Bake Me a Wish! Cake Review & Giveaway



One great way to help celebrate any special occasion is cake! That's why I love Bake Me a Wish! They believe there's still a part of us all with that child inside...you know the one...bursting with excitement as the birthday cake was carried into the room?! It is their goal to help recreate that excitement and experience for friends, coworkers, or loved ones by providing a premium nationwide service for delivery of gourmet birthday cakes. Their cakes can be sent overnight across the US and are guaranteed to arrive on time!

Bake Me a Wish! prides themselves on offering cakes made with only the finest, freshest ingredients at affordable prices. Now, no matter who it is celebrating their special day...it's easier than ever to let them know you're thinking of them.

When I first came across the Bake Me a Wish! site, I couldn't help but drool over their amazing selection of delicious looking cakes! Whether you're more of a strawberry shortcake type of person or all about the chocolate...they have it all! That's why I was excited to learn that we were going to have the opportunity to review their Chocolate Truffle Lava Cakes!

Our sinfully delectable Chocolate Truffle Lava Cakes arrive in packs of 4 and are ready to go into the oven or microwave upon arrival. After heating, each cake is a single-serve masterpiece with warm, thick chocolate cake, powdered sugar and a surprise inside - rich, liquid chocolate flows out of the middle for a taste experience beyond compare.

When the package arrived, I was very impressed with the way they were boxed to ensure freshness. Much care is taken to make sure that you receive your cake ready to eat which is greatly appreciated and something that should help put your mind at ease when ordering from them.

Aside from being impressed with their packaging, I was very curious how well I would like the cake it self. The pictures look delicious, but would it really be that good?! The answer is a YES! These dessert cakes did not last long in our household...they were unbelievably good and gone within a day! So moist and fresh. I think my favorite part was the rich, liquid chocolate in the middle. I love chocolate and found these truffle lava cakes to exceed any expectations I had.

I am very happy to have been introduced to Bake Me a Wish! My Hubby has a birthday coming up soon and I know he'd absolutely love the Cookies and Cream Cake.

I not only love their cakes, but also the fact that 5% of your order is contributed to Bake Me A Wish!’s Operation: Birthday Cake, which helps make it possible to donate birthday cakes each month to service men and women overseas.

Buy It: The Chocolate Truffle Lava Cakes can be purchased on the Bake Me a Wish! website for $39.95.

Win It: Thanks to Bake Me a Wish!, one lucky reader is going to win a BMAW cake of any of their Brownie flavors!
