- it's fine for the price and quantity. 3-7-2011 11:01am
- I agree...it's not great tasting but it is a good value, especially when people don't eat an entire slice of the real good cake anyway. 3-7-2011 11:03am
- I think Costco cakes taste pretty good, better than some of the grocery store sheet cakes 3-7-2011 11:02am
- ITD--I was actually looking forward to it tasting like our local grocery store cake--it was dry and the filling was like glue 3-7-2011 11:03am
- np: it is almost as if you ate two different cakes. 3-7-2011 11:03am +1 like
- then you just saved yourself 500 calories. 3-7-2011 11:04am
- if it was dry then it was old 3-7-2011 11:04am
- agree, they use better ingredients. That being said, Whole Foods has the best grocery store cake out there (but more $$$). 3-7-2011 11:04am
- I find that most pretty cakes taste pretty bland. Best tasting cakes are the sloppy looking homemade ones! 3-7-2011 11:02am
- yeah try making enough cake to feed 75 people. costco is fine 3-7-2011 11:03am
- I have no problem with it at all, not saying that everyone should make a cake, just that in my exp. the ones that taste the best often look the worst. 3-7-2011 11:03am
- maybe that is an argument to only have small parties. 3-7-2011 11:05am
- Sure--just buy some crap cake JUST so you can say everyone had a piece of the crap-tastic cake...hmmm... 3-7-2011 11:05am
- Lots of transfats, too. 3-7-2011 11:03am
- I have had tasty costco cakes. 3-7-2011 11:03am
- fine for a kids party where it's rare for them to actually finish it or even sit still long enough to eat it. 3-7-2011 11:03am
- so it's basically just for looks, then? 3-7-2011 11:04am
- you have to have cake at a birthday party, no? 3-7-2011 11:05am
- OP: This wasn't a birthday celebration, and I think based on the amount that was left over and left on peoples' plates, they felt the same. I'm actually bummed, b/c $20 for a huge...(more) 3-7-2011 11:07am
sheet cake is dirt-cheap...too bad it tasted like dirt.
- wrong - they are delicious 3-7-2011 11:04am
- not the one I had. :P 3-7-2011 11:05am
- i think the rule of thumb is too get a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. I think the chocolate is supposed to be nasty. I ordered one for a party with 50 people and its was...(more) 3-7-2011 11:05am
- everyone raves about the chocolate mousse one. I don't like it, personally. 3-7-2011 11:05am
- the one I had WAS vanilla with buttercream--it had a vanilla pudding center and the whole thing was nasty. Maybe it was just that cake. 3-7-2011 11:06am
- I don't like it either. 3-7-2011 11:08am
- we ordered one with te cream cheese filling and it was terrific--nobody believed how cheap ot was or that it was from costco. 3-7-2011 11:12am
