A Dairy Queen employee fired after a mixture of cakes & marijuana & # 39; becomes viral

A "Moana" / marijuana cake mix that went viral earlier this week is no longer a joke.

On July 2, Kensli Taylor Davis shared a message on Facebook with a photo of the cake that his mother had ordered on his 25th birthday, commissioned from a Georgia Dairy Queen. The green-and-white outfit included a smashed marijuana leaf and "My Little Pony," smoking a joint with bloodshot eyes.

It was supposed to be a cake "Moana", a film that Davis likes.

"[My mom] told them that I like cartoons, "Davis told HuffPost earlier this week. "That's why I wanted" Moana ", and I guess they put the pony out there as" cartoon "."

His message quickly became viral for the funny slippage.

Davis told HuffPost that the family knew that "it was an honest mistake" and "that it was hilarious".

But Cassandra Walker, a Dairy Queen employee who made the cannabis-themed ice cream cake, said Thursday at USA Today that she was fired for this mistake – it was not even her fault.

According to Walker, who worked at Dairy Queen for about a year, his manager was the one who misinterpreted the order and approved the design.

"The manager was behind me while I was shooting the images from the Internet," Walker told the newspaper. "It happened when I decorated the cake. When I packed the cake, it was she who walked to the front. "

When the family reported the mistake, Walker said the store had apologized and offered to make a new cake. But the resulting advertising led the store to lay off Walker, a mother of two, on Monday, his birthday.

When USA Today asked what was the decision, Al Autry, one of the owners of Dairy Queen, did not solve the problem. "When the client found her and said that it was not what she had ordered, we immediately apologized for this mistake and we proposed to redefine her as she did." had originally planned, "he said.

"It's not funny for me," Walker told the newspaper. "It's back to school. I have two little girls here. I have a car to repair. It's not funny for me.

Walker said that on Thursday afternoon, another store manager (not the one who approved the cake design) had called to offer to reinstate him. Walker declined, however, because of the way the store handled the incident, noting that she had always been an employee in good standing.

Davis did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment on the news of Walker's dismissal.
