Great News Sanders Bumpy Cake Is Back!

Detroit favorite Sanders announced that production of their Bumpy Cakes will resume soon; they’ve found new partners to produce them.

If you remember, the making of the Bumpy Cakes was paused after Livonia bakery Minnie Marie Bakers Inc. closed.

A date will soon be announced when the cakes can be purchased again. Sanders said that when production is “fully resumed,” the company will sell the original chocolate flavor in regular, mini, and party sizes, as well as vanilla buttercream and carrot cake.

The answer is yes. Once the cakes are available, you can order them on this Sanders Website

This has always been a debate—even with our WCSX Morning Show, Big Jim's House, along with Ryan Logan. There's a Michigan way of saying it and a normal pronunciation.

Some Michiganders draw out the beginning of the word Sanders with a long A ( Sone-ders).

Here's an A.I. version to help the debate

In August of 2023, the news caused a run on stores everywhere to grab the last of Michigan's favorite Bumpy cake—the news of the shortage spread across social media, news, and TV. People went as far as putting up boxes of Sanders Bumpy cakes on EBAY and being accused of price gouging. People were followed to their cars in shopping centers only to be held up for their cakes.

In 1912, after many attempts and long hours, Fred Sanders perfected one of our most legendary and original confections, the Chocolate Bumpy ™ Cake, by combining chocolate devil’s food cake with buttercream ridges and then pouring a rich chocolate ganache over the entire baked dessert. Fred decided to put on four ridges, and everyone loved the idea.

February is National Snack Food Month, so for the rest of this month, I will focus on snacking in every way possible! Most days, I need a snack or five to make it through the day… and if I only make nutritious choices, that's no fun.  What are your favorite midnight snacks?

Snacking more can have a positive on our overall health. There are times to be healthy and sometimes the bad snacks are fine if you enjoy them in moderation. Now a reminder: the choices I am about to tell you are not from a nutritional standpoint. The snacks I list are my favorites from over the years. You might agree to disagree with my choices. Others might look at and say, "Oh Yeah Baby." Some snacks came from local establishments. Feel free to visit our local businesses. Tell them I sent you. It won't mean anything, but it's still fun to say, "Screamin' Scott sent me."

The definition of a Midnight Snack is a small portion of food generally eaten around midnight. Obvious, yes?  Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged snack foods and other processed foods, as well as items made from fresh ingredients at home. Leftovers can be Midnight Snacks.  See if your favorites align with my choices.  Late after a night out, there is nothing like my favorite Midnight Snacks by the refrigerator light.

Good friend, Brian Paul Ermoyan, agrees with me as you can never go wrong with a Taco. Think of this, have you ever seen somebody sad with a taco? Never in my life have I ever cried over a taco. An excellent choice for a Midnight Snack is tacos.

The minute you open the fridge your eyes will be laser-focused on a box of PIZZA. The gamble is always when you open the box to see how many slices are left in the box. Anything more than 2 slices is a win in my book. Never have to worry about brands when it comes to Midnight Snacks. Unless there is a name on the box. That's the only common rule to follow. Don't be that person who disregards the holding pizza note and eats it anyway. Unless you leave your own note with a promise to replenish the slices taken. There is always leftover pizza around the WCSX studios.

Once you start Midnight Snacks you can't stop. Lasagna is liquid gold at Midnight. Nothing fills that space in your stomach more than Lasagna hot or cold. Sometimes they say it tastes even better the next day. Midnight is the next day, right?

Ha! Just kidding you, nobody eats a salad at Midnight. Go to #5

Midnight Snacks also include a sweet tooth and cookies hit the spot. Wash it down with ice-cold milk and you will know why Santa loves it so much.

Who says you have to eat cereal just at breakfast? Midnight snacks must include cereal. The only thing missing is cartoons. When all else fails at the fridge, there is always the midnight snack of champions.  Nothing is more satisfying than a large bowl of your favorite cereal. Or even better treat yourself to your kid's cereal. They'll never know because they should be fast asleep.
