How much does a Costco cake cost? Are they good? Do they need to be pre-ordered? (I need a quarter or half sheet cake)

I personally think they are great! Have ordered quite a few for band banquets, etc. I think they usually have a few that they can decorate on demand, but usually ask for notice especially during busy seasons like graduations.
I want to say the larger ones were less than $20 each....but it's been a few years!

I haven't bought one for about a year, but between $20-$25 here for a big cake.
They always have a few in the display case, but if you want one with a specific picture/saying on it you need to pre-order about 2 days in advance.
They have about 10 different styles to choose from.
We often get them for school PTA events, or big parties where we need lots of cake. It's pretty good. Chocolate or vanilla with a chocolate or vanilla filling layer inside.
They don't hold a candle to a delicious homemade or fancy bakery cake. However, I think they're very good for the price you pay.

I like the white cake a lot more than the chocolate, surprisingly enough. We (our neighborhood) get Costco cakes for all of our events. They are really good. I can't remember the price but they are amazingly cheap.

Costco cakes are good. We like the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I'm not sure of the price, except that it is way cheaper than a bakery cake.

I like them. I don't buy them often, but it's a good option when you need one. And as a bonus, I've yet to see a Costco cake on Cake Wrecks.  |

Another Costco bakery cake fan here. We got a bunch (WAAY too many!) of their ginormous cupcakes for our anniversary party a couple years ago. We didn't go through nearly as many as we thought we would because people hesitated to take one because they are so huge. We ended up freezing the leftovers, then wrapping each one in plastic wrap, put them back into the clamshells and they were still really good for months. We still had some in the freeze over a year later and we were really surprised to find that they were still good!

Costco cake is my absolute favorite! The standard size they have on hand is supposed to feed 48 (small squares) and we've done it before. It was 18.00.

I'm assuming that you mean the sheet cakes? I have one ordered for our Theatre Gala tomorrow. It was $18 for a half sheet (they don't do quarter sheets) and I agree that the white is better than the chocolate. There is a layer of pudding in the middle that keeps it really moist. Our Costco has some cakes predecorated in the bakery section, or you can preorder a specific design. The designs are basic, but you can customize the writing and the colors.
If you are just looking for a cake, they have good "fancy" ones as well. There is a huge chocolate cake that's really good, but we like the mousse cake that is several kinds of chocolate done in a Napoleon style (but all chocolate). And the tres leche cake is really moist. They pies are good too, but I really like the cakes.

We love the Costco cakes. Our favorite sheet cake is chocolate cake, vanilla mousse filling, and chocolate buttercream frosting. We have to pre-order this.
They have cakes available in the case. They are either chocolate with chocolate with chocolate or white with vanilla with vanilla.

They are "okay". Our chain grocery store usually has specials this time of year for sheet cakes with a fresh fruit filling and whipped cream frosting that tastes much better for about the same price.

I know you're looking for a sheet cake, but one of my coworkers brought in a tres leches cake (it was round) and it was FANTASTIC.

I don't like cake. I never have. Except for cheesecake. When I was working, they celebrated everyone's birthday in the conference room with a big cake. It was rude to refuse to join in and have a piece of cake, so I always asked for a small piece, ate a little, then pushed it around my plate a bit to make it look like I ate more than I had. I would take it back to my office to "eat later" and tossed it before the end of the day. Then one birthday I took another small piece and took a bite and it was delicious. I was really surprised and I ended up eating the whole piece. I later found out it was a Costco cake. So at any event where a cake is required, Costco gets my vote! |

Those of you who are giving the price of around $20 for a "half sheet cake" -- are you telling me that the HUGE rectangular cake that you have to preorder if you want words on it -- that's a "half"  lol. Anyway, I love Costco cakes, any of them. Anytime we have a church event we get one of the sheet cakes. Also PTA stuff. Last year at church for dd's birthday she decided she didn't want a sheet cake and instead picked out two of the huge round cakes that are premade -- she picked the carrot cake and the triple chocolate overload cake. This year she says she wants a cheesecake and the chocolate cake. Maybe. lol. She'll probably change her mind when she gets to the Costco and looks in the bakery cases. lol |

Most people love a Costco cake and it's a great deal. You will need to make sure you have room in your refrigerator -- especially if you keep in the box. We have a smaller fridge in the garage and they do not fit. Cut the leftovers in pieces - freeze until hardened then wrap the individual frozen pieces to freeze and eat later.

That's what we did with our leftover cupcakes and they were still edible 14 months later! (We had a LOT left over, LOL!) |

Most people's ordinary refrigerator won't be able to fit the cake because of all the other stuff we have in there. I've only ever gotten them for PTA things or for church so we were able to store it in the school kitchen refrigerator or at the church. I think it has to be kept cold because of the layer of cream/filling in the middle. |
