How to Order a Cake from Costco: Everything You Need to Know? ›

We ask that you order at your local Costco warehouse's bakery, as we don't provide online cake-ordering options. Please keep in mind that you'll need to complete an order form, and our bakers require a two-day notice—this is all to ensure that you're getting exactly what you want!

You'll be asked for your pickup date and time. The store asks for 24-hour advance notice on cake orders, but it really is that simple. Costco does not offer online ordering for cakes, and the bakery at the location near us does not have a phone, so all orders must be done in person.

Need a custom cake on short notice? As long as you go in 48 hours (or more) ahead of time, Costco can help out. Few varieties are available online, but for most cakes—and all custom orders—you'll need to visit the bakery in person...in advance.

Cake Orders

Costco warehouse members can pre-order decorated celebration cakes online for collection from the bakery department of your preferred Costco Warehouse. Members can include a customised special message or inscription. A minimum of 48 hours notice is required for all order collections.

Bakers at Costco can pipe lines on top of the cake to create evenly-sized square sections, which acts as a guideline when you go to cut the cake. (So, no more eyeballing your pieces and hoping for the best.) Plus, you're guaranteed 48 pieces per sheet cake, making it easy for you to plan for your guests accordingly.

Round Cakes or Birthday Cakes: The brand offers 10″ white or chocolate round cakes for smaller gatherings, serving about 14 to 16 guests.

As the go-to choice for smaller gatherings, half-sheet cakes can feed 36-48 people. Quarter-sheet or ¼-sheet cakes are more than enough for family occasions, small parties, intimate gatherings, etc., yielding 20-24 portions.

Whether you opt for the white cake filled with vanilla cheesecake mousse or the double chocolate cake, both flavors should be refrigerated before serving because of their perishable ingredients. True to the store's philosophy of buying in bulk, Costco's massive sheet cakes take up a lot of space in the fridge.

Though many retailers might be able to accommodate requests 1 or 2 days prior to the desired pick-up date, the general rule of thumb is that cake orders should be placed a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. The more notice that's given, the more security you'll have that your cake is made just the way you would like.
