We usually get B Day cakes from Sobey's though the one nearby has a good bakery.

All Sobeys cakes come in frozen from their warehouse. Some may not have been in the freezer for as long as at other stores so they may taste better. The decorating is different all together and can really vary depending upon who is doing it. Sobeys does still do scratch baking for the most part (breads, buns, doughnuts) which is something many other chains so do, so their bakery items should taste fresher, but maybe not taste how you like it.
Another thing about Sobeys is that there are quite a few which are franchised. They still have to follow the Sobeys programs, but you will see a difference as many owners are also store managers and have a lot more riding on the store. It could also go the other way, once the store is paid for, the owners can just sit back and enjoy their money they as they busted their butts off for 15 years. As for corporate store managers, they are just kissing the zone managers a$$ looking for a promotion and don't get near the support from the staff that an owner gets, mostly because of the pay structure at corperate stores which is awful.
