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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Yes, wegmans makes great cakes for the money

Their cakes are great, we love the whipped frosting.

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?
