"I don’t even live in the country anymore, but whenever I’m back in Oakland I stop by the spice shop...everyone is always so helpful, they were super sweet this last time and offered my toddler a cinnamon stick to suck on while I shopped. I highly recommend a visit, it’s always an inspiration! :)"

"I live for this salt. I give it as a gift. I put it on vegetables, in soup, in salad dressings...sometimes I just have a taste on its own. Don't even get me started about what it does to eggs, beans and avocado. Seriously... this is the best seasoning I've ever used. It's replaced salt & pepper at our house. NO REGRETS."

"As the bottom of the bottle nears, the kitchen larder calls for more. Better Than Everything Bagel Spice is now a required staple in our cozy northern kitchen."

This cake is made with a variety of warming spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. All of these spices create a flavor profile similar to chai, while enhancing the natural sweetness of the carrots, and bringing out the notes of caramel in the brown butter cream cheese frosting.
