Party Planners Rejoice: Costco Cake Delivery is Officially Here

If your favorite part of birthday planning involves dodging crowd traffic just to drop off a paper order form, we have some bittersweet news: your store run is officially canceled. With the launch of online Costco cake delivery, you can now order the legendary 10-inch round cakes, massive sheet cakes, and party platters right from your couch.

From Paper Forms to Doorstep Delivery

For years, locking in a customized Costco bakery order meant a mandatory trip to the warehouse to manually fill out a physical paper slip. Costco took a step toward modern times by testing online pickup back in February, but their latest move with Instacart changes the game entirely. Through Instacart’s main app and Costco’s Same-Day delivery portal, members can now customize, order, and receive custom bakery and deli items straight to their front door.

What’s on the Virtual Party Menu?

The new delivery lineup covers almost everything you need to host a crowd without breaking a sweat:

  • Custom Cakes: Pick your size, shape, and flavor profile, choose from pre-set designs, and add custom text up to 30 characters in your color of choice.

  • Deli Platters: Party staples like crowd-favorite sandwich platters, shrimp trays, and fresh fruit spreads are all available for online scheduling.

“We are thrilled to bring Costco’s beloved custom bakery and deli items to delivery for the very first time,” noted Ryan Hamburger, Chief Commercial Officer at Instacart, highlighting how the feature aims to take the hassle out of event prep.

How to Order for Your Next Event

Getting your party spread delivered is as simple as opening your app:

  • Log into Instacart or visit the Costco Same-Day site.

  • Head over to the Bakery & Deli sections to customize your order.

  • Set your delivery time, add your custom cake messaging, and let the driver handle the heavy lifting.

No long checkout lines, no paper slips, and no maneuvering a giant sheet cake through a crowded parking lotβ€”just fresh party food delivered on your schedule.
