The Costco Seasonal Dessert Customers Say You Should Never Buy: ‘1/10’ And ‘Hated It’

Costco is a pretty universally loved retail wholesale store, with quality items at great prices, from grocery items to furniture, and appliances to clothing. However, one of Costco’s newest bakery items has missed the mark, according to customer reviews. Shoppers are calling the Caramel Apple Mini Cakes “not good at all” and “very dry” with a “terrible artificial caramel taste.”

This just goes to show that not every item can be a winner—even at Costco. Luckily, there are a plethora of accounts on Instagram dedicated to reviewing the newest Costco items so you can know which are better left on the shelf, including these Caramel Apple Mini Cakes. Find more of what Costco shoppers have to say about this seasonal dessert.

With ‘caramel apple’ being one of the most popular flavors of the fall, shoppers had high hopes for the new seasonal dessert. However, many were ultimately disappointed. The mini cakes cost $8.99 and come in a package of six—which seems like a great deal. Unfortunately, though, while they’re found in the beloved bakery section among many fan-favorite items like the Mini Carrot Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and Peanut Butter Chocolate Cream Pie, this item misses the mark.
