Costco birthday cakes

[mbcdefg]

Am I missing a link on the Costco website for viewing/ordering a sheet cake? The only Cakes link I see doesn't say anything about ordering custom cakes: www.costco.com/cakes-cookies.html

The only order form I found was through Google. I assume that I need to order in person, then? addictedtocostco.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/201106_costco_us_cake_order_form.jpg

Are they any good?

How much do they cost, and how many people do they serve? The link above tells me that a half-sheet will serve 48 people.

Meanwhile, Shop Rite has an ordering form on the website. It's telling me that a half-sheet cake, filled, is $35 and will feed 25-35 people. And they seem to have more flavors and fillings available than Costco. Any opinions on Shop Rite's cakes?

Their cakes are fabulous but you have to order in store. They don't have many varieties for decorations but if something they have works for you, I'd totally go with them.

[agnes]

Yup. You have to go to the store and get that form to fill out.

I LOVE their vanilla cake and I'm usually a chocolate fan.

oh man Costco cake is SO GOOD. I don't know about shop rite cakes but I love costco cake. it's been years sine I ordered one but it was under $20 when I did. I am sure you could call and ask

[shamrockshake]

found a site, it was $18 last June www.frugalhotspot.com/2014/06/costco-sheet-cake-17-99/

$18ish for 50 servings is a fabulous price.

Thanks!

They also tend to have some ready-to-go cakes in various themes/decorations in the refrigerated section by the bakery if you don't have time to go beforehand to order specifically.

I wish they allowed slightly more customization in the cake/filling options (apparently a few years ago they did), but for the price I really can't complain!

Costco cakes are SO GOOD. I highly recommend them; MH and I often joke that we should throw a party just so we can eat Costco cake.

Shop Rite has good cakes, too. But I feel like the quality varies depending on the store and they aren't as awesome as Costco.

I wonder if you can ask for a sample at Costco if you tell them you've never had it before?

Cake for lunch!

Yeah Costco cakes are pretty awesome & serve about 50 people. Should be about $18. You have to order in store. Flavor options are:
white cake with cheesecake filling & butter cream incing
chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling & butter cream icing
carrot cake (not sure on the filling) & butter cream icing

Costco cake is delicious. When DH ordered one a few months ago he asked the person in the bakery and they said the don't have to be only vanilla cake/white butter cream or chocolate cake/chocolate butter cream but that you can do vanilla/chocolate or chocolate/white if you write it in on the top of the form. I am not sure if all Costcos do this but it appears that ours does.

I have not.

The only Costco cake I've ever had was a ready-made red velvet cake, which was quite tasty.

[whitemerlot]

I like Costco cake. It's a great deal. The cupcakes are absolutely enormous, too big for what I would want.

[loreleigilmore]

I agree, the cupcakes are HUGE. Really they are minicakes. It's insane.

Traditionally a 1/2 sheet is said to have 48 servings and a quarter sheet 24.

Realistically, most people cut slightly bigger pieces so maybe 36 and 20 servings are more realistic.

Thanks, good to know. I might make brownies or something but I bet a few guests will bring a dessert too.

You can also order via fax. Call the store, they can send you the order form and you can fax it back.

Best cakes ever!!!
