A Duncan Hines yellow cake with chocolate frosting is one of my guilty pleasures and provides an ultimate nostalgia trip of when I was 6.<br /><br />That's what I was expecting, and it failed to deliver.<br /><br />I know you say you don't like cake ice creams because they're too sweet, so would you be willing to review Halo Top's Birhday cake ice cream?<br /><br />Even though it's reduced calorie, it's the best representation of cake batter without overwhelming sweetness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-86806263091699568362017-06-20T08:56:22.140-04:002017-06-20T08:56:22.140-04:00You are probably thinking of "Cake Batter&quo...You are probably thinking of "Cake Batter" which was recently retired<br />http://www.onsecondscoop.com/2013/07/ben-jerrys-cake-batter-ice-cream.htmlDubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-69233994905738977722017-06-20T00:52:48.196-04:002017-06-20T00:52:48.196-04:00I love Boston Cream Pie---specifically Kroger'...I love Boston Cream Pie---specifically Kroger's version of it. I love Ben and Jerry's, and am a MAJOR fan of cake batter ice creams, when done right.<br /><br />But imo, Ben and Jerry's doesn't do (vanilla) cake bases right and this was a prime example of that. I also didn't like Cake My Day either.<br /><br />And I don't remember what is was called but they had a yellow cake flavor with an actual chocolate frosting swirl and I STILL didn't like it.<br /><br />It's like they use cheap off-brand pound cake as the inspiration for these flavors, instead of their own unique recipe like with those glorious chocolate cookies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-72680128358779911722012-09-01T18:48:58.192-04:002012-09-01T18:48:58.192-04:00My mom just bought this and I LOVE IT!!!!!

Sorry, I'm a kid. <br /><br />But anyway, I really really love this flavor! My favorite part is the yellow cake chunks. I tried to eat around them so I could safe the best part for last.

Although I liked it (it is hard to find a Ben and Jerry's flavor I don't like), it didn't really taste like Boston Cream Pie. I read all these reviews about how there weren't enough chocolate flakes but I disagree, because there shouldn't have been flakes at all. This should have had a FUDGE RIBBON - more similar to the frosting of the cake. Duh, Boston cream pie doesn't have chips of any kind!!!!!!! Won't buy again.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152752626517853649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-83641917194031047642010-05-13T01:00:57.503-04:002010-05-13T01:00:57.503-04:00I'm a huge fan of banana cream pie and I loved...I'm a huge fan of banana cream pie and I loved the ice cream.
