Publix has taken grocery store cakes to the next level with its Supreme Cake lineup. These towering, gorgeously decorated desserts have gone viral thanks to their mix of rich fillings, fresh toppings, and bold flavors. But do they actually taste as good as they look? We sliced into every Supreme Cake and tested them for flavor, texture, and overall indulgence. Here’s our take.
1. Chocolate Ganache Supreme Cake – $23
Taste Test
Chocolate lovers will be in heaven. This cake brings layer upon layer of deep, rich chocolate flavor — from the silky ganache filling to the airy chocolate whipped topping and dense cocoa sponge.
Texture
Moist and fudgy layers meet velvety whipped cream and a firm chocolate crown topping. Every bite feels luxurious but borders on intense if you’re not a chocolate fanatic.

2. Orange Cannoli Supreme Cake – $25
Taste Test
A visually stunning cake with mini cannoli and chocolate ganache accents. The orange flavor is subtle but has a slightly artificial aftertaste that overshadows the vanilla and cream.

5. Strawberry & Cream Supreme Cake – $26.99
