BabyCakes Do-it-Yourself Cookie Kit

Original photo can be found here.















This is very cool.

Babycakes has an awesome addition to their menu: the DIY chocolate chip cookie kit. Some folks may not be aware, but this is special because vegan and gluten free baked goods are hella expensive to make, especially if you don't already have the necessary materials on hand (and most of us who are not vegans or allergic to gluten usually don't).

Each batch makes about 40 cookies and costs only $26. The kits will be available May 7th and can also be shipped.
