**What does YOUR walmart charge for a full sheet?!?!** - Page 5

post #61 of 69

I am thinking that they're "full size" sheetcake is not going to actually feed 96 people though.  A full size at walmart is something like 10x16....

I shows two year old grocery store cupcakes. They look just as they did the day they were bought, funny story. I don't think anyone would buy a store bought cake after reading this

A full sheet at Walmart in my town is $35 and is 16x24. I worked at the bakery for four yours and the previous posters are correct when they say that Walmart sells cake at a loss. I did the ordering for my department.  A case of six 1/2 sheet cakes cost the store $120.

Your right, they get bulk frozen cakes and thaw, along with pre-made icing, that is nasty, I worked for them for a split second before I came to my senses, they don't care what the cakes look like, they just want you to push them out, I happier to do my own with quality ingredients and if my friends and family wnat them I do them......

I find this hard to believe.  I don't know who your Walmart ordered from, but I know most Walmarts order from true wholesalers and pay in the $38-$40 range for six 1/2 sheet cakes.

No walmart does in fact make their own cakes. A very good friend of mine works at a walmart bakery and she is one of them that makes cakes. She tried to open a bakery of her own but in our small town it wasn't paying. She workes in a bigger town at walmart and they are amazing!! I wouldn't buy a cake from any baker but walmart. Never once have we had a dry cake EVER!! Those of you who are bashing you are just doing that to be cruel. They are inexpensive and a great product.

"Make" and "bake can be 2 different things.  Are you telling us that your friend cracks eggs and fills pans with batter? Or just pulls the cake from the freezer, icing, from the bucket, and assembles and decorates a cake.

I have worked at Biggs, Remke, Meijer and Walmart. I hated every last one of them, and I had to wear a coat into the freezer, haul out big heavy boxes of frozen cake and slop crappy icing on them, smear coloring on them as fast as possible and sling them into case.

There is NO FREAKING WAY that anyone at any Walmart cracks an egg, measures anything, or bakes any cakes.

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)
