She wasn’t lying.
Lol nothing like blaming a service worker for a cheap spouse.
Not even that bad. Is cake wrecks still a thing?
She gave a fair warning
It’s good, idk why you’re making fun of her this isn’t her profession. Should be grateful she went out of her way for you
As someone who has had to write on cakes with zero experience before… Always do a test run first.
I somehow got a job at the local grocery store bakery when I was in high school (still have no idea how I got the job or ended up quitting) but this gives me flashbacks of the firemen who came in and wanted a cake for their daughter. Lord. I’m so sorry. It was so terrible lmao. Icing is hard to write with
Writing in icing on cakes is really hard and takes a lot of practice. He’s lucky it’s legible.
Is that the cake decorator lady’s name? Cindy?
As a former bakery employee I had to tell people no I’m not the cake decorator bc my final results would come out like this, and it was such a shifty feeling telling people I couldn’t personalize there birthday cakes, even if it was 7 at night right before closing
And now he knows that deli =/= bakery.
TBH, I’d say he definitely got what he paid for and she did a bang up job!
Guy asks for the cheapest option, getst the cheapest option
It’s harder than it looked
So the moral of the story is **”Pay attention to what the deli lady tells you, numb-nuts!”**
Seems like more of a threat than a well wish.
Get what you pay for
It looks like you re-gifted a birthday cake
Where ever this deli lady is, I give you a huge hug.
“What’s your favorite scary movie?”
I remember working at dominos and every year some teenager would request a pizza with pepperonis in the shape of a heart for prom. And every time an immaculate pepperoni heart would go into the oven and come out a smeared mess because cheese melts
That’s not terrible. I really like the d.
Plot twist: the deli lady is Cindy
What are You talking about? That’s beautiful.
the obvious issue is that he went to the deli department instead of the bakery. surprised they didn’t put it through the meat slicer
You should feel lucky she didn’t spell the name out with slices of salami.
Deli lady is Cindy. Wife is not Cindy.
Well its your birthyday, cindy
On my 28th birthday my stepdad got a cake made. We opened it and it proudly said Happy 32nd Birthday! My mom was mad and he just said “I don’t know how f*cking old he is.”
Best cake ever.
She tried. I’m proud of her.
Honestly think this is adorable, I’d hunt down the deli lady and thank her for the effort!
The d is decent but that’s it
You know what I love about this cake? This photo could have been from any of the last four decades.
That’s pretty adorable
You can’t expect someone who isn’t a cake decorator to be good at writing on a cake. It’s harder than it looks, I used to do it for a bakery I worked at and it takes a lot of practice.
Don’t be a dick about it— cheap-ass asked the Walmart deli worker to decorate his cake and then has the audacity to bitch about it on the internet? That just makes you guys look bad, not the employee from another entire department who did her best.
Doesn’t matter; had cake!
I worked in a supermarket bakery and had to do this all the time. Was not good at it. I remember one time someone getting a birthday cake and asking me to write on it. After brutalizing the penmanship, they guy looks at it and said “well, they just gunnna eat the motherfucker.”
Did she use ketchup?
