"The white cupcakes with white frosting ended up on the “can be missed” list. According to the review, these skippable cupcakes don't offer much in terms of flavor. The cake may be soft, but any noteworthy taste is noticeably absent. The white frosting perched on top of the cupcakes simply adds a cloying layer of sugar that renders this treat less satisfying than even a standard boxed cupcake mix made at home."
"“I just got these in my NC location and they were legit the worst cupcakes I have ever had! The frosting was in no way, shape or form buttercream. Whole thing tasted like horrific chemicals,” wrote a disappointed shopper on Reddit. Another pointed out a lengthy list of ingredients as a cautionary factor, describing it on Instagram as an “essay of ingredients.”"
"“I could polish off an entire box and still have room for a churro,” wrote one shopper on Reddit. “They are pretty tasty, though the amount of butter cream is aggressive,” added another. Some shoppers have noted that the chocolate option is better than the vanilla. “Both delicious, but the chocolate was exceptional IMO. If you're familiar, it tastes like Portillo's Chocolate Cake!” wrote a Costco member on Instagram."
White cupcakes with white frosting from Costco are frequently described as disappointing, with soft cake but little noteworthy taste. The frosting is characterized as cloyingly sugary and not satisfying, sometimes compared unfavorably to boxed cupcake mixes. Some shoppers report an artificial or chemical-like flavor and point to long ingredient lists as a concern. Other shoppers disagree and say they can be enjoyable, with some claiming they can eat an entire box. Several people note that chocolate cupcakes taste better than vanilla, and some describe the chocolate flavor as exceptional. Convenience for feeding a crowd is also cited as a reason to buy trays.
