Would you recommend Wegmans cake for a kid's birthday?

I am hosting a birthday for my to be 8 year old son. Has anyone tried the ultimate chocolate cake from Wegmans and liked it? Which other bakeries would you recommend in McLean, VA or Falls Church, VA?

Yes, Wegmans cakes are a great value. We got the marble cake for my kids birthday last week.

Marble is great or a 1/2 choc 1/2 vanilla sheetcake. Ultimate choc is good for a family celebration but not a bunch of 8 yos, IMO. Their buttercream frosting is great. As is whipped, as a PP mentioned.

I love wegman's cakes but I don't think most 8 year olds can parse the difference in various sheet cakes.

Yes. It’s fine. Try Amphora Bakery for an exceptionally delicious cake though.

DO NOT SERVE CHOCOLATE CAKE. People should only serve plain yellow cake at birthday parties, there are a lot of people, especially kids, who don't like chocolate flavored cake.

Wegmans is my go to! I just get the sheet cake.

No. Ugh. it's far to sweet and sugar/fat loaded.

Pastries by Randolph is unsurpassed for birthday cake. Not cheap though.

I think Wegmans’ cake is the best of the grocery store cakes! Not sure what the “too sweet” PP is saying. I’m sensitive to overly sweet things, but Wegman’s is just fine.
