I had a really terrible experience with the Weight Watchers Chocolate Cake in the individually wrapped packages.

 
The icing seemed to have separated from itself and the cake, giving off a really oily, horrible taste and the smell  was very similar to gasoline.  The cake itself was dry and very hard and again, seemed very greasy.

I can only guess that excessive heat might have caused the cakes to break down in this manner.  I wrote to complain to the company and they were very nice and refunded the money. They also said that they have only a limited shelf life and to always make sure they are fresh by looking at the sell by date. We think my store might have been stolcing them way too long.

So, not the best chocolate cake in the world, but I did try a second batch with the refund they gave me, and it was not bad if you are looking for dessert with feeling totally deprived.
