Dave's Creamy Hot Sauces Burning Up the Market The hot sauce market is growing quickly and it is also evolving. The vinegary sauces that have dominated for decades are growing, but also losing market share to a new era of sauces, like Dave's Gourmet creamy hot sauces. These newer hot sauces have more complex savory flavors and a more interesting tex- ture. The creamy sauces are also more versatile. Maybe the test that shows how they really differ is that most hot sauces do not taste good when eaten straight or on chips, but creamy hot sauces are deli- cious straight, cooked into a variety of dishes or used at the table as a topping. Dave's Creamy Hot Sauces are actually vegan and gluten free, but they are whipped at high speed to make them creamy. Numerous chains, includ- ing Whole Foods, have picked up the sauces and they are growing really quickly. You should also expect to see them on select restaurant tabletops in the next couple of years. These sauces are both sauce and salsa and have roots in Mexican regional cuisine, but are terrific on Mexican foods, pizza, wings and so much more. You can learn more about Dave's Sauces on his website at w w w. d a v e s g o u r m e t . c o m . Dave's is originally known for making the hottest sauces in the universe (Dave's Insanity Sauce), but the creamy hot sauces are in the mild to medium range and come in three fla- vors: Roasted Jalapeno, Red Pepper Garlic and Ginger Citrus. Sticky Fingers Bakeries Introduces Three Gluten-Free Mix Choices Sticky Fingers Bakeries is excited to introduce three mixes to its gluten-free selection: Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancakes, Pumpkin Pancakes and Fudge Brownies. "We've had an overwhelmingly pos- itive response to our gluten-free scones," says Tom Owens, Sticky Fingers Bakeries Owner and co-Founder. "We wanted diversify our lineup, and make sure our gluten-free friends had some new flavors to add to their present lineup." The GF Buttermilk Pancakes are the perfect way to ease into the cooler weath- er and shorter days. The subtle buttermilk taste blended with a sorghum flour base pairs nicely with an anytime breakfast. The GF Brownies are also a great choice for parents looking for lunchbox additions or crowd-pleasing soccer snacks. Fudge Chocolate Brownies have been a favorite with pint-sized taste testers as well as their parents. "A lot of people are looking for gluten-free options now," Owens says. "I think the biggest compliment we've received is that most people can't even tell they are gluten-free." Sticky Fingers now offers five gluten-free scone mixes. In addition to the Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Cranberry, there's also Wild Blueberry, Meyer Lemon and Original flavored scones. The company maintains its commit- ment to quality with its gluten-free line.

Sticky Fingers Bakeries has used only the finest ingredients since it began as a retail bakery in San Diego more than 25 years ago. Sticky Fingers prides itself on what its mixes don't include: preservatives, artificial flavors or colorings, high fructose corn syrup, trans fats or cholesterol. "We want to highlight our ingredients, and give our customers something they can feel good about eating and serving to their family and friends," Owens says.
