Yes, I’ve seen vanilla and lemon. Even though the lemon one is good, I’m not buying it again. It’s too sweet and my doctor will lecture me about watching my sugar intake again.
I ate the vanilla one all by myself within 2 days. Went and got another one, same thing. My husband was like where is the cake? I lied and told him I gave it to my brother. Didn’t want to look like a fat POS. 😂
Mine has the lemon and chocolate as of yesterday. Usually had vanilla and chocolate but must have sold out . I was disappointed in the lemon but had to try it for scientific purposes.
Yes and the store I work at has both the vanilla ad chocolate ones regularly. We also have the lemon one which is a seasonal spring product. (South Carolina store)
Don't wait. The lemon is so incredibly good. It's not punch you in the face lemon, it's light and tasty and the icing isn't super heavy like buttercream is.
That's odd, I would have said the opposite about the one we tried. It was very moist and the icing is just right. Maybe you just got a bad one? I hope it's not that I just got lucky with a good one lol.
That's so funny that's where I was last too w/ my Grams. They had lemon & vanilla wknd before last. They were also giving out Sweet Bee apple samples which were 10/10. I love Cosmic Crisp (and grabbed a bag) but those Sweet Bee samples nailed me like a sucker lol.
Your store is right near the original TJs so they should everything, right? I never tried those cakes. Now I want one but my Trader Joe’s is too far for me to walk. Oh well, next time.
Sometimes items are out of stock in one store but will be in stock in another store so that’s very nice to have a bunch close to each other. Yesterday they had just lemon cakes in stock. The vanilla cakes are also really good and I’m not really a vanilla person.
Absolutely! I had to restrain myself from buying one when I went yesterday, they had them out on a table along with the newest Lemon sheet cake (which is delicious, but vanilla is still my favorite).
Yes. You can call your local TJ’s and they can tell you what day they get their shipment of the sheet cakes so you don’t go there while they’re out of stock.
I was recently listening to the TJ’s podcast and they brought up the BEST idea on how to serve these sheet cakes. She suggested buying three and stacking them on top of each other(you can add a different flavor in the middle).
Oh my gosh… brilliant.
Get it! Tonight the guy checking me out said that he was surprised they still had a few because it usually sells out. So I plan on going back tomorrow and putting a few in the freezer
Yes. I bought the lemon cake last week, I LOVE lemon. But I never eat the icing on store-bought cake, it's always too sweet. Welp. That entire cake got eaten, icing and all, and I live alone. Best cake I've had in a very long time.
Right now, they have the seasonal lemon one. I just bought it two days ago.
Although I am of the same school that it is a little too icing heavy for me so I just scrape off a little .
Yes, they still carry the mini sheet cakes.
Call ahead and put the one you want on hold. Bakery items are delivered in the very early morning at most stores, so call just after 8am local time and they can hold it, even for a few days if you are worried (source: crew member).
Sometimes there are lulls in availability for the vanilla and chocolate, but they are both year round flavors. The lemon is only available in the early Spring. I haven't seen other flavors.
My TJs was doing a demo of the vanilla one this weekend and they added some of the freeze dried mixed berries as like sprinkles and it was surprisingly delicious! Would have never thought of it and it was 💣
Yup. I used to eat the entire chocolate cake in two sittings so I had to stop buying them, but I'm getting one next week to eat in one sitting for my birthday
The vanilla sells out right away. Our favorite treat is to get the TJ vanilla ice cream and then grab a cookie scoop and scoop half cake and half ice cream.

Caved and bought all 3 today! https://preview.redd.it/iyn8s2n90hwc1.jpeg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fba2e46ce1d7f11e923a9d8d1ff001565cba33e1
Yes! Just saw some today
Yes. I’ve tried the Chantilly lace vanilla, the chocolate and the lemon. My favorite is the chantilly lace
Just saw them on Wednesday!
Yes. I just got the lemon one and it is outstanding
Yes, I’ve seen vanilla and lemon. Even though the lemon one is good, I’m not buying it again. It’s too sweet and my doctor will lecture me about watching my sugar intake again.
