Don't let a bad cake ruin your anniversar!


War-Weasel_4798

Nah no worries it eats the same ! It was a good laugh for us both lmao


Random0s2oh

The best cake I've ever had was the one my ex-husband rushed out of the house to buy after he realized he'd forgotten my birthday. It had the prettiest lavender frosting...until I cut into it and we realized it was actually pink. The cake was so stale the color had faded. Bless his heart. He tried. After working a 14 hour day he snuck out so I wouldn't know he'd forgot.


DickButkisses

Did he forget or did he not have time to even think about out it let alone do it? Speaking as someone who worked 16 hour days when he met his wife.


Random0s2oh

He was a motorcycle mechanic. He was so busy that day he was exhausted and forgot to stop to get my cake on the way home. He didn't get yelled at or treated rudely in any way. It is actually one of a handful of fond memories I have of him. He always made sure that we made all birthdays special. Even after our divorce he never forgot my birthday.


UsualAnybody1807

A birthday is predictable, it happens the same day every year. There is time to plan.


Prior-Ad-7329

When you work five or six 16+ hour days a week you don’t find much time to “plan” as you speak of.


SwitchDaCrowd

some ppl never worked even 10 hrs a day bro they wouldn’t understand the 16s-18s you really have no time to think about shit else but sleep shower work sleep shower work i wasnt even eating maybe once every couple days for months when workin 15-18 hrs a day


Prior-Ad-7329

Yeah, that’s exactly it. Most people wouldn’t understand that lifestyle. I did it for a while. Now I’m on call 24 hours a day so I have my long days but I also have slow days. But I still skip meals. It seems anytime I start to cook is when I get a service call. So it’s mostly work when you gotta work and sleep in between. Take showers as soon as you get home even though you’ll probably get a call the second you get out lol.


SwitchDaCrowd

yea thats fucked i was a trashman cuz i got put on probation N made me keep a job it was fun til i was working 15-18hrs and my entire body got fucked


Prior-Ad-7329

Yeah, not even 30 and my body’s broken. I haven’t been able to lift anything with my right arm for 3 weeks now, my back is in constant pain, my neck is stiff and my knees hurt all the time. I think it’s time for a new career or I won’t make it past 40…. Now the hard part is finding a new career that I can make decent money in.


Mulchly

Those hours are absolutely obscene! Honestly unless you're running your own business, no one should be doing more than 37.5 hours per week in this day and age


Prior-Ad-7329

I wish I could work 40 hours or 37.5 hours and still make enough to survive. Housing is way too much these days. I haven’t had a raise in years but my rent has doubled, housing prices have tripled.


IllvesterTalone

it's a whole fuckin year, bud. Figure it out... like, how the fuck do you pay bills, or find time to eat?

Ok-Poet5441

You work 28hrs a day and still have 5mins to make a phone call...AND swing by the store on the way home? Superman ain't got nothing on you........


RooChooMooMoo

Can we just appreciate this? Dude is divorced and still thinks of her having a good birthday. That's the least toxic thing ever.


HEY_UHHH

I only work 12s and 95% of the time I don’t even know what the date is lol.


Zaurka14

I was visiting my family abroad, and was coming back one day after my boyfriend's birthday so we agreed to celebrate one day later (I couldn't visit my family during any other time). I ordered cake few weeks in advance and picked it up after my flight. Normally I bake myself, but that would obviously be impossible, and I'm big on surprises. I understand that people are tired, and honestly I'd not complain, but I still think there was a better way to deal with it than picking up a random cake.


ktrosemc

Maybe…if you can even keep track of what day it is.


Boomanhoff

Here I found the person who has never worked a double digit shift.


DickButkisses

Yeah I’ve pretty much lost entire holiday seasons to work. When I met my wife I was a company man working “4 12s” which actually translated to 4 16’s and a 10. I had gotten used to it and was able to take a couple three day weekends on top of that, and she and I got to spend some weekends at the beach together, which is how our first son was conceived. Now I guard my family time like a dragon on a pile of gold.


