Mini of the Month: December

With a name like Snowstorm...especially given the incredibly warm winter so far...I was expecting a real treat from this month's mini.  And I always love those marshmallow toppings so my hopes were high for this one!

Unfortunately, there was just too much sugar going on for me to really enjoy it the way I had envisioned.  The white vanilla cake with vanilla icing and nutella stuffing worked, but the white sugar topping was a bit too much - though I did love the mini marshmallow topping!

Do you like nutella?  What about sugar sprinkles?

Mini of the Month: November

I was so excited to discover the November Mini would be Caramel Apple Pie.  Sounds delicious!!  And it's definitely the right time of year for pie...yum!!

This mini was SO good!!  The yellow cake is filled with apple pie stuffing and frosted with caramel cream cheese icing before being topped with cinnamon streusel and cinnamon.  The absolute perfect blend of caramel and apple.  Simply wonderful!

Are you a fan of pie?  What is your favorite kind?

Mini of the Month: October

Pumpkin Spice everything is all the rage for fall.  This year, Baked by Melissa jumped on board with a pumpkin spice mini.

This tasty mini has all the right stuff!  The pumpkin bread is off-set with vanilla icing and filled with pumpkin spice!  To top it off, the mini features a pumpkin and sprinkle brittle.  Simply delicious!  The Pumpkin Spice mini has the perfect blend of pumpkin without being overpowering.  Definitely enjoyed this yummy treat!

What is your favorite pumpkin flavored food?

Mini of the Month: September

Literally translated, Dulce de Leche means sweet [made] of milk.  Think along the lines of evaporated milk turned into candy form.  I wasn't sure what to expect of this unique creation for the mini this month.

It was Dulce de Leche all around.  The white vanilla cake boasted Dulce de Leche icing, stuffing, and topping.  Definitely making for a super sweet treat!!  After tasting, I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either.  I am certainly into sweet, but I think this mini could have used a bit more balance with the sweetness.  Especially since it wasn't a familiar sweetness.  It wasn't all bad though.

Have you ever tried a Dulce de Leche treat?
