Here is the article Drudge is linking to, which is from the Macon GA paper (Macon is just down the road from McDonough). I think it is a bit more candid...
The cake she originally asked for had an American Flag and a blue line. When they refused to make that cake, she asked for a plain chocolate cake with just a blue line on it, and they refused to make that too! She went to Kroger and had the cake made there (apparently without incident)

“So, although the mistake was ‘made right,’ I will still not be shopping at Walmart due to the ‘quality’ of employees they hire,” Wilkes added.
