Calling my PA, OH, WV, IN and MD WWers...Giant Eagle cake?

Danielle, on September 27, 2016 at 3:52 PM Posted in Planning 0 12

Hey all.

If you're familiar with Giant Eagle, the grocery store chain in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Maryland, has anyone eaten or ordered a Giant Eagle wedding cake?

I'm from the Pittsburgh area and looking to explore my options. What were the prices like? Quality of decorating? And most importantly...how did it taste?

    One of my friends from high school is actually a baker at the newer one by the wave pool, Settlers Ridge area in Robinson. I'm in FL now but I got a cake from there in June for my stepmoms bday when I was up....not a wedding cake but it was good. My friend, Amy, posts her cakes on fb though and they look very nice. Sorry I guess I'm not really much help but I can find some of her personal cakes and post pics if you want

    I'm from Ohio, but I've actually never heard of Giant Eagle. Sorry I can't help you! But here's a bump so your thread stays recent. :-D

    I live in Maryland but have never heard of the chain Giant Eagle, and so I have to admit when I read this thread title I assumed you were getting a groom's cake shaped like a giant bald eagle, and I was SO EXCITED!

    Here are pics from my friends fb page that works there. I know Buddy from Cake Boss went to their store and did cakes with them and everything. That's the newer Giant Eagle at Settlers Ridge in Robinson. But like I said I only had a bday cake there but I'm sure they offer samples or tastings whatever

    Of course a real bakery is going to taste better though if it's I your budget. I called Publix, our grocery store, and the cake was only $100 cheaper than a bakery and they only offered the tradition white, chocolate, or marble. The bakery had over 20 flavors to chose from. Good luck in your cake search

    I'm Ohio about an hour from you. I have had their cakes for birthday parties and it wasn't bad. They even did a filling in the middle. I've never done anything for a wedding though.

    Hi, Danielle! I'm also a PGH bride..getting married at Heinz History Center. What part are you from? I've had Giant Eagle cake a million times. I would say it's good -- for grocery store cake, it is definitely my favorite over Kroger, Shop n Save, Costco, Walmart, any other grocery store-type bakery. I didn't know they did wedding cakes. If you're on a budget, that could be good! But i think a true bakery would taste better. What about a small cake from a bakery to cut into and then sheet cakes in the back from giant eagle that is sliced up for guests? I know some girls do this to save money. Hope this helps!
