Why Grocery Store Cakes Are the Secret MVP of Kids' Parties

Did you know that the average custom fondant cake costs between $200-500?

That's why we’re huge advocates of grocery store cakes!


Most kids can't even tell the difference between buttercream and modeling chocolate. Children have simple tastes. They want sweet, they want colorful, and they want it now.


The truth is: grocery store cakes are actually delicious. They're fresh, they're moist, and they're made with frosting that actually tastes good. No cardboard-flavoured fondant in sight!


Let's talk waste for a minute. We've witnessed countless parties where elaborate fondant creations end up mostly in the trash. It's a bummer to see both food and money wasted when a simple sheet cake would have done the job perfectly.

The Sweet Benefits of Going Simple

  • Cost-effective: Save hundreds of dollars for other party elements that kids will actually remember

  • Reliable: No last-minute cake disasters from unreliable custom bakers - you can even pick it up the night before

  • Kid-approved: That sweet, simple buttercream is exactly what children love

  • Customizable: Most stores will add personal touches for a small fee OR you can purchase plastic figurines from the dollar store, give them a quick wash and use them as cake decor


Pro tip: Take that money you saved and invest it in amazing entertainment or party favours. Kids will remember the awesome activities or face painter way longer than they'll remember that fondant castle cake!


The best parties focus on fun. Keep it simple, keep it delicious, and keep your wallet happy!
