I Ordered a Cake from a ZERO vs. 5 HYGIENE RATING Bakery

[@HoangHuy-ns3jq]

That boba cake is a thing here in Vietnam. Most of the time, the boba part will come in a separate container from the cake to retain its original taste and gummy texture. When you want to dig in, just gently place the boba on top, and voila

[@rachelcookie321]

Yea, when I saw the thumbnail I thought “ain’t that a boba cake?”. They’re definitely a thing already.

Alot of this video trends were strted by Raphael.. Yet i saw alot of people not giving him credit for his video ideas. Raphael has one of the most creative mind when it comes to video ideas.

[@Kiki-cs8xv]

FYI, at that first bakery, those cakes were in a beverage chiller, not a refrigerator. It's generally recommended that food isn't stored in beverage chillers because they don't distribute the cold air evenly between the shelves, so the food can end up reaching a higher temperature than is safe.

[@sitri4013]

I'm glad to see positive comments in the comment section... There are a lot of people complementing him, his ideas and his contents. In his previous videos years ago, the comment section is filled with a lot of negative feedbacks like "Wow, you're stupid" or things like "Bruh yoir contents are not good, fake". May he gain a lot more followers who truly supports him.

[@christina-fe8lu]

right?! like i never understood what part of his videos ever made them call him dumb like....

[@srinithi4729]

The first bakery is definitely an indian bakery because there are items like gulab jamun and veg samosa, also the cake in the beverage chiller had design elements of a lot of indian cakes (chocolate shavings and a maraschino cherry). That bakery might not have specialized in cakes specifically because indian desserts are heavy with fried food soaked in sugar not iced cakes, but yeah it definitely look cluttered and disorganized!

[@dismy4282]

This cake is quite common here in some countries of Asia and it does taste good! The only difference is, baker would exclude the pearls from placing it on top of the cake early and they would put in a different container, so once arrived you can pour it on top of the cake yourself and the taste is exquisite.

[@mikaelastefkova]

That sounds so good!

[@rachelcookie321]

Yea, when I saw the thumbnail the first thing I thought is that it looked like a bubble tea cake

[@duallove6909]

You are not stupid. Great idea for a cake. They should’ve covered the boba pearls with a light jelly like they do for freuit cakes and tarts to preserve them from drying or welting. Or they could’ve made dark jelly ballads to use instead of boba balls.

[@jessicapeyton5444]

I agree, I think there are ways to combat what happened. They probably just didn't predict it because it was the first time they made something like that

[@justelise316]

Or they could have given him the boba pearls off to the side. They're wet, they're meant to BE wet... I'd find it understandable if I received such a cake after ordering and was told to not put the pearls on till serving.

[@poultryman575]

I mean, the cake he made also wasn't completely original like he thought, other people made a bunch of bubble tea cakes, so the concept is definitely not stupid, it's just the execution was a little off

[@alexquest6217]

@@poultryman575 Obviously he probably knows it exists, Boba tea everything kinda was the hype, in some places it still is, but IMO it’s fading but anyhow anyone with a sliver of awareness on their socials would definitely know boba flavoured ANYTHING is a trend. A person so self conscious that they have to go for Botox injections, nose and jaw fillers can’t possibly not be aware on the latest trends 🤷🏻‍♀️ so he’s basically demeaning himself so that he can get compliments.

This type of cake is very popular in asia 2 years ago, it call "Bubble milk tea lava cake". The tapioca pearl on the top of the cake have to be kept warm separately when it arrive and be poured on the cake by customer when they eat.

[@heerubolly]

Interesting

[@Quinn-Harrison]

The bobba tea cake seems like something that needs to be finished at the event before it's revealed to everyone. Like just keep the caramel on the cake but they just pour on the pearls and sauce right before they cut into it and serve it

[@eLReyyyyyy]

They needed to give him the boba in sauce on the side and then it could be poured on at the last minute before it gets cut. That way they’ll be soft and chewy for eating and they’ll look pretty still

[@Smile-ni9nc]

Yess!!! Then the cake also wouldn't be soaked so much

[@CM-yz3ze]

We actually have bubble tea/boba cakes here in Ontario - it's a mini lava cake that has a mousse topping with the tapioca pearls sitting in the mousse. You can get regular flavour, and also brown sugar! They're made by Bakecode and sold at Chatime, but looking online, it seems like a bunch of places sell these cakes as well!

[@priscilla6339]

Boba cake is very popular in Asia, the Boba pearls should be eaten on the day they are made. My family own a bubble tea place and we often make more than one batch of tapioca pearls each day since they lose their chewiness very fast. We would never use a batch from the day before since they would be hard by the second day. When we make bubble tea at home we would also finish the pearls in one day before they lose their chewiness

[@priscilla6339]

you should also never put the pearls into a fridge or freezer

[@jessicapatterson3711]

well.. if the cake had been sitting around for 2 days that's probably why the tapioca pearls are dry

[@relaxingzone005]

lol

[@lisa_chogiwa4096]

lol

[@QuackZack]

"Guys... like both of the pearls are dry and they're grossly damp on some layers." SIR, you left a cake with a very moist topping chilling for two days, of course it's gonna ruin the cake. You would've have a much better experience if you didn't leave them to soak in their own boba juices for two days and enjoyed immediately or at least removed the boba and refrigerated the cakes.

Probably if there was a layer of hard tempered white chocolate with caramel over which the tapioca pearls were spread just before setting would've prevented the water from getting inside the cake. Or else they could have sent a separate container with tapioca pearls sitting inside a pourable caramel sauce to drizzle over the cake once it arrived

[@sithengchiew8299]

Actually, boba cake is really popular in Asia since a long time already. Now they're even doing boba lava cakes + testing other flavors/texture. It's just never been done in the UK. So, your idea is plausible. However, the pearls should be eaten fresh just like how bubble-teas should be drank on the day it's made or else it'll harden in the fridge.

I hate the fact that 0 star bakery doesnt give any effort to make a good cake. The fact that is cheap doesnt mean that you to do a horrible cake. For the bubbles they could used blueberries to make a similar effect. And please, a caramel dripping its not so difficult to make. Actually if you dont know how to make a caramel sauce, just use caramel chocolate from callebaut and heavy cream, and done! really sad, looks like they didnt give a shit.

Even though the first cake was somewhat naked it still had been kinda patched up with some cream, which might have been a subtle way to cover up the fact that the cake was soggy. They probably did it because they knew that the tapioca pearls would kinda make the sponge much wetter and also because store bought cakes' sponge is always sogged more then it should to not make the cake dry during delivery and if the cake lasts more than the same day. I would have honestly expected better but in their defense you gave them a kinda difficult task and also looked happy with the result, which is what matters XD
