Lucky Elizabeth got two cakes after Melin went back to Walmart and got her a cake with 'Happy Birthday Elizabeth' on top.
'My husband and I laughed about it together when he got home, enjoyed every bit of the loser cake,' said Melin.

Poor Elizabeth!

A mum was left in hysterics after a simple request for her toddler's birthday cake ended in her being labelled a 'loser' in red icing.
Melin Jones from Missouri, USA, went into her local Walmart to pick up a cake for her daughter Elizabeth's 2nd birthday.
Picking up a plain cake, she asked the worker behind the counter to ice 'Happy Birthday Lizard' on top. 'Lizard' being a cute nickname she's given her since birth.
But instead of writing 'Lizard' on the top, in a hilarious miscommunication the worker iced 'Loser' on the cake!
'I didn’t check...I’m in a hurry here as it’s the day before her birthday party,' Melin, 27, wrote on her Facebook page.
When she got home an unloaded the cake from the car, Melin noticed that the cake read 'Loser' not 'Lizard.
'I was pretty shocked. I didn't know what to think at first,' she said. 'Then after the shock wore off, I couldn't stop laughing!'
Giving the cake to Elizabeth, Melin snapped a photo and the result is pretty amazing.

'She can’t read. She doesn’t know what a loser is. She just happened to be making that facial expression when looking at the cake when I snapped the picture,' said Melin of the comedy photo.
