*UPDATE* 4/3/25.
I have to admit that my favorite cake is simply a Costco Sheet Cake. It doesn’t matter if it’s vanilla or chocolate, they are both amazing. Besides ordering them for birthdays, you can also get seasonal decorated cakes. Plus, one of the most popular places to buy a graduation cake is actually Costco. In 2012, Costco sold around one million sheet cakes during the eight-week graduation season!
Each half sheet cake weighs in at about 9.5 pounds, measures 12 inches by 16 inches, and can serve around 48 people. What an affordable way to feed a crowd at just $26.99 (price may vary by location) for any special occasion like birthdays, baby showers, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, graduation, and so on. And designs may change from year to year with input from Costco bakers, who do such a great job skillfully decorating every cake by hand. Oh, and you can order a smaller 10″ round cake for $16.99 or a 60-count cookie tray for $22.99.
To personalize your cake, fill out the cake order selection form at your Costco bakery, giving them a 1-day advanced notice. One option is a white cake that is filled with vanilla cheesecake mousse and iced with white buttercream. The other option is a chocolate cake filled with chocolate truffle mousse and iced with chocolate buttercream. Include a personal message and select your colors for roses (if that’s the design selected).
Choose from a variety of designs: Roses with your choice of color or all white, Scored design with flowers, Balloons, Candles, Baby Shower, Rainbow, American Flag, and a Seasonal Design. These designs may change over time. I do miss the Costco bear design.
Friendly Reminder: Please remember to keep the cake refrigerated. You can always freeze leftovers (thaw in refrigerator 24 hours before serving), but quality may be affected.
