North Carolina native Karly Pavlinac Blackburn hoped to whip up a recipe for success buy having a cake with her resume printed on it delivered to Nike's main campus in Oregon.
- Her mission got a huge assist from her Instacart delivery driver, Denise Baldwin.
- Saying she was "shocked" when the order came in at her local grocery store, Baldwin added "I've always wanted to deliver to Nike, but I know that there's a lot of security behind it."
- Baldwin wasn't going to let Blackburn, who had been laid off from her marketing job, down: "I had told her on the phone when I was at security, 'Don't worry, I'm going to make sure that this gets to the right person for you because I know how important this is for you, and that means that it's important for me. I talked to security and they were like, 'You can just leave the cake,' and I was like, 'No, I need to make sure it gets delivered to boss Mac Myers."'
- Baldwin's determination hopefully earned her five stars on Instacart, because she sent a picture of Myers holding the cake as proof of delivery.
- Blackburn's story has since gone viral on LinkedIn; she's yet to hear from Nike about a job - or how the cake tasted.
