A Supermarket That Serves Great Cake

Supermarkets are not the first place that most people go to pick up a cake. Most of their bakery departments do not have a wide selection of cakes and do not taste like they came from a bakery. Instead the cakes often taste dry and have a lack of flavor. When picking out a cake, people usually prefer a bakery even if it means driving 15 or 20 minutes.  

Stop and Shop is one supermarket that has surprisingly good cakes. For a recent birthday, we had picked up a cookies and cream dark chocolate cake topped with Oreos at our local Stop and Shop. It was the closest store and we did not feel like driving all the way to the bakery.  We just hoped that the birthday person would not be disappointed with the cake. This was the first time we had ever gotten a cake from Stop and Shop.

To everyone’s surprise the cake tasted amazing. It was moist and had just the right amount of cream. I loved the cookie crumbs on the edge of the cake slice. However, I was a little disappointed that Oreos were soft. Hard Oreos would have added a nice crunch to the cake. The baker should have also put more than a few Oreos on the cake. A cookies and cream cake needs to have a lot of cookies, not a few.

The cake itself was well put together with the frosting and cookie crumbs spread out evenly throughout the cake. It was stored in a plastic cake container, and was portable and easy to carry. The container kept the cake fresh for the two days it lasted.

The next time you need a cake and you have a Stop and Shop nearby, I highly recommend stopping by their bakery.  The bakery offered a nice selection of cakes and I’m almost positive you are going to love the cake you choose.
