Boxes of Joy: Baker's Delight

If you are lucky, whoever you gift this box to will share the cake they make with it. An array of fine baking ingredients and a recipe for our Autumn Harvest Cake. The perfect accompaniment to an afternoon tea, this snacking cake is a squash base, studded with apples and a blend of warm spices. Made with these fine ingredients, it will truly be the delight of any baker. 

Diaspora Spice Co Peni Miris Cinnamon: Grown and foraged by a community of organic farmers from the heart of Sri Lanka! This very special cinnamon is a freshly ground blend, developed just for Diaspora. It's equal parts "Peni" or sweet, honey-tasting chips from younger trees, and then "Miris" or extra spicy chips from wild old-growth trees. 

Appalachian Beekeeping Collective: This brand is one of our favorites due to their mission and adherence to the most pure methods of beekeeping. ABC is a nonprofit that trains, supports, and provides bees and equipment free of charge to partner beekeepers in economically distressed counties. ABC honey is produced through natural beekeeping methods. Their expert staff helps partners follow a strict protocol rooted in science to ensure  bees are healthy, happy, and chemical free. 

Heilala Vanilla Paste: Heilala believe that the best vanilla comes from long-term relationships so they are passionate about supporting hundreds of vanilla farming families in Tonga through partnerships that build local community opportunities. Heilala Vanilla is the good vanilla – good for the community, the growers, their families....and any baker using their vanilla. Real vanilla seeds suspended in concentrated extract yields this super flavorful and bright paste that lends a noticeable difference to all baked goods.
