Yellow lemon cake of heaven

October 16, 2009 11:19 AM

Please help me identify this snack cake!

I went to this dinner last night (I'm in the Bay Area), where, for dessert, they served a selection of tiny cakes, including one that I now must have.

It was about 1.5in in diameter, a circular, lemon cake covered in a solid, daffodil-yellow glaze with white stripes on top. It definitely seemed store-bought.

Please help me identify this cake and where I might possibly acquire more. Thanks!

Is there any reason you can't ask the people who hosted the dinner?

@Think_Long: I'm pretty sure it wasn't.

@brainmouse: I have contacted someone at the event, and they've directed me to other people. It seems I haven't been contacting the right person, yet, as none of them seem to know. Until I find out, I thought I'd see if the hivemind would know. But thanks for your suggestion.

I could swear that these were made in a lemon frosted variety at some point.

Our local bakeries of distinction include Citizen Cake and Miette. You might go on a scouting mission to both and see what you find.

Was it these? They are sold at Costo in packs of 24.

D'oh, Costco, not Costo, obviously. Those cakes are even better if you put them in the freezer.
