Before Ordering From Walmart's Bakery, You Should Know This About Its Cakes - Tasting Table

"On Reddit, one customer complained, "The ones I have tried taste to me like just pure sugar. Doesn't matter if it's lemon, chocolate, vanilla." Another said the frosting "has a cheap taste." The reviews on Walmart's own site are even harsher, with nearly 40% of reviewers giving the cakes two stars or less. One buyer admitted, "The cake is absolutely beautiful, but [it's] one of the worst I've ever tasted". Another, said it was so sweet they "couldn't even eat a very small piece.""

"Then there are cakes that take pride in being simple with a basic sponge, sugary icing, and are sweet through and through. Walmart's bakery cakes would like to fit into that second category, but according to countless customer reviews, they fall into a third, less enviable one. So before you go ordering from Walmart's bakery, know that the cakes are often so sugary that many deem them inedible."

Many customers report that Walmart bakery cakes are overwhelmingly sweet, with frosting that tastes cheap and cakes described as "only sugar." Nearly 40% of reviewers give the cakes two stars or less, and multiple buyers note that visually appealing cakes can taste terrible. Reports include instances of cakes being so sweet they were barely eaten and ultimately thrown away, leading customers to call the purchases disappointing and poor investments.
