Trader Joe’s has some seriously good bakery items, especially for fall, from apple cider doughnuts to the new cinnamon buns. But the dessert that gets everyone most excited is those little mini cakes. The hype is so real, it rivals the Trader Joe’s tote bag obsession.
TJ’s started off the year with a new mini sheet cake. Then, in the spring, it was all about the return of the lemon flavor, which fans said was so good that they brought a fork in their purse to eat the cake in the car as soon as they bought it, as well as the carrot cake version, which had fans hoping it would become a permanent addition to Trader Joe’s lineup of delicious treats.
This summer, Trader Joe’s released a limited-time strawberry version, but now, it’s fall. And that means the return of cozy, fan-favorite items, including last year’s fall mini sheet cake.
Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake Is Back
Trader Joe’s
Pumpkin spice lovers and Trader Joe’s mini sheet cake fans, rejoice! TJ’s just brought back its Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake, and we don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to dig in.
This cake has everything you already love about these mini delights: light, airy cake with cream cheese frosting, all in a convenient, compact size with a reusable lid—perfect for on-the-go snacking. Yep, it’s time to get those purse forks ready.
This version, however, is infused with all the cozy fall flavors, thanks to pumpkin purée and a touch of spice—think cinnamon and nutmeg—paired perfectly with that rich, tangy cream cheese frosting. Or, as Trader Joe’s fan @TRADERJOESAficado recently described on Instagram, it’s “all the fall vibes in one perfect little box.”
Last fall, fans rushed to pick up the cake from their local TJ’s, with one person commenting on a Reddit thread“I raced to my local TJ’s right as it opened this morning and bought a few of these.” Another fan added, “Well, it’s almost time to hibernate. I bought three.”
In true Trader Joe’s fashion, you can enjoy this decadent bakery item at a price that won’t break the bank, making it easy to grab one for yourself and another for friends. The 18-ounce cake is priced at $5.99 this year, but like any good Trader Joe’s item, it’s only around for a limited time.
With so much buzz from last fall, you might want to head to your local store soon before they’re all gone—again.
