If you look at a real feather, you can see the sort of "spine" of the feather. So seeing the wires seems 100% on par with realistic feathers (both cake 1 & 3). But 3 was the only one who truly followed the prompt. 1. was gravity defying but not a gravity defying CAKE. 2 was confused. that's a 3d cake. and 3. followed the prompt beautifully.

[@alyciageiss4504]

100% agree with this.

[@reneecoons5057]

I thought the same thing about the wires in the feathers.

[@camaro720hp]

Yes! Bird nerd here, I thought it added to it. That cake is stunning and definitely my favorite.

[@AnestiTato]

that is what I thought about the wires too

[@solripetta9822]

I don't think the second one is a gravity defying cake and I was SO disappointed when I heard the horse in the first one was NOT a cake... The third one though, despite the wires, was my absolute favorite

[@Katie08822]

Yeah, the horse is essentially just an elaborate cake topper. It’s much much easier to stabilize a styrofoam sculpture covered in icing than an actual cake sculpture. The second cake probably required more careful structuring than the first one, even if it looks less impressive.

[@solripetta9822]

@@Katie08822 exactly. The second one has its merits but I think it didn't march the requirements

[@strayiggytv]

The third was the one that got the assignment. Even with the wiring it was a clear winner. I'm also really impressed they stuck with the white. So many cakes are a clashing mess .

[@katjapia8206]

Yes absolutly, same opinion here!

[@ronnie2820]

How do you expect someone to make a cake without using wires and etc? The cake obviously needs support it can’t just float

[@jordynfunk3732]

I feel like the gravity defying cake challenge needs to be done again, except give each bakery a photo of what you want and see who can best recreate it. Kind of like when you did that with your crayon box cake.

[@thecatsrules6915]

I definitely agree with this. It will be interesting to see especially to see if the cake is what is gravity defying.

[@LillybethLilyLeah]

[@andrewleeadkins93]

So for next in the series, an insane decorated cake that is BUTTERCREAM ONLY! No fondant, gum paste, etc. all decoration is butter cream only.

[@nikkip.Christ-is-King]

The bird was art. I don't think I've ever seem a more beautiful cake. WOW!

[@Sullivanin]

That was a lot of cake on two little legs for the owl cake. I’d call it gravity defying more than the Pegasus since the gravity defying part wasn’t cake. The owl cake was huge.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Exactly the legs hold so much weight.

[@BullDurham12321]

Yes! And sooo much detail!

[@sian2337]

Yeah, I had the same thought regarding the Owl cake.

[@dragonarya6]

I LOVE that peacock cake! I wouldn't be too bothered by seeing the wire slightly through the middle, since natural white feathers also tend to have a darker spine. It's stunning. I do think maybe a slight luster dusting with some of the gold already used in the design anyway would have made it even more dynamic. The pegasus is also gorgeous! And you get so much cake for your money, so I definitely think, based on bang for your buck, the pegasus definitely takes the cake. But for me, the peacockk wins. The character is cute, but def not gravity defying.

[@artyoucaneat]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@huntermarlette3415]

The peacock cake was clearly the best for the request. The horse one wasn’t even cake in the gravity defying section! Immediate disqualification for the category in my opinion.

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Yeah it's hard do one without showing how held up if it's white.

[@onidii]

@@artyoucaneat you're the bakery? It's amazing you did an amazing job! :)

[@dominiqueumali3871]

Was it peacock? I thought phoenix. Doing gradient to give feathers texture wouldve elevated it but no complaints. I was so glad she changed her mind at the end.

[@ruthlef]

The second one was definitely not gravity-defying in the sense that we think of it but it is for sure worth the $600 or more. Remember the grocery store cake you made into a two-tier wedding cake and a baker told you they would charge $500 for that?? This character cake has SO MUCH MORE detail and would take at least double the time. Don't you think?

[@xcorcist]

in that video I dont think she actually called a bakery for a quote, she cut the call out and just recorded her talking and a black screen. if she was really telling the truth i think she would put the bakery on speaker so that the viewers can actually hear the bakery saying it was worth that much. i think she was just saying that for clickbait lol. ive been thinking this exactly when watching all of her videos, how does her plain "500 dollar" wedding cake she made equal the same worth of that owl cake this baker made for $500.

[@yolandaponkers1581]

Yes. The second cake is definitely beyond her level.

