A quick write up so I can get this review posted while the S'mores Cake is still available at Crumbl this week (through Saturday, they're closed on Sundays).
I usually enjoy the new cakes Crumbl has been releasing and always want to try them. I typically stay away from anything s'mores though since I don't care for marshmallows; they're often too sweet and too sticky/rubbery for me.
But I decided to try this one and see. I wanted to like this cake, I really did. But it was just okay, at best. At worst, I didn't like that top layer of frosting at all. It was solid, probably due to the marshmallow in it setting to a solid state. After a couple of bites, I removed the frosting. Only instead of scraping it off like with a cream cheese frosting or a buttercream, the whole top came off in one piece. That's how solid it was. Yeah, not for me.
It's served at room temperature but I liked it much better after I took the top off and popped it in the microwave for 15 seconds. The cakes were softer as was the frosting and ganache in the middle. Much more enjoyable. So overall: glad I tried it for myself, was good enough to taste test but not something I'd get again. Flavor wise, it didn't stand out either other than as a nice chocolate cake and a nice vanilla cake.
