Costco Half Sheet Cake Designs and Order Form
Sheet cakes are by and large the easiest and most affordable cake to feed a large crowd, and the Costco Half Sheet Cake designs offer a variety of themes for special occasion cakes as well as designs for upcoming holidays. Or, you can order your Costco half sheet cake without a design and add your own custom design to match your party theme! Both are great options if your looking for a budget priced sheet cake design for your next party or event. Scroll down to see the Costco half sheet cake designs available and download the special order cake form!
Costco half sheet cakes with custom designs need to be special ordered in the bakery in advance, pre-made sheet cakes are not in the bakery refrigerators so these aren’t available to just stop by and pick up. On any given day, you will find chocolate and vanilla round Bakery Costco cakes in the refrigerated case in the bakery – there are generally plain cakes without a design, a seasonal design (for example Footballs around the Superbowl or red/white/blue stars at Fourth of July), and a simple birthday design (usually balloons with “happy birthday”). And you’ll also find cheesecakes, mini cakes, special order deli platters and other prepared desserts.
How Far in Advance Do I Need to Order Costco Sheet Cakes?
The good news on the advanced ordering is that they don’t need a lot of lead time! Yay for that because advance planning isn’t our speciality, lol. The Costco Bakery only needs 24 hours notice for orders with your choice of sheet cake designs.
Depending on the day and time you’re in-store, the bakery department staff may be able to get your custom cake done faster – you can always ask!
