I really liked this guy. He's a pastry chef, but he didn't come across like he's better than everyone else. And I liked that his reviews were honest; he admitted that sometimes he just wants a simple, easy cake and he knows that not everyone can just make desserts from scratch and that there is no shame in that.

look I grew up in a scratch-only house and it is actually kind of alarming how we can identify food dye COLORS by how they taste. Real vanilla, fake vanilla is much easier. It would be really funny to get a panel of cake and non-cake chefs/bakers and see who knows whats up tho ;)

[@L.Spencer]

@@ghost_cities I think I got that from when he says, "I pretend to be sophisticated but I'm really garbage." I'm not sure if he's talking about the cake or himself that he likes cheap Halloween candy, but I was kind of surprised it related to the chocolate cake. I think those are usually the best boxed cake mixes compared to the others. Sorry for my negative reaction, I'm going to delete it.

[@ghost_cities]

Loraine Spencer I think that he meant that he secretly likes the taste, although he’s supposed to be a professional pastry chef. It was a light hearted joke to relate himself more to the audience.

[@lunarmaiden6660]

He’s a professional

[@asleeplessgamer]

Ethan Knifsend His opinion is incredibly flawed too, has he never heard of dense cake? Not all cake is spongy. Somehow most of the cakes were "too moist" as well. I actively try to make my cakes as moist as possible. I don't appreciate eating dry go-for-a-glass-of-water cake. The only way a cake could be too moist is if when you press it with a fork it literally bleeds.

[@ceryseira]

Yeah, the trained pastry chef's opinion and view of what cake should be like is flawed... ahem... smh

[@lisagray6148]

asleeplessgamer That cake looked nasty though. Dense in a very bad way.

asleeplessgamer That is opinion based. Also, dense cakes have different ingredients, types and methods. That there is a failed sponge cake. No doubt about it.

My sister in law sells cakes to locals and claims to be a pastry chef but she uses boxed cake mix and has never made anything homemade in her life. She decorates well, that's it.. she's a decent artist with store bought fondant. Meanwhile, I make everything by hand but my cakes just look like cake. People say that the things I bake are delicious but they oooh and aaah over her decorations. If I could stand working with her I'd suggest a partnership. 😂

[@keionnac]

You should take a cake decorating class and buy some piping tips and practice..soon you will be better than her

[@annettemint]

That’s too funny. A lot of bakeries actually use mixes for consistency. They may add more ingredients to make it appear homemade. I’ve been able to fool people by adding more eggs, pudding and a good quality vanilla. I’m also not claiming to be a pastry chef though. Haha!

[@nestorville8201]

I know a lot of people who do this. They get a big ego and even lie about their professional background, or lack thereof. They might watch some baking videos or take a free decorating class, then think they could totally be a professional baker or pastry chef, without the training. They don't even make their own fondant nor even know what marzipan is, so it's the straight up nasty fondant. But, if people want to pay a lot of money for nasty cake, that's on them.

[@happybunnyntx]

There was a woman on reddit that owned up to that a few years ago. She could decorate with the best of them, but used boxed cake. After spilling her secret she took some time and now makes everything from scratch.

Very fruity, but hey if I was gay. Id be his bear no problem.

[@prod.kidmizu]

chris86simon 😂 that's true

[@ritesh6487]

And gay.

[@millennialdisposition]

I use boxed cake mix but they call for water, I add whole milk. Since there's no butter it's good to have that fatty milk in there. Also instructions say to throw everything together in one bowl, but you can actually whip the eggs, milk, and oil together first and then add half the cake mix, mix it together, add the remaining half. That kinda helps

[@b.9629]

Abdullah Ansari also, adding an extra egg and a teaspoon of vanilla works wonders too!

[@cce8632]

Good tip thanks!

1:41 THIS THIS IS THE DESCRIPTION OF RED VELVET I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL MY LIFE

[@irenaaudila3733]

It's red. It's red velvet😂😂😂

[@schokomarzi533]

And hence the cocoa flavor that he's talking about , it turns it all around Making red velvet from scratch may actually be 100% worth the extra energy expenditure

[@nisai0714]

This guy is like a sophisticated Shane dawson. But also with standards.

This chef is a judge on many MAAANY food network pastry competitions and he always brings a fun charismatic energy with him, Love him!!

[@youngapirate11]

I like that this guy wasn't pretentious and snobby. Boxed cake can be good and the results are predictable. I like baking homemade cakes, but sometimes a box is the way to go.

[@Kanerlove88]

Zac was one of my favourite contestants from Top Chef: Just Desserts. He’s a great pastry chef and also has a great personality

[@MelisaSJ]

Vasanthy Veera Kumar sameeeee

[@miarugio4806]

i like how he was respectful while giving his honest opinion:)

[@tamoramuir2089]

I love this! "It's chocolate cake. How can it be bad?" But so right, that a homemade cake from scratch takes about 5 minutes more to mix and is SO much better. You can use the real vanilla and butter (I didn't use to--it's pricey, but now I can afford it and I'm glad. Same with butter over margarine. Plus no trans fats.). All of my kids get homemade birthday cakes. I'm certainly no professional, especially in the decorating department, but I can certainly handle a basic frosting. And they love choosing their own cake and frosting. That ISN'T buttercream. BUT there is so much you can do with a cake mix to make other types of desserts when you're in a hurry. And it's very cool way to start kids out in the kitchen. They learn to read a recipe, follow directions, prepare the cake pan, set the timer--and they get an awesome reward when they're done. It works like a charm to get kids cooking. No child of mine will be dependent on the cafeteria, take out, or ramen noodles in college. The cake mix does the trick.

[@bri4026]

I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HIM FROM SOMEWHERE! He is from Unique Sweets and Unique Eats on the Cooking Channel

[@aditichincholi]

[@summi7628]

I love gay people!!! Always down-to-earth and handsome. Btw I'm straight as a pole.

[@xxmoss]

I'm pretty sure he's from Top Chef: Just Desserts, I forget which season though

[@Ms7of8]

Yup, making a cake from scratch, after one gets the knack of it, is really a breeze. The main trick is not to over-mix, that's when the cake can get tough and unpleasantly heavy.

[@ArunaKhudan]

honestly, my cakes came out great UNTIL I actually had an order, then every thing that could go wrong went wrong!!! I was making cakes from scratch

[@fayepatrice1672]

He is right when he says it doesn’t take any more time. I haven’t bought a boxed mix in years because there is just no point.

[@sashaxo4021]

The chocolate cake review 💀 It smells really nostalgic... like the inside of a bag of tootsie rolls. Which I think is a good thing.. It tastes like really cheap Halloween candy, which I’m okay with... I pretend to be sophisticated but um, I’m really garbage. Lmao! 😂😂

[@rogerklent3746]

I never really understood these comments your literally writing down everything he says and putting an emoji at the end and have that many thumbs up no hate I just never understand the logic behind that.

[@sashaxo4021]

bryan suarez Im not sure if you’re looking for complex reasoning behind my comment but you won’t find it. I just quoted the lines I thought were hilarious. I’m guessing everyone who liked the comment also found the same lines funny. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They really should have had him sample the exact same kind of cake from different brands so that we know the best one to buy!
