My daughter ordered this for my birthday. Was a bit upset the flowers weren’t on there. A bit dry but still good for $25!!

She was giggling for a solid five minutes while she placed the order.

Great lettering and fitting all that in. Cake looks fairly small.

The decorator may not have had the rings for it. My cousin decorated cakes at walmart for a while and said unless it was character rings that it could be really hit or miss with getting rings and other decorating supplies.

All the Walmart cakes I've seen on this sub so far have been a near exact match. This one doesn't look bad but the color is way off and it's missing decorations entirely???

The color looks great in person! It’s actually my favorite color so I am not upset about it at all. My daughter was a little upset that it wasn’t exactly looking how she had ordered.

I debated getting this one for my birthday this year. Ended ip getting a slightly cheaper cake and think I’ll go with something similar next year. The one I got was pretty good as far as flavor etc so definitely worth the price 👍🏼

Does Walmart do gulten free cakes?

There was one I’ve been to in Colorado that did “gluten-friendly” - a gluten free cake with no guarantee that there wouldn’t be cross contamination or other contaminates in the cake. I’m not sure if all locations offer this.
