[Ice Cream Injected] ShotCakes Review

oneOh — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:23:16 +0000

ShotCakes is a Food Source 3.0 restaurant offering up ice cream injected cupcakes at moderate prices. Located deep in Massachusetts, at the Burlington mall Food Court.

This reviewer was not intimidated by the heavy set people waiting in line to order this mall delicacy. Luckily by the time I made it to the front of the line, there were still a few ShotCakes available. Most of the time, when the over-weight crowd doesn’t get there before you do, there is a large variety of ShotCakes to be eaten, such as the Red Velvet ShotCake or the Golden ShotCake.

A ShotCake client can order any regular cupcake and get it INJECTED with ice cream (Vanilla or Chocolate), which transforms the regular cupcake into a ShotCake.

When I got to the counter, there was one Tiramisu cupcake available, just sitting there begging to be injected with ice cold cream. I said, ‘Gimme the Tiramisu cupcake and inject it with vanilla.’ The woman behind the counter said, ‘you. got. it’, and complied with my demand. She then demanded $3 and some change… close to $4 bucks. Being a Foodenator.com reviewer, I am well off… very well off… so I reached into my expensive alligator wallet and pulled out some cash. It took approx. 1 minute to find some ones amid my twenties, fifties, and tens. She accepted my money and I was off to the other end of the counter to pick up the mall delicacy.

After a less than a minute wait time, I had my ShotCake in my right hand, my spoon in my left, and also a napkin in the right hand as well. I could sense the Cupcake was cold, and the ice cream was saying ‘I am in you’ to the cupcake. Found a table really close by to devour the ShotCake…

Tiramisu ShotCake is not as light as a regular tasty tiramisu cake, but it had a good taste. The tiramisu and its vanilla ice cream companion combination was outstanding… it was almost like… eating cake with a scoop of ice cream. Unusual, but true, I ate the entire ShotCake, and enjoyed doing so. I was tempted to get another, but I held back since the line was filled with people having difficulties making up their mind.

I recommend the ShotCake experience.

[Ice Cream on a Stick] Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Bar #icecream

oneOh — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:54:33 +0000

It’s Thursday, you know what that means. The ice cream truck arrived on time. 2pm. Most everyone at foodenator was especially pumped. The weather sucked though. A quarter of Foodenator staff doesn’t have a sweet tooth. The ice cream truck was out of WWF ice cream bars, Foodenator got its second choice, the Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Bar. How did it fare in the mouth of Foodenator? Foodenator finds out

The bar itself was double packaged. Boxed then wrapped. Ben, Jerry,… your not fooling anyone. Your ice cream bars are in the same league as all other ice cream in the ice cream truck. For Foodenator, its just annoying to open two packages. Your ice cream isn’t special enough to require double packaging. Cherry Garcia is a decent flavor on the flavor spectrum. The chocolate used to coat the cherry garcia is awful and tastes very budget.

[Might be Ice Cream] Good Humor Premium Fudge Bar

oneOh — Mon, 11 May 2009 20:40:43 +0000

It certainly doesn’t look premium. Tastewise, it doesn’t taste premium. What exactly is the Premium Fudge Bar? Foodenator gets to the bottom

One might think this product would be ice cream, since, after all, it was picked up in the ice cream section. But its not. Good Humor has successfully masked this mystery dessert as an unassuming ice cream bar. To Foodenator’s suprise, the Fudge Bar tasted nothing like ice cream.

Picture this: A cup of water, 1/4 packet of hot chocolate mix added to the cup of water, stirred gently, add one wooden stick to mixture so the end of stick is above water level, Freeze for 1 day. Result: Good Humor Premium Fudge Bar.
