It had been quite a while since I swore by Starbucks’ sliced cakes, as most of recent creations were more misses than hits, or that they were just too dry, suggesting they were left in the fridge a tad too long.

However, what truly amazed me with their Lychee Rose Cake Popsicle (S$6.90) was that the cake was coated with white chocolate which retained the moisture of the cake within. No doubt the cake was still sweet on the whole, but it was still quite cool to eat such a big slice of cake pop and yet able to hold on to the ice cream stick from start to finish, as though I was really eating a popsicle.
