Comments on: This Is Why You Never Order Custom Cakes From WalMart http://www.theginblog.com/2007/10/this-is-why-you-never-order-custom-cakes-from-walmart/ A Day In A Life Of Insanity Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:28:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Ginnie http://www.theginblog.com/2007/10/this-is-why-you-never-order-custom-cakes-from-walmart/#comment-3273 Ginnie Sat, 20 Feb 2010 02:46:08 +0000 http://www.theginblog.com/2007/10/this-is-why-you-never-order-custom-cakes-from-walmart/#comment-3273 Afraid you're wrong Monique - I shop there more than you think. The greeters at several local Walmart Supercenters know me and my kids by name :) However, the car observation is 100% spot on in the neighborhood I referenced. This isn't about being judgmental though, it's about a hilarious mistake on a cake. Relax! Afraid you’re wrong Monique - I shop there more than you think.

This isn’t about being judgmental though, it’s about a hilarious mistake on a cake. Relax!

I shop at a walmart supercenter very consistently, i am a USC grad, advertising sales manager for a forbes top 100 company and have a small family. Walmart consistently has good quality of grocery items as well as low cost. Target is a good company as well, however, the Lexus vs minivan analogy is ludicrous. It shows how unaware ginnie is in relation to society. Most people shop by closeness,price and preference for type of goods. I feel bad for the cake lady, and obviously there was miss-communication and a language barrier. It is a totally funny story and I bet the party people have a cute story to tell forever and had more fun than if it were perfect. who doesn't like a good laugh.

They have made custom golf courses, picnic tables complete with chicken leg, hamburger, and a red and white table cloth all done with icing and creative life like spraying for the colors. Sure stupid mistakes shown as the "underneath that" stuff are really funny, but tell me, where are you going to get a custom golf course, picnic table, or High School mascot half sheet cake for 30 dollars? You tell me cause, Publix only does roses and kit cakes, they don't allow creativity. I happen to work at a Wal-mart in Tallahassee with a very talented cake decorating team.

You have to wonder, is this just somebody who follows instructions to the letter, or somebody who thought they were funny? And how do you get around this? Do you say "best wishes suzanne - end quote - below that write - start quote - we will miss you" and if you did, would it look even worse? Great photos!

That's a nasty thing to say. Do you have something against women, children or minivans? “You’ll be more likely to spot a woman with 6 children packing themselves into a 15 year old minivan at Walmart.”