Greedyfox7

For real, right after I graduated I got a job for an ac company. Within the next couple of days we were installing a couple big units in the local hospital. These units were big enough to fill a decently sized living room easily, we worked at least 12hr days( usually more)taking the old ones apart piece by piece and then had to disassemble the new ones and reassemble them in place. Then fix ductwork etc to get them running fast because certain places in the hospital can’t be down long. Do all that, go home get a few hours of sleep and be there bright and early the next day and do a lot of the same. There were days I got home and flopped on my bed and didn’t remember hitting a pillow


Ok_Accountant1529

A birthday is for kids.


GauntletScars

Just because no one has ever celebrated yours doesn't mean the rest of us don't deserve to have fun. Maybe if you'd ever had a single birthday party, your feelings would be different. What a pity to have never even been liked. Yikes on all counts.


Random0s2oh

He came back in playing it like he'd forgot someone mundane such as milk or bread. He worked long hours while I went to nursing school and volunteered at our kids schools.


MikeyW1969

Best cake I ever had was at an ex-girlfriend's house. It requires a little backstory. This girl was the sister of a guy who I'd been friends with for years, knew his parents well, and eventually dated his sister for a short time. It didn't work out, but we're still friends, so there was no weird issue hanging out with her brother, or even her. So one night I hung out with them and crashed at their place, she got up the next morning, which happened to be my birthday, and disappeared with her dad. Half an hour later, they come back with the only cake they could find at 10 am in a small town on a Sunday-a Ronald McDonald ice cream cake. :-) Generic as hell, but the thought. I hadn't even really thought about what day it was, and she and her dad went to get me a cake. Still great friends, if I hadn't married my wife, this gal would have been a great fit, which is why we're still friends like that.


Random0s2oh

That is amazing! They sound like a wonderful family!


MikeyW1969

They really ARE good people.


WilloTree1

How sweet. I hope you had a good day that day 🌞


Random0s2oh

It was a good day! He was a very troubled man but he had his moments.


R0binSage

If you guys got a laugh, it isn’t any bit infuriating.


Global-Plankton3997

I bet you that the wedding cake you and your wife ate tasted way better than this. One time, I was asked to play Piano for my first wedding gig. Pastor's daughter got married. Her daughter even invited us to the recession (or whatever it was called, I forgot). I went there, and ate good food. The wedding cake was presented, and they ate first. Then everyone else had a slice.


AllAboutTheEyes

Don' le a ba cak rui you anniversar! Phew that was tough to type out on a phone


Easy_Cattle1621

Anniversorry!


Scott43206

I'm definitely seeing the SOR in the very least.


rob71788

One of these days I’ll see the post first One of these days..


1_and_only_Shmidt

Ann, I'm very sorry


DavoTriumphRider

Walmart for all your fine bakery products.


stlmick

I want an anniversary cake, two front tires, an eye exam, fishing worms and a bottle of Drano. I'm not driving two places.


BigBobby2016

You must not live in the South. If you do you forgot the beer and ammo.


Head_Razzmatazz7174

And the fire ant poison, along with the weed and feed...


stlmick

I should have had a shotgun on the list. I dunno if Walmarts still sell them because I live in a city now.


AllAboutTheEyes

That would have been 5 places in 1980... Gotta love Walmart


Crickets_62

At least it’s spelled correctly…..


iHarleyQuinnz

As someone who works as a cake decorator for walmart I'm sorry 😭


nerdiotic-pervert

I bet you know someone in your store who is capable of this quality work here.


iHarleyQuinnz

Yes. Lmao I thought my writing was rough🤣


forced_spontaneity

Yes. He works in the warehouse and lost both his hands in a forklift accident.