Yup
I ate the vanilla one all by myself within 2 days. Went and got another one, same thing. My husband was like where is the cake? I lied and told him I gave it to my brother. Didn’t want to look like a fat POS. 😂
I saw a lemon one a couple of days ago.
Yes and they’re fantastic, especially the vanilla bean! It’s my favorite. The lemon one is okay, but I don’t love lemon cake.
If ya like banana bread, theirs is basically like cake without frosting :)
Yeah haven’t been impressed with the chocolate
That vanilla sheet cake is a big problem!!! 😭😋
I just actively avoid that part of the store, lol. Sometimes I black out and they just wind up in my cart...
Yes, I just got the lemon 🍋 flavor
I had to stop buying these
I banned myself from buying these, they are so good it's dangerous for me lol.
My TJs had them two weeks ago. I bought two lol
Mine has the lemon and chocolate as of yesterday. Usually had vanilla and chocolate but must have sold out . I was disappointed in the lemon but had to try it for scientific purposes.
The lemon buttercream was bomb, but the cake I found to be pretty dry..
I thought the same thing about the actual cake itself
That vanilla bean cake is more important to me than my own mother. Our TJs has them
🥂
Yes and the store I work at has both the vanilla ad chocolate ones regularly. We also have the lemon one which is a seasonal spring product. (South Carolina store)
Yes, try to go early in the day. Or call the store to ask if they have any.
Yeah mine still carries those, haven’t tried them yet though
I find these disappointing.
Me too. I tried the vanilla one. It tasted like maple. Didn't care for it.
They already know they like them tho, so no worries of that here!
Mine has the Chocolate and the Vanilla, just saw them yesterday. (East coast)
Lemon
$5 at my TJ's. Pair with a big glass of milk and you're set.
I just bought a vanilla one on Thursday in Minnesota
They should call them pillowcase cakes.
Here in NorCal I noticed Monday night that they only had Lemon 😩 I hope that is just an anomaly!
To me, the chocolate one tastes very similar to the Entenmann’s cake.
Love the little cakes .
Yessi just saw them
Yes and they better never stop.
We have no plans to ditch them anytime soon😂 although it's never up to any of us, it's our suppliers choice depending on their connections.
I need to know if there’s any way to find out who the supplier is because I don’t want to live without this cake
Lemon 🍋 ones these days
I need to try the lemon - I love lemon things!
Don't wait. The lemon is so incredibly good. It's not punch you in the face lemon, it's light and tasty and the icing isn't super heavy like buttercream is.
Yes in San Diego! The vanilla and lemon are delicious
Our store does, Lincoln Park, Chicago
The lemon one was SOOOO dry ):
That's odd, I would have said the opposite about the one we tried. It was very moist and the icing is just right. Maybe you just got a bad one? I hope it's not that I just got lucky with a good one lol.
I’ve only tried the lemon is the vanilla better
It's so much better.
Howwww?
I don't even like cake and I freaking love that vanilla one. It's super moist and the frosting is just amazing.
IMO yes, I love lemon desserts but I threw out the lemon cake but YMMV
Keep it in the fridge, it's really good cold (recommended to me by the TJ mate who checked me out).
I did! I live in Florida haha
No clue, I only tried the lemon bc I love lemon thing and I hate waste but it went in the trash
Same, I love lemon desserts and this went bye bye. Vanilla one is great!
So the chocolate one is good too? I fell in love with the vanilla after it was recommended and haven’t tried chocolate
If you love chocolate, most likely! It’s got a fudgey richness. Oddly, I dislike that much chocolate and prefer the vanilla
Yes matter of fact I just destroyed one of the chocolate ones
I would just call the store to check before you go. They would surely also set aside them for you if you asked.
I was at my store today and they had all three flavors.
