Family unhappy after Walmart graduation cake turns out to be Styrofoam

A high school graduate was ready to celebrate her big day with cake — until she realized the cake was Stryofoam, KPRC reports.

Not only did they mess up one time, they did it twice."

First, on the morning of the ceremony, Flores was at Walmart to pick up a two-tier cake when they told her they lost her order.

To make it up to her, the store agreed to give her another cake for free. She selected a smaller cake.

The bakery put a picture onto the cake and added a few extra embellishments on the frosting before handing off the dish to Flores.

It wasn't until the knife hit the cake, however, that the family realized it wasn't a cake at all.

Underneath the frosting was just a rectangle of Styrofoam.

Walmart gave them a $60 gift certificate after the family complained.

When I was in maybe 5th grade, school had some sort of contest where you could win a cake.

Oh great, I won one. Took it home and YUCH! My first experience with sponge cake. Aptly named I found.

Low in carbohydrates and fats, reusable, does not attract flies or rodents, durable, no mess if it is dropped, does not require refrigeration...

Oh no no, That’s just a Chinese style cake from Walmart. They’re called ‘Fung Yu’ cake.

Ha ha! Actually, the Wal-Mart cakes around here, are delicious, especially with satin whip frosting. You can buy that stuff in a can, now. Haven’t tried it yet.

A Costco is 20 minutes away. They have the best cakes. Custom half sheet cakes for under $20.

No complaints here about Walmart cakes, either. I don’t know if they come prebaked, and frozen, then decorate them in store.

I know a lot of our bakery stuff comes from Canada. The Patti LaBelle stuff comes from here in Texas.
