Trader Joe’s New Mini Sheet Cake is Toasted Coconut

Hot on the heels of their Cookies and Cream Mini Sheet Cake, Trader Joe's just rolled out Toasted Coconut ($5.99). You gotta love coconut for this one. It's a coconut cake with a coconut cream cheese icing. And I'm so sorry to use this word, but it is pretty dense and VERY MOIST. The…

We Tried Trader Joe’s New Cookies ‘n Cream Mini Sheet Cake

Ooh, Trader Joe's, you're evil. In January, just as everyone's coming out of the holidays, you sling a new mini sheet cake onto shelves!

Trader Joe’s New Strawberry Cloud Cake – Is it a Dream Cake or a Cream Cake?

Trader Joe's new Strawberries & Cream Cloud Cake has no right to be as good as it is. It's two layers of white cake with custard sandwiched between them, frosted with whipped cream. And finally topped with strawberries. Housed in a plastic dome, the box advises letting it thaw for 24 hours before consuming. But…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Madeleines

What makes madeleines great is that they're so simple. Buttery, eggy little shell-shaped cakes. (They're not cookies). And Trader Joe's makes pretty decent ones. I'll usually go for a bag of the lemon ones they have in the spring. Now they've come out with a gluten-free version. Upfront, we're not a gluten-free household, but I…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Lemon Mini Sheet Cake

I have been so jealous of everyone buying that gigantic chocolate peanut butter pie at Costco in the last couple of weeks. I don't even have the room in my freezer to save the leftovers if I did buy it. But at the other end of the spectrum is Trader Joe's Lemon Mini…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Stroopwafel Cake Mix

Trader Joe's Stroopwafel Cake Mix might be my fave new product of the 2020 Holiday Season. The one I would seriously like to see show up at other times of the year. I mean, they carry the little stroopwafel cookies all year, and bust out the big ones in a tin for Christmas, so why…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint Loaf

Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint Loaf and Baking Mix ($2.99 per box) is as good as you’re hoping it is. I baked it up in three mini loaves over the weekend and topped it with some candy cane shards from the bottom of the Peppermint Bark bag.
