Whole Foods cakes are always a hit when I take them to a party. And the beautiful fruit tarts are delicious too.
Agreed! And they do sell keto cookies and muffins too! So good! 😃
Man I miss living near a Publix. Those pub subs are THEE BEST!
My sister used to work at Walmart and she said that the cakes would come in already made all they would have to do is just put the kid's name on it and a couple of toys on it and then sell it for like 40 bucks they probably do the same thing at Target and every other supermarket that you go to go buy a cake for your kid
Yeah, because, now 90 percent of their bakery items come premade, one because, there isn’t enough time, nor could they bake that much quantity right there at the store, bakers would be working around the clock non- stop. Not too many yrs after they were in business realized this was impossible, I’m guessing. The more of a problem was created during the pandemic where hardly nothing now is made in store bakeries, it all comes to Walmart premade and, then, frozen. Lol I am sure very little is done for the birthday cakes and other decorative cakes, aka/ it doesn’t shock me. Since, I learned yrs ago long before the pandemic that restaurants don’t even have a baker on sight, all those bake goods, especially when, it comes to chains and buffets they all get them frozen and, set them out on the buffet line and dessert table to thaw, that’s why the oder is foul and mushy and, has very much the smell and taste like play dough and, isn’t fit to eat. Aka/ restaurant owners even told me when, I was asking for a cake. You think how much, I no longer wanted to eat any desserts there after finding this out at a Pondarosa that was in my town. The taste is very nasty and off putting. Aka/ It resembles the taste and smell like play dough.
The cakes can only be as good as the employees hired to make them. Hiring people with little baking experience because they will work for lower wages can be a problem. JMO.
A lot of the cakes are mostly pre-made anymore and, come frozen. That includes the majority of store bakeries now. Mostly they now, just make birthday cakes. The reason is hardly no one even is hired to work in the store bakeries, another issue we can chalk up to the pandemic. The bad thing is you can tell when, those cakes are frozen and been left out to thaw, the taste and, smell like play dough! Something that, I learned yrs ago when, was at a Pondarosa restaurant and, the workers spilled the beans, they just have a supply in there freezer and, get them out as they need them and would just set them on the buffet and dessert table fully frozen and just let them slowly thaw out all day. The carrot cake and their strawberry cake is fully off putting especially. You are better off knowing how to make these 2 cakes yourself and making your own. Something, I can do both by scratch, and made plenty of that way, you can even use a box cake mix as a short cut and still make it better and fully loaded and it will taste much better and fresher than these bakeries and restaurants!
Costco cakes are amazing. U wouldnt believe its store bought
Great share! Love it! Thanks!😃✨✨✨
I much prefer to make my own cakes from scratch because I can control the sweetness and i know what ingredients go into the batter nothing artificial!!!!!!!!
Love Safeway individual slice cake taste delicious
I begrudgingly tried Walmart after being disgusted by HEB too many times in a row. So glad I did bc they are hands down THE BEST cake decorator in town. The cake was surprisingly good too. Wish I had tried Walmart sooner, but I don't doubt most other locations are terrible which is what deterred me from trying them in the past in the first place. I'm just glad ours happens to be phenomenal
I feel sorry for you if you think walmart has the best cake.......
Thanks for sharing
Mashed has an article on their website which ranks Kroger as the fourth worst grocery store bakery. And Kroger is buying Safeway, which has the best. Guess which way Safeway's quality is going to go 👎
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Publix has great cakes too!
Great video!
After high school, I got a job in a local supermarket(purchased by Safeway way after I quit) in the deli. I was eating baked goods in the bakery and a customer asked for writing on a cake. Told her no one was there right now, but she said it's fine you can do it. Well I started getting asked to do cake writing if I was closing the deli in the future lol
❣️... thanks
Publix subs, cakes and chickens are wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Safeway in Washington takes its bakeries serious. Must be all the rain and coffee. ;)
Oregon as well! But yeah, both states have some top tier baked goods for sure! I’m just saddened how smaller the chocolate chip cookies have become
For some reason, when I have ordered Walmart cakes, they are awful. The cake is dry and flavorless. The icing tastes like poison. However, it’s better when you buy it off the shelf in the store.
Dairy Queen has the best ice cream cake.
ShopRite of Bayville, NJ has excellent cakes.
Safeway is not in every state.
Tom Thumb is similar to Safeway! Carry the same brands!😀
@@usandpluswell, Safeway is actually more like the Northwest version of Albertsons
That’s true! But y’all are always welcome to come to the NW (Washington, Oregon, and Idaho)
Publix cakes used to be heavenly. After the pandemic, they changed. They are the worst cakes ever.
I agree with you about that. I always used to get my kids cakes at Publix. The past few years they were different.
I had a piece of vegan banana bread. Nicest banana bread I've had
Why would anyone throw a cake in the trash? Take it back to the store and get a refund.
Walmarts cake is frozen. They are dry and awful. No taste at all. It is always best to bake one yourself at home. A box of cake mix is $2. I do not understand the hype in grocery store cake. But I forget I live in America where almost everyone is lazy.
Costco cakes are more than $20. They are $25 to 30.
safeway is overpriced with the worst quality
Target's cake is frozen garbage
How about the best and worst bratwurst?
The problem is if you want a good cake do what we do bake your own!! To many lazy people now a days they buy most of their meals out also of course stores love them because they keep them with a big fat bottom line in black I’ve never in my entire life seen so many people that’s can’t cook or bake
That not that’s! That’s life not everyone has the same life, everyone has a different life, people get busy and things get hetic! Not to say busy people don’t take the time to cook and bake! Have you learned to cook and bake yourself, rather than judge and expect things from others and, instead of depending on others to cook and bake for you, why not learn to do it for yourself rather than judge others and, there life situations? Aka/ you just sound like someone whose made at the world. And, you shouldn’t assume things of people that you don’t have no knowledge of everyone. Aka/ look at the word assume and learn what it means!
Yes. Too many lazy ass Americans. Its pathetic.
I prefer to make and decorate cakes myself. I will admit Sam's club cakes are good for a store cake. Festival Foods have pretty good cakes buy they are sloppily iced. The obvious icing ridges make my decorators soul cringe.
Local decorators determine design quality.
sams club is dry and cheap and fake tasting...costco has the same cake at a gazillion percent better quality...sams club is walmart with the same poor quality
first
I wouldn’t trust Target not to slip puberty blockers into the cake!
Good one!
Costco's cakes are still the best. JMO,lol.
