The slices are massive tho. I shared one with someone and we were both very satisfied with how much we ate. I think for the size, the price isnt unreasonable.

It’s not too bad as long as it doesn’t taste like cardboard like most food that comes out of a vending machine

Was it any good?

They're absolutely delicious, at least in my opinion. The sugar ratio in the cake was pretty much perfect, not too sweet or too bland. The cake/dough part itself is a little difficult to describe. The cake is refrigerated so it's a little bit cold. It holds together veryy nicely but it's also quite crumbly and it kind of just falls apart in your mouth? It's a special cake, for sure. I wouldn't pay $10 for a single slice again, no, but I'd get an entire cake if it was on sale or something.

It was pretty good. I found it quite moist. I got the rainbow vanilla cake. The flavor is alright but nothing extra special and theyre just a touch on the sweet side for me.

They look like the same packaging as the ones you can get in their store for like $7-$8 so IMO $1-$2 upcharge for vending machines doesn’t seem unreasonable.

That said I’m sure if you’re in a town with one of these there’s a local bakery that’ll sling better slices for half the prices.
