This evening our family tried these two HEB Classic Selections Desserts: Gourmet Iced Lemon Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cheesecake on a Graham Cracker Crust.

With the Gourmet Iced Lemon Pound Cake , I did as the instructions said and left it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. I opened it up and the pound cake still felt frozen. When I cut into it after removing the plastic wrap, it still seemed pretty hard. The whole family had a piece and we all felt the same thing, which is unusual. As soon as we tasted the Lemon Pound Cake we were pretty unhappy. The Lemon Pound Cake was day-old tasting, very dry, and had a packaged aftertaste. It was extremely disappointing. I can't believe on the actual package it says, "...moist, delicious lemon pound cake....".  Unless we happened to get one that was the exception?  We will not purchase this product again!

Luckily, we also had the Pumpkin Cheesecake! Let me tell you, as soon as this dessert hit our tongues, it was like heaven. The cheesecake was so moist that it melted in our mouths like cotton candy. It was just plainly perfect! The graham cracker crust complimented the cheesecake superbly. The Pumpkin Cheesecake was so creamy, rich, flavorful and fresh tasting. The family raved about the cheesecake, we will definitely be buying this again and again and again.:) The only thing I didn't like about it was the tight plastic wrap packaging, it was very difficult to cut it out of it's shell without messing up the cheesecake. Otherwise it was simply perfection....


Overall, I think all of you know the way I'm leaning....love HEBs Classic Selections Pumpkin Cheesecake!! And HEBs Classic Selections "Gourmet" Iced Lemon Pound Cake will NEVER grace our plates again! So please try the cheesecake it's breath-taking.:)
