When I come across a product that can help parents of college students, I’m happy to share it with my readers. For parents whose students will be heading off to college this fall, this product will you stay in touch and show “love” for your students.

Do you have a student entering college for the first time? How about a student returning to school?  Either way, they’ll be working hard and missing home.  For those that are leaving home for the first time, being away will be exciting and scary.  They will be trying to keep up with their work, while at the same time balancing a new social dynamic.  Thoughts of home will be a safe haven from the hectic schedule they will now be keeping.  For those students who are returning, they will be trying to maintain the school lifestyle they’ve become accustomed to.  However, they too will look to reminders of home for solace when things get a little too crazy.

While it’s common for parents to send their students care packages to help them stay fed, most of these care packages are filled with junk food.  Processed, unhealthy junk food.  Why not give them a true reminder of home each month by ordering them a subscription to A Taste of Home Cake Crate by Kentastic Cakes?  A Taste of Home Cake Crate is a monthly subscription of homemade, from scratch baked goods that are shipped directly to their door(or school Mailroom) each month.  All items within A Taste of Home Cake Crate are created from scratch using only fresh ingredients.  Nothing is processed and everything tastes AMAZING!!

A Taste of Home Cake Crate can be ordered by the month or in longer durations at a discounted price. We also offer our COLLEGE PLAN, which is specifically meant for your student and follows a typical school year.  With the COLLEGE PLAN, your student will receive a Cake Crate from September through November and from January through May.  They will NOT receive a Cake Crate in the month of December, as most students go home for the holidays.  Crates are shipped on or around the 20th of each month, with the exception of May.  May crates will be shipped the 1st week of the month to be sure your student receives it before leaving school for the summer.  We also offer a First Semester and Second Semester Plan.  A NUT FREE option is also available.

Each month, your student will receive:

• A Large Cake In A Cup (almost a full pound of moist cake and creamy buttercream frosting)
• 4 Yummy Cake Pops – Flavors change each month.
• 3-6 Fresh Baked Cookies(dependent on size and type)
• A Mystery Item – Past Mystery Items have been French Macarons, Baklava, S’mores Bars and Chocolate Covered OREOS.

Kentastic Cakes has been creating beautiful, delicious custom cakes since 2012.  In addition to weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and birthdays, Kentastic Cakes has been enjoyed at high profile events, such as the Boston Strong Benefit Concert after the marathon bombings and the Vans Warped Tour 20th Anniversary BBQ.  Our cakes have been eaten by members of NKOTB, Aerosmith, celebrity chef Ming Tsai and more.  We’ve even made cake pops for legendary rock band, Motley Crue on their Farewell Tour.

A Taste of Home Cake Crate just celebrated its 1 Year Anniversary and is excited to send your hard working student awesome treats each month.  Please visit mycakecrate.com for more detailed information and pricing, as well as some FAQs at our College Plan page.

As we always say, “Just because they can’t be at home, doesn’t mean you can’t send them A Taste of Home.”
