I have read the other reviews on Oreo Cakester's and have to disagree on many of them claiming it is too sweet and soft. My wife brought me home a pack today and I rather enjoy them. They are soft like say a Ding Dong and yes they are sweet but I feel they retained the same taste as an Oreo Cookie only in a soft form.

Oreo Cakesters

My wife got me the Chocolate Oreo Cakester and after dinner I indulged myself in them. I found them very soft and sweet just like others have said and claimed they did not like. I also found the outside of the Cakester very much resembled the taste of a normal Orel Cookie. The same taste I have grown to love over the years.

Much more texture is there than when you dip your Oreo's in milk in my opinion anyway, as I like to dip until the bubbles stop coming out of the cookie...lol. The creme center is much softer than a normal Oreo and I expected that after finding the outer portion was so soft. There is also a nice contrast to the chocolate flavor on the outside to that of the inside. Although they are both sweet they are a different sweet and work very well together.

The outer sweet also has a slight bitter taste that is very pleasant. While the inside is a sweet one would expect from an icing like that on a cake. I look at them as a Chocolate Cake turned inside out in a way. The cake is on the outside, while the icing is on the inside.

Bottom Line

As I said in the beginning I have to disagree that the Oreo Cakester is not an Oreo. It goes against what we perceive an Oreo to be in the same sense that the Original Oreo went against what we then perceived a cookie to be! When the Oreo first made its debut on the scene we were used to home made cookies that were sometimes soft and sometimes hard but they were a one layer cookie that Mom made as a treat. Then we were thrust into packages of cookies with creme fillings and it was now okay that we were eating 2 cookies with a filling in the middle.

Welcome to the 00's were we now have an Oreo that is an inside out Cake that comes in a small 2 Cakester package. Although we can no longer dip these new Oreo's, we don't have too as they are already soft and ready to enjoy as we did our very first Oreo's!
