I had a slice of a chocolate cake at a birthday party once that was surprisingly good. It looked like this, with wavy lines in the top frosting, and chocolate shavings on the sides.
Yes. I love the red velvet cake. Mmm. we've gotten their sheet cake for a few events and people have really liked it and were surprised it was from costco. Mm. Now I want cake. :-)
in all our high class glory, we served costco cakes at the cake and punch part of our wedding reception. people raved about them then and i still get a few memories of "oh i just loved how you had a variety of cakes and they were all so delicious."
As if you need anymore confirmation, yes, the cakes are delicious. Even better, they're cheap! The sheet cakes are less than $20 and serve like 700 people.
See, i think they are good. But not the best. I had both carrot and red velvet a couple of weeks ago, and I thought the filling the carrot was kind of weird and the red velvet was a little dry.
They were not bad, but I've had better. I hope I'm not run off the board for saying that.
I did love their cheesecake the one time I had it, though. I have yet to buy one myself since that will probably be a fatty disaster.
I love love love Costco cakes but I hate their generic/outdated decoration options. The all American chocolate cake is to die for. The half sheets cost $17 while the 1/4 sheet cake I got from the target bakery (classy) for my sons party was $27.
Not as good as an artisan or specialty bakery, but much better than most grocery store cakes. I'd say they're good, but not omg the best cake I've ever tasted.
