00:00It's the battle of the bakeries,
00:01Costco versus Sam's cupcakes.
00:04Here are the two side by side.
00:05The Sam's comes with a white frosting.
00:08Costco has a buttercream frosting.
00:09So we'll start with Sam's.
00:11Feel like it's a little cupcake with a lot of frosting.
00:14So I'm just gonna kinda do what I've seen on TikTok.
00:17The bottom comes to top for a better ratio.
00:20The frosting is so weak, but that cake is good.
00:24Sam's cake looks homemade.
00:26It doesn't look like it came from a box.
00:27Let's see what Costco has.
00:31Costco frosting is better for sure.
00:33The cake is also really good,
00:35but I think the cake is better at Sam's.
00:37It's just like slightly drier than the Sam's version.
00:41Time to eat some chocolate cake.
00:42Sam's is brownie batter, Costco chocolate mousse.
00:45And here's what they look like on the inside.
00:47I like the dense looking crumb of the Sam's cake.
00:53Mmm, that is delicious.
00:55It is like perfectly balanced,
00:57it's not too rich despite the color.
01:00But delicious chocolate taste and like in that frosting kind of has like tiny crunchy bits,
01:07which reminds me of Texas sheet cake.
01:10And I love Texas sheet cake.
01:12Costco definitely feels like a drier crumb to it.
01:19Totally different flavor.
01:21Something about this chocolate tastes more like just pure chocolate and this one tastes like chocolate but mixed with some
01:28other things.
01:29Neither cake is too sweet, so it does balance with the sweet frosting, but I'm going to have to give
01:34the chocolate cake battle to Sam's.
01:37Both stores have a variety of bar cakes, and they both have the carrot cake bar cake.
01:44The Costco version looks a little more homemade, looks a little less perfect.
01:48This one looks a little more professional kind of factory.
01:51They both are very similar in the sense that I can see pineapple, carrot, and the nuts in there.
02:00Flavor's really good. Cream cheese frosting is really good.
02:02Moisture is a little lacking, which I'm surprised by, Sam's.
02:06But everything else is very well balanced, and it's not an overly sweet cake.
02:09Well, this is the kind of cake I like to eat for breakfast.
02:12Costco.
02:15I thought it was going to be moister than that, but it's not.
02:18And you can see all those carrots, it should be really moist.
02:21So maybe this is like a one-off from each of them.
02:24But, y'all, when it comes to cake, Sam's is just winning.
