Wow, I just called the Cake Shop to check on the price of a cake. For a half sheet cake with a Hello Kitty design and polka dots around it (it is of one the pictures that they have online) it will cost $110 for half a sheet size. That's crazy!

That's why I am friends with Betty. 89 cents for the mix, $1.50 for the frosting, $5 for some ice cream, tons of friends and games, and that makes the best party ever. I can't imagine spending that kind of money on a kid's cake, but to each their own.  |

I'd agree with you about Mrs Betty, but honestly I'm not very handy with a frosting spatula!
My personal pick is Costco if I have pay for it out of my own pocket vs company.  good value and yummy cake ! |

Agree...$110 for a cake...and someone is not getting married? You can get two tanks of gas for that!
BTW: Second/Third on Costco (great chocolate cakes!). |

Yes, I love Lucy's. I grew up on it. I am way on the other side of SA now, so it would be a pain to drive and pick the cake up. I may be able to get my dad to do it, though.

I have used Nadlers now for 2 years for cakes. They are awesome! If price isn't an object go w/Nadlers. In March we did a not sure if 1/2 or full sheet but it was for over 40 people. It was a huge cake w/Buzz Lightyear & Woody. It was a marble cake w/chocolate mousse filling & whipped frosting. It was delicious everyone wanted to know where we bought it. It was $68.
Lucys are delicious cakes too, my wedding cake was from there. But I like Nadlers better & is closer.

I would have to agree about Costco for the price and the taste. You get that big ol' cake for something like $16.99. They do not have a lot of choices but the kids never seem to mind.
I always get the cheesecake filling, with either chocolate or vanilla cake, with cream cheese frosting. mmmmm....... it is yummy. |

I would definitely go with Costco. We always get their cakes for birthdays and other celebrations at work. The chocolate cake with cheesecake filling is sooo good!!
