One Of 2026's Biggest Dessert Trends Just Landed At Costco In A 2-Flavor Pack

If you have yet to taste the viral dessert sensation that is the Dotcake, keep an eye out at your local Costco warehouse. As of October 13, 2026, shoppers have spotted six-pack boxes of these simple yet adorable cakes at select Costco stores across America. For $14.89 (though prices may vary by location), you get three chocolate and three vanilla cakes per package, all officially made by The Dot Cakes, the Roslyn, New York-based bakery behind the uber-popular treat.

For the uninitiated, these viral sweets are simply small cakes served in cups, topped with frosting and colorful, dot-shaped nonpareil sprinkles. Dotcakes are similar to yet different from Mexican cortadillos, with the latter featuring similar ingredients in a larger sheet cake format and traditionally topped with pink rather than white frosting. According to social media posts, Costco's boxes of mini Dotcakes are sold in the refrigerated sweets section alongside other branded desserts, rather than in the store's bakery area.

When we tried Dotcakes to see if they're worth the wait in line, we were shocked to find that both the chocolate and vanilla versions lived up to the hype. The ultra-moist and flavorful cakes were the best part, while the creamy vanilla frosting and crunchy "dots" added extra visual and sensory appeal. With this new Costco drop, the only line you'll have to wait in is the checkout line — which often isn't short, but probably moves faster than the queue at a small bakery. And according to lucky customers who have already tried them, these store-bought Dotcakes are just as good as the Roslyn originals.

The box of mini Dotcakes sold at Costco give customers an opportunity to enjoy the viral snacks at home with no drop in quality. According to early customer reviews, the chocolate and vanilla cakes are moist and fluffy, just like the ones we tried at The Dot Cakes bakery, and the sprinkle topping stays perfectly intact until you dig in. "These are really yummy and not dry!" one Instagram reviewer wrote. "The vanilla one is my fave."

Pricing is another convincing reason to try Dotcakes from Costco. At $14.89 total for a six-count, you'll pay about $2.48 per serving. Meanwhile, a single cup from The Dot Cakes in New York will cost you $8 at its original Roslyn location or $11 in Manhattan (via The New York Times). You save a big fistful of cash with the Costco six-pack, especially if you want to share with friends — six cups from the bakery would come out to $48 to $66.

That said, some Costco shoppers think that nearly $15 is still too much to pay for cake, frosting, and sprinkles. "You can buy the ingredients yourself and make more than that for cheaper," one Instagram commenter said about the six-count box, while other commenters wondered why the super simple Dotcakes have become so viral in the first place. While it is pretty easy to skip the line and DIY your own Dotcake, the only way to see if the original lives up to the hype is to try it, and Costco offers the most affordable, accessible way to do so.
