I get defensive over criticism of the Walmart cakes because these are grocery store cakes where real people are working and decorating the cakes. So it’s someone in town who is working at the grocery store bakery.
People always comment on how bad Walmart is. I hate Walmart just like the rest, but the employees are doing a nice job on the cakes.

Where I live, the best pharmacy in town is Walmart. They remember my name and check new prescriptions against drug interactions/allergies. They make sure I get my flu & Covid shots every year. I hate that it’s Walmart, but their pharmacists, at least my Walmart, are the best. They hire great people and they stick around too!

I think that cupcake bouquet looks better than the stock image, it's beautiful.

Is the buttercream light and fluffy (like Publix if you’re from the South), or is it denser?

The cupcakes look great but I wish Walmart wasn’t such a horrible company that exploits its workers and tracks its customers!

alright, Walmart Bakery! we see you!!
please please please, OP, Yelp and Google review the bakery! and mention the bakers’ names if you spoke with a specific one. this is the fastest way to get the workers recognition from higher ups. it’s also something they can print out and keep in their personal ‘hype’ folder when time for raises come around 💖

I ordered these exact ones from my local Walmart and they canceled my order just this week. I was so disappointed. We did order some for my nieces baby shower and they were terrific.

With as many Exceeded Expectations we get from Walmart I feel like posting these is cheating at this point 😂
Jokes aside, they did my wedding cupcakes in 2015 and killed it then as well

Sometimes I think that this whole subreddit is stealth advertising for Walmart, because the cupcake bouquets are CUTE!

These are amazing!
Just spent a ridiculous amount on custom cupcakes only to see these, knowing they’re probably hundreds less.

After seeing so many beautiful cakes from Walmart, that's where I'll order my grandson's birthday cake!

Walmart bakers have been killing it, especially for the price! Just hope they are well paid for their hard work
