GOOD REVIEWS
“We really like them”
“Don’t be naive like me 
. I was REALLY hoping these were all hype, but unfortunately, they’re absolutely delicious 
and now I’m going to eat Carmel apple cakes for dinner 
.”
“I like them (after removing the white frosting) and microwave 15 seconds ~ it’s like a soft apple pie! 
“
“Buttery delicious. Shared one cake with 4 people and it was perfect.”
“Everyone in my house loves them”
“They are excellent”
“My family loves them! Daughter said these are the best tasting ones from Costco!”
“Love love love! “
“Super yummy. Me and family really liked them. Very moist!”
“They are delicious!”
“You will not be disappointed on those mini cakes!”
‘Just finished eating one. I enjoyed it. Wasn’t sure if I’d like it after reading all the varied reviews but it was good. Not overly sweet, apples had good flavor & the right amount of cinnamon & caramel on top. Frosting had good flavor too no after taste I’m really picky about frosting it wasn’t to sweet either.”
“I thought they were pretty good. I think the sweetness level is on direct proportion to the amount of caramel.”
“I liked them”
“Got them today and Omgosh freakin yum!!!! Can’t believe bad reviews? Not dry at all mine were moist and delicious . My husband is not a fan of sweets in general and he liked them”
‘They are delicious!
“
“It was sooooo good! We finished 3 cakes last night 
and already on our 3rd pumpkin pie 
“
“I like them. Everybody has a different opinion on everything. It all depends on your personal taste. I always try something at least once if it looks good. If I don’t like it, I won’t buy it again. Personally these are delicious to me. I hope you enjoy them if you buy them.”
We’re working on our second package. 
We like them at room temperature, but discovered that if you remove the paper, place them in a bowl or on a small plate, microwave for about 40-seconds, then top with a scoop of Kirkland vanilla ice cream & a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, they’re amazeballs!”
“They are so good!! So moist!”
‘I had just picked these bad boys up yesterday,,, they are delicious. Not embarrassed to say I had 1 & 1/2 after dinner and 1 this morning for breakfast 
“
“I bought these yesterday, they’re delicious. A great combination of flavors.”
‘They’re so good!!”
“I loved them. Cake was moist and Carmel and filling very good. I also loved the raspberry ones, but lemon I didn’t care for. There’re too big, so I cut them in half and freeze some.”
‘I like them. They have a subtle sweetness like a Mexican sweet cake that I like. The frosting is a milk frosting and is very subtle. I think with just a little more spice and possibly some apples in the cake they would be fantastic.”
BAD REVIEWS
“I was very disappointed in these they were gross 
“
“Not good. No one is eating them. Epic fail”
“Just got these tonight because I love trying the new cupcake flavors aaaaannnnndddd….I was not impressed overall 6.5/10. The cake is a white cake mix with a caramel flavoring added (per Costco bakery employee making them while I was there). My faves are: the raspberry, the red velvet, and the carrot cake cupcakes in no particular order.”
“They are horrible! Nothing about them tastes like caramel or apple. This will be the first food item I’ve ever returned!”
“I bought them and tried them last night and was disappointed. I did not like them at all. I am probably the minority.”
“Wasn’t a fan of these at all”
“I bought them yesterday. I did not like them. Kind of tasted like a weak spice and fake caramel flavored cake. The best part was the apples on top. And trust me, there’s not a lot of desserts I don’t like! But, I’m sure other people will like them. Enjoy!!”
“Very strange taste in the frosting. Definitely a flavor/spice we didn’t enjoy. It’s the first time I’ve ever returned one of their bakery items.”
“They were waaaay too sweet. I only ate 1/2 of one then tossed the rest”
“They looked amazing but were nasty in my opinion. I am a cake girl but couldn’t do these.”
“So we bought these today at our Costco and we were disappointed it’s a spice cake very little Carmel and the icing is like a crisco texture. I know they baked them fresh today.”
“Ew not a fan”
“Tried one the other day.. they actually look better than they taste. Hubs & I shared 1 mini cake & agreed it tasted like typical apple spice cake & the frosting was ok but not exceptional. Not a fan of the canned apple on top.”
It looked so good, I guess we just wanted to be wowed. (Ps, my hubs said it gave him “bad” heartburn)”
“Didn’t care for them either. No idea what the frosting is supposed to be as it had no flavor. The cake itself was pretty dry.”
“Tasteless sponge, pie filling tastes artificial”
“Either you love em, or dislike em. I’m not a fan. (And I LOVE Costco baked goods. Disappointed in the cake and frosting flavors)”
“Horrible!”
“I didn’t like the cakes at all. Was weird all around. I’m glad because the combo of caramel and apples would be dangerous for me!’
“we got the mini cakes in San Antonio, Tx. They are not at all what I was expecting. The cake was dry…not enough frosting…not enough apple taste. I am glad I didnt like these.”
“Not great…threw them out”
“I did not care for them. To me they had a strange, weird aftertaste. I really wanted to like them, I’m disappointed.”
“Yuck”
“Don’t waste your money, not good”
“These aren’t worth the hype IMO, and I won’t buy them again. The cake was decent enough, but the frosting was like a flavorless Cool Whip with Crisco-stick like consistency. The caramel drizzle and apple topping was decent.”
“I give them 2 out of ten stars. They are more like a dried out over sized muffin than a small cake. The apples taste like they came out of a can and there is too much frosting as well. I had really high hopes for these but next time I’ll pass”
“Definitely not a fan!”
“This product is just ‘meh’ I like spice cake when it’s frosted with the traditional cream cheese icing. This has a sweetened condensed milk buttercream frosting (aka, ‘Russian’ buttercream).
‘We didn’t care for them. Our cake unfortunately tasted like cardboard”
“Yea, not good at all!”
Simpler to make but lacks the texture needed for a spice cake. Disappointing.”
“First of all that’s not mini in any sense of the word. Secondly, the cake and the frosting were okay but I did not like the apple filling it tasted chemically to me.”
“Not a fan. Ate half of one and gave the rest away.”
“I did not like them. Cake seemed bland, frosting is just a plain buttercream it overpowered the cake, and the apple you see on top is the only apple flavor you’ll get and it tasted weird. 1 out of 10 stars for me. Not worth the money. Buy a pie or cookies instead.”
“I eat a small piece and didn’t like them. Chemical taste and dry muffin. Skip them”
