Before I get into my review on the tasty treats I received from Vintage Confections, I wanted to explain what exactly I am doing with these reviews.
I’ve been sent a few things to try out from various people/companies and after I eat, use, or look at the products, I am going to do a review on them for all of you.
I hope it will cause you to try a new treat or product, and/or give you exposure to other baby-related items on the market. Either way, I think it’ll be a lot of fun and a win-win for us both! Who doesn’t love new things?!
Heather from Vintage Confections signed up to donate some of her delicious fortune cookie birth announcements for our contest and she offered to send me some as well. As you can imagine, since being pregnant, I was highly anticipating these treats. Who doesn’t like sweets, right?!
She put together a sampler package for me including a box of the fortune cookie baby announcements, a variety of cake balls, and Neapolitan marshmallows. When I picked up the package from the post office, I wanted to rip right into the treats, but I fought the urge until I arrived home.
Everything that she sent looked delicious and Tarzan and I both could not wait to get these sweets in our mouths! We tried everything and we were not disappointed in any of it. Not only were the fortune cookies cute, complete with a Chinese container, but they tasted incredible. It would be hard to just eat one of these (we ate them by the handful really). When you open the fortune cookie, there is a little paper in the cookie that can say anything you want it to say.
Since Heather wasn’t sure at the time whether we were having a little Jane or a little Tarzan, she did a mixture of both. Some fortunes said: Baby Jane 2.14.09 and some said Baby Tarzan 2.14.09.
Can you imagine how awesome these would go over to announce the sex of your baby? I know they would be a hit and I will definitely be dropping the hint to my friends who host my baby shower!
You could use the fortune cookies at a baby shower, bridal shower, wedding, holidays, anything else you want to announce, or just because they taste good. And I really mean that.
If you order these purely because they taste awesome, I would recommend ordering more than you need, just in case your husband is like mine and eats them up before you get to have as much as you would like! Ha!
The cake balls were a hit in our house too! The sampler included: 2 red velvet, 2 chocolate peanut butter, 2 lemon, and 2 peppermint. I was most surprised by how great the peppermint cake ball was. I saved that one for last because I wasn’t too sure about it.
Boy was I wrong!
Both Tarzan and I loved all of the flavors, especially the peppermint cake ball! These didn’t last too long in our house. Like the fortune cookies, they were gobbled up very quickly and made our bellies (and lil Tarzan) very happy!
I wasn’t too sure what a cake ball was until I took my first bite. It’s just like a miniature cake that is gone in a couple of bites. You get the moistness that is found in cake, the hard icing in every bite, and the snack-size bite that is good for your waist. Almost like a petit-four is to a cake. These cake balls are REALLY good!
Finally, we were sent gourmet Neapolitan marshmallows. Now I have to be honest about these marshmallows… While they smelled amazing (think about neopolitian ice cream), I was slight worried about how they would taste. I’m only a marshmallow fan when it comes to s’mores. Period. Tarzan can barely handle marshmallows in those.
Of course I wasn’t going to let the marshmallows go to waste though, so I slowly took a bite out of a corner. Oh. My. Gosh. It was heavenly and thankfully the marshmallows are huge in size so there was more to eat! Even though it was still a marshmallow texture, this, my friends, did not bother me one bit.
I didn’t even give Tarzan the chance to try these; I ate both of them all by myself! If you are like me and are on the fence about marshmallows, definitely give them a try. I promise that you will be pleasantly surprised!
All in all everything that Vintage Confections sent me were absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to place an order for some more sweets! If you have an event coming up, or if you just want to nibble on something other than the traditional candy or cakes that you find in the grocery store, give Vintage Confections a try. Again, you will not be disappointed at all and your mouth will thank you for all the goodness!
I’m thinking the Butterscotch candy is calling my name…