[@jammielee5714]

But the Pegasus one wasn't a gravity defying cake. It was just a well-decorated sheet cake with a fancy topper.

[@beyondallmeasure]

[@jethro4453]

It was breathtaking and awe-inspiring that the gravity defying part was actually cake. That cake artist is truly skilled and understood the assignment.

[@dvybeyond]

If the flying bird was not just white but like a phoenix red-golden - it would have been INCREDIBLE! (also would have solved the wire-problem)

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Yes wish made it a Phoenix would definitely standed out more.

[@KylaA5952]

[@candy2325]

Omg this! That would have been so cool

[@Clarky1951]

All 3 are wonderful. The Animal little girl cake truly is adorable, and it she doesn’t meet the criteria. More as you say, a 3D character cake. Gravity defying should have an element hovering above the cake. And I totally concur with flying bird cake. Love that it was monochromatic. Had they dusted/coloured the feather structure, say silver or gold, that would have hidden the wires and given depth and more interest to the overall cake.

[@TheIcingArtist]

I agree! The owl was so cute but for sure more of a 3D cake. I so would have loved to see her stumbling on one foot or something!

[@Puglover130]

@@TheIcingArtist except you admitted that whaen you made the order, and they read it back they suggested chocolate “for 3D cakes” and you made no mention of correcting her at that time. So it’s very possible the order form said it was to be a 3D cake. I thought the owl cake was cutest tbh. The one on the left, the head facing backwards made it almost invisible and the way the feathers curled it just reminded me of a hint mound of toilet paper. And the horse one. Oh dear. The vignette was excellent with the attention to detail but I’d be devastated to get a HORSE cake for $600 I never got pubescent girls’ fascination & love for horses.

[@alyciageiss4504]

@@Puglover130 i mean it can be a gravity defying cake and a 3D cake so she shouldn’t have had to correct the baker about anything if she was already explicitly told the main feature was to be gravity defying. the last cake (the phoenix) was both 3D and gravity defying. so its totally reasonable for them to be talking about 3D cakes without any red flags going up that the bakery doesn’t understand what they’re supposed to do.

[@theRealSara]

Please do “deconstructing” episodes of these amazing cakes - we want to see how they put them together!

[@Angela-AScottishView]

I think the umbrella in the 2nd cake is a parasol. That’s why the character isn’t wet & would explain the ice cream. All beautiful cakes, the 3rd one is stunning!

[@amara560]

That would make some sense but usually parasols aren't black as the black colour absorbs light and warmth versus a lighter colour repelling it.

For the second cake, just wanted to point out, in many places, especially in Asia, people use umbrellas during summers to shield themselves from the sun as they’re walking. Since she has an ice cream in her hand, isn’t wearing gum boots and there are all those summer flowers, I’m assuming it could be a summer time cake instead of rainy season cake.. just my thoughts

[@dawnbisph4271]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@TosinAdeniyi]

$600 doesn’t feel like a lot for a gravity defying cake to me. Maybe I’m just overestimating the amount of work that the cakes require.

[@torizito9347]

I would agree the second cake was more so 3d than gravity defying

[@ThePeytonLeigh]

At first I thought the girl was also more 3D than gravity defying but if you consider how big her body is to how thin and small her legs are, I kind of buy it a little as gravity defying. I think the concept is just spring. Spring showers, playing outside, eating ice cream. I totally expected a valentines or galentines cake challenge. Maybe next year?

[@dietotaku]

i guess in the future when you want to make sure these bakeries stick to their specialty, you have to tell them. like specifically say to the high-end wedding cake shop "give me a gravity-defying *wedding* cake."

Cake #2 - a huge cake held up by two little sticks? Pretty good engineering. I'd call it gravity defying

[@MissLynnie22]

The peacock cake is absolutely stunning. I wish they had airbrushed it into a phoenix to make it just a bit more magical. Only my opinion, but a little coloring, such as a red-orange ombre or fire theme, might have made it really stand out while also hiding or distracting from some of the wiring more. Still absolutely loved it!!

More for the art and presentation with what's being paid coz you need expertise to know how some edible and non edible parts can work with each other

thats because your more so paying for the artistry that goes into the cake and less for the actual cake itself. if you just wanted to buy a simple sheet cake youd get tremendously more cake for way less money because it would be alot less time/work/skill going into that. cakes like these are more like paying for edible art and art is expensive. i personally agree that i would never pay $600 for such little cake but thats just because i cant fathom paying so much money for art thats gonna get eaten vs art id keep forever. not saying these cakes arent worth that much money, just saying to me personally its not worth it to spend my money on one.

