English term or phrase: dry bake mixes
A trip to Country X found that a number of products with potential for export to the Country Y's market failed to meet the required standard for packaging and labelling.
These products included local sauces/relishes and traditional bean dishes, and Commodity Processors’ ***dry bake mixes*** (including banana fritters and cassava flour mixes).

agree  FX Fraipont (X): c'est ce que j'emploierais aussi - comme les "cake mixes".

préparations pâtissières sèches


Explanation:
Most 'mixes' for things like cakes, etc. seem to be called 'préparation'

Generally speaking, I wouldn't have thought it was really necessary to add 'dry', since 'préparations' usually are anyway.

agree  Philippe Maillard
2 mins
  -> Merci, Philippe !
agree  GILLES MEUNIER: oui dry = sec doit apparaître logiquement...
8 mins
  -> Merci, Gilles ! Oui, sauf que je constate qu'en France, la plupart des telles préparations sont sèches, tandis qu'en anglais, ceci n'est pas forcément le cas. On pourrait même aller jusqu'à dire que 'préparation' = 'dry mix', par exemple.

préparations déshydratées pour pâtisseries


Explanation:
Le terme "déshydraté" est très utilisé en cuisine et c'est ce qu'indique "dry", je pense.

neutral  Tony M: Problem is, that really = dried, and some mixes may consist of dry ingredients, but not have been subjected to specific drying; e.g. a cake mix, containing flour, sugar, and baking powder, to which the user will add the 'wet' ingredients (butter, eggs).
7 mins
  -> ok, then may be we can say "en poudre", also used for cooking ingredients.

préparation pour gâteaux


Explanation:
Le site de Vahiné, par exemple, propose des "préparations pour gâteaux" pour les gens qui n'ont pas le temps de faire la cuisine. Si le sachet contient une pâte (et non pas une poudre) on peut être un peu plus précis et utiliser le terme "pâte à gâteaux prête à l'emploi" (voir le site de Herta).

neutral  Tony M: That's all very well, but might be too restrictive: what if this is a bread mix, for example?
8 hrs
  -> True, I would then say "préparations en poudre (pour pains et pâtisseries)". To me, "pâtisseries" doesn't describe the bread so it would be better to put both.
