I make a carrot cake from scratch that’s delicious and easy to make. Sure, there are ingredients that you don’t want to eat all day everyday, but they definitely enhance the flavor and texture of the cake. It’s good to know Wegmans makes superior carrot cake in case I need one in a hurry.

There are many of us that do not live near Wegman's or Stop and Shop.  Therefore, we do not have access to those fabulous deals.  At the better grocery stores in suburban Minneapolis, cakes in the bakery case can easily cost $40 or more.  They are not nearly as large as the one QVC offered.

I just turned into the main channel to see they were selling carrot cakes for,get this, $58.00 each. Are they crazy? My local Wegmans bakery makes their own Ultimate carrot cake for $23.00,and Betty Crocker has a cake mix one for $.99 cents. I hope people are not that crazy to pay those prices when you cake even make your own,not me

You can hope all you want but some stranger saying I am crazy if I buy a $58 cake goes over like a lead balloon.

How about you bake your .99 cent cake and I will buy my $58 cake...And no I am not crazy. LOL

It has a funny typo in the description.  

• Three layers of cake with ground carrots, golden raisings, chopped walnuts, and applesauce with layers of cream cheese icing🤪

Never had Sweet Lady Jane carrot cake, but one of my ex-bosses would occasionally stop at the WeHo store on his way to work and brought in some of their pies and pastries for staff.  They were some of the most outstanding baked goods I’ve ever had, better even than the famous Sacher torte another ex-boss brought back for staff on his visit to Austria.  Vicarious living through employers!

I never watch the gourmet food shows because of the prices. I would never spend that much on a cake.

I purchased a large 2 layer Carrot Cake from Sam's last year, it was delicious.

First of all, the closest Wegman’s is 400 miles from me so that’s not a practical option.

Secondly, Wegman’s carrot cake is 54 ounces. The one from QVC is nearly twice that size at 6 pounds. In that regard, the price difference is not that great. In fact, I dare say the difference covers shipping.

I've ordered the carrot cake from the Q ... three times.   It's that good ... and serves a large family gathering with some to spare.  

I've had others from Sam's Club, Costco and a local bakery.  The De lizioso Carrot Cake is the best I've ever had.   I already have one in my freezer which I'll serve for Easter or when my son and daughter-in-law visit later this spring.

And no ... I'm not crazy.   My money to spend as I see fit ...
