King Cake Review and GIVEAWAY: Whole Foods Market

So when I approached Whole Foods about a King Cake Review, I didn't know what to expect - to be honest, I didn't even know they made king cakes until I researched a bit!

But WOW! Was I blown away by the flavors alone:

Cinnamon

Praline

Cream Cheese

Chocolate

Raspberry Cream Cheese

and CHANTILLY!

If you have had a Chantilly cake from Whole Foods before, you know why I put that one in caps...I mean take Chantilly Cake (berries and chantilly icing) and add King Cake - a whole new world opened up for me!

Let's talk PRICE - ALL flavors (stuffed or regular cinnamon) are VERY Reasonable priced at $12.99 for a whole king cake...OR you can buy it by the slice ($2.49 each) so you have the chance to try EACH FLAVOR!

Let's Talk TASTE - I got to try the Cinnamon and Chantilly flavors and BOTH were melt in your mouth amazing!  And they might just be a bit healthier for you - All Natural and Preservative Free - but that does not effect the taste at all!  The Cinnamon tasted like a homemade cinnamon roll!  The Chantilly - well I think you get my love for the Chantilly already - and nowhere else can you get this flavor!

Cinnamon flavor!

Berry Chantilly flavor!

As a side note, the king cake baby is also phthalate-free plastic (I wouldn't expect anything less from Whole Foods!)

And the next morning, I popped a slice (of each!) in the microwave for 30 seconds and it tasted just as FRESH as when I first got home!

If you haven't been to Whole Foods in awhile, I encourage you to stop in soon - and grab a king cake or two while you are there!  Whole Foods truly has created an EXPERIENCE for you while grocery shopping.  I went to the Veterans location during the Saints game on Saturday and the store was PACKED - there were people watching the game in the dining area - there was a cooking demonstration going on - the store was buzzing!  I encourage you to stop by the chair massage area near the exit doors as well - I told you, it is an experience!
