Not for a kid party.

we get a wegmans cake for every kid birthday party. Because it actually tastes good. I agree that the kids don’t really care but the parents do. I almost never accept a piece of cake at a kids birthday party because they are almost all not worth the calories. But a wegmans cake? especially if it’s marble with chocolate pudding filling and whipped cream frosting-always worth it.

We just had one - chocolate cake with buttercream, it was delicious. The chocolate with the chocolate ganache frosting might be too much.

We got one this year when my kids asked for too many other baked goods for birthday breakfast and I couldn't make one from scratch. I wasn't impressed but they LOVED it.

Did you know that some people don’t like yellow cake?

Agreed. In my world, chocolate is always preferred. Yellow is a disappointment.

This. Most 8 year olds won’t want chocolate.

+1 the reason I prefer Wegmans cakes is that they’re not sickly sweet like Safeway etc.

Kids til 12 years old like sheet cakes from any grocery store.

My 8 yo son picked that one. He loves it. I also brought it to a nye party and it was a big hit. I would get a pack of their cupcakes too in case any kid prefers that depending on how many you are hosting.

Wegmans is good. If it is a big group or you want leftovers, Costco is a good value.

I serve what my kid loves for his birthday party. He chooses all chocolate for frosting and flavor even when i ask him if it is too much chocolate and would like the yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I dont know why the above PP is suggesting to only serve yellow cake. Go with what your son wishes.

Wegmans cake are great. People always say Costco has good cakes, but I like Wegmans much better.
