Don’t miss out on Costco’s great bakery deals, especially the sheet cakes. You can get any flavor you want, as long as you want chocolate or white cake. A half sheet cake can cost less than $20 and feed up to 48 people.
You can get a custom-decorated cake if you order ahead, but don’t worry if you have poor planning skills. The bakery keeps sheet cakes in stock and you can pick one up an hour before your son’s birthday party. He'll never know the difference.
The cakes aren't just cheap — they’re tasty, too. One of my friends got a Costco cake for her daughter’s graduation party and it was so delicious that the entire giant sheet had disappeared by the end of the night.
