    Costco\u2019s bakery case is doing what it always does this time of year: inspiring joy, excitement, and very loud internet commentary. Two seasonal arrivals\u2014the fan-favorite Carrot Cake returning to shelves and a new Lemon Custard Pie making its official debut\u2014have shoppers already planning their spring dessert runs before daylight savings time even starts.
    <\/p>\n

    First up: the carrot cake. This one is sort of a Costco holiday tradition at this point. Fans waited months for its return, and ran to their local warehouses as soon as it graced shelves. One commenter confessed they\u2019d been dreaming about this cake since it disappeared. It\u2019s easy to see why: tender, moist cake layers packed with shredded carrots, plenty of spice, and topped with a thick blanket of cream cheese icing.<\/p>\n

    On the citrusy side of the aisle, Costco\u2019s new Lemon Custard Pie is positioning itself as a bright counterbalance to all of that spice and cream cheese. This pie combines a silky lemon custard with a classic flaky crust, and based on first impressions online, shoppers are intrigued. Comments on the Lemon Custard Pie post range from \u201cCostco bakery yet again coming in clutch,\u201d to \u201cOh no, I am in trouble.”<\/p>\n
