When I was looking for wedding cakes I went everywhere. I stumbled upon quite the unusual find. A grocery store that makes wedding cakes.
Giant Eagle offers wedding cakes in a variety of flavors. I sampled the almond cake and was impressed by how moist it was. It was light and fluffy and delicious.
They offer a lot of different cake designs just like the wedding cake specialtists. Their cakes were actually quite affordable compared to what I actually ended up paying.
The reason why I did not end up going with Giant Eagle is that I was not impressed with their frosting. It was very very sweet and I just could not stomach it.
Giant Eagle cakes are definately a must see if you are planning a wedding on a budget. Unfortunately if you are a frosting snob like I am it just will not work out.
Did you know that all revenue a review earns monthly is split with the voters that voted for that review each month?
I love wedding cakes... this sounds like a great one!
Sounds like the frosting was a tradition buttercreme. This is usually the type of frosting a store like this would make and yes, it is very sweet.
I really dislike frosting to begin with, but this sounds overly sweet...no thanks! This is great information for those on a budget for the wedding. I think it is a hidden treasure.
I worked for Giant for 8 years and even thoughtwe sold Wedding cakes for one reason or another in the 8 years I was there, we never sold one.
I actually got my wedding cake from there and loved it but I love sweet icing it was very pretty and was very reasonable.
Sounds like a great cake. I had my cake made at a local grocery store and it was wonderful. Super review1
This sounds like a very nice cake. Thanks for sharing.
It sounds like this would be a great place to get a wedding cake if you were on a budget and couldn't afford to be a frosting 'snob' (lol). However, I find frosting to be one of the best parts of a cake, so I think I'd be picky about it too :)
I never thought of Giant Eagle for wedding cakes. They do make good cakes! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but the cake sounds really good. Thank you for sharing the information. Good review!!
