Nilla Cakesters: Strawberry Creme

Nabisco keeps rolling out new varieties of their “Cakester” brand.  And the surprising thing is, they just keep getting better and better.

I was on a mixer run with The Instigator when I spotted them.  It was too late to make a purchase, but I knew I’d be back soon.  The brilliant red caught my eye and I quickly read the box.  And then read it again.  My eyes weren’t deceiving me.  There were now Nilla Cakesters with red filling.  It was such a fleeting glimpse, like two lovers at a Rush show, trying to focus on each other through the thick fog of dope smoke.  I couldn’t tell if Nabisco had just added some red food coloring or if they were a different flavor.  Obviously, from the title of this post, they were a different flavor.

But would they be as good?  One of the things that I really liked about the original Nilla Cakesters was the fact that they really did taste like Nilla Wafers.  Unless I missed some major shit, Nabisco had never put out Strawberry Nilla Wafers.  This was something new.  Something . . . beautiful.

Mouth watering.

They are exactly what you would think they are.  The Nilla Cakester cakes with strawberry-flavored filling instead of vanilla.  While the vanilla-filled cakes really do taste exactly like Nilla Wafers, the strawberry filling makes this version taste like a mini-Strawberry Shortcake.  Mmmm.  This is great.

Proof of God?

In closing, I don’t like you if you don’t love these.  I don’t want to know that there are people capable of such things in this world.
