinnamon cream cheese icing. I'd highly recommend it! I have made brownies from the chocolate mix by adding an egg and cutting back on the water. It turned out quite good, too. underHiswing Senior LCF Member Registered: June 2004 Location: Florida Posts: 799 Review Date: Fri January 21, 2005 Would you recommend the product?

Fluffyfriend Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2005 Location: NE Posts: 46 Review Date: Mon February 28, 2005 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $2.99 | Rating: 3    Pros: Easy Cons: Was dry, and bland Maybe with alot of doctoring, and some frosting, but, it would then be logical to just make it from scratch. Petlady MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: March 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 2251 Review Date: Sun March 13, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 5    Pros: very easy to make Cons: too dry Although it was easy to make it had a different flavor. I've had other products by carbsense and had no problems. Next time I would have to doctor it up a bit. cubalz Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Location: Harrisburg PA Posts: 2 Review Date: Mon March 21, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: FIBER!! Taste, convenience Cons: Chocolate Cake Mix: I use this to make 12 muffins (baked for 13 min) - each one has 3 net carbs and 9 gms of fiber!! Hubby loves these! Carrot Cake Mix: I also mix this according to package directions but make 12 muffins. It lowers the carb count to 3 net gms - still decent fiber but nothing like the chocolate. A good moist muffin but not very flavorful. I'll eat these but hubby detests cinnamon and won't touch them. kitnmom MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Price you paid?: $0.99 | Rating: 6    Pros: easy quick to make Cons: bland dry well it was ok with splenda and cream poured over it, made it like melted brownie icecream but not very chocolaty. i would spend my carbs elsewhere if i had it to do again cnj628 MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: July 2002 Posts: 1948 Review Date: Fri June 10, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: very good Cons: i bake these a lot. i add walnuts to the carrot cake and make it as it looks on the package - 2 layers with cream cheese frosting between the layers and on top. the chocolate cake is just as good. i spend a morning baking all their products - the 2 cakes, along with the brownies and apple cinnamon muffins then freeze them in individual bags so i am ready when that baked goods craving comes along. Deannie Senior LCF Member Registered: December 2003 Location: New Hampshire Posts: 605 Review Date: Sat July 30, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: quick treat and easy to prepare when living in a hotel Cons: none While the flavor was good and this product doen't contain sugar alcohols I do prefer all homemade treats. The chocolate and carrot cakes were life savers when we were moving and I only had access to a few baking utensils in a hotel kitchen. SouthernLiving Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2006 Location: Louisiana Posts: 129 Review Date: Wed April 19, 2006 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: texture Cons: odd aftertaste The carrot cake wasn't that great until I added some cream cheese frosting. It's not something I would make often. goldangit Junior LCF Member Registered: June 2003 Location: Northwest Wisconsin Posts: 13 Review Date: Wed August 2, 2006 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: simple to use, taste was good Cons: none I was able to purchase these mixes from our local Wal-Mart for a very reasonable cost. The chocolate was my favorite with a dollop of whipped cream. Unfortunately our local Wal-Mart closed in favor of a Super Wal-Mart who now carries nearly nothing as far as low carb mixes/products. I'm so bummed! sweetie02151 Junior LCF Member Registered: April 2008 Review Date: Sat May 3, 2008 Would you recommend the product?
