The Ultimate Guilty Pleasure

It's no secret that we adore our pets, especially when it comes to celebrating special occasions. We love to spoil them with treats and gifts on important days, and what's more is that it feels great to know that they appreciate our care and attention. One of the greatest things about celebrating with your pet is that you can be as creative as you want regarding the flavors and the designs without being limited by what is available. We've compiled a list of our favorite online stores that allow you to make your own cake, and we couldn't be more excited to share them with you!

The Kindest Cut

Who doesn't love to indulge in a luxury every once in a while? Sometimes it's hard to find time to cook a meal, let alone indulge in a luxury, so when you want to treat yourself, you turn to dessert, and usually the easiest and the most convenient option is a cake. While there are many delicious chocolate, vanilla, and even carrot cake varieties out there, we can't help but be drawn to the cooler weather vegetables such as the ones made with eggplant, and especially the kind made with tomato. We're not just talking about the tartas personalizadas here either, we're referring to all the accouterments that come with it, including the whipped cream, the chocolate shavings, and the salad that follows. If you want to indulge in a luxury, this is the kind of cake that will bring back all the memories of a long and cold winter night spent snuggled up in front of the fireplace with your loved one. And just like that, instant romance. (Of course, the champagne would make it complete.)

My Cake Story

Did you know that we can't taste sweetness during embryonic development? In fact, it's the complete opposite. Our taste buds are not fully developed until we're about three years old, which means that anything sweet is incredibly appealing to us as babies and young children. This is because the sweetness triggers our instinctual "care-giver" response, which in return makes us feel secure and comforted. However, as we grow older, our taste buds become more refined, and we begin to find that some sweetness can be very irritating. To make sure that you're not giving your baby any bad food, it's important to read the ingredients before you start cooking, so that you know exactly what you're giving them. Fortunately, after they turn one, it becomes a lot easier to determine how much sugar is in each bite, and eventually it stops being a problem altogether. Still, it's never fun to wonder if what you're making is safe for your children, especially since this is something that you can't always be sure of.

This is why when you're baking for your baby, you want to avoid anything with too many sugar grains. A lot of the commercially prepared baby food has too much sugar in it, which can cause tooth decay in children. When cooking for your children, always use the white part of the sugar cane, not the brown, as it has more nutrients. You can also cook with brown sugar instead of white, but you should still avoid the refined white stuff, and instead use the raw sugar. The less refined the sugar content is, the greater the nutritional value will be. This is also why we prefer to use homemade almond milk rather than buying any type of milk, as the former has more nutrients and less sugar content. When it comes to choosing a cake flour, we prefer using all-purpose flour instead of cake flour, as it has more nutrients and is less likely to give you any digestive issues if you have a wheat allergy.

Cake Central

What if we told you there was a place that allows you to create your own bespoke cake, using only the ingredients that you specified, and maybe a few extras that you didn't even think of? Cake Central is the ultimate convenience store for those busy days when you need something sweet and don't have the time to cook, or if you simply want to treat yourself. With Cake Central, the search for the perfect loaf cake or individual cupcakes is no longer necessary, as you can simply browse their extensive range of pre-made cakes and choose which one you want to eat. If you choose one with chocolate, you're sure to satisfy your sweet tooth for a long time. Do you want something more adventurous? How about a cake made with blueberries and chocolate chip cookies? It's up to you!

With Cake Central, you can even add a variety of frostings, whipped cream, and garnish to create a truly unique and personalized cake that will delight your sweet tooth and your loved ones. This is the perfect place to create something truly special for a wedding, birthday party, or just because you want to treat yourself after a hard day at work. With Cake Central, every moment is a celebration.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

What would your daily diet look like if you didn't eat cake? Most of us would probably spend a big chunk of our day munching on chocolate chip cookies. While it would be incredibly difficult to avoid cake all together, you can incorporate it less and less into your diet as you get older, eventually eliminating it altogether. This is why we think that the chocolate chip cookie cake is the perfect option for anyone looking to shed off a few pounds or simply want to treat themselves after a stressful day at work. Although it has more calories than most other cakes, one piece of chocolate chip cookie cake will satisfy your sweet tooth for a long time.

The Ultimate Carrot Cake

What's one of the most popular cakes among the birthday cake options at Cake Central? You guessed it: the carrot cake. Made with all-natural carrots, raisins, walnuts, and dates, this cake is packed with nutrients, fiber, and vitamin A. If you're looking for a cake that's high in fiber and low in sugar, this is the one to choose. The walnuts add a bit of extra protein as well as essential nutrients like zinc and copper. (1 slice of carrot cake has 180 calories, 7.5g of fiber, and 2.5g of protein.)

This easy to make cake will remind you of those beautiful orange carrots that your grandma always had in her garden. Even if you don't have a garden, you can still find good-quality carrots that you can use in this cake, and the result will taste just as good. What's more is that you can prepare it in advance, which will make your life a lot easier when you're trying to get your kid's birthday party done on time.

Treat Yourself

There's no denying that we live in an increasingly convenient world, and being able to order what you want online has made life a lot easier for many of us. It's no secret that sweets are the ultimate guilty pleasure, and what's more is that it's quite fun to cook for yourself rather than have someone else do it for you. This is why we've grouped together these specific cakes, as they were all made with equal amounts of pleasure by our staff here at Tiny Kitchen.
