5 Things to Know About Costco's Custom Cakes Before You Order

From birthday parties to weddings, there are very few special occasions where cake wouldn't be a welcome addition. Those classic desserts are grandiose enough to work as a beautiful centerpiece at any major celebration.

Choosing to order a cake from Costco is only one of several decisions you'll have to make before you pick up your custom dessert.

Costco currently offers two cake flavors: a white cake with a white icing and cheesecake mousse filling, and a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate mousse filling.

While members do have the power to choose the flavor, size, and writing on their custom cakes, their chances of getting a custom design at the warehouse club are slim to none.

One of the biggest draws to shopping at a members-only grocer like Costco is the bargain prices—and that perk extends to its custom cake services.

In order to order a custom Costco cake, members will need to trek over their local warehouse since the retailer does not accept requests online or over the phone.

Don't head over to your local Costco expecting to leave with a custom cake if you haven't already placed your order.

The cake ordering sheet advises customers to give the Costco bakery one day of advance notice for baking and decorating these personalized desserts.
