In 1789, a notorious French monarch once famously declared: “Let them eat cake!”
In 2022, an unknown cookie blogger shouts to no one…
“Let them eat Cakesters!”
It’s been at least a full decade since you last laid your grubby little paws on Oreo Cakesters. These soft-baked treats were born in 2007 and were essentially the Oreo version of a whoopie pie. They were a significant departure from the iconic crunchy cookie we all know and love, and apparently we didn’t know how to feel about it because Oreo Cakesters were discontinued after just five years.
But, like everything else, distance makes the heart grow fatter (or something like that), so enough people complained on Twitter until Nabisco brought Oreo Cakesters back!
And that’s not all – they brought a friend! New Nutter Butter Cakesters!
Today’s review is part of a series. Today’s “Cakester” review is:
Nabisco Oreo Cakesters
Notice I said that it’s been ten years since you had Oreo Cakesters? That’s because I have a dirty, dirty confession: I don’t think I ever tried the original Oreo Cakesters. In a worse scenario, I may have tried them once and found them so unforgettable that I literally can’t remember it.
So what do I think of them now?
Admittedly, I think they look like loads of fun. They remind me of me: just huge, bloated sacks of fat with a mid-section that just bulges out the seams. The chocolate cookie-cakes are nice and pillowy and the creme nice and plentiful.
They’re even a little sweaty – just like me!
Sinking your teeth into them is an immensely satisfying experience, but I’ve got to be perfectly honest with you: I don’t see what the big deal is!
If you were craving Oreo Cakesters at any point in the last ten years, you could have just bought a Devil Dog. They taste pretty much like any pre-packaged chocolate cupcake – just without frosting on top. You do get a better ratio of creme-to-cake, but the overall flavor profile is so similar to a Drake’s Devil Dog, Hostess Ho-Ho, or Tastykake Cupcake.
I’m disappointed they don’t have any of Oreo’s deeper, darker chocolate flavor.
The nostalgia is fun, but you people wouldn’t know your ass from your elbow!
Burning Questions:
- Can you explain to me the difference between my ass and my elbow? 🤦♂️
- I’m so glad these are back! They’re nothing special!
- But they’re back!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️