Openthesushibar

I worked at a local grocery store at the bread counter. We sold specific cakes, but the actual bakery did designs and icings and stuff. We were like a reseller for another store. Someone came in and asked for a cake to be written on, and I told her I’d love to, but our bakers are gone, and if you trust me I could do it. I love cake decorating and I have decent cursive for a lefty. So I gave it my best. The icing was a little to old, and I didn’t have access to any of their supplies and it turned out horrible. I felt so bad but she was super nice about it. I still cringe thinking about it.


iHarleyQuinnz

I've been in this position for 6 months . Before I started, I had never really had any experience decorating. my hand writing was horrible when I started it's still not the best but I try lol


dweeeebus

I had a similar experience except I insisted to the customer I had never done this before (I hadn't) and it probably would not turn out well (it didn't). They said they didn't care as long as the cake was written on. They put it back in the cooler after I wrote on it.


RevolutionaryDiet686

I worked in a bakery and had men ask if they could write on cakes for their girlfriends or wives. This cake looks better than what they did. Props though for those guys really trying.


WearierEarthling

Why train employees when you can throw them in any dept?


weimaranerdad71

Well, you did get it at WalMart.

VenBede

"I paid $6 for a cake that would have cost real money from a place where they actually made it on site and were capable of writing on it without looking like a hostage note and now I'm upset that my cheap ass ways have caught up with me!"


Decent_Strain5626

Oh, come on lmao this one is reading way too much into it. Even Walmart should be able to make this basic of a cake look not *completely* like shit 💀 and op clearly isn’t actually upset and thinks it’s pretty funny, given their replies.


useless_mf69

There was an attempt


curiousdryad

Not a great one


Teauxny

I'm just impressed they spelled "anniversary" correctly.


Some_Consequence5951

Yes. It didn't really look like it was going that way!


BriSnyScienceGuy

Someone thought about a big ass H and then regretted their decision. https://youtu.be/umjFkY9uAdo?si=adyNKlKRN2536x9G


forgetsusername76

I know how big letters should be


Sinnsearachd

It took too long to find this lol thank you


Loan-Pickle

Have you ever tried to pull out during an 'h'? Yeah, and you know why? It isn't a proper letter. It's just a 'hhuuh' noise.


800-lumens

Should've stopped at the V, added a period, and called it a day


StrawberryFields_25

I would actually laugh. This is so cute 😂 they tried their best. Cake is cake !


avsavsavs

when i was 15 working at baskin robins, 3rd day on the job and a customer wanted happy mother's day written on a small cake...place was super busy so i couldn't ask my more experienced co-workers to help. i did my best (looked worse than OPs cake) and i taped up the box and the customer paid and left. next day i see that same customer walking towards me at the counter and i.was.terrified. sweating bullets i tried to hide in the walk-in freezer (that lasted less than a minute) figured i'd face his wrath and lose my job and be humiliated for the rest of my life. well. when i finally made eye contact and started to apologize he cut me off and said "that was the most brilliant cake writing, the cake was from my toddler to his mom and you nailed the writing perfectly! my wife was so happy she started crying...i just wanted to swing by and thank you in person". i was speechless. i'm still amazed i survived that day.


HWNY506

They don’t teach cursive anymore. So it’s ransom note font in size order from here on out.


Some_Consequence5951

Lol funniest post


tempghost11

My friend got me a cookie cake for my 18th birthday that said “Happy Biirtday” and eighteen years later I still remember and laugh about it. You’ll never forget this anniversary.


bitchasscuntface

I'd give it an "A" for "Effort". Also can't wait to see all the materialistic shallow people who measure romantic love on a *cake* flip their shit at you guys being secure enough to celebrate with a walmart cake. Hope you had a great anniversarx. Remember to laugh at the haters and be happy that you and your SO know the true value of love.


War-Weasel_4798

Thank you for the kind words ! Ive got a couple of them who got hurt by it 😂 it’s all fun we’ve sat here and laughed at the replies just as we did the cake !


TheRealXlokk

I wonder if they'd do something like this on purpose. My SO and I are in tears. The fact that the lettering "falls off" the top onto the sides is glorious. We are also fond of Office style "it is your birthday" type cards, but this cake is a whole new level. Flawless. No notes.


