Peeps Party Cake

Cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake,
 cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake...

 
I danced around my room and sang Birthday Cake immediately after tearing open the new Peeps Party Cake flavored marshmallows for one reason and one reason only: it felt right. Peeps delivers another solid new flavor with Party Cake and they are as delicious as any other Peep flavor out there. Classic Peeps are still a favorite candy of mine and the brand has come a long way in my lifetime, growing from an Easter specialty to a candy for all holidays. A coworker of mine informed me about a ginger bread flavor, a flavor I missed, but her enthusiasm showed me that Peeps had also succeeded with that new offering as well.

Texture and taste are the keys to Peeps. True candy aficionados reading that will instantly think about the Peep texture, a mouthful of marshmallow coated in fine, colored sugar. These aficionados might also think about a Peep that has been out of the package for a day and growing hint of staleness that crisps the sugary outside a fraction while keeping the marshmallow fluffy inside. But I digress. The Party Cake peeps are an instant classic. They taste like cake without an overload of frosting. They are something different and a must try. Peeps just hit me with a Party Cake bomb I want to bite and it's not even my birthday.

...it's not even my birthday.
