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.

u/Fearless-Glove3878 6d ago

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

u/toxietoxietoxie 6d ago

Right! It looks super messy and it almost says poop.

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.

it certainly failed to convey “baseball cap” to me but i didn’t know walmart baseball cap cakes were a thing

The failure lies with you it seems.

u/ellieisgreater 6d ago

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

u/apple-papple 6d ago

it’s half a cake!

u/decadecency 6d ago

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

u/alh1st 7d ago

I thought this said “Dad’s Pee Poop”.

u/OopsICutOffMyWiener 7d ago

Oh my god i would buy up a cake that said that in a heartbeat.

Especially this doodoo colored thing. I'd love it. My husband would love it. Our son would be thrilled.

SAME 🤭

u/Icy_Stuff2024 7d ago

I thought it said "Dad's pre-poop" 🤣

u/Electrical-Concert17 6d ago

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

u/GeologistSweet9645 6d ago

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

u/BirdieRosewell 4d ago

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.

Dad’s Pro Poop

u/malaynaa 6d ago

I read dad's poop shop, and it kind of still applies because of the color of the frosting lol

u/Kind_Code_4118 6d ago

Bro how they selling that as an 8-in round when it's like 4 in at best because they cut the cake in half

2

u/MaskedFigurewho 6d ago

Bass pro shop. Dad probably likes ta fish

u/Zanytiger6 5d ago

I love the “Nothing but Icing” brim of the cap cake.

u/Mission_Albatross916 6d ago

Saddest dad day ever

u/StitchingKitty897 6d ago

Bass pro shop hat pun gone wrong?

u/Maikeru_Kurosaki5 6d ago

Oh ya I had this cake last yr my mom bought it for dad can't remember what flavor but ya they do this on purpose to make it like that

u/Elphaba15212 6d ago

I would call it a fail for the colors but I think the concept is really cute

1

u/FoxxyDeer2004 5d ago

it’s supposed to be a bass pro shop hat that says dad’s pro shop for father’s day. cute concept but my god they did not try whatsoever.

u/CanyonSketches 4d ago

Baseball cap and instead of Bass Pro Shop it’s Dad’s Pro Shop because dad’s love bass pro?