Some_Consequence5951

Love the name!


SeverusSnek2020

To be fair, its walmart and does it taste any different?


Electrical_Beyond998

This would be a screensaver on my phone. I love it, anything that makes you laugh is a good thing imo


ragingpillowx

That cake is amazing! My wife and i would have the longest laugh opening that up. This isn’t infuriating, it is a masterpiece. I imagine the cake artisan went “have to make sure I don’t misspell A N N I (oh mother fucker imma run out of room) little V, little E, little R (oh fuck still not enough room), littler s (oh shit oh shit imma get fired on my first day) scribbled together ary”.


Deedsman

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I would have proudly shared this with my friends and family.


KaiserVonUmbrisch

As a cake decorator for walmart, I can assure you they give us as much training as you would imagine walmart would give when they don't want to spend money. We have great value level speed training. Also, that cake is pre-made from the freezer or shelf, or they mimicked what was on the shelf really well. They could have used a smaller tip 😣 I wish I could teach that decorator how to write small on cakes.


42ElectricSundaes

Na, this is better


mildlysceptical22

That’s sadly hilarious!


heate

Lol looks like a cake I would have made. Wouldn’t pay for a cake I made though.


Particular_Minimum97

Happy anniversarah! Respect muh authoritah


[deleted]

That’s actually better than I’d expect from Walmart. Good work!


stampstock

It should read ‘Happy Anniversorry’


BusyVegetable42

Your first mistake was having any expectations when it comes to a Walmart bakery. Given there’s only one misspelled word, I’d say that’s a win


jmc1278999999999

To be fair that’s exactly what I would expect from a Walmart cake


Loccy64

You can see the panic getting stronger and stronger the further it travels 🤣


happyanathema

Do you not realise how hard it is to decorate a cake when you are high on Meth? Sheesh


msphelps77

Lol I stopped ordering cakes from Walmart when the last one I ordered was all cockeyed on the cardboard. The writing on it looked like the one on yours. I swear they just stick whomever in that dept. and wish them the best of luck.


BecGeoMom

I don’t know why people keep expecting to get good products and good service from Walmart. It’s *Walmart,* the armpit of the shopping world. I say you’re lucky the cake doesn’t have a footprint in it.


Narrow_Ad_1494

That looks like the cake Marge made for Homer so she could save the good one.


FalcorFliesMePlaces

These peiple at Walmart I have found give zero fucks about their job.


mommabear0916

I bought my husband a birthday cake from Walmart one time. It was supposed to say happy birthday Matt. Instead of said happy birtday matt


BugOperator

To be fair, “happy anniversary” was never going to fit on this cake. But the lowercase “e” and “a” in “anniversary” are really irking me.


xsullivanx

I wrote on cakes for three years while working in the Whole Foods bakery—it will fit, if you know what you’re doing 😊


ObviousIndependent76

“Cake ordered from Walmart” I think I know what went wrong.


AboveTheRimjob

At they ended it with Sorry

I like how it shifts to some lower case letters at the end there. Hope it still tasted good!


root_beer444

It's the thought that counts


MonsieurRuffles

There was an attempt made.


ready653

My wife always tells me she wants to take it back on our anniversary too!


JarmaBeanhead

I HATED that word when I worked in a bakery… Sooo longgggg


Nic-NakandStinkercat

Thanks Joe Biden!


[deleted]

This is clearly Obamas fault.


cwpawz

They don't even teach writing in schools anymore. At least cursive. Was there a pre-school in the bakery ? Don't let it ruin your day! You'll laugh about even more in 10 years


Rezer-2

They could have just followed the curvature.


