COSTCO TOOK THIS MAN'S CAKE ORDER TOO LITERALLY AND THE RESULT IS HILARIOUS!

"I was like, ‘I got directions and a little illustration here. They can’t mess this up. Right?’” says Costco customer Stephen Walker.

Well, you can’t say Costco can’t follow directions.

On April 2, Reddit user Stephen Walker posted a set of images in the r/funny subreddit that have garnered a ton of attention — and laughter. In the viral post, Walker shows the result of a recent cake request he made at his local Costco.

The second image includes a drawing of his request — an isometric rendering of a cake shape. Along with the simple line drawing, Walker made his requests: “No writing," "No Designs," and “Only Request Red frosting on perimeter for top / bottom.” Easy enough, right? 

“I used a black pen to draw a quick sketch of what I thought a cake would look like,” Walker tells TODAY.com, adding that he grabbed his young daughter’s red magic marker to draw where he thought the red border would go. “I was like, ‘I got directions and a little illustration here. They can’t mess this up. Right?’” 

Well, the Costco cake artist followed Walker’s request to the letter, copying his drawing exactly and placing it neatly on the cake — even if that’s not exactly what he wanted. Even the black lines from the original sketch were completed dutifully with black frosting.

BRING COMPASSION, PATIENCE, GRACE

Needing encouragement and prayer to get through my marriage. My husband has a very Narcissistic personality and is 14 years sober from being an alcoholic. I struggle most days because I feel like I have to walk on eggshells not to tip him off. He is not compassionate about other feelings, very manipulative and has a his way or highway attitude. He is so far from putting God first in his life and making our household a spiritual foundation for our family. We have a toddler and another one on the way. I do make sure that I take our toddler to church every week because I want him to know the lord. My husband always makes excuses as to why he won't go with us or tries to manipulate us into not going. I can't image what it's going to be like once the other one comes along. I pray most days for God to bring compassion, patience and grace into his life and that hopefully one day he will want to build a foundation of putting the Lord first in our household. I just ask for prayers as I have prayed that he will one day put God first in his life and allow us to have a spiritual foundation for our family.
