Whether it’s a Key lime pie for a last-minute dessert, a chocolate chip cookie to cure a sugar craving, or a custom birthday cake, Publix’s bakery department is the South’s go-to for all things sweet. Our editors have raved about the berry-filled Chantilly Cake, cookie cakes, banana muffins, and more. But there’s a lesser known item that you might not know about that could save you precious time in the kitchen.

In addition to all of their other offerings, the Southern supermarket chain sells unfrosted cake layers.
How To Order Unfrosted Cake Layers
Available by special order, a spokesperson for the company says that customers may order an unfrosted cake according to their specifications. Whether you’re a fan of chocolate, marble, or Superfetti, the bakery has a range of flavors to choose from.
Why Buy Unfrosted Cake Layers?
As you might have noticed on Instagram reels or TikTok, there are a lot of people out there who really love to decorate cakes. If piping rosettes or creating custom frosting colors is your idea of a good time, buying pre-made cake layers will save you time in the kitchen so you can focus on the fun part.
While Publix does offer an array of decorating options to choose from, sometimes you want something a little out of the box. (Like the sloth cake my son requested for his ninth birthday.)
Plus, whipping up a batch of homemade frosting is easy and doesn’t require turning the oven on, which can be a real plus in the summertime, when it’s too hot to bake. Or, if you prefer your desserts on the less-sweet side, you can even replace buttercream frosting with whipped cream instead.
