I saw the cutest cupcake cake at Meijer for $12. It was a Christmas tree and was done very nicely and didn't have the typical mountain of frosting seen on grocery store cupcakes. It's been a long time since I've had Meijer cake so I can't comment on the taste. They're cakes used to be ok.

Just thought I'd give those of you that do cupcakes heads up.

So funny! I just gave a similar idea to someone about a cupcake cake shaped like a Christmas tree. We don't have those stores down here. Have you found that most of the chain type of stores cakes are dry? Everyone that's eaten one says they really don't taste that well. I wonder if they bake these themselves or do they have them shipped in to them?

I've never been served a piece of dry cake. It has been like 5yrs since I've had Meijer cake, but it was not dry. It tasted like regular birthday cake. I remember their frosting was not sicky sweet.

I had a wonderful cake from Sams a couple of years ago. It was for a big party and everyone loved the cake. We'd all eaten a full meal, but made room for the cake.

Kroger cake used to be just awful-one giant chemical taste and sicky sweet frosting. They've improved, but still are no where as good as Sams.

I was recently at a bday party and the Walmart cake looked so gross that 1/2 the guests passed on the cake. It looked like a thick hunk of bad poundcake. I think it may have still been a bit frozen. It just didn't look right.

Forgot to add: Most grocery store cakes just taste like cakemix to me. No dryness and familiar flavors. The Walmart cake really caught me off guard cause it looked so strange. There was no fluff to that cake.

It's the grocery store icing that turns off most people I know. Most adults I know leave the 2inches of frosting on the plate.
