Buyer Beware!

The 20 lbs of flour available at Costco is NOT FLOUR! Don't be fooled! I was just an innocent woman, baking mass amounts of cupcakes on a weekly basis and decided it to be wise to buy flour in Costco size.
"Looks and tastes like white flour?" Should've been a dead giveaway. Sir Sunderland's banana bread made using this crap, tasted like pure flour. Should've been a dead giveaway.
I make my first attempt at white cake from scratch, this crap was used. They turned out to be dry cucpcakes that tasted like muffins and flour. Should've been a dead giveaway.

Final and dead giveaway was tonight. Champagne cupcakes made with the crappy impostor flour. Gee, those look dry and taste like a muffin and flour! Ohhhhh! Now I get it! 

This magical ultragrain crap is frickin' whole wheat flour disguised as All-Purpose Flour. Duh! This impostor has managed to ruin my baked goods for months!

The good news? More champagne for us.
Also, I am slightly relieved this batch of cupcakes didn't work out. They were supposed to be for a very ungrateful girl I work with for her birthday. Shucks, I guess karma does exist after all.

Costco obviously has no idea who they are messing with...

Boy, that makes me mad for you! I hate when things are disguised as something you'd actually want to buy but instead it's a trick! It's like all the icky ingriedients in the food we purchase, can't we just have the clear picture of what we're buying?! I hope the birthday girl at your work doesn't read your blog, or you might be in trouble there! Anyways, first time I've visited you. I really like your St. Patrick's Day LUCK frame you made, so cute! Suzie

Wow that is a lot of "flour" I love to bake but I have NEVER bought that much. What can you do with it now???
Sorry it was such a mess, sometimes it scares me to not know what is in some products. I am getting better at reading labels...
Stopped by to thank you for visiting my blog and entering my giveaway. Hope you visit again sweetie!
