Kid approved birthday cakes in Needham or Newton

I am thinking of buying one this year. Which store or bakery in the newton needham area makes a great cake? Basic, but good.

Lots of threads on here about cakes. For expensive custom designed cakes, Party Favors in Brookline is a long-time board favorite, although many of us (myself included) now prefer Icing on the Cake in Newton.

On the more affordable side, Costco has excellent cakes.

Second the mention of Party Favors in Brookline. They will also decorate a cake however you want it with a week's notice. They made a giant wave of frosting with surfing penguins for my daughter's last b-day.

If you're willing to go into Brookline's Coolidge Corner, I can't say enough good things about Party Favors- delicious cake and excellent decorations with the BEST buttercream frosting.

Roche Brothers cakes are really, really good. Sudbury Farms in Needham is the same company as Roche, I believe.

Treat in Needham for cupcakes. Party Favors in Brookline (Coolidge Corner) for cakes. PF needs a week or two notice if memory serves.
