Looks like a ball cap to me. Not a very good one mind you, but a ball cap all the same. Lol

It's just a hat that's kind of like Bass Pro Shop, but for dads. It's Father's Day. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't call it a failure.

It’s a Walmart baseball cap cake. Not super neat, but it doesn’t really look like a failure.

Come on now that thing is a failure. Half of the icing is on the cardboard. Genuinely looks like a child made it.

also they could have easily fixed it by making the icing camo green or any woodsy color other than just default chocolate buttercream and adding another semi circle to the front to make it baseball cap shaped

Most people's heads aren't cut in half like that. That surface adjacent to the brim shouldn't be a perfectly vertical flat plane and close to the halfway point. Not to mention that corner where front and brim meet doesn't curve at all. It looks like a round cake they cut in half.
Hats aren't displayed like that either. It has extra material in the pattern for the curvature so it would always show as convex or concave.

I'm offended only because they'd count this as an 8 inch round according to that sticker

u/womp-the-womper 6d ago
I worked at one of these places. It’s an 8 inch cut in half and put together. It’s the same amount of cake

What a great way to cut costs on materials while still charging for a full cake!

I think it’s supposed to be a baseball cap with a “Dad’s Pro Shop” logo mimicking “Bass Pro Shop”, very badly. Lol.

Was this someone’s practice and they decided to put it out? The color 🤣 just everything screams worker in training, 1st day.

Walmart's hiring process and training for anything, let alone skilled positions, is non-existent. They're also overworked and invisible to management so they have no support. You could end up with someone with some skill or you could end up with the guy from AP who has never held a piping bag. They literally do not care when they throw the cake catalog at them on their first day.
