Fun Cake

Fun Cake, but dry as an empty well. That was disappointing an embarrassing. I bought it for my sister's birthday. The icing in the middle was good and there was a lot of candy that fell out when you cut it, but terribly dry. If I could have I would have got my money back.

5lb cupcake

I was really disappointed with this 5-pound cupcake. The size was impressive, but that’s where the positives end. It was extremely sweet to the point of being overwhelming, and the texture was very dry, making it hard to enjoy. Definitely not worth it for the price or the hype.

Kids loved the surprise!

Cake was pretty good. Grandkids were excited to see the candy fall out. There were instructions on the cake, which I didn't notice. I think you were supposed to leave it at room temperature for a while? I can't remember, but it was kind of messy when we cut it. Kids didn't care. Again, they were excited about the candy inside!

Giant Cupcake Cake- No Bueno!

Cake was dry from the start. I normally like everything that comes from Sams bakery, but this was not their best by a long shot

The cake actually tasted good!

For a young birthday girl who only eats vanilla cake, likes sprinkles and M&M's, and loves a show this hit the mark. Plus a surprise. I don't even know how we discovered it but am glad we did.

Exactly as pictured

The cake was so fun for my daughter’s birthday. The middle of the cake “exploded” out just as the picture shows. Kids lost their mind over that. Only thing that would make it better in my kids opinion is if it came in chocolate instead of vanilla!

Cake

Cake was a little dry and I guess you're suppose to let it sit at room temperature for a little bit, otherwise the candy inside is too hard from being refrigerated.

Yummy & Fun!

This was so fun for my daughters birthday. She knew right away it was a giant cupcake. The filling that fell out was so much fun. I'm glad we made this purchase. It was something fun and different to do.

DRY - Driest cake ever

This cake the the driest cake I have ever eaten (attempted to eat) in my life. It's big, and looks the part, but it does not taste good at all. It's dry and the icing and cake both tasted sub par. This will make me NEVER buy a Carlo's cake online, ever! I will buy PUBLIX cakes only from now on, this was yuck..

Dry like the Arizona Desert in August

Man I had such high hopes for this cake. Usually cakes from Carlo's Bakery are moist and delicious. Not the case here with this one.This cake is dryer then the Arizona desert in August. What a total disappointment. The cake is a typical ring style cake then filled will a zillion sprinkles and a handful of M&Ms. The center fill ratio is nearly all sprinkies. Way too many sprinkles. The buttercream is a typical vanilla the Carlo's uses for other cakes they make. The ratios are off and again this is a very DRY cake. What a disappointment. it's cute and nice to look at and yes it would be fun for kids to cut into, however, for adults, it's just dry and overrated.
