"Our reviewer found the cream cheese frosting to be excellent, but the base of the cake was the real star. The combination of carrots, ground walnuts, and cinnamon worked in harmony to create "the most dynamic flavor and texture of all six cakes." On top of that, the cake doesn't contain raisins - which was a plus due to personal preference. Our taste tester isn't the only one in love with Trader Joe's carrot mini sheet cake."
"In a Reddit thread titled "A little commotion for the Carrot Cake" the original poster claims, "The flavor, the moistness, the frosting. It's perfect." Another person chimed in with, "WOW! I just tried this for the first time. The cream cheese frosting is UNREAL." Elsewhere on Reddit, many discussed how this cake is a test of willpower. "Had a great workout this evening, went to TJ's, ate half the carrot cake while sitting in my car in the parking garage," described one happy customer."
"Other Redditors noted, "I can't control myself around this cake lol," and, "Currently 33 weeks pregnant and if I don't give birth to a baby made of this cake, I will be shocked." Detractors from the carrot cake had comments like, "I've had better, moister, more carrot flavor or more spice. Points, however, for not being overly sweet." A few others agreed it could have more carrot punch, or"
Trader Joe’s mini sheet cakes include decadent options such as dark chocolate ganache and vanilla bean Chantilly cream, but the classic carrot cake stands out.

The cake is noted for lacking raisins, which is considered a positive.

Criticism includes requests for more carrot flavor, more spice, or greater moisture, while others appreciate that it is not overly sweet.
