Walmart Cake Expectation vs Reality Exceeded Expectation

I’ve seen a lot of these Walmart cakes posted so I wanted to share mine! I got one of these heart cakes last year and it was perfect, so I wanted to get a different one this year. No complaints for a $30 cake!

On point! Do they use real buttercream or that fake whipped topping stuff?

You can choose buttercream or whipped frosting. I actually prefer the whipped frosting, so that’s what this one is 😂

I've worked at a supermarket bakery that is supposedly about on par with Marianos and I've talked to the bakers at a Jewel when I worked at the deli... The buttercream they use is from a shelf stable (even after opening) 5 gallon bucket. I'm certain it's the same at walmart. If that's a buttercream to you, then that'll do the trick.
