Caffeine in your cakes and cookies?

caffeine in baked goods, donuts, pastries

If you’ve ever tried to chew Vivarin instead of swallowing it, you’re well aware of the fact that caffeine- as available in its raw form- has a horrible, bitter taste.

A molecular biologist who owns a coffee shop in North Carolina, however, has figured out a way to turn caffeine into small, flour-like particles and eliminate the bad taste so it can be added to baked goods like donuts, cakes, and pastries.

Currently, he’s getting a patent on the process and trying to see if Starbucks and Krispy Kreme might be interested.

Is this something you’d eat?
