Anyone have any ideas of a place to get a good, relatively inexpensive custom-decorated sheet cake that will feed about 75-100 in the area? Thanks in advance...

My neighbor had a cake from Amphora at her baby shower. It was really good.

Amphora Bakery


I had a sheetcake from Wegmans for my birthday last year. I really liked it. Other suggestions would be Sam's Club and Costco.

Default Cake

Giant makes surprisingly good cakes. I was tasked for a grad. cake and someone suggested Giant. Who knew?

I bought a custom cake at Amphora bakery once. It was out of this world.

I think it was white chocolate mousse raspberry or something like that. Absolutely to die for.

I've always liked the Costco cakes. But to be fair I've never tried Amphora. Hmm, sounds like it's time for a taste test. Now all I need is a reason to buy two sheet cakes. Any suggestions for something to celebrate?

Thanks all for your input. Hubby went with Wegmans -- they were able to customize it and the price was right. Will let you know how it tastes
