Choosing Your Dessert Mixes & Ice Cream Starters

With so many different types of baking mixes and ice cream starters offered at Williams Sonoma, deciding which ones to add to your pantry requires taking a few key factors into consideration, such as:

• Item: Begin checking out all the different types of baking mixes and ice cream starters available in this collection, considering what types of desserts are favourites among your friends and family. Do you prefer making brownies, serving cookies, offering a classic Bundt cake, or combining a few different desserts on a larger dessert table? This will help direct you toward the proper dessert mixes for your next meal.
• Flavours: Next, look at all the different versions of that specific dessert, paying attention to the different flavour profiles. Chocolate, lemon, caramel and vanilla all have distinct flavours. Don't just consider your personal favourites, but also consider the other savoury items you are presenting at the meal and look for flavours that will complement the existing menu. Of course, if you're having trouble choosing just one, you can always stock up on a couple of different options.
• Ingredients: It's always a good idea to look at the ingredients of the mix, especially if anyone at your dinner party has allergies or food intolerances of any kind.
• Servings: Think about how many people will be sharing the dessert and make sure to look at how many servings the mixes provide. You can always stock up on multiple starters for larger crowds.
• Additional Ingredients Necessary: Make sure you have everything on-hand to whip up these tasty treats by looking at what other ingredients you may need to add to the mixes, such as water, milk, eggs or oil.
