Author’s note: As per literally *always,* this is not a sponsored review. I have no affiliation with Costco<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream of the crop? Or just a peachy flop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You guys. This cake is made with cream. Yes, real cream. I’m in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And furthermore, it’s made with natural colors and flavors. Unlike Costco’s recent Strawberry Cream Pie debacle. Ahem. More about the ingredients later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peach compote filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The peach “compote” filling is both jam-like and slightly gelatinous. It has furtive bits of pulpy fruit (which I loved). The perky peach flavor asserts itself without being overly sweet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I’d describe the filling as “uneven.” Some areas are wondrously blessed, and some are just a depressed orange smear. I wouldn’t mind more of this peach stuff, to be honest.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cake texture & flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cake itself has a soft, tender crumb. With all the moistness from the whipped cream and peach filling, it manages to balance structure with hydration. I’d describe the flavor as “white cake” with little additional flavor. Like Costco’s Strawberries and Cream Bar Cake<\/a>, this cake exists mainly as a vehicle for the fruity flavors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Real whipped cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t love whipped cream, don’t buy this cake. Because that’s the very best part of the whole thing. I loved the fluffy clouds of delicate cream filling. It’s buttery, but cool and light. There’s just no substitute for real cream. Fight me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there’s a lot of it — almost as much whipped cream as actual cake layers. Fantastic. I loved the restrained sweetness here as well. It makes the peaches sing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Appearances matter, you know.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The top of the cake is garnished with pert white chocolate curls. While they keep the dessert from looking “too plain,” there aren’t enough of them to contribute much to the actual taste. In fact, mine all fell off before I served each slice. Hmmph!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving the cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The geometric “bar cake” shape doesn’t have the show-stopping, centerpiece quality of the Publix Strawberry Peach Sensation Cake<\/a>. But the slices are<\/em> elegant, and serve very neatly. Although, they are small<\/em> by Costco standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d feel comfortable serving this Peaches and Cream Bar Cake at an elegant dinner party, garden party, or even a tea party (might cut the slices in half for that!). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ok, these ingredients are not<\/em> irreproachable. But, they are not horrendous:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
