# Climate-Friendly Cupcake Mixes Renewal Mill's Vanilla Cake & Cupcake Mix Fights Climate Change By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2023-03-07 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-cake-cupcake-mix References: [specialtyfood](https://www.specialtyfood.com/news/article/renewal-mill-launches-new-vanilla-cake-mix-featuring-perfect-days-animal-free-egg-replacer-127526/) & [renewalmill](https://www.renewalmill.com/products/vanilla-cake-cupcake-mix)  Renewal Mill's Vanilla Cake & Cupcake Mix is gluten-free, animal-free and it features upcycled okara flour to support a more sustainable future. This new product launched at Natural Products Expo West 2023 and it was made possible with an animal-free whey protein product that acts like eggs in baking. The Protein Pre-Blend Bakery Egg Replacer came from precision fermentation company Perfect Day, and this first-of-its-kind baking mix offers a refreshed version of the classic vanilla cake and cupcake mixes that consumers already know and love. Renewal Mill's product development team is led by five-time James Beard Award-Winner Alice Medrich, who said, "Perfect Day Egg Replacer is a game changer. I didn’t think it possible to reproduce the texture of a classic American-style cake without using actual eggs. I’m excited to have been proven wrong." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 15% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Climate-friendly Baking Mixes:** Upcycle food waste and animal-free ingredients to make sustainable baking mixes. - **Precision Fermentation for Food Production:** Use precision fermentation to create animal-free and sustainable ingredients for food products. - **Gluten-free and Animal-free Baking Alternatives:** Create new baking alternatives that are both gluten-free and animal-free to cater to a growing market demand. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Incorporate sustainable food ingredients and precision fermentation for improved product quality and eco-friendliness. - **Health Food Stores:** Offer climate-friendly and animal-free baking products to meet the growing demand from health-conscious consumers. - **Environmental Sustainability Consulting:** Consult with food companies on how to incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable practices to reduce the impact of food production on the environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Climate-Friendly Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-hero-super-cake-mix.md) - [Vanilla-Flavored Baking Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-mills-1.md) - [Indulgent Plant-Powered Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-cupcakes.md) - [Upcycled Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bake-me-healthy.md) - [Egg-Free Caramel Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-caramel-cupcakes.md) - [Upcycled Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-baking.md) - [Upcycled Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-vegan-ice-cream.md) - [Health-Focused Plant-Based Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-baking-mix.md) - [Protein Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-cake-mixes.md)