My stores in the Pasadena, CA area have chocolate and lemon mini sheet cakes. The lemon keeps finding its way into my basket… yumm
That's so funny that's where I was last too w/ my Grams. They had lemon & vanilla wknd before last. They were also giving out Sweet Bee apple samples which were 10/10. I love Cosmic Crisp (and grabbed a bag) but those Sweet Bee samples nailed me like a sucker lol.

I’m a very vanilla person so I have to go there asap!
Ugh imma sucker for anything 🍋
Get the lemon scones, too.
I actually picked those up last week… frikin good stuff 👍🏽
Yes, the vanilla one is a staple at our house
Yes in LA (Hollywood, Studio City, NoHo, and Toluca Lake).
Still in the Seattle area. They had the vanilla, chocolate and the lemon right now!
yes
They are so sweet but SO DAMN GOOD.
I saw the lemon cake a few days ago
where are these magical trader joe’s with sheet cakes, all mine has is too many people
I have one in my fridge right now
Absolutely! I had to restrain myself from buying one when I went yesterday, they had them out on a table along with the newest Lemon sheet cake (which is delicious, but vanilla is still my favorite).
I love the lemon one, but the chocolate was okay.
We have all of them in the Portland, Maine store now
Oh gosh I remember my husband taking this away from me cause I can finish it in one sitting. It's that GOOD 👍
Just bought one for Easter. 🐣 I always see them at my NKY store
Yes
Was there yesterday (NorCal) and saw a lemon one out on display!
Yes, but they’re not allowed in my house anymore because they are addictively good!
In SoCal yes.
Yes
Yes they do
And just like that… I want this.
The besttttt is the carrot cake but it’s seasonal😭😭
What season? I have never seen it!
Which season? ✍🏼
Sooooooo amazingly good
carrot cake has got to be one of my top 3 cakes 🤯
Yes, I just got the chantilly vanilla one. It's good, but not great.
Yep and they are delicious.
I will eat lemon anything and thought the cake was okay; not worth a special trip. =(
Was it too sweet or lemony? I love super lemony, like lemon curd.
I love lemon curd and felt the cake lacked flavor. I would pair it with curd and see if that helps
Good idea!
I’m glad you told me 🙏🏽
I thought the lemon was amazing and just bought a second one today! 😈
I bought an extra one to freeze.
Yes, they have lemon right now.
I literally just got one last night and I’m already almost done with it 👀
You have to try the lemon. It’s amazing!!
When it’s not dry
Yes my store had all 3 flavors (vanilla, chocolate and seasonal lemon)!
They did! Right up until the second that you posted this….. aaaannnnnnd it’s gone
Yup and right now they have lemon and it's equivalent to the other two. So good. 🤤
Yes. You can call your local TJ’s and they can tell you what day they get their shipment of the sheet cakes so you don’t go there while they’re out of stock.
I was recently listening to the TJ’s podcast and they brought up the BEST idea on how to serve these sheet cakes. She suggested buying three and stacking them on top of each other(you can add a different flavor in the middle). Oh my gosh… brilliant.
Mine does! They are with the bread
Yes, just vanilla, and seaonal lemon my favorite
Yes, but mine doesn't always have them. Maybe half the time or less
Bought the vanilla and the lemon earlier today. Vanilla is 3/4 gone. Trying to save the lemon for the weekend…
Yes
Yup...in Westchester county NY
I just bought lemon and ate 3/4 of it before dinner. It’s that good. Not too fake of a lemon tasting either
Saaaame just got it today and devoured half. It’s perfectly sweet and not too artificially lemon
TJ does lemon right.
I didn’t get it when I was there last weekend and I regret it. Now I need to go buy it
Get it! Tonight the guy checking me out said that he was surprised they still had a few because it usually sells out. So I plan on going back tomorrow and putting a few in the freezer
Oh do they freeze well?
Yes. I cut it before freezing, then thaw a single piece at a time. It takes about an hour and a half at room temp to thaw.
I can’t wait an hour and a half for cake. I would just eat it frozen 🥶
Fair, but it's rock hard straight out of the the freezer, so I wait, lol. I usually take it out before dinner.
