In the October 2022 edition of OUR STATE magazine, editors feature the delicious success of Chapel Hill native, Annette “Neecy” Council, daughter of the late Mildred Council, of Mama Dip’s Kitchen on Rosemary Street. 

In her own words:

“I remember watching my mother and grandmother bake when I was a little girl. They would always make the most delicious cakes from scratch. I would help with measuring the ingredients and mixing them together. Then we would pour the batter into the cake pan and put it in the oven. The smell of the cake baking always made the house smell so good.

I loved watching both my grandmother and mother bake cakes. These fond memories inspired me to create my own collection of cake mixes. I wanted to share with others a way to reduce baking preparation time and enjoy delicious cakes.

So, I created Sweet Neecy Cake Mixes. These quick and easy-to-prepare mixes make delicious pound cakes, layers cakes, Bundt cakes, coffee cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. You can also add additional flavors to your batter with an addition of fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips.

Baking is such a fun and delicious activity to do with family and friends. I hope you enjoy baking with my cake mixes and create your own memories.

NC Secretary State Elaine Marshall is a fan of Sweet Neecy cake mix.
