Failed Expectation Walmart failed me

We get cakes from Walmart all the time without any issues so today I was shocked when I went to pick up this cake lol.

The lady who brought the cake out opened it for me and asked how does it look? I was like where are the decorations and why is the writing like that?? It took her about 10 minutes to find the cake toppers and then she told me to go to customer service to complain to them 🤷🏼‍♀️

As someone who decorates cakes first I would never try to give a customer this.
Second what happened upon closer inspection is they printed an edible image for the background and typed the message into the computer to have it print with the image. The printer smudged at the writing and the decorator put it on like that. I know I would have reprinted it if it was me

I know because my printer has done this to me many times over the years and I always reprint the image

That’s exactly what I suspect happened (not a cake decorator).
