MINNEAPOLIS -- Ryan Taylor, a self-professed cake addict, has created Cakedy, Minnesota's newest candy bar, reported KARE-TV. It combines a candy bar and cake.
"The thing we hear back from what we call our 'Cakedy crazies' is that they love the moistness of the cake," Taylor, founder Cakedy, told the news outlet.
"I would go to Cub Foods almost every weekend and get a piece of birthday cake," said Taylor, "I'm pretty creative, and I would start thinking of ways to make that into a single-serve candy bar."
To do this he needed someone on his team who knew their way around the kitchen. That person is his sister, Krystal Taylor. "I like to bake, so for me, it fit," she told KARE.
Every weekend this brother and sister duo spend several hours making candy bars since they both still have full time jobs during the week, the report said.
There are several varieties of Cakedy. Their best seller is the Peanutter. It's peanut butter cake nougat mixed with butterscotch chips coated in chocolate. There is also the Red Head, which is strawberry cake nougat and strawberry chips coated in a vanilla shell. And Choco Cocatus (Latin for "two chocolates"), which is chocolate cake nougat mixed with mint chocolate chips and covered in a chocolate shell.
And they are currently in the process of creating a fourth flavor, Red Velvet.
The products are already available in 25 stores, the report said, including area convenience stores, and they will be on sale at St. Paul Saints games.
