Updated October 11, 2026

Compare the best cakes from top stores in one place.

Cakes on this page range from $43 to $140. Sizes include 6-inch and 10-inch options, with flavors such as chocolate, confetti, pumpkin spice, red velvet, and carrot.

Consider the occasion and serving size; a 6-inch cake serves about 8-10 people, while a 10-inch serves 20-25. Look for details like buttercream frosting, fresh fruit, or specialty toppings.

Check if the cake is made with premium ingredients like real cocoa, fresh berries, or seasonal spices, and whether it’s offered as a standard or ‘local’ version, which may affect freshness.
