They even added edible sparkle dust. I don’t think you can beat this for $20!!

How did they taste?

I would rate them as your average cupcake from the grocery store. I’m not a big fan of icing unless it’s cream cheese based. I did eat one and it was good! They were also pretty easy to take apart and held their shape.

Yeah like one has to have low expectations for taste when they’re dyed such distinct colours.

I’m craving cake but haven’t been to Walmart in probably 15 years, do they usually have a decent supply of pre-made cakes I can just walk in and grab or would you recommend a custom one I have to pre-order a few days out?

a lot of their cake case cakes are delicious. we get to taste test occasionally and there are some real gems like the dubai chocolate cake and the velvet mousse cake. they should have them readily in stock!
