We
went
to
Unrefined
Bakery
thinking
that
it
was
the
best
place
we
could
buy
a
quality,
clean,
refined
sugar
free,
and
kinda
organic
premade
cake
for
our
daughter’s
3rd
birthday.
The
cake
we
chose
had
a
lot
of
no’s
checked
(no
gluten,
no
soy,
etc…),
but
not
an
actual
ingredient
label.
I
now
recognize
our
error,
but
at
the
time
we
gave
Unrefined
Bakery
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
that
they
were
being
truthful
in
their
marketing
and
statements.
Upon
taking
our
first
bites
of
the
cake
everyone
in
our
family
felt
surprised
by
the
taste.
It
was
too
good
and
familiar
to
not
contain
refined
sugar.
Sure
enough,
our
suspicions
were
right.
It
wasn’t
until
after
we
had
visited
a
second
time
for
quick
dessert,
that
we
had
the
idea
to
stop
back
in
for
a
celebratory
treat.
This
time
though,
I
asked
my
husband
to
call
ahead
and
make
absolutely
sure
that
they
did
not
use
refined
sugar,
like
they
said
on
their
social
media
accounts
and
on
their
website.
They
use
honey
and
agave
in
their
paleo
options,
but
the
keto,
standard
and
vegan
all
have
raw
demerara
cane
sugar.
It
is
well
known
that
raw
cane
sugars,
such
as
demerara,
do
in
fact
undergo
a
high
degree
of
refining.
It
takes
1-meter
of
sugar
cane
to
make
1tsp
of
crystallized
sugar.
Leaving
a
little
molasses
in
may
be
a
little
better
than
sugar
that
is
bright
white,
but
it
doesn’t
make
it
unrefined.
I
first
reached
out
to
the
company
with
my
disgust
in
their
deception
in
marketing,
and
the
daughter
owner
responded
by
email.
I
was
met
with
excuses
and
claims
that
ingredients
are
listed
and
available
all
over.
That’s
simply
not
true
as
proven
by
the
photo
I
took
of
my
daughter’s
cake
lid.
They
will
identify
things
that
are
vegan,
paleo,
keto,
or
standard,
but
they
don’t
disclose
the
full
ingredient
list
publicly.
A
person
shouldn’t
have
to
ask
to
know
what’s
in
their
food.
If
they
truly
put
ingredient
labels
on
their
products
as
they
claim,
we
wouldn’t
be
having
a
problem
because
we
would
never
have
spent
a
dime
there.
Too,
Taylor
disclosed
how
poorly
trained
their
employees
are,
stating
they
don’t
even
know
how
to
identify
a
refined
sugar.
That
they’re
not
educated
on
the
ingredients
contained
in
their
products,
which
is
the
very
foundation
their
company
is
based
upon
-
supposed
ingredient
quality
and
integrity.
I
abhor
deceptive
marketing
practices
and
will
not
be
shy
about
it.
I
did
notice
they
changed
their
Facebook
bio.
I
mean
maybe
they
should
receive
a
pat
on
the
back
for
assuming
some
responsibility?
We’ve
since
called
around
to
every
vegan
baker
and
while
they
all
use
refined
cane
sugar,
I
appreciated
they
were
honest
about
it!
If
they
all
use
refined
cane
sugar
anyway,
there
are
far
better
bakeries
to
choose
from,
if
you’re
cool
with
that!
Far
as
we
go,
looks
like
we
will
be
baking
at
home
from
now
on.
