Goldilocks premium cakes

I remember Goldilocks from the snack cakes that used to fill my lunchbox in gradeschool. Not only that but we are often teased to no end as our school uniform is similar to the cake boxes used by Goldilocks. I guess I should add that my classmate happens to own Goldilocks. **Sigh.

At that time, it was the only bakeshop I knew and loved… until others sprung up.

Because of the “others” and my evolving taste and standards for great cakes, I must admit I have not tried to Goldilocks in a long time. In fact, when faced with a variety of choices, I would most likely not choose their cakes.

So it was indeed a treat to have the chance to try out their cakes again. My hubby brought this home last week. Until today we have not figured out what kind of cake it is - trust sweetie to forget - and the Goldilocks website did not have information on this particular cake.

Doesn’t it look just utterly good? I was giddy with anticipation of tasting it.

I took a very big slice for myself after dinner. Unfortunately, I ended up leaving a big half of it on my plate.

The base cake was chocolate. But you will only be able to discern that after going through heaps of icing and what appears to be cherry flavored mousse. The chocolate cake was ok. But the combination was… shall I say - childish. The taste reminded me of those locally made and sold chocolate marshmallows that are sold in your neighborhood store. Oh no not the marshmallows that I just recently wrote about. But those tiny ones that used to be sold at 25cents each. They were colored pink marshmallows that were covered in cheap chocolate. The taste was… pink. Going back.. The whole cake tasted candy-ish. My kids love it and I wasn’t surprised. Maybe it was made especially for them. Oh well… back to my favorites.
