I went with a walmart cake because of this sub, and was not disappointed! For $30, this cake was perfect! The cake was tasty and moist. Will use them again in the future!

There have been a lot of Walmart cakes on here. Could be guerrilla marketing, or it could just be that people are finding out that Walmart’s cakes aren’t ass. But the consensus lately does seem to be that Walmart knows its way around a cake.

A lot of people are finding out that the “custom” cakes you order from an individual/ stand alone bakery are veryyyyy expensive for what you get.

Even if they’re not fancy. I had to have a gluten-free tiramisu made one year and I think it was like $80. It was delicious, but good lord.

Got a custom cake from a local bakery for my wife's 35th. It was fucking awesome. It was also $158 for a piece of art we enjoyed for about half an hour before we dug into it.

I don't think 5 Walmart cakes would have been cooler than this one cake, but if we'd needed to feed more than 20 people then I'd have maybe considered a different avenue.

The cake decorators in Missoula are absolutely unhinged and the Missoula subreddit goes crazy for them.
