Everyone knows Albertsons now owns Safeway.. Everyone knows Safeway has the best in-store bakery. I was hoping to say the same about Albertsons. No. Not going to happen. My friend and I each purchased a cake for Valentine's Day. Today we discussed them. Agreement: the cakes were bland and boring. The icing was horrible. I was hoping to enjoy the pretty rose and spit it out instead! Might as well be eating lard. Not only flavorless but also think pasty gunk. I'm really disappointed because I have given Albertsons cupcakes as gifts but I won't do that again. My suggestion is this: go to. Safeway.
