HOW TO ORDER A CAKE FROM SAM'S CLUB
You guys, we went to Sam's Club a few days ago for the first time in YEARS! We met my mom and sister there. She was looking for wedding cakes. Yes, wedding cakes from Sam's Club! We were pleasantly surprised at the store. You know we LOVE Costco but can't get over the prices and variety of Sam's Club cakes. If you are a Costco member you can read about Costco cakes here but we've found that Sam's Club has a lot more variety in the sizes and designs!
Need a party tray to go with your cake? Sam's Club has you covered with many to choose from like the sundried tomato & buffalo chicken wraps combo tray, sliced meat & cheese tray, fruit & cheese tray, and/or chicken salad croissant sandwiches. Learn more about Sam's Club party trays here.
Our local Sam's Club requires you to call in your order or drop off the order form in person. See the pictures below the order forms for more detail on what options are available.

UPDATED JANUARY 2020: Thanks to one of our readers for alerting us that Sam's Club had drastically changed their cake options. We have updated the cake order forms and the video. We didn't want the video to be 15 minutes long so we had to move pretty quickly but if you see a design you like you can pause the video to view longer.

So, how many days ago did you have to order the cake?
Whitney Carlson says
I think Sam's Club asks for 24-48 hours but they also have cakes in the store. I would call your local store just to be sure.
Rochelle says
Hello there, I’m about to order a 2-tier cake from Sam’s and was wondering approximately how tall is each tier? I’m trying to figure out how big or tall the doll figurine/cake topper I should get. Also, were the flowers free? Or did you have to pay extra for them? Thanks so much, love this post, very helpful overall :)!
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Rochelle! I am sorry I do not know the height of each tier but the flowers were free. 🙂
Corina smith says
Do they deliver
Whitney Carlson says
I do not think so but call your local store to double check.
Meredith Chavez says
Do you prefer the whipped or but-r-creme frosting?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Meredith, I personally like the but-r-creme the best!
Rose Berg says
Can you stack (2) 8 inch vanilla cakes and do you have Boston creme filling g. Also is the "30" decoration pick extra?
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Rose! Your best bet would probably be the two-tier cake, I'm not sure if they can stack two of the same size. Our local Sam's Club does not have Boston creme filling 🙁 and our decoration picks are not extra :). However, I would check with your local store to make sure they have the same policies! Good luck!
Kathy criss says
I need a 1/2 sheet cake for a 50 birthday how much
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Kathy, We aren't associated with Sam's Club so I'm not sure how much the 1/2 sheet cake is currently but I believe the full sheet cake is around $22. A 1/2 sheet cake serves 36-48. I would call your local store to get the correct pricing for that.
Elaine Duke says
Thanks for the information! We are hoping for a less-sweet frosting....which one would you suggest?
Thanks!

Jaime T says
Sam’s Club changed a lot of the book last year. They now only offer whipped topping in white or chocolate (brown) only. They also removed more than half the options from the book. A lot of the copyright options are gone. We were bummed when we learned that in a March last year. They still taste great but the whipped topping is amazing and more people eat it over buttercream. The kids were not fans of the richness of buttercream.
Whitney Carlson says
Thanks for the heads up, Jamie! I'll have to take a look at my local store soon and update this post.
Kaylee says
Taste wise, do you prefer Costco cakes or Sam's Club cakes?
Whitney Carlson says
Honestly, they are both very good. I don't personally have a preference. Sam's Club just has more sizes, decoration options, etc to choose from. Costco only has one size and limited designs to choose from.
