A 2 year old girl from Missouri was all ready to celebrate her birthday, until the cake arrived...

A local Walmart screwed up when they wrote the little girls name on the cake, her name is Elizabeth but her family calls her Lizard so that's what they wanted on the cake. Instead they got the words "Happy Birthday Loser"

Her mom, Melin Jones, said as she was leaving the store, she realized what the cake said.

She said she asked for the cake to read: “Happy birthday Lizard” — Elizabeth’s nickname.

Jones ended up getting a new cake with Elizabeth’s real name on it.

While Elizabeth looks glum in the photo, Melin Jones said they didn’t tell her what the cake said — and she can’t read.

“Even if we did tell her that the cake said ‘Loser,’ she doesn’t know what a loser is, so chill. Laugh. It’s funny,” said Jones.

The cake mixup happened in September 2018, but the family reposted the photos and they went viral.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
