TastyKake Strawberry Kandy Kakes: The Money Shot

Hey, remember when I reviewed, and LOVED, the Lemon Kandy Kakes?  And remember when I remember when I reviewed, and really enjoyed, the Chocolate/Cherry Kandy Kakes? Yeah…these TastyKake Strawberry Kandy Kakes were a distant 3rd for me.

I dunno – the same waxy outside sugariness that I liked a lot with the lemon variety just didn’t work for me with this strawberry variety. The artificial strawberry flavor was definitely there, similar to the same fake strawberry taste I’d had in other snacks. However, that frosted outside coating, while it added a sort-of iciness to the lemon flavor, just tasted like waxy sugar on the outside of the strawberry. The consistency was the same as the other two cakes – soft, with a THICK coating of stuff on the outside that melted on my fingers. But either the strawberry wasn’t fruit-tangy enough to cut through the coating, or there was too much coating. Either way, I think it didn’t work, and the resultant combo wasn’t a hit.  Sorry TastyKake – I’ll stick to your delicious lemon variety!
