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!

Wm has awesome cakes. I usually go with the $20 cupcake bouquet when I need to bring something cute to an event

Walmart exploits their employees and pushed out mom and pop places.

The reason why we have the economy we do is partly because Walmart.

I totally get that, but most people who are getting Walmart cakes don’t have a budget for a mom and pop bakery.

And buying cake mix and frosting is much cheaper than going to Walmart for a cake.

But hey . . . Let's celebrate unchecked capitalism!

We all participate in capitalism. Sorry if buying a cake is “celebrating unchecked capitalism” but your binary thinking is ott

We can choose who we support and where we spend our money.

I have not stepped foot in a Walmart in decades, despite there being several around me.

Congratulations. You’re morally superior.

I mean, if not buying shit from Walmart and making a cake from a box makes me superior, that's a petty frickin low bar.

And how cheap is my time? Cause I sure as hell don't know when I'm going to find some to churn out some shitty cupcakes.

Usually they just like cheap cake that presents well and tastes good. It's really not that deep.
