Which to choose: White Mini Cakes with white buttercream frosting or chocolate buttercream frosting?
The Kirkland Signature White Mini Cake is a very tender cake with a rich frosting. It is delicious! I prefer the chocolate frosting (but I like chocolate more than I like vanilla in general). And yes, I know, the ingredient list isn’t that great but sometimes I want a break from baking.
Costco’s Price and Item Number
The Kirkland Signature White Mini Cake with Buttercream Icing 6-Pack is available at select Costco stores for a limited time. Prices can vary, but it was $7.99 at my local Costco. That makes each mini cake around $1.33. It’s item #1864304 (Chocolate icing) or #43746 (White icing).