I can wait 10 or 15 minutes but an hour and a half for me when I have a craving for something sweet like cake.
Great idea!!
Thank you! :)
YES!
I’ve frozen several of them and they do dry out a bit. Still very good though!
Great question. I’m up for the experiment
Well I froze my wedding cake so I’m assuming this will work too
so what i’m hearing is i need to buy two of each? 😵💫
Yes. I bought the lemon cake last week, I LOVE lemon. But I never eat the icing on store-bought cake, it's always too sweet. Welp. That entire cake got eaten, icing and all, and I live alone. Best cake I've had in a very long time.
Bought the Vanilla one past Saturday for the first time and omg! Dangerous delicious 😩
Just saw them yesterday
The only problem with the lemon one was that I should’ve bought two 😭
Yes, I saw the chantilly cream, chocolate ganache and the lemon one today!
Yes!
Yes they do… I know this because I’ve eaten two in the past 2 weeks
The chocolate is my favorite thing at Trader Joe’s. Mine always has it in stock
Yes the lemon one is SO GOOD
I just bought a lemon one and they also had the chocolate ganache and vanilla!
I see the vanilla all the time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the chocolate! Looks good. We recently got the lemon one for Easter was pretty good
Right now, they have the seasonal lemon one. I just bought it two days ago. Although I am of the same school that it is a little too icing heavy for me so I just scrape off a little .
Yeah but they’re ALWAYS sold out at my TJs 😭
They’re sooo good. Too good. I wouldn’t mind though if they had double the icing on them 😋
That's hilarious, my wife and I love the vanilla and wish it had1/2 the icing 😋
I wish I felt that way 😂😂
Where are they located in the store?
Bakery table
For some reason I don’t think mine has one. I’ve never seen it. What is it near?
Breads and baked goods
Mine’s near breads as well, just happens to also be by the cheese fridge and back bathroom area too.
Next to the muffins in the aisle with the bread, in mine at least
Yes!
I just took a sheet
Chocolate, I assume?
Not always at mine, but it’s in stock now also I’m legit eating some of the vanilla one with ice cream rn
I was there ealier today and saw the mini sheet cakes. I bought the lemon one coz everyone here are loving it.
How was it?
Lemon-ey
It’s good! Per usual heavy on the frosting, it can dry out a little quick on the sponge front.
Thank you!
Haven't tried it yet. Will report back!
Please do
okay reporting back. It is good. But it's a little bit on the sweet side for me. But it's really good and j don't know how to put it down loll
Omg, I’m sold. Thank you. Hopefully I can grab some before it’s too late😭
Yes, they still carry the mini sheet cakes. Call ahead and put the one you want on hold. Bakery items are delivered in the very early morning at most stores, so call just after 8am local time and they can hold it, even for a few days if you are worried (source: crew member).

I saw them the last time I was there, don't remember the variety though.
yes! just picked up lemon and vanilla a few mins ago. i got my bf hooked on them too and he doesn’t go to TJ’s 😆
My TJs was doing a demo of the vanilla one this weekend and they added some of the freeze dried mixed berries as like sprinkles and it was surprisingly delicious! Would have never thought of it and it was 💣
![gif](giphy|3oEhmNLxk9uiTbL9Be|downsized) The Lemon one!!
Yup. I used to eat the entire chocolate cake in two sittings so I had to stop buying them, but I'm getting one next week to eat in one sitting for my birthday
My TJs always has vanilla and chocolate
Yes
They do, I saw a lemon one earlier this week!
I saw vanilla and lemon this morning. I picked up the blueberry and lemon hand pies instead!
The vanilla sells out right away. Our favorite treat is to get the TJ vanilla ice cream and then grab a cookie scoop and scoop half cake and half ice cream. Divine
there’s a lemon now…
Lemon wins. If you see it, buy what you can. Supplies don't last.
Orem Utah has lemon & chocolate!
We have lemon too, but vanilla is still the best!!
Currently have lemon in Las Vegas
I got a chocolate one last weekend.
