I was wondering what a 3000$ cake would be like and I really understood it when I saw the entire package. Like, the tastings, the consulting, your specific wishes and the HOURS AND DAYS she spent on that. Wow. I'm an artist myself and I know it's really controversial how you put a price on art. But after seeing some of this huge process, I can imagine it was justified.

[@chrise8316]

Prices are so different in Europe/Austria. No one in their right mind would pay so much for a cake. One ordinary cake costs about 30-40€. I had seven different cakes including my 2tier wedding cake and petitfours and payed 400€. I worked as a pastry chef too, the most expensive cake my shop ever made was a 1.20m long sailing ship priced at 700€ with inflation nowadays maybe 1000€ but not more.

What a beautiful cake. Loved that she vlogged some of the steps she went through to make the cake……those flowers are amazing , it was fun to see some of the process. Unbelievable that the venue was able to regroup after the storm and still be able to host a wedding….plus the wedding photos looked beautiful.

[@katelynmcclain6494]

My husband and I made our wedding cake. It was actually really fun to spend that special time together. It was way cheaper too. Just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary this last week. 💕

[@buckaroobonsaibuddy7]

All these people spending fortunes making their special day look like everyone else's special day with the same standard venue. Wedding receptions should all take place in the church's musty, dimly lit basement with an adequate cake made by a family friend you exploit for a free labor.

[@LinA-it9vd]

Here is an idea: what if you did the 3 bakery making an expensive cake/ vs you AND you had them vlog their experience similar to how you did in this video! Sure it would be a longer video but that would be super cool 😅 and you made your own version of the cake idea without seeing theirs!!!

[@waureenkyriacou5056]

[@cmdub97]

Dude! I love your friend's attitude about the chaos during her wedding. Props to her for having optimism about the whole thing. She's such a trooper. My wedding, we had to find a way to get out of a blizzard that nearly had us trapped inside the venue where we were staying. We had to get married in our yard just below the snowfall line. It was Springtime in Arizona for crying out loud! 😂

I really loved that Alexander actually filmed the baking of the cake, and talked through some of what she was doing. That is going above and beyond for you and your channel.

Wow, these cakes were phenomenal! I love her designs. This inspires an appreciation for the beautiful flower skills.

[@eirintowne]

I wouldn't have thought it possible, but I have to admit that cake was actually worth 3000 dollars! That was a fantastic piece of art, and the artist spent a lot of time and effort just to reach the state of being able to offer to make the cake, and then spent many more hours and energy on the basics of creating the different items that combined into a cake. On top of that, she brought the cake personally and took her time to assemble it where it would be viewed, and the result was definitely visual perfection. Wish I could have tasted, it sure looks like nothing is s accidental or just assembly line about any detail of each layer of cake, so it must have been as good on the inside as on the outside!

[@bunkertons]

We also had carrot cake as one of the layers for my wedding cake! It's my husband's absolute favorite flavor, but he prefers it with regular buttercream frosting instead of cream cheese frosting. Very unexpected for a wedding cake, especially with no cream cheese frosting or filling, but a hit nonetheless!
