<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Having eaten a lot of stuff from Fiber One over the years, I\u2019ve always felt that it seems to specialize in what I like to call \u201cDieter\u2019s Delights.\u201d That is, it makes treats that only seem delightful if you\u2019re already depriving yourself of everything else that could even remotely be considered indulgent. <\/p>\n
Nowhere is this appeal to the calorie-conscious more apparent than in Fiber One\u2019s new Limited Edition Birthday Cake Baked Bars. After all, what kind of dieter could possibly allow themselves a slice of fiberless, fattening cake, when Fiber One promises to deliver as much flavor and enjoyment for only 90 calories AND with 5 grams of fiber to boot? Being the Birthday Cake queen that I am, I opted to buy the value pack of 12 individually wrapped bars, figuring that these would be right up my alley. <\/p>\n
The first thing I noticed about these baby-cake-bars is that they\u2019re small. Like, really small. They\u2019re two, maybe three bites at most, and I actually took a picture of one of them next to a quarter so that you can get a good idea of how small I\u2019m talking here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Looking at them, I can clearly tell they\u2019re supposed to be emulating Funfetti cake, although the hue of the sprinkles in the bars themselves look noticeably more anemic than they do on the box. The \u201cfrosting\u201d (or lack thereof) is a measly tangle of sugar-drizzle that makes me think that my cakes might have gotten caught under a dripping conveyor belt of freshly-frosted Krispy Kreme doughnuts. <\/p>\n
Size and cake-nakedness aside, they certainly smell delicious! They have a delicate, sweet vanilla scent that reminds me of any boxed mix that you\u2019d be likely to whip up at home. But, at the end of the day, taste is what matters most in any baked good, and Fiber One delivers here. The bars taste like a yummy (albeit tiny) square of yellow cake, and they\u2019re as good as any other snack cake that you would find prepackaged at the grocery store.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re a bit on the dense side, but I actually kind of dig that, especially with the crunch of the icing drizzle and the Funfetti sprinkles there to give some variation to the overall texture. I\u2019m still finding the size on these guys to be a problem, though. I find myself wanting to eat three or four to feel like I\u2019ve had a satisfying treat. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Ah, well, since I bought the value pack, I figured that I may as well set about rectifying the size and frosting issues by whipping up a quick batch of buttercream frosting and assembling eight of the bars together into a little Fiber One-inspired cake. NOW this is an indulgence! Diet-friendly? Probably not, considering that my buttercream has three cups of powdered sugar in it. But, delicious? Oh, you better believe it! <\/p>\n
