On Reddit, one customer complained, "The ones I have tried taste to me like just pure sugar. Doesn't matter if it's lemon, chocolate, vanilla." Another said the frosting "has a cheap taste." The reviews on Walmart's own site are even harsher, with nearly 40% of reviewers giving the cakes two stars or less. One buyer admitted, "The cake is absolutely beautiful, but [it's] one of the worst I've ever tasted". Another, said it was so sweet they "couldn't even eat a very small piece."
Whether you got in on the fall-themed fun way back in September or you waited until October 1 to pick up that tub of pumpkin-shaped cookies, the mere whiff of the gourd has a way of making the season feel cozy and warm. You've probably browsed the aisles of your local grocery store and spotted the pumpkin-flavored coffee creamers and pumpkin spice-flavored donuts many times, but if you're walking through the Walmart bakery aisle, fellow shoppers say there's one item you don't want to miss: the Marketside Pumpkin Spice Streusel Muffins.
