Raspberry Creme Cakes

Mrs Freshley's

With a red as bright as the sun itself and the promise of cream in the centre, this is a treat I could not turn down. I have to say that the company name is one I've never heard of, and seeing as they sell snack cakes that never go bad, I have to wonder if Mrs. Freshley still exists. Either way, I could tell I was in for some good time cake eating, and it wasn't even my birthday.

Now I have to be honest, two things kind of disappointed me about this treat. First of all, I thought, or at least hoped, that it was raspberry cake all the way through. Unfortunately, the raspberry was only on the outside. The cake inside was basically just a Twinkie. Not that I don't like them, but if I wanted a Twinkie I'd buy a Twinkie. I was also disappointed at the presence of coconut. I'm just not a big fan.

I didn't really taste any raspberry either, which was also disappointing because it's written in huge letters on the package. The taste of the coconut didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I may be developing a taste for it, but it could also be that I was so disappointed by the lack of raspberry taste that I forgot all about it.

Taste: 1.5
Novelty: 1.5
Texture: 2.5
