Cake-in-a-jar: Grin Affair



A few days back mum brought home a treat -- A pretty and cute cake-in-a-jar. This one is the cookies and cream cake. The bottommost layer is made up of crushed Oreo and a layer of chocolate cake, followed by custard mousse and vanilla cake and crushed vanilla cookies.

The breakdown of the cake-in-a-jar varieties Grin affair offers can be found on their very cute and elegant website.

Overall it was really delicious. Creamy, not too sweet and everything just goes together very well with the combination of sweet and savoury flavours as well as crunchy and soft textures. I suppose the only issue would be that the oreo cookie layer tasted very slightly burnt. But doesn't affect the overall taste too much.

And it is presented so nicely in the jar that I really didn't bear to dig into it at first. It also comes with a nice little string handle which makes it easy to hold.

I would really like to try more flavours soon. However, they cost a bout $5.50 each and I think it is probably good for a rare treat or as a gift!                                                       

3/5 for taste and 4.5/5 for presentation!
