It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of desserts. Just a quick look through my archives will show you how frequently I bake some desserty treat. So when I was approached with the opportunity to review a cake from Bake Me A Wish!, how could I say no? And this wasn’t just any cake – it’s a Triple Chocolate Enrobed Cake. Have you ever heard of anything more delicious?
Bake Me A Wish! is the premium nationwide service for delivery of gourmet birthday cakes. Their cakes are absolutely delicious, bound to impress and are made with only the finest, freshest ingredients by an award-winning family run New York bakery that also supplies pastries to some of Manhattan’s most elite restaurants. The packaging is lovely and very high end.
Additionally, Bake Me A Wish! supports a great cause while providing something sweet for our troops –
“Operation: Birthday Cake”
5% of any cake order goes to Bake Me A Wish!’s Operation: Birthday Cake, which, together with their partner Soldiers’ Angels donates birthday cakes each month to soldiers overseas who are having a birthday. As you can imagine it is a great morale booster to a soldier to be remembered on their birthday. Click here to see more on this sweet cause (I suggest grabbing some tissues.)
The presentation of the cake is just beautiful and would definitely impress any recipient. But the real treasure lays beyond the pretty packaging.
This is one serious cake! My husband and I decided to try it for ourselves first before sharing it with the kids. A litt unfair? Maybe…but we parents can never be too careful, right?
So we sat down and dug in to the cake. YUM! Eric, who is my number 1 taste tester and most honest reviewer, finished his piece in record time. Then he quickly asked if there was any more. As he was eating his second piece, he said “how do they make it so dense and chocolately yet so moist at the same time?” Those are his exact words. It’s a great question too, because that is exactly how this cake tasted.
Now if all of the other cakes Bake Me A Wish! offers taste as good as this one, I could be in for some serious competition in the kitchen. Here are some of their other offerings:
Aren’t you just dying to try this cake now? Well, I have some good news for you. Bake Me A Wish! has offered to send one of my readers their very own Triple Chocolate Enrobed Cake. Interested?
To enter, just leave a comment here on this post telling me which of the cakes offered by Bake Me A Wish! sounds the yummiest to you. (You can see all of their cakes here.) I’ll select the winner on Friday, July 10 at 10:00pm EST.

First off, I just discovered your blog a few days ago and I’m in love! I cook during stolen moments too, with a young toddler running around the house. So this blog is perfect for me!
I think I would love any of the brownie cakes or the coconut cream cake. not sure if I’ll win since I’m one of the first to comment, but i hope I do!!

Wow – that Triple Chocolate Enrobed cake looks hard to beat. Mmmm… I’d love to try it!!
July 2nd, 2009 @ 10:56 pm
Wow, how do you pick just one favourite!!?? Ummmm…. the Peanut Butter Mousse Cake seems to be calling out to me. It would have to be accompanied by a really big glass of cold milk!!
What a wonderful idea to send birthday cakes to troops

Love your blog… I’m thinking that Red Velvet Cake looks so DIVINE!! It sure sucks that they have to charge extra shipping for Hawaii…
July 3rd, 2009 @ 1:51 am
I would have to say the Chocolate Mousse or the Triple Chocolate. Or the Boston Cream. Or the Apple Crumb. I can’t choose!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 2:35 am
carrot cake looks good to me.
July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:00 am
Basically, where is my piece!? That looks delicious and of really high quality.

July 3rd, 2009 @ 9:11 am
Oh my word! These look so yummy! While I love red velvet and carrot cake, I would have to say the one that most grabbed my attention was the peanut butter mousse cake! Oh, I hope I win!!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 9:25 am
I think the Boston Creme sounds wonderful, but the chocolate enrobed cake would make the perfect birthday gift for my wonderful mother-in-law.
July 3rd, 2009 @ 9:41 am

The Chocoholic in me is SCREAMING!!!!
I would choose the
Chocolate Mousse Torte Cake
Two chocolate layers filled with luscious chocolate whipped cream mousse, then covered with milk chocolate frosting and a dark chocolate glaze. Garnished with fudge rosettes and dark chocolate shaves.

