The Innocent Baker is Canada’s FIRST Gourmet Baking Box! The box comes straight into your home every month complete with pre-measured artisanal ingredients, an easy-to-follow, step-by-step themed recipe card and a surprise gift to assist you on the road to making delicious desserts for friends and family! They kindly sent us this box for review.
If you live in Canada and love to bake, then this is the box for you. I have been, and always will be, a baker. I like spending time in the kitchen and I like making sweet recipes for loved ones. I don’t personally eat anything I bake. Ha, figure that one out. But I LOVE baking for other people. So…..The Innocent Baker really is a great subscription for someone like me.

Have you ever wanted to try a recipe that called for a small amount of an unusual ingredient but found that sourcing and stocking said ingredient was not worth the time, money and effort.

Here’s a closer look at the items we received in the July The Innocent Baker box….

The Innocent Baker Review July 2019 – Final Thoughts
The July The Innocent Baker box has provided me with a recipe that I have struggled with over the years. Cheesecake is my nemesis. Cheesecake and I have a love/hate relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE to make cheesecake, and it is always requested at family get-togethers, but it can be time consuming to prepare and the baking process is finicky. But…..I am ready for the challenge and was actually really excited to see them feature a cheesecake recipe in the July box. And can we talk about the mini springform pans?! I can’t wait to test those bad boys out!
