Looking to get a half sheet cake for a party this spring... I was thinking Shoprite, BJs, Highland Park Market, or Big Y. I've had them from Shoprite and BJs in New Jersey before and both were good, but I see people online suggest Highland Park Market and Big Y a lot. Do you have a favorite? Or a suggestion for somewhere else entirely?

Thanks!

Might be a dumb question, but do I need a Costco membership to get a cake there?

Yes. You can get a friend to get it for you, have them get you a gift card for costco, get a membership, buy a cake and cancel it for your money back, or pay $60 for the year.

Big Y has excellent sheet cakes.

I don't know what area you're from, but there are legit great independent bakeries around the state which would be better than a grocery store cake That said, whole foods bakeries are good

Looking for something relatively affordable since it’s for my dog’s birthday party 🤣 but always looking for local bakery suggestions to support for other occasions! I’m in Manchester

Wait what? Are you serving the cakes to the dogs at the party or the people at the party ? If to the dogs there are bakeries that will make specific cakes for dogs.

Costco is the best, if you know anyone with a membership.

Holy Sheet, New London.

Highland Park makes the best desserts. I think Big Y is good for a basic sheet cake, as well.

Just had a good sheet cake from Big Y, half chocolate, half vanilla cake with a vanilla custard and whipped cream frosting.

I second this! My family always gets sheet cakes from Big Y.

Big Y vanilla is one of my favorites.
