I received my order for these two proteins and tried them both. I tried Vanilla Cake batter last night made into a shake/smoothie. I used ice, skim milk and some caramel topping. Honestly, it's too sweet and it's not from the caramel topping since I used that in all my past protein shakes and never had a overpowering sweet flavor like I did with this shake. I was hoping for something close to ATW's cupcake batter but it is sweeter then I expected. Almost like it's vanilla cake icing not batter.

This morning I made a shake/smoothie with CGC without caramel topping mixed in. I found it to almost taste like an iced coffee a little. Maybe it's just me but that is the flavor I got a hint of.
 
man you must have gotten a different batch of cake batter than I did, or else you never eat sweet stuff. MIne taste like bland vanilla or something, not good
 
I sent in multiple request for samples with my order. Never received one or a reply. I'm not going to buy this one now.

Was your request in the comments section of an order? We tried to accomodate all the requests we could, be we had a massive amount of orders with this past sale, and it's quite likely due to the massive # of sample requests they weren't able to provide one.
 
No, I can say I am bad when it comes to sweet treats. Our cupboards have too much candy(which maybe explains my trouble in losing those hard to lose pounds and fat in certain areas). I will give it a go tonight with no caramel mixed in and see what it is like.

No, I sent a message to customer support not even a minute after. I refreshed and then left a comment in the comment section but I was skeptical on that working. So after contacting customer support and re-commenting, I went ahead and told a few reps here and nothing.

You can't take a product, toss other crap in it and say its taste bad. It's kinda like taking a New York Strip, covering it in salt or something, and complaining that the meat is horrible. Try it as is, then give a review. If you like it with the caramel, then tell us that it's a suggestion to improve the flavor. It's honestly a pretty good idea that I haven't thought of, and being a huge caramel fan, what kind do you use?

I know and like I said I will try it tonight with just the powder, ice, and milk. However, I can tell you the overly sweet flavor is not from the caramel. I have used this caramel in every other protein I ever used from ATW. I have used pretty much every flavor from them and it always made it better. I also think I just need to get used to the flavors. My first few shakes from some of the old ATW proteins were not to my liking at first then I actually turned to love them. It all comes down to the right amount of ice, milk, and powder.

I use Smuckers caramel topping which comes in a squeeze bottle. It works wonders for added flavor for hard to swallow shakes.

I concur. Tasted almost like drinking buttermilk, or something bland, and off tasting. I just don't know how this one could have ever made it past the testing phases.

Please PM me with your addy so I can send you a sample of CGC and Watermelon. I got your last PM, haven't had a chance to reply til now.
 
Last night I tried Cake Batter again without caramel and still has a different taste then I was expecting. I guess it's not really an overly sweet taste just different. Not bad really just need to get used to it since I was expecting a doughy like flavor in it. I am sure I will grow to love it the more I consume.
 
Well my early comments need to be changed. I had a shake last night with choc graham cracker again but used a full scoop. It was very good. I don't know why my first one tasted so "off" to me. It always takes a few shakes and getting the right amounts of ice to milk to powder to make the shake taste the best.
