Ingenuity can flourish anywhere, and folks in Missoula, Montana, know that if you want a cake that your party guests will be talking about for years, you go to the Walmart on Brooks Street. There are two cake decorators there who produced what has become known as "unhinged cakes." These are cakes or iced cookies with jokes and pop culture references that can be used for any occasion.

In the Missoula subreddit, the two decorators at this Walmart go by the names WindyMover and cakesbyzoey. They haven't been publicly identified or interviewed because of Walmart's policies. But locals buy their cakes out every day, and come back continuously to see what else they've dreamed up. Recent hits include Salad Fingers and musical lyrics paired with clever images. Where else would you find a cake inscribed with "I could tear up a Chinese buffet right now," or "I hope you like weird girl energy because that's all I got" ?
