so, was at the brand new Sam's Club that just opened where I lived.
Of course had to wander by the cake dept.
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!
they're going more "up-scale"
small two pound (about 4 inch layers stacked 2 high) covered in choice of White Chocolate or Dark Chocolate Ganache!!!!! For $7!
and super 3 layer tall round fancy strawberry cakes, coconut cakes and carrot cakes (not the usual sheet). $11
remember they get their cakes in frozen (so i was told by a former employee there)
we are not in competition with them..we have our own customer base.
They also have gumpaste sprays on their cakes at my local Sam's Club. I tell my customers all the time, "I *could* make your gumpaste flowers, but it's cheaper for you if I buy them." and then I purchase them froma company that has them made in Indonesia.
I feel your pain. Our local chain grocery store, Genaurdis, is now offering wedding cakes and has a dummy set up where people can poke at it (and they have, believe me). It looks pretty enough, but bleh -- frozen cake and Crisco icing for a wedding cake does not do it for me!
