Bakers Krate Review May 2016 – Even though I don’t eat baked goods, I still look forward to this box. I have been known to “cheat” from time to time so I can honestly say we receive some really yummy treats in this box. However, my poor little vegan body just doesn’t do well with sugar so I have recruited a taste tester this time around, and I’m really interested to see what they think of Bakers Krate.

Bakers Krate got a makeover this month, and it looks really nice. Their box is a bit smaller, white instead of kraft, and has a black logo. I noticed that they don’t include the fork on the inside of the box lid anymore, which is just a small little detail, and the baked goods no longer have their own little compartment within the box. It does look very clean and pretty though.
Caked With Love Oreo Brownie – First off I have to say how much I love this packaging. The marketer in me definitely approves. And my taste tester approves of the treat inside the packaging, he said that it’s not super heavy like some brownies tend to be.
Caked With Love Nutella Brownie – This smelled amazing as soon as we opened the bag. It has the perfect amount of Nutella, and it’s not overpowering.
Desserts Plus Matcha Melting Moments – I thought for sure my taste tester would hate these but he actually kind of liked them. He said they were a lot different than he thought, and actually coaxed me in to trying them. We both thought they would be soft and doughy, but they actually have a bit of a crisp to them, and they taste AMAZING!
Fresh out of the Oven! Blueberry Pastry Twists – This was good, flaky and had nice flavour. I wanted to have this with my coffee but I refrained.
Relax and Enjoy! Assorted Premium Shortbread – I LOVE that we received an assortment of shortbread, it made me think of Christmas. We tried the brown one first but my taste tester couldn’t tell what flavour it was. He was a little skeptical of the green one but said it tasted like shortbread….go figure.
Thoughts: I had so much fun with this month’s box. My taste tester and I sat down with our coffee (it’s 8:30am) and I watched as he tried each treat. He told me it was too early to eat baked goods but I said it’s never too early to eat baked goods. I’m really glad he got me to try the Melting Moments because they were by far the best goodie in the box, I definitely want to see more of these in the future. I am always impressed with the quality of baked goods we receive in Bakers Krate and I LOVE receiving them in the mail every 30 days…….coffee and brownies for breakfast…..it doesn’t get much better than that.
XOXO
