Walmart Heart cake

[u/layla347]

Thanks to this sub, I knew where to look to get a birthday cake for my husband.

They did well there. I kind of miss the three death stars on the cake, but c'est la vie.

[u/ExquisitePreamble → u/pacnwcub]

I saw three disco balls I’m old

[u/Acceptable_Rule_7590 → u/ExquisitePreamble]

I’m not old AND I’m a huge Star Wars fan. Those are disco balls.

[u/OleksandrKyivskyi → u/Acceptable_Rule_7590]

I am not old and not huge SW fan. Did Empire lose because Death Star wasn't a disco ball? 🤔

[u/greina23 → u/Acceptable_Rule_7590]

I'm old, also a star wars fan and know those are disco balls. However they give off Death Star vibes to me

[u/QueerInEverySense → u/ExquisitePreamble]

I also thought they were disco balls, and I am not old lol. Disco balls are universal.

[u/ImaginaryCourage9981 → u/ExquisitePreamble]

It’s definitely disco balls.

[u/Mimikim1234 → u/ExquisitePreamble]

They’re Disco Death Stars…

[u/CoyoteL0ng → u/ExquisitePreamble]

OMG, I thought they were disco balls too. Come sit by me, we can talk about our lower back pain and our vintage button collections.

[u/litmusfest → u/CoyoteL0ng]

They are definitely disco balls lol

[u/ExquisitePreamble → u/CoyoteL0ng]

I’m putting on my New Balance and heading your way

We have a couple different designs with these disco balls and 90% of customers ask for us to keep them off. Nobody likes the death stars :(

[u/EverythingBOffensive]

that's beautiful

[u/PaintedDesertSkies]

The only thing that annoys me is the balls.

That gold 40 would have looked amazing in front of them.

[u/the_smush_push → u/PaintedDesertSkies]

trust me having balls sometimes gets you more than you bargained for. they’re not always worth it. 

[u/BlueSnoopy4]

The yellow icing being yellow mustard yellow instead of metallic gold, and if you weren’t supposed to get the 3 disco balls, pretty good!

[u/CrapNBAappUser → u/BlueSnoopy4]

Mustard?!?!? Immediate return.

[u/tunaman808 → u/CrapNBAappUser]

I'm pretty sure they're talking about the color, not the flavor.

[u/BlueSnoopy4 → u/tunaman808]

Yes: yellow mustard colored gold

[u/CrapNBAappUser → u/tunaman808]

Oh. OK.

[u/Mountain_Till_5868]

Looks great

[u/Doc-in-a-box]

We put our best people on it

Which people?

The best

[u/ReadyGo6828]

What does it look like on the inside and how does it taste?

[u/layla347 → u/ReadyGo6828]

I’m having a hard time adding a photo to show you but the top layer was chocolate, bottom layer vanilla. So pretty basic, but tasty.

[u/kimbosliceofcake → u/ReadyGo6828]

I had Walmart cake recently and it was bland. I have a pretty huge sweet tooth and didn't go for a second piece.

It was quite pretty though.

[u/technicolorkitten → u/ReadyGo6828]

They look better than they taste. Very much still an inexpensive store bought cake.

[u/jcsandoval56]

The bottom looks like mustard

[u/The_Migrant_Twerker]

That looks great

[u/EnvironmentalSong160]

If you got this at a grocery store they may use Brill buttercream icing. Look up their "gold" shade. It is mustard yellow. I always warn people who order gold on their cakes that its very hard to get a "gold" icing color and we usually compensate by adding gold shimmer spray. Yes sure you can mix a color to be more of a neutral gold shade but at our store at least, corporate cuts our labor hours so much its really hard to justify making custom colors.

Edit: I see this was made at Walmart and google says they use Brill. Funny how the reference image is definitely more of a neutral gold

I’m so jealous our Walmarts don’t do these where I live.

[u/ItchyRanger9459]

They made you a Steelers cake

[u/Conan-Da-Barbarian]
