It’s not a lollipop, a piece of cake, or even a cake on a stick, but a Cake Pop. There are 3 flavours which are part of Starbucks’ new line of treats called “Petites“. Each Petite is supposed to be under 200 calories.

Despite the low-ish calorie count, don’t let it fool you into thinking that it’s “healthy” as the list of (at least half of) the ingredients reads like a chemistry textbook! Click here to read what’s in the Tiramisu Cake Pop.

A barista was handing out these artery clogging fakies and for some reason, I choose the Tiramisu flavour. (I dunno why ’cause I think Tiramisu is gross!) I also had a nibble of the ballet pink Birthday Cake Pop.  Visually, the Petites sure look cute!

Verdict? Both were surrounded by a soft, fake chocolate shell and super sweet with the Tiramisu taking the “cake”. (It didn’t taste like Tiramisu, btw.) The texture of the inside reminded me of marzipan, but it didn’t taste like almonds. I literally looked ’round to see if there was a poster with a description of what I was eating ’cause I didn’t have the faintest.

According to other blogs they’re like $1.50USD/ea which will likely equal $2CAD with a broken down currency calculator. We always get the shaft!

The next time I’m at Starbucks and feel like something sweet, I think I’ll bypass the Petites and bakery items (just as bad – I checked!), and just add a bit of honey/raw sugar to my coffee.

I was looking for a product to help my husband’s muscle pain and came across the website for Myoflex pain reliever. They are offering a printable coupon for $3 off any product. Here is the blurb from their website:

Myoflex is an analgesic rub that actually penetrates deep into aching muscles and joints to deliver effective pain relief to the site of the pain. Myoflex can be used where you have pain and is odour free so no one knows you’re using it. Myoflex absorbs quickly without sticking to or staining clothes. Usage is recommended for the temporary relief of arthritic or rheumatic pain, aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with backache, lumbago, neck ache, strains, sprains, pain of tendons and ligaments.

Paderno’s precise heat control, durability, ease of use and elegant design make it ideal for both home and restaurant use. Cookware so tough, it has found a place aboard Air Force One and in the residence of Canada’s Prime Minister. Our Paderno brand Pots for Eternity is backed by an exceptional 25 year warranty.
