\"Oreo<\/p>\n

Winter can be a dreary time of year, and everyone could use a little more to celebrate; maybe that\u2019s why so many brands have been debuting confetti-flavored snacks recently. It seems like every time I blink, a new novelty Oreo has been released, so of course, the beloved brand\u2019s take on the trend couldn\u2019t be far behind. But its new Confetti Cake offering isn\u2019t a regular cookie, it\u2019s a Cakester: the spin-off treat that retains the iconic \u201csandwich\u201d concept but swaps out cookies for cakes and the traditional cr\u00e8me for a fluffier layer more akin to frosting.<\/p>\n

\"Oreo<\/p>\n

Perhaps I have been conditioned to associate packaged sweets with \u201ccake\u201d in the name with Hostess Cupcakes\u2014or perhaps I was just bamboozled by the enticingly ginormous picture on the box and missed the conveniently tiny \u201cenlarged to show detail\u201d disclaimer\u2014but even though I\u2019ve had Oreo Cakesters before, I was expecting these to be larger. They\u2019re about the circumference of a standard Oreo, but each Cakester is plumper and more substantial than the flat cookies, so they\u2019re not too tiny.<\/p>\n

\"Oreo<\/p>\n

\"Oreo<\/p>\n

Classic confetti cake is a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles, so those flavors are replicated here. All the vanilla gives the Cakesters a strong aroma that overwhelmed me as soon as I opened a pack; unsurprisingly, they tasted very strongly of vanilla and were very sweet. They\u2019re in the \u201csoft baked\u201d style, and while that gives them a consistently smooth texture, I find it often comes with a vaguely synthetic aftertaste as well (though that seemed less noticeable with these than in the standard Golden Oreo Cakesters). The cake is so dense that when I bit in, it didn\u2019t leave any crumbs. In fact, my mouthful was pretty dry, so it\u2019s a good thing that the generously applied filling, which oozes over the edges in its abundance, added some much-needed creaminess.<\/p>\n

\"Oreo<\/p>\n

According to the package, the filling is \u201cbirthday cake flavor cr\u00e8me,\u201d but visually it just looks like vanilla. I really can\u2019t find a more precise word for the flavor than the one I already used: sweet, sweet, sweet! Sure, that could describe \u201cbirthday cake flavor,\u201d but it could also describe\u2026 vanilla. Maybe it\u2019s just dramatic marketing language? That would fit in well with the rest of the box, which proudly proclaims, \u201cCAKE MEETS OREO\u2026 IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST BITE\u201d. Alleged cr\u00e8me flavor and loud, all-caps declarations aside, the only other way these were visibly different from the Golden Oreo Cakesters was the rainbow sprinkles. They didn\u2019t have much taste, but they excelled at what I assume to be their main jobs: a) creating a nice crunch and b) looking pretty and fun.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, though, while they are visually cute and taste alright, I found Oreo Cakesters Confetti Cake to be a little lackluster. They made me crave either freshly baked cake or a basic Oreo, and unfortunately, their in-between nature didn\u2019t fully satisfy either desire (even though the box declares \u201cHAVE YOUR CAKE AND COOKIE, TOO\u201d). They\u2019re worth a shot if you can find them, but despite their festive name, don\u2019t expect them to be the life of your party.<\/p>\n
