Cake 1 2 stars rating ❤❤❤❤ Cake 2 1 star rating ❤❤❤❤❤

[@fairydancetoys]

the chocolate raspberry cake I would give five stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 for the flavor on design I would give it one star 🌟 since it looks like a bird crashed into the cake and died on it with the feathers 🪶 or rather plants that look like feathers 🪶 put all over it lol 😆 . The lemon raspberry cake i would give four stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟 on the lemon raspberry flavor and three stars 🌟 🌟🌟 for the design as does look off balance but it's hard to see due to all the flowers 💐.

The feather looking stuff on the second cake is pampas grass, it's not considered toxic, but the edges can be sharp, I would not recommend putting it on a cake

​@@timeiswhat except it's meant to feed 30 people. You cannot feed 30 people with that tiny topper without giving ant sized bites and removing layers. It's ridiculous. Even if the bride and groom have extra cake left over [which is what some people complain about in the comments apparently?] It's not the baker's decision to decide what the bride and groom do with the extra cake by saying 'it's too much for you so we will use styrofoam.' No, I want 100% cake unless only 1 tier itself is cake [mainly top if anything], not 90% of it. So $800 for that? I'd be livid tbh...

Yes its a big difference. Especially if ur charged for fondant, and that was a thick layer.

It should be agreed on. The styrofoam is cheaper, for weddings and other big themed cake alot of people dont need such a big cake, they just want the look of a big cake. Hence styroohone is used to actually keeps costs lower. However that second cake was very pricey for the quality of decorations, and the size of what was actually cake, her issue was not that tgere was fake cake. She expected that, and both cakes had it, and she knew which layer was the real cake

So now I'm curious if a 5 star bakery would give you three cake instead of two blocks of styrofoam.

[@midniteillusion3]

It’s based on price and what you order. It’s common for bigger cakes to not be all cake. You don’t need that big of a cake ti serve 30 people, which is how many she said it would feed. But you want the statement piece at your wedding/celebration so it needs to be “big”.

Here's my amateur-baker's POV. I would keep the chocolate with raspberry combination for the top cake and make classic vanilla and lemon for the bottom. Only the middle part will be faux cake because I'm not a pro. But a working bakery should be able to make the whole thing edible so no excuses there. Both of the prices were way high given the amount of cake you received. The dollar store flowers I agree with. They don't have to be super fancy, they just have to look good. And yes, because you gave an inage, they should have used a wooden board or just cover it with wood imitating contact paper. But thats just my amateur opinion.

[@kathleenardrey5094]

[@dawnwatkins6554]

My mom did a Topsy tervy cake for my Nieces wedding and a side sheet cake for the second flavor. Her brother started his toast by welcoming everyone to the "birthday party" my Niece had the cake decorated in green and blue with stripes and poka dots. My brother made the top piece with Palmer clay. My mom must have made 2-3 mock up cakes to practice before doing the real one. She had done many cakes before having owned a cake bakery that specialized in wedding cakes for 5 years. But she didn't have much experience with fondant. She did use marshmallow fondant though, much easier and tastyier.😮

[@katringibbins4270]

You are amazingly generous. For me, both failed in making a topsy turvy. Just ONE of the three building blocks was actual cake, and of course the bakerys both picked one of the straigth blocks.

You are so kind when rating these bakeries. I think the important thing to remember with rating some of these bakeries is to remember that people are probably choosing these bakeries because of financial constraints so the cake they purchase is a focal point to the occasion. These bakeries deserve their one star rating and I think that you were far too kind with giving them the basic they got the shape and idea right.... It would have been better if it was all cake but smaller sizes. The ratio between the image and the actual cakes was well and truly off, along with the flowers, colouring and added 'touches'. That grass/feather thing is disgusting in appearance and should not be anywhere near food. Taking into consideration ratio, execution, and edibility, then I would say that they are ratings of 1 if not -3. Definitely not worth the money. It would have been interesting to see this with 1-5 star bakeries to see the difference, also put in a max price for each bakery.... Another video perhaps?

They ordered a sheet cake for the wedding reception. The wedding cake was likely not large enough to accommodate all of the invited guests. Supplemental sheet cakes are highly common at wedding receptions so that all guests get a reasonably sized piece of cake. Some wedding couples may also choose not to hand out wedding cake pieces to anyone who is not immediate family… again the reason for one or more sheet cakes.

Ok I've never watched one of your videos before but I instantly liked you! You have such a light personality that definitely makes people smile! Also, the way you and your husband joke and laugh is so freaking cute! and your dog is so fluffffyyyy!!! Thanks for the great content!☺

Artistically both seemed really heavy handed in comparison to the inspiration cake. It's hard to pick between them but I'd lean more toward the more expensive but more palatable one.

LOVE the Queen t-shirt.

Thanks!! It's from Torrid! LOVE them!

Thanks for your videos! I'll never regret ordering a plain red velvet with no extra decoration for my wedding from my favorite bakery. Their work is worth the extra charges but if it goes out of a budget, choose flavor over looks.

Your 1 vs 5 star vids are my fav!!❤

Those prices for styrofoam cakes is WILD I would of thrown that shit at them and got my money back. That’s sickening and down right theft.

[@Chicago60644]

Thank you for the review. Love your energy!

You should try recreating the image you sent to 1-star bakeries! You would do soooo much better! Oh… and all cake

[@kathyc6698]

I love when you do these reviews. However I am amazed thAt theY never get the color right. That was clearly a blush pink cake? Anyway love these videos

They look DRY. I'm out of touch with wedding cake prices. I'd make my own before paying more than $300 for an amazing cake. I hate fondant. I do light buttercream basecoat then colored whipped cream oe merengue icing. I've done 7 layer cakes with no bases in between. Light, fluffy & moist. There is never much left at parties.

I am absolutely loving the hair!!

[@kobisjeruk]

Well, one thing for sure, they deserve the 1-star rating.

[@saralazizii]

Can u try doing hyper realistic cakes? It would be rlly cool and fun!

[@TheIcingArtist]

YES!!! I really want to attempt one. What should I make??

[@saralazizii]

@@TheIcingArtistOmg tysm for replying!! And maybe u can do a handbag???

[@kristy4619]

I think you're giving way too high a rating. For that price it's more like a 1.5. Even if the taste is ok that price is insane

I love Archie he is such a cute dog he always makes me smile

[@TheChocoDoll]

Your channel makes me feel so happy. It's like a doze of good vibes in 1 video. You're so beautiful inside out and adorable and funny. Thanks for bringing joy in my life. And endless cake cravings 😂 Oh and about the cakes, lol, I can see why they are 1 star bakeries...😅

[@lubbidium6435]

Loved the video, just wasn’t exactly loving the cutaway edits. Felt a little distracting

[@annikaliveshow]

hey Laurie, I Like your video, but these input scenes, when reading the reviews or telling story are really distracting

[@savvysinister7571]

This was such a cute video, loved all the little bits about getting the cakes❤

[@fionachadwick8005]

Archie’s fur is like fluffy marshmallow icing, he is adorable
