Over the weekend, Aldrich purchased the cake and asked someone in the bakery if they could add a birthday message. Not really looking at the cake, she headed to check out when she noticed that it looked a little different. Aldrich wrote:

“I nervously laughed and headed to check out— it didn’t really matter to me that it looked so bad—I thought people would think it was funny. The cashiers at the self check out didn’t think it was so funny.”

Aldrich didn’t mind the cake’s appearance, but store employees who noticed it did — and directed her to go and get a different one. Aldrich held firm that she was keeping the cake, and then she was informed who decorated it for her. Aldrich explained:

“To my surprise, after they discussed it, one cashier put her arm on my shoulder and said ‘the girl who wrote that has Autism. Thank you for smiling and thanking her- even though she’s not supposed to write on cakes, you probably made her day.'”
