What more do they want! I didnt ask the prices, probley $20.00 cause they have some factory ship them 200 frozen cakes at a time then use their tub of lard to frost and decorate them, has anyone else seen this?

Our WalMart has always done wedding cakes. They put the tiers in the box and had you the supports! All of their display cakes are dusty and I don't think that they do any custom designs.
I am not competing against WalMart.

They do make cakes with custom designs:

Given that tiered cakes are labor intensive I wouldn't expect prices to be too much lower, and in many cases the Walmart cake will probably be "good enough" for people who don't care too much about the cake.
They don't list prices, but it's worthwhile checking your local Walmart to see what they do charge. If you are undercutting Walmart you are probably doing something wrong.

The three tiered Walmart wedding cake starts at $160 or so and then goes up from there. The extent of their customizing is based on selections from book....believe me they aren't offering fondant or gumpaste roses.
They're advantage is their price point which is just fine because not everyone can or wants to spend 3.00 and up per serving. Also, believe it or not, there are plenty of people who like the taste of a supermarket cake.
I don't consider Walmart to be my competitor ..in fact, no one is my competitor nor am I the competitor of anyone near me. Every baker develops their own style and you really end up competing with yourself to expand your skills. And if we're lucky, there will be people out there who prefer our cakes...at least sufficient to keep us baking.

No license or insurance. Put lead wires in cakes, never wash hands, cake boards are used cardboard. No contracts cause I can't read or write. No lawyer cause I'm judgment proof. I bake with old mix boxes found behind Walmart. Now about my question

I went to the link and read their sizes. A full sheet cake serves 96? Several years ago before I started cakes, I purchased a full sheet cake and was told that it only served about 75. My cutting guide has 72. I wished that it listed dimensions. I think I lost a few servings somewhere......LOL. Actually I did see a 3 tier stacked cake at one recently for 138.00. It didn't list the sizes or servings though.

IF all I could afford was a walmart cake, I would bake a 3 tier cake at home, do a fluffy frosting (wavy like and add a few gumpaste flowers and that's that, but some people don't care about taste, and yes some people like supermarket cake taste. I actually was given a piece of supermarket cake recently that was actually good, but my Mom forgot to ask her host where it was bought, certainly would do in a pinch.

I have never gone to Walmart to get a cake but in a pinch i guess i would. But i must say what Brevity said was so rude. Because some people chose walmart over a expensive bakery does not make them poor. Some people would rather take the extra money and go on a honeymoon, or maybe they are saving for a house. RUDE RUDE RUDE shame on you!!!!!!

Full sheet cakes are 16"x24", or 384 square inches. 384 square inches/96 servings = 4 sq in per serving, or a 2"x2" piece.
