Costco Pumpkin Bar Cake

Fall has officially arrived at Costco, and the new Pumpkin Bar Cake may be one of the bakery’s biggest seasonal temptations. The 2.5-pound cake features layers of pumpkin spice sponge cake, pumpkin mousse and cream cheese frosting. It’s currently priced at $16.99 at many Costco warehouses and is designed to yield around 20 slices.

An Instagram dedicated to keeping followers up-to-date on the warehouse’s latest and greatest, @costcohotdeals, recently spread the good news with a reel. “The cake is SO moist!! 10/10 this cake screams fall,” she wrote in the caption.

Commenters were quick to share their excitement.

"I’m not gonna be able to say no to this," wrote one fan.

Another poked fun at the serving suggestion. "20 slices," they typed with a string of crying laughing emojis, "not with me around." Same.

For true pumpkin spice lovers, here's a challenge you might be up for, presented by another follower: "Goodness grief, could you imagine a Pumpkin spice latte with a slice of this." That would be a lot of sugar, but it would also be totally delicious—and a great way to enter fall.

What do you think? Are you excited to dig into pumpkin everything, or will you pass on this flavor?