The pegasus was amazing too of course, and the detailing on the scenery was amazing, though I wonder what the pegasus itself was made of? Styrofoam?

I’d like to see a mash up cake challenge. For instance, my youngest graduated high school on my 50th bday. Typically we order an elaborate multi tiered cake for graduation (party) that incorporates all the special sport, hobby, school themes/colors and shows off what college they’re heading to & what they’re studying. So it’s ultimately over the top personal to the grad. But since a 50th bday (especially mom’s), and it signals the beginning of empty nest life... both should be celebrated in one mash up epic cake (as an example).

[@BENZ_ASMR]

The one with the pegasus would have "won" for me, but that baker cheated, IMO. The only "gravity defying" part was just a really cool topper. The owl may not be super impressive from a gravity standpoint, but I would expect to pay $500+ for it in my area. The last cake is really impressive, but I agree that the black wires really detract from the "wonder/mystery" of a gravity defying cake...they could have also dusted more of the feathers in the gold just to give them a bit more dimension and define them a bit more because looking at it from far away, the feathers kind of look like scruffy fur. They are all better than I could do, though, so good for them! :)

[@esobelisk3110]

I feel like the reason they were all still standing after 24 hours, is that the bakeries knew the cakes were high risk, and made extra sure they would keep standing, while with some of the other 3D cakes, they might have underestimated how much structure the cake would need.

I don't think the criticism of "oh I can see the wire, I know where the pipe is that holds it up" is warranted. There is absolutely no way to make that cake without those things. None. I often make gravity defying objects and I 'm sorry but there is no universe where there isn't some wire or pipe under it. Furthermore, it's a tiny bit unfair that you say "oh I could never do this kind of thing" but then proceed to say "well I dont'want to see the wire and this and this" which is a tad unfair.

My favorite of all the Icing Artist videos! which amazes me because normally I like seeing you decorate far more than the "paid bakery contest" videos. As to the question, were they all worth $600? They weren't all equal... Whatever is fair for the Phoenix and Pegasus, the umbrella chick should be about 10-12% less. But I'm using "artistic impact" for that. Cost/Value per serving would have a very different result.

I’m curious where the leftovers of the cakes go? Do you guys eat all of them, do you give them to your neighbors and relatives and friends, do you give them to the people on the streets, or do you just throw them away? Cos I really doubt that you finish all of those humongous amounts of cake.

I wanna know where the cakes go too, it’d be a waste to find out if all of those tasty cakes are being thrown out

First cake - I loved it completely, until you mentioned how little cake you get for that price. Kind of ruined it for me. Second cake - not what I would have expected, its cute but I wanted much more surprise. Third cake - I agree completely with the black wires needing to be white. Otherwise it was a great concept and really nice. I feel like there should be at least a touch of color somewhere. With that being said, I would have to pick the first cake for overall concept, I just wish there was more actual cake for the price.

I absolutely love the peacock cake! But I so wish they would have done it in color! If it was in color it would just be so breathtaking!

Here is my opinion: 1) The first one was amazing. Briliantly detailed and overall show stopping. However, it wasn't exactly a gravity defying cake. One of the reasons gravity-defying cakes are so hard to make is because cake is very heavy, so it needs a well thought-out support structure, but if the gravity-defying part is not even cake, I don't think it should count. 2) It wasn't gravity-defying at all. It was beautiful and an amazing 3-D cake, but that's it. I think the umbrella part was supposed to be 'gravity-defying', but is it truly defying gravity if there is an entire human structure holding it up? 3) Now this was what I like to call gravity-defying. I personally didn't mind the wires, as it kind of brought a realistic feel to it. Birds have quite dark spine structure which is usually visible through feathers. Kind of like veins on our wrists. In front of the pegasus, I get how it can look a bit bland, and perhaps it would have been much better if they had coloured it red-orange to make it look like a phoenix but even now, it is so beautiful and the intricate designs are just brilliant.

The 3rd one wins for me. The craftsmanship is out of this world!

That first cake is amazing to look at! It’s sad that there’s not much cake there, but as a visual showstopper…it’s beautiful. ❤
