I bought this when we did our recent flash sale with Cake. I love it. It's extremely moisturizing and it smells like vanilla and marshmallows. I noticed a couple of reviewers thought it was too strong, but I don't find the scent overwhelming at all. It's sweet and subtle.

Cake Beauty is Canadian and the products are 90-95% natural and they are paraben free. I prefer using products like that and those are the ones I'll keep buying after they run out.

What I love the most is that my hands, which are normally cracked and dry are ultra soft and silky. I keep this at my desk now so I always have a soft hand shake.

I received a free sample of this and had the chance to try it out. The price is quite high for a hand cream (in my opinion). It does do a very good job of moisturizing my hands as the weather gets colder. The texture also has a nice consistency to it -- not too runny or thick either.

What really turns me off about this product is the smell. I'm in total agreement with the other reviewer... I find that it's just too sweet smelling for my taste! The smell also lingers for a while and takes a while to fade away.

If you really like sweet smelling lotions and hand creams, this might be the product for you. Because of the smell and for the fact that it does comes for a higher price, I don't think I will be buying this product.

does the job, keeps your hands super smooth though I'm not crazy about the smell. For similar a similar price I think the Aveda hand cream or Bliss one is a better bet.
I do like that it's made in Canada though.

Here's a review of one of the other products I was pleasantly surprised by: Milk Made Hand Creme by Cake.


I first received this as a gift from the W Network about a year ago. I had no idea what it was and had never heard of the brand before (apparently it's some sort of upscale trendy brand?? And it's Canadian!) but decided to give it a go.


Boy, was I surprised! This hand cream is absolutely divine. It feels creamy and very smooth, and spreads easily on your hands. It absorbs within a reasonable amount of time and doesn't leave that gross greasy residue.


This cream gets big points on the moisture factor: it leaves your hands supple and soft; I particularly like using it on my cuticles and areas of my hand that get the most dry. It is quite simply a pleasure to use.


So what are the major drawbacks?


The Smell: It has marshmallow extract in it, which makes it smell like some sort of super-sweet, somehow creamy vanilla marshmallow. Totally eatable. If you're into smelling like candy and/or baked goods, then you'll probably love this to bits. I, however, prefer a less noticeable scent. Though I must admit that I've gotten used to it now, and the benefits still outweigh this minor detail.


The Price: At $18 a pop for a small tube, it is definitely an indulgence. I have received 3 tubes in succession as Ad Gifts therefore never having to purchase it myself. Will I buy it again once I run out? Possibly. Though I would definitely check for sales, discounts or trades on Makeup Alley, etc. first, and avoid paying full cost if possible.

So where can you get this?

I've seen the line at certain Bay stores. I'll bet its at the nicer Sears locations (Eaton Centre) as well. And Sephora.

Overall I think this is a great product and would recommend it to anyone who's not afraid to splurge from time to time.
