Star, Shaws, stoppy, Roche, they'll all be good. Supermarket cakes are honestly great.

Whichever store is closest to you! Wegman’s and Roche Bros will probably be better quality than Shaws or Stop & Shop, but most kids will love any supermarket cake. Market Basket will also have plenty of good options.

I missed Shaws but Roche had some good ones but nothing overly “kid” same for wegmans, they had some sheet cakes but super simple … I ended up going with my pal Betty Crocker :) Im not saying it looked great but it was chocolate cake with frosting and they were 12yos :)

Go to BJs or Costco, show up with a massive cake, every kid gets a 1 sqft. piece!

These are great! For grocery stores I think wegmans makes the best cake

Whole Foods is probably the best quality.

Thank you ! I gave up after 3 tries and baked it myself. A total fail I assure you but the kids didnt notice (i think)

Pretty much all major grocery chains will have this, but getting staff to add words may be a problem, but the confection aisle will have the needed colored gels to do that. Stop & Shop, Shaw, Star, Roche, Wegmans, Market Basket, etc. BJ and Costco require a paid membership (about $100/yr on average) to shop their shelves.

Staff at wegmans were awesome trying to accommodate a cake for me but it was too big, not quite right but the bakery staff were darlings♥️
