Next time you can order what you want without stopping by DCUM.

This will be great. The filling is fine.

Because kids don't like fruit filling. Plus they aren't good.

This is the way. Absolutely do not get the "whipped" garbage icing.

No filling just get a cake from Safeway or Wegmans.

Buttercream frosting, not whipped cream. Also, go Safeway - they do a fresh strawberry layer that blows Giant cakes out of the water

As others have said, go chocolate or marble or 1/2 1/2 choc/van for the cake layer. No filling, absolutely not a fruit filling. And go with white buttercream frosting (can be dyed to any color if you want) because the whipped topping is more likely to require refrigeration (and can only be tinted to pastel colors). If you're not a big cake fan the most convenient grocery store is fine.

I know everyone loves Costco but I don't have time to go there twice to get my cake, so it's out. It will probably be safeway or giant.

I need to order a grocery stores sheet cake. I don't eat a lot of cakes. Any recommendation for whipped vs. buttercream frosting? And what filling to get? I have gotten custard filling before and I like it but not sure it would be a hit with kids. Raspberry?
