They added: "This cake is outrageously good."
8. Orange Dreamsicle Cheesecake
This year, Costco's bakery sections have introduced a new Orange Dreamsicle Cheesecake, as reported by shoppers on social media. This decadent treat features a blend of orange and vanilla cheesecake batter, a delicious graham cracker crust, and a smooth whipped topping. The popular Instagram account @costcohotfinds notes that this impressive cheesecake tips the scales at nearly five pounds. "The whipped topping is so smooth and creamy.