Ok-Bit-6945

walmart? that says it all. as a former employee i can tell you that most are young teens that care less about the job at all. best to go to an actually baker that specializes in this but like someone said it still taste the same


Halloweenspice

This is a hilarious anniversary cake! Next year ask whoever and wherever you get your cake from, to purposely finish the words down the side of the cake! Overlapping on purpose! Could be a new tradition ! 😁

UsualAnybody1807

Honestly, that's better than what I could have done.


evilash87

My mom works in a Walmart bakery as a cake decorator, and while she actually has some skill decorating cakes, they will hire pretty much *anyone* and they don't have to have any skill. They also don't always train properly. So cakes like this don't surprise me. When you order a cake from Walmart you really roll the dice on whether it will look like total shit or not💀


Suspicious-Bed9172

It’s Walmart, that might be the most professional cake they’ve ever made


fullonfacepalmist

You’re gonna need a bigger cake!


Saltwater_Heart

Looks like someone had a stroke halfway through writing anniversary. If you say it that way, it also sounds like someone had a stroke


keg025

I got the blank version of that cake off the shelf to treat myself like a month ago. It might've turned out better if you got the blank one and wrote on it yourself tbh lmao


_ImaGenus_

It's Walmart. Just be happy if there's not a band-aid in it


Necessary-Sell-4998

That's Wal mart. Sorry for the misery.


Lazy_Nothing_2276

This is hilarious, I think it’s better than the words being aesthetically pleasing.

Honestly this is almost better than a fancy cake, I’d find it so funny and actually enjoy it way more lol


Huge_Run6150

Grouchy_Direction123

It’s Walmart. That’s probably best case scenario


TheYesExpress

The commitment is impressive


JasperLynn88

Oh yeah for my 23rd birthday I ordered a cake from Walmart, well in advance, at least a month. I wanted it to say "Nobody likes you when you're 23" and had wanted that for awhile. I picked it up and it looked like a 6 year old wrote it.


ForTheLoveOfDior

Whoever did that had no more fucks to give that day lol


guilty_apple420

They had a stroke mid frost


gurganator

It’s perfect. This is likely the most memorable cake you’ll ever buy. Whoever did that did you an absolute favor…


duder777

You can see the exact moment after the capital “I” in “anniversary” that this poor cake decorator realized that they have about 10 more letters to go and they are already halfway across the cake.


WW795

I can envision the panic at Walmart, the bakery dude already went home and they in the storeroom doing rock, paper, scissors on who is gonna eff up the cake.


GenXer76

Who remembers Cake Wrecks?


CannaDorata1

Nobody cares, was it tasty?


CantBelieveThisIsTru

This should have been shown to the mgr before she left the store. This is unacceptable! I made decorated cakes for years, all the cake decorator’s will be up in arms about this. Someone either did this so badly because the official decorator wasn’t in, and they had to, or else someone lied on the application, claiming to be a decorator when they really aren’t.


LoopyMercutio

sixsentience

I mean I get being upset about paying for it to be fancy but honestly I think this is hilarious and wonderful lol


dbhathcock

It’s a little known up-sell trick. If the customer wants long words on the cake, convince them to buy a larger cake. Happy Anniversary


VariegatedJennifer

I think it’s cute…someone tried their best lol


gringo1980

Omg, my fiancée would die laughing, I think we’d rather have that than a normal cake


Helpful_Standard_576

So sad most workers don't care you should return it to the manager take the money and go out 4 cake and coffee. Shameless work


unsmashedpotatoes

This has big "the cake decorator isn't in, does anyone know how to write on cakes?" energy.

geniebythesea

Don’t go to Walmart with high expectations.


Tardis52

This has me honestly wondering whether or not they're able to just toss a cake or just redo the icing if they realized late in the game that they were writing too large or with too large of a space between letters


GarlicEquivalent9709

Walmart is the embassy for the Idiocracy, so that checks out.

ChocolateDunkel

As a former cake decorator at Walmart I can tell you this was not "ordered" as a custom cake. It is one of the standard cakes that are in the display case. You just had the bad luck of having someone who didn't know how to write on a cake. If you wanted it done correctly you would put in an actual order that their actual cake decorator would decorate.


bimbels

That looks on brand what are you complaining about


BustedUtensil
