How to Order a Custom Costco Cake (Can You Do It Online?)
Costco bakeries make custom cakes in round and sheet varieties, but North American locations don’t have an online ordering system. Instead, customers have to fill out an order form by hand and slip it into an order form box at least 1 day before they hope to pick up the cake. International Costco locations (like the UK, Australia, and New Zealand) allow online cake orders on their region-specific Costco sites. If you’re a North American customer, read on to learn exactly how to order a cake from Costco, which cake options you have to choose from, and what stores do offer online cake orders.
How do you place a Costco cake order?

How to Order a Cake from Costco

Submit a completed order form in person at your local Costco. In North America, Costco bakeries only accept physical cake orders that are slipped into a special order box. On the provided form, specify the following: If you want a 10 in (25 cm) round cake (that serves 16) or a half sheet cake (that serves 48) If you want a white cake with vanilla icing and vanilla cheesecake mousse filling or a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate mousse filling If you want a specific design: colored roses (specify colors if so) or all-white roses; balloons; candles; a rainbow; a baby shower theme; a Costco Bear; a flag; a cross; or a seasonal design (specify the event, like graduation) If you want any writing on the cake (and what color the writing should be) Your contact information (your name, requested pick-up date, and requested pick-up time) Costco needs at least 1 full day to get your cake ready.

Does Costco accept online cake orders?

Costco doesn’t accept online cake orders in North America. If you live in the U.S., you need to visit a physical Costco store to place your order. Customers based in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand can order cakes on their region-specific Costco site, though. International locations that offer online orders request that orders be placed 48 hours before the desired pick-up time.

You can order online through a third party at some Costco locations. Certain Costcos will let you order specialty cakes and desserts from third-party companies on the Costco website, but these are typically more expensive than their own bakery’s rates. Still, ordering a third-party cake online for delivery might be more feasible if you don’t live near a Costco location.

Costco Cake Flavors & Designs

Flavors: vanilla or chocolate Currently, Costco’s bakery only offers chocolate or vanilla cakes. The white/vanilla cake automatically comes with white/vanilla icing and vanilla cheesecake mousse filling, while the chocolate cake automatically comes with chocolate icing and chocolate mousse filling. Marble/mixed cakes, unfortunately, aren’t offered on the order form.

Decorations: premade designs Costco offers several design options for their round and sheet cakes, like colored roses, all-white roses, candles, a Costco Bear, a rainbow, a flag, balloons, a baby shower theme, a cross, or a special seasonal design. If requesting colored roses, specify which colors you’d like the roses to be. When ordering the seasonal design, be sure to specify what event your cake is for (like graduation). You can also request that the cake come pre-scored so it’s easier to slice. International customers have a wider range of designs and themes to choose from, like dinosaurs, golf, or rugby.

Writing: customized message Costco bakery employees can write a short greeting on the cake, if you'd like. Specify what you'd like the cake to say as well as what color icing you'd like when you fill out the order form.

How much do Costco cakes cost?

Where can you order a cake online?

National grocery store chains Major chains like Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and the like offer personalized cake orders from their bakery departments. These orders can be placed on the website without having to visit a store in person. If you’re looking to order ice cream cake, chains like Dairy Queen offer custom online orders. Round and sheet ice cream cakes are often available in the frozen section of many grocery stores, too.

Specialty shops Specialty shops like Milk Bar, Edible Arrangements, GoldBelly, and Haagen-Dazs all offer custom cake orders online. While specialty brands tend to be a little pricier than big-box store bakeries, they can be a great option if you’re looking for a special, luxurious treat!