Gourmet delivered cakes is such an amazing business idea! I’ve never tried red velvet cake so I’ll pick that.
July 3rd, 2009 @ 11:30 am
Mmmm they look great…anything with peanut butter in the name though…
July 3rd, 2009 @ 1:43 pm
Ohh cake!!
Not sure I’d be willing to share the Chocolate Mousse Torte Cake, but suppose my husband and 18mo would drool all over if they did not get at least a bite!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 2:36 pm
Oooh, I’m all about that coconut cream cake – extra yummy!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 2:55 pm
Kate, what a lovely giveaway. (It puts the giveaway I am offering today far into the shade!).
Anyway, Operation Birthday Cake sounds wonderful – what a simple but important thing.
These cakes look fabulous but the Magic Bar Brownie Cake has so many yumbly things in it, I’m not sure how I’ll now survive until lunchtime!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 3:50 pm
It’s a close one…the carrot cakes looks good, but I’ve really been craving a good chocolate cake with this pregnancy, so I am going with the triple chocolate enrobed!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:00 pm
Oh. My. Gosh. These all look drool-worthy. Hard to pick a favorite from their site, but that peanut-butter with chocolate one looks awfully good, as does that triple chocolate. YUM. Pick me, pick me!
July 3rd, 2009 @ 5:00 pm
I’m pretty sure its the Triple Chocolate enrobed brownie cake! ummmmm??? Yes! That’s the one!
What an incredible giveaway! Have a wonderful weekend!

July 3rd, 2009 @ 7:03 pm
I think the Tiramisu Classico Cake looks like a bite of heavan. Great giveaway thanks.
July 3rd, 2009 @ 7:05 pm
I am torn between the Vanilla Bean and the Triple Chocolate. This would make a nice treat since my birthday is in 5 days.
July 3rd, 2009 @ 7:06 pm
I am always a sucker for Red Velvetn
July 3rd, 2009 @ 7:57 pm
All of this is wonderful – the cake, the bake a wish, operation birthday cake – the soldiers’ Angels – very, very nice. I will definitely support them, and how lucky you got to taste taste and review! That cake looks dangerouuuuuuuuuus.

The chocolate mouse torte looks great.
Thanks for the giveaway!
July 5th, 2009 @ 11:19 am
the triple chocolate looks divine!
I just discovered your blog and I’m having fun checking out your recipes.
I’m a military wife and I love that they send birthday wishes to soldiers who are over there giving of their time and effort for our freedom. I have friends in Iraq now (luckily my husband is home for a while, he’s spent more time that I care to count over there)I may have to order a cake for them to share. It would be a much welcome treat.
July 5th, 2009 @ 1:15 pm
The triple chocolate would definitely be my first pick, followed closely by the peanut butter/chocolate and the coconut. Very hard to pick, they all look delicious.
July 5th, 2009 @ 4:43 pm
The Tiramisu Classico Cake sounds amazing!

After a long day with seven kids and cooking for
several with multiple food allergies I’m ready for a piece of almost any cake at the end of the day.
Today I would pick the vanilla.
July 5th, 2009 @ 11:07 pm
Hooked on Houses got me hooked on your website. I really shouldn’t, but I’d dig into a slice of red velvet in a heartbeat!
July 6th, 2009 @ 12:15 am
The S’more Brownie Cake!!
July 6th, 2009 @ 8:30 am
I’m torn b/w the carrot cake, red velvet cake and Boston Creme cake… I want one of each. Or better yet, is there a sampler cake???

There can never be too much chocolate. The triple chocolate cake is calling my name.
July 6th, 2009 @ 8:39 pm
To say I love chocolate is an understatement! This cake looks so delicious…yummy.

July 6th, 2009 @ 9:26 pm
These cakes look AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to send one to someone special! I would *love* to try the S’more Brownie Cake. My mouth is watering!
July 6th, 2009 @ 9:41 pm
I love Boston Cream Pie, so that one looks great to me. But I don’t know if you can beat that Chocolate cake!!!
July 7th, 2009 @ 12:23 am
Oh. My. Word. Yum!!! I looked at all the cakes they have there, but the one that looks the best is the one you got to try. The triple chocolate deliciousness. I will cross my fingers that I’ll win that one. Yum, yum, yum!!!!!!!
July 7th, 2009 @ 11:32 pm
They all look so wonderful and yummy! Would love to try the chocolate mousse torte cake.
July 8th, 2009 @ 5:28 pm
Amazing blog–I found it just the other day, and I’m hooked. With your love of (and disappointment with) Taco Bell and cravings for foods “buffaloed,” you’re a woman after my own heart. Mexican Pizza and Buffalo Pasta will be in my menu plan soon–and I hope the triple chocolate cake will be, too!
One suggestion: my (former) passion at Taco Bell was the Beef Meximelts. When I was in high school, they were $.49! My best friend and I used to buy six for lunch. Last time I tried them (years and years ago!), they were really skimpy and more than a dollar apiece. I would love to re-create them, but I’m more of a recipe follower than a recipe creator. Please consider developing a Meximelt knockoff.
Thanks!
July 8th, 2009 @ 5:48 pm
I believe I am actually drooling after looking at the yummy cake choices! My choice would have to be the vanilla bean cake.
July 9th, 2009 @ 4:22 pm
Yummy! How ’bout that Red Velvet cake? Or the Vanilla bean? Maybe the coconut? As we have 3 June bdays and 3 April bdays,I may get the opportunity to try 6 different cakes during those 2 months!
