\"Little<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Serving as a whimsical and colorful foil to Zebra Cakes, these magically-inspired second cousins of Little Debbie\u2019s classic equine-themed treats feature strawberry-flavored cake with a strawberry filling, white icing, and bright sprinkles.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

Before I even get started on how these cakes taste, can I stop for a moment to mention how pretty they are to look at? Between their nearly perfect hexagonal shape, even coating, careful color balance, and personalized cellophane sleeve, I found these to be a pleasure to admire.<\/p>\n

Moving on, Little Debbie lived up to my expectations by making each one of these cakes taste as great as they looked. The cake itself is appropriately soft and buttery, with a thin layer of whipped filling in the middle to separate the two cake layers.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

The cake and filling are strawberry flavored, and I have to hand it to Little Debbie here for executing the strawberry quite well. It\u2019s subtle, but definitely there, and I found it worked well alongside the rest of the cake. In fact, its subtlety is what allows the strawberry flavor to work in the first place because it never comes across as overly artificial. I\u2019ve always had issues with fruit-themed cakes tasting anything but authentic in the past.<\/p>\n

While the outer coating doesn\u2019t add much flavor-wise, it helps keep the cakes within moist, and the glittering purple sprinkles on top give a hint of grit that keeps me entertained texturally. <\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

Even though I\u2019m well aware that Little Debbie isn\u2019t the most risk-taking snack brand in the grocery store, they could have elevated the whole \u201cSparkling Strawberry\u201d idea a step further by scattering strawberry-flavored popping candy pieces on the top rather than regular old sprinkles. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Being a treat that\u2019s pretty, tasty, and slightly fruity, Little Debbie\u2019s Sparkling Strawberry Unicorn Cakes are a much-appreciated respite during a time of year that\u2019s typically dominated by heavy autumnal spices and dark, earthy colors. <\/p>\n
