Please help! Birthday cake question…

[dancingallnight1]

really hoping someone can help! Basically, I’m on my period and sometimes at the start of my period I get an insane craving for birthday cake. Like the really sickly ones you used to get at birthday parties- the moist sponge, vanilla buttercream with jam in the middle type of cake (not fondant icing) I’ve tried buying a few supermarket birthday cakes but been really disappointed because they’re all so dry. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good birthday cake I could get to satisfy these cravings?? There’s a Costco in the nearest city I could drive to as apparently their sheet cakes are fab but I don’t have a card so I don’t know if I could even get in, and I also don’t know if they even sell them off the shelf or if it’s pre order only.

Please someone help me and recommend something lol I’m desperate for birthday cake

Do you have a cakebox near you? This might be what you are looking for:

Costa cakes are really dry and don’t have any middle filling. They’re caramel slices etc are good though.

Do you have a Farmhouse Inn (pub chain) near you? They do cake to go and they look amazing!

Try Sainsbury's, they do a selection of birthday madeira cakes, different designs and tops but the same cake underneath. That's the closest I've found to what I think you want. I often crave the same cake!

M&S are the best cakes from a supermarket.

Amazing thread @dancingallnight1

LOVE A BIT OF CAKE.
Tesco, M and S or Sainsburys are all good IMO.

I had the Waitrose Floral cake recently and it was lovely.

Costco cakes are great.

They are sickly sweet and very artificial tasting. Most supermarkets do traybake style cakes. If you want something a little nicer I would go to M and S or the Co-op.

I hope you get your kitchen sorted out soon. IMO a home made cake beats a shop bought one hands down, although I am partial to a Colin the caterpillar cake

I have a much cheaper tried and tested solution to this! Most supermarkets do an iced victoria sponge bar cake, like this one

Another vote for m&s, although I'm more of a fondant gal

Costco 'basic' rectangular cakes are outstanding and they're bloody HUGE and so cheap.

Wanting a costco cake now.

1. Costco do sell them off the shelf
2. They are bloody huge cakes and whilst cheap if it's just for you it would be such a waste.
3. Are you a business owner, chartered? Qualified? You could get membership
4. do you have any friends with membership who can get you in.
5. Costco is very dangerous if you haven't been in before - you will definitely spend far more than you intend to.

Good luck finding a cake 🎂
