+1. Tried giant, whole fds, & wegmans. But wegmans is easier to order online, so get wegmans.

Nothing Bundt cakes - cake is really good

wegmans - love the frosting but the cake is nothing amazing

What is the chantilly cake? Is that the strawberry creme cheese cake? It’s amazing.

Cakes plus in Laurel. Order a cake

I disagree about nothing Bundt cakes - overly sweet and cloying cream cheese frosting and dumpy appearance is not appealing.

+1 for WF berry chantilly

Chantilly cake is expensive, but has all natural ingredients. It is a vanilla cake with frosting that is made of whipped cream, cream cheese, marscarpone mixed with mixed berries, and an apricot glaze. I've never notice the apricot glaze, but definitely the rest.

Not costco. I like the ones at Giant and safeway.

Safeway

Is it that much harder to get one from a bakery? Out in the Western ‘burbs of NoVA, you can go to any Korean bakery and pick up some lovely cakes that aren’t cloyingly sweet. Usually there are some inside Lotte/H-Mart.

I'm buying the 7 layer pumpkin whipped cream cake from BakeShop and it's $70, prepay and order ahead. So, yeah, it's a little harder and much more expensive.

14 years of birthday parties, we always had cakes from Giant. Everyone loved them. Never had left-overs.

I just had an amazing piece of cake from Safeway. Maybe even better than Costco. Just a single piece from their $5 Friday. If you can get that cake in a sheet cake you should. I want to go back and get another piece.

It was 3 later white cake with a layer of chocolate buttercream and something like a vanilla custard. Thick chocolate ganache-like icing on top. So moist and light. Fillings so fluffy. Chocolate ganache so rich.

Yes it is. I need to get a big cake for around 35-40 people. Reeling just at the price of grocery cake. I don’t need to spend $100+ on a cake.

Wegman’s is really the only answer here. Delicious, can feed a crowd (as a PP noted, don’t get a filling if you only get one layer), and a good deal.

For 30-40 ppl, and looking at prices, Costco is probably worth the trip.

Whole Foods Strawberry Cream Cake (not the shortcake). So damn good! Even people who don’t like cream cakes like this one.
