Buttercream only

Bakery buttercream has shortening.

Ummm, yeah? That's what Crisco is. Shortening.

Giant does a good basic cake. I would go with buttercream icing, as they do it well. No filling, and just do a half chocolate -half vanilla cake. Then people can choose their flavor.

For all the years we had birthday parties, we had cakes from Giant, and they were all gobbled up. They’re yummy.

You look a little silly pretending to be SO ashamed that you are being FORCED to get a cake from Giant.

Eye roll.

Wegmans but buttercream frosting is the only way. Whipped is gross.

I’ve never actually gotten a filling when I’ve ordered one. Just a frosted sheet cake. Do some Giants actually do a filling?

Giant cakes are fine. Definitely do buttercream icing with either strawberry or lemon.

Wegmans cakes are amazing. People always comment on how good it is when I serve that at my kids’ birthday parties.

Wegmans

Go to Wegmans instead.

Whipped icing, strawberry or chocolate filling.

Go to Costco. Seriously. Even if you have to by a gift card to make it happen.

Very long story but will cut to the chase....I am having to purchase a sheet cake for 60 people from Giant food for an outside event. Not a cake person....Any recommendations on flavor, icing (whipped or buttercreme) and fillings (strawberry, lemon, etc) to choose? I know, I know...go to Costco instead but it's not an option. Just trying to provide the best outcome of a sheet cake possible from Giant. Thank You for your input!
