The rich sweetness and pops of color always evoke childhood memories of opening a fresh can of Funfetti frosting &#8212; and plunging a spoon into its creamy depths.<\/p>\n<p>However, I write this review now as a sophisticated adult who eats vegetables of her own accord and no longer considers Lunchables to be &#8220;unpretentious charcuterie boards.&#8221; (Okay, only most of this sentence is true some of the time.) <\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, I enjoy birthday cake flavor mostly in smaller doses and when it is paired with a complementary flavor or texture. If you like Birthday Cake Oreo Cookies, but thought Birthday Cake Hershey&#8217;s Kisses left something to be desired, then we might be of the same icing ilk.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Birthday-Cake-Kit-Kat-Wafers.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Birthday Cake Kit Kat Wafers\" title=\"Birthday Cake Kit Kat Wafers.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Birthday Cake Kit Kat meets this most important criterion, as its crispy wafer insides pair well with the sweet white cr\u00e8me coating. The cr\u00e8me&#8217;s frosting-inspired flavor is spot on. I detected a hint of buttery taste that is often lacking in other birthday cake products that rely too heavily on sugar and artificial coloring as substitutes for flavor.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Birthday-Cake-Kit-Kat-Fingers.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Birthday Cake Kit Kat Fingers\" title=\"Birthday Cake Kit Kat Fingers.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The rainbow nonpareils stand out beautifully against the white cr\u00e8me coating, giving the candy a cheery, fun appearance. They also provide a bit of extra crunch, which is not evident in every bite. Initially worried that the sprinkles would overwhelm the product and result in a gritty texture, I was pleased with their subtle effect. <\/p>\n<p>The only thing I did not like about this Kit Kat is that the oil in the coating left a feeling of &#8220;mouth coat&#8221; that I haven&#8217;t experienced with other Kit Kat products.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Celebrating its 85th anniversary of production this year, Kit Kat has experienced a recent renaissance, with the release of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/12\/02\/kit-kat-duos-mint-dark-chocolate-review\/\">Duos<\/a> line and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/01\/28\/kit-kat-lemon-crisp-review\/\">lemon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/12\/30\/raspberry-creme-kit-kat-review\/\">raspberry<\/a> seasonal varieties &#8212; all of which I have really enjoyed. With more flavors rumored for release this year, Kit Kat is proving an old dog can learn new tricks. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Birthday Cake Kit Kat executes a familiar flavor perfectly and enhances both texture and flavor with rainbow sprinkles. Kit Kat fans and frosting fiends will celebrate having another reason to visit the candy aisle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> 88 cents <br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 1.5 oz (42 g)<br \/> <br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Walmart<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 220 calories, 12 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 35 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 20 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Birthday Cake Kit Kat?
