i like to think of the cake decorator - who stepped back from her cake and admired her handy work - who misheard "under neat" and realized that while the sentence she wrote didn't make sense, it must have meant something to the person who ordered the cake, and shrugged it off. so great.

while i'd have a point of contention with my friends and family getting a cake for me from wal mart in the first place, i, for one, would be so happy to get this kind of "oops" inscription on my cake. hilarious! bonus "duh" points for spelling "underneath" incorrectly, too.

it's better if you know how the lady ordered it, (it was not over the phone) "I'd like it to say 'best wishes suzanne' and underneath that, 'best wishes" If you're buying a cake at walmart (wtf) you almost deserve to have a cake like this
