I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. I bought these for a Halloween party and felt the amount received was a good value for the cost. I asked those at the party what they thought of the different pastries as I wanted to leave a thorough review. The lemon iced cake received the most positive feedback. Everyone that ate that one really enjoyed it and commented on the icing and the cake flavor. I found the cake moist and the lemon flavor was not too sour. The second favorite flavor was the banana chocolate. I enjoyed this one as well, though not as much as the lemon iced. The banana was not overly artificial but the chocolate didn't come through as well as I would have hoped. The apple strudel and cinnamon crumble were both enjoyed and tied for third-best feedback. The strudel had good flavor but commenters said it was a bit doughy. The strudel was a bit dense but still had good flavor. Last place for most enjoyed was the very berry. It was a bit too sweet and artificial-testing for many people. Overall, this is a good product for the price. No one absolutely hated any item - just some commented that the pastry they tried was just okay and not great. But for a little over $20 it's hard to find a comparable product for a comparable value. Definitely sample the lemon iced if you buy a tray - it is a standout.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. And quite honestly, they are fabulous! I would have bought them anyway. I replaced the packaging with a lovely serving dish and brought them to my Bible Study class for breakfast on Sunday morning. Gone in a flash! The lemon-flavored goodies were moist, lemony, and delicious. All of the selections are tasty, never dry with no artificial after-taste. I will definitely repeat the purchase. The Members Mark brand has never disappointed me! Way to Go, Sam's!

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. We purchased in the Wake Forest NC club to sample and try them out. All of the pastries are delicious! We especially enjoyed the lemon cream cake, and the cinnamon swirl. However, all are great and we recommend them highly for breakfast OR dessert after dinner.

I have been reimbursed for this review and leave an honest review of the product. The variety of the pastries is excellent. If having a party or supplying breakfast pastries for the office, this would be a great choice. The size of each pastry is perfect for a group gathering; they can be handheld - not too small or too large- just right! Overall, my family and I found the pastries very moist. It seemed the pastries (except the iced apple strudel) used the same type of batter with different toppings to add specific flavors. The chocolate banana swirl had a more "spongy" texture and the banana flavoring was a little overpowering; the chocolate swirl was on top of the pastry and added too little taste of chocolate. (My daughter who loves banana bread thought this was her favorite.) The lemon velvet cake was absolutely perfect. It had just enough lemon flavoring as a topping with the moist cake texture which created a very good pastry! The cinnamon crumb cake is a very good coffee pastry. There were small chunks of cinnamon on top of each pastry with just the right amount of sweetness. With the moistness of the cake, a good choice. The very berry swirl was not very "berry." The cake was moist but there wasn't enough swirl to add the right amount of berry flavor to the pastry. The iced apple strudel had a dry texture, much like you would expect from a strudel. There wasn't enough apple filling which made the strudel even drier. There wasn't very much "icing" either, which didn't help.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. The tray is very large and the cakes were nicely displayed. They honestly didn't taste like breakfast pastries to me but more like small portions of cake. My favorite is the crumb cake which was delicious. The apple choice tasted like a cross between apple pie and apple strudel. In any case it would be greatly improved if it had more apple filling. These cakes would work for dessert at a fancy luncheon or served with coffee or tea in the afternoon. Would only consider purchasing if I had a fairly large crowd to feed.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. These pastries were significantly above average in quality. The lemon velvet cakes were exceptional. The filling was light and smooth, with a nice lemon flavor and not overly sweet. In fact, one of the best things about all of the pastries was that they were rich, but not overly sugary sweet. We found the chocolate banana swirls and berry swirls to be very similar. They seemed like the same pound cake recipe, just with different additions. They were good, but more ordinary-- more the dunk-in-your-coffee kind of cake. The iced apple strudels had a good flavor. The apple flavor was throughout the pastry, not really a gooey filling. The crumb cakes were excellent. The size of the cakes was very handy and would make them perfect for an office or group setting. These also would be a good meeting room choice because none of the cakes was very messy to eat. While a person at a meeting probably would eat one, in my house they tend to go two at a time! They were very fresh and light in taste, much better than prepackaged baked goods. I would buy them for an event without hesitation, especially the lemon velvet! I feel confident that bringing these to the workplace would make you everyone's favorite co-worker, for the day at least.

Great for a Birthday gathering-delicious

Dry bland. The variety is not of any true taste

were rather dry and not a great taste
