Tasty tastykakes


I'm more of Peanut Butter Kandy Kake gal myself, but the Tasty Baking Company's new lemon-flavored krimpets, unveiled today, aren't half bad.


The Philadelphia company has partnered with the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation to produce Alex's Lemon Krimpets. The confections are a lemon-filled variation of the company's krimpets, a classic sponge cake. The krimpets cost $3.79 for a family pack. Tasty Baking is donating 50 cents for every box sold to the foundation.


Alex's Lemonade Stand has raised more than $10 million for pediatric oncology research since 2000. It's named for 4-year-old Alex Scott who set up a lemonade stand in her family's front yard. Alex died of cancer in 2004 at the age of 8.
