Sponge Cake

This sponge cake I got from a friend was a nice change to the sweet cakes I’ve been having lately.

It reminds me of the cakes back home that I usually have on my birthday —– soft, light, airy.

Perfect with coffee or tea! Yum!

Jos. Louis

Jos. Louis is a Vachon cake and one of Canada’s beloved snacks. It’s a tasty treat consisting of two round chocolatey sponge cake with vanilla-flavored cream filling sandwiched between.

Interestingly, Jos. Louis was named after the sons of the founder-bakers Arcade and Rose-Anna Vachon —– Joseph and Louis.

Swiss Roll

The Swiss roll’s packaging was different from that of the mixed fruit jam and cocoa cream, so I thought the cake must be special. It must be better and more delicious. Dark chocolate flakes and milk-cocoa cream —– mmm, heavenly!

Not! Disappointingly, it had the same dry texture and alcohol aftertaste.

Cocoa Cream Cake

Although this cocoa cream cake tasted better than the mixed fruit jam one, it had the same dry texture and aftertaste of alcohol.

Mixed Fruit Jam Cake

I was attracted by the bright packaging and the words on it —– mixed fruit jam, delicious Italian cake, product of Italy. Sounds yummy. Must be yummy! Was it? Nah, it was too sweet, a bit dry, and had the aftertaste of alcohol (though no alcohol was included in the ingredients).
