Anyone with a sweet tooth can agree that one of the greatest dessert dilemmas is portion size. It’s nearly impossible (not to mention incredibly unhealthy) to eat an entire gallon of ice cream or finish a whole cake in just one sitting. While ice cream can easily be stored in the freezer for later use, cake does not comply to the rules of refrigeration. Either left out or stored in the fridge, cake still becomes hard, stale and dry within days of being opened, and often goes to waste.
Enter Cake•This, a single-serve package of cake mixed with frosting that’s both resealable and delicious. (Chances are, you won’t even have leftovers to store — it’s that good!) Picture the insides of a cake pop, but spoonable and more portable. It's one of those things you truly have to taste to see how delicious it is. The start up is a product of a Lehigh University student and her new partner, who worked over the course of a summer entrepreneurship venture to bring the dessert into fruition. The two have a dream to deliver spoonable cake cups across campuses everywhere. In case you need more convincing, here are seven reasons why you have got to try Cake•This.
1. It has the golden ratio of cake to frosting.
You'll get the perfect bite of cake, every single time.
2. It's portable!
The resealable packaging allows you to get your sugar fix on the run.
3. There's nothing else out there like it.
Sure, you may have tried cake pops, cake in a jar or even the quintessential cupcake, but this is a whole new dessert game, and we want in.
4. It makes a great ice cream topping.
Forget cookie dough; this gives "have your cake and eat it too" a whole new meaning. Innovation, innovation, innovation.
5. It comes in multiple flavors.
Cake•This comes in all of your favorite flavors: red velvet, chocolate fudge, carrot cake and funfetti, to name a few. They also feature kids and seasonal flavors.
6. It's mess-free.
Your life is already enough of a mess. Your desserts shouldn't be.
7. You don't need a reason to eat it.
Usually cakes are saved for special occasions, but not Cake•This. Your dog's half-birthday? Definitely time for cake. Just failed your calc exam? You deserve some cake. It’s Wednesday? Treat yo' self.
Cake•This will soon be available at local stores in Bethlehem, PA, but is actively expanding to bring spoonable cake to locations near you. As the saying goes, "Let them eat cake."
