Happy Birthday Sprinkles!
Tags: funny story, story
On March 3, 2010, we were at Walmart ordering my daughter’s 18th birthday cake. The clerk took all the information. We decided that we wanted a gender neutral cake with no flowers or girly decorations, because my daughter wanted to share the cake with her friend since his birthday was 2 days after hers. While the clerk was verifying the details, the cake decorator came over and looked at the request. She said. ” Is this all you want on the cake?” I said, “Yes, just Happy 18th Birthday Taylor and Zach.” Then the decorator asked if we wanted sprinkles on the cake. My daughter said yes, because she didnt think that would be too girly. So the clerk wrote it on the order. On March 5th, I sent my husband to pick up the cake. He got it and was heading to the check out when he looked at the cake better and it read..”HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TAYLOR, ZACH AND SPRINKLES” He wondered who sprinkles was and if we had gotten a cat!!!! He returned to the cake counter and told them that the cake was wrong and they the attempted to remove “Sprinkles”, it left a big place in the icing that was very noticeable. The decorator then asked my husband if we wanted sprinkles on the cake to cover the place that they tried to fix. He told her that was what we wanted in the first place.

I might be wrong, but I think I’ve heard this before as a joke, at least a very similar variation.

This same thing happened to my daughter. I do not recommend getting a cake from Walmart. My mother planned a party for my daughter and they told her the cake would be done by noon. Went to pick it up at 12:30 and the lady had went to lunch and never even started decorating the cake. The other lady working said “come back in 2 hours” My mom was furious but did it anyway. When she got back the cake was completely wrong. Her birthday cake was supposed to say “Happy Birthday” in pink. Instead they wrote “Happy Birthday Pink”. Needless to day we didnt have to pay for the cake.

This happened to me too. The were supposed to write “happy Birthday” in pink and instead put “happy birthday pink” on the cake. Needless to say, the cake was free. Turned out my daughter though it was funny.

Wal-Mart nearly screwed up the groom’s cake for our wedding (no, it wasn’t shotgun, we just wanted a photo cake and our budget was limited). We had printed a picture of my hubby’s guitar and wanted it placed on a sheet cake. Simple enough. When the pic printed, it had two 5×7’s on it, so my friend placing the order pointed out the one we wanted. The woman took an ink pen and drew a large “X” on the one we didn’t want. No surprise–the cake had the pic with an X on it. Fortunately, it was a simple matter of removing that pic and replacing it. They re-iced the edge, and it was fine. But yeah, you get what you pay for.

I used to work in a supermarket bakery. One of the decorators was a complete and utter fucktard. She did something similar to this, but damn if I can remember what now! Suffice to say, what was written on the order form was not difficult to read or understand. What she put on the cake certainly was. But of course she blamed it on EVERYONE else. Douche.

roflmao. I think I would have left the sprinkles & used it as a life long joke – forever teasing her about her twin sister “sprinkles”

I put off ordering my birthday cake until late a few years ago and only Walmart bakery would do it with 2 days’ notice (and no, this is not an excuse for why I went to Walmart, it’s just that I usually use a small town bakery). So my boyfriend and I went in and I ordered a sheet cake with yellow and lavender roses. The lady taking the order just stared at me for a couple of beats and said, “what is lavender?” So I told her it was light purple.
Two days later we go in to pick up the cake. The yellow roses are fine, though slightly on the orange side. However, there were smears all over the border of the cake where you could see that they had first made dark blue roses, then scraped them off, then light blue roses and scraped them off, and then finally added deep, bright, neon, gay-pride purple roses over the top. They were horribly ugly and all of my friends asked why the edges of my cake were “tye-died”. Never again!
