Costco’s bakery is full of showstoppers, with both seasonal specials and year-round favorites. And because of that, loyal fans always have a stake in what’s going on behind the bakery counter, whether it’s a bagel revamp or a new twist on a classic pastry.
But nothing gets Costco fans talking quite like the cakes—and for good reason. Even though Sam’s Club gets a lot of attention for its beloved bar cakes, just look at the layers on Costco’s Caramel Tres Leches Bar Cake, stacked with caramel custard mousse. Or the White Chocolate Raspberry Round Cake that dropped at Christmastime—you’d be lying if you said you didn’t want a slice of that.
Thanks to Costco’s proven track record of delivering high-quality cakes, every new launch feels like a mini celebration. And the latest launch for summer is no exception.
Costco Brought Back the Peaches and Cream Bar Cake
Costco just brought back a fan-favorite bar cake from last year, and it features one of summer’s best flavor combos: peaches and cream.
Like other Costco bar cakes, this one looks like it belongs in a bakery display window. It’s made with three layers of vanilla cake filled with whipped cream and a sweet peach jam between each layer. The top is finished with a delicate peach glaze and a sprinkle of white chocolate curls for a refined, elegant touch. And frankly, we’re still trying to figure out how they manage to get those cut edges so clean.
Shoppers who’ve tried the cake describe it as “light and fluffy” and “not too sweet”—just what you want in a summer dessert.
“Warning: very deliciously addictive. We’re on cake #3 over here. 20/10 would buy again next time I go to Costco,” wrote another fan.
“Sam’s [Club] could never,” joked another commenter on Instagram.
If you’re anything like me, summer desserts always involve peaches in some way, whether it’s grilled peaches with cream or a crispy peach cobbler topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This cake delivers those nostalgic flavors, but in a more elegant, stylish, and convenient format. It’s easy to serve, easy to eat, and easy to love.
“I bought this yesterday and half is gone already,” one shopper said. “That peach gives it a little sour punch. Great combined with the whipped cream.”
The limited-time dessert is available now for $17.99 (which is cheaper than last year!). Even if Costco cakes aren’t usually on your shopping list, this one definitely looks worthy of a spot in your cart—if not its own special trip.
