Police in Bloomfield Township are investigating after local Kroger employees said a woman upset with a pre-ordered birthday cake for her son drop-kicked the cake in the store and walked out.
Officers were called at 2 p.m. on June 11 to the Kroger store at 4099 Telegraph Road to investigate an alleged instance of disorderly conduct.
A manager told police that a woman came into the bakery section of the story to pick up a special order
Superman vs. Batman birthday cake for her 7-year-old son.
“Employees told the woman that she could not be behind the counter,” police said in a prepared statement.
This infuriated the woman, causing her to take the cake to the front of the counter and ‘drop kick’ it.”
Pieces of the cake and frosting flew throughout the store’s bakery section, said the manager.
The woman left the store and kicked a “Wet Floor” sign down on her way out, employees told investigators.
Officers later got the woman’s name and telephone number from the bakery and talked with her. She said the design on the cake was poor quality and not what she expected.
The woman saw the design on the cake and was not pleased, the manager said, so she went behind the bakery counter and tried to fix it herself.

woman also told authorities she went behind the counter because employees told her to. She denied kicking the cake, saying instead that it slipped out of her hand, police said.
A witness to the incident had a third version of the story, saying the woman threw the cake to the ground, stepped on in several times and yelled, “They [expletive] ruined my 7-year-old’s birthday cake!”
Kroger does not have video of the incident. The investigation remains open.
