Costco cake is dry and tough. Wegmans is the better option.

I've never bought a costco cake before and want to for my son's party this weekend, but when I tried calling the store directly there was no extension number to connect to for the bakery. If I go the day of, can they just decorate the cake on the spot? I know they can write a name quickly but can they do other decorations? Thanks!


So first world.
You must enter the store and complete a sheet at the bakery booth.

No real good answer but just two thumbs down on giant. I used to work kids' birthday parties and the parents would offer me cake ... The giant ones were terrible.

Man. Safeway used to be da bomb. You can still try the Safeway in falls church. The ones at social Safeway are nasty frozen

I like Giant/Safeway- vanilla cake/vanilla icing.
Have not tried the other places.

Their Louisiana Crunch Cake is so freaking good. If I'm going to a party or something I need to bring dessert to when I don't feel like/have time to bake, it's what I bring.

But if we're talking birthday's, all of our cakes come from Giant. Really good, and you can't beat the price.

I vote Costco and Safeway. The best (tasting, not designed) wedding cake I've ever had came from Safeway of all places.

We should organize a big DCUM cake tasting party. This topic comes up fairly often. Maybe we could get all the stores to contribute cakes in hopes of generating future sales.

Cosco cakes are wonderful but they tend to be large and, at $200, I don't think this is inexpensive. Giant also has good cakes. How many people at the christening because Whole Foods has delicious cakes that run around $30.99 to $35.00 for average-size cake.


I meant $30.00 to $35.00.


I think I should hang it up because Cosco cake was $100.00 but the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted.
