\"Marie<\/a><\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.50
\nSize:<\/b> Two cakes
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Market Basket
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Definitely better thawed than microwaved. Gentle carrot cake smell and fairly complex flavor. Sweet icing and fun spongy texture. Occasional carrot shreds. Less saturated fat than the Marie Callender’s Chocolate Satin Mini Pies
\nCons:<\/b> The size of a small cupcake. Unexpected walnuts that I mistook for raisins on first glance. Frosting might slide off during heating. Heating leads to inconsistent temperature. Less filling when heated. Having to wait for it to thaw for a better experience. Strange yellow chunk of… carrot?<\/p>\n
