Customer Reviews

Awesome in season dessert!

I was skeptical at first, who grills angel food cake?! But after the first bite, I was hooked! The grilling firms up the cake and the grill marks give it a little crunch. Adding the fresh strawberries and whipped cream were great, but the juice from the balsamic vinegar was over the top! Some of that stayed on the strawberries and some absorbed into the cake. A great dessert anytime of year but especially now with fresh Michigan strawberries!

Classic with a Spin

Strawberries with some type of cake is probably my favorite summer dessert. The grilled cake was good, but my favorite part was the zing of the balsamic and the bits of basil. And you can never go wrong with whip cream on top.
