honestly using boxed mix isn't a mortal baking sin. They're a solid base that turns out consistent results, and if the decorating is more your strength they can let you focus on that. Here's an easy way to make a boxed cake mix better: add 1 small box instant pudding in a matching flavour, 1 extra egg and an extra 1/4 cup oil (and consider swapping half the oil with melted butter). Sub out the water with milk or (even better) buttermilk It will be extra moist and flavourful, with a really nice crumb texture. Not too heavy, not too delicate.

Someone who knows a lot about baking here: Cake mix can be used in bakeries, but they aren't expensive Like That unless it's an incredibly complex cake (the rainbow cake is not with the way she made it.) Most cakes have a thin layer of frosting called the crumb layer, it catches crumbs and makes them less likely to cause distortions in the final design. Fomdant isnt very tasty for most, so when its used it's typically a thin layer or is used more like a cake topper, something that gets removed before consumption.

little tip from an at home baker: cake pans that DONT slide into eachother would make the cakes be prefectly straight (like you cant shove the same size pan in the other, it just would sorta sit on it) and to make store bought icing fuller, melt it a bit in the microwave and slap it in a stand mixer or a bowl with a hand mixer, just incorperate air into it and itll puff up a lil bit! If you dont have store icing, 4 sticks of room temp butter, mixed until sooth and 4-5 cups of powdered sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla extract (or any extract) and a pinch of salt, slowly add the powdered sugar because it will make a mess! mix on medium for about 8-13 minutes or until its fukky mixed, making sure to turn the icing over so nothing is stuck to the sides of the bowl or the bottom.

[@bluefeye]

As a cake decorator at a grocery store, but by no means an expert, a couple points: * it's okay to use box cake mix as a cake maker/decorator, but you need to be transparent about it and make sure your customers know. It's also okay if you use the box cake mix as a base and then add or remove things to alter the recipe, but again, your customer should know (especially for potential allergies). Many large scale companies that sell decorated cakes actually source the cake part from a different company that provides pre-made, frozen cakes, and they taste just fine. But you can't lie to your customers about what you're using. * there are better ways to apply sprinkles on a cake. Typically, you can hold the cake in one hand (by using a cake board), and then with another hand (with a glove), you can scoop and gently pat the sprinkles onto the side. Some people do this over a large tub of sprinkles, and others do it over a long tray. Sometimes, people even chill the cake for a few minutes to get the frosting firm, and then roll the cake directly in the sprinkles. * she could have improved the appearance of the cake by piping a simple white border around the top or bottom. She could have used no sprinkles on the top to add contrast between the icing and sprinkles. She could have only done the bottom half of the sides in sprinkles. She could have forgone sprinkles altogether and simply using coloured icing to pipe a border. She could have put the sprinkles in the icing layers. She has many options. * when cooks, bakers, or many people who handle food have an option between gloves and bare hands, it's usually easier to just use your bare hands (it's better for firmer grips, and gloves can get messy because people tend to not change their gloves as often as they should). As long as you thoroughly wash your hands after touching anything other than the cake, you're good to go. That said, when working with sprinkles and icing, I don't know why she didn't opt for gloves, because that would have been easier in that instance. Professionalism isn't really the concern here, it's the health, safety, and practicality aspects that matter. * added onto the concern about lack of gloves from above, the weird red and brown stains/leakage are concerning. Cake batter being spilled is understandable, but cross-contamination between different foods is frowned upon and could even get you in hot water with the law if it triggers allergies. I also question how she washes her pans for cakes (hot water? Soap? Sanitizer? I know the food safety laws for Canada but I'm unsure about America). * many people gripe over the prices of cakes from small business owners, but they aren't cheap from grocery stores, either. Off the top of my head, from my own grocery store, if you want an 8 inch round cake (two layers) that was decorated in-store, it's going to be around $19.99 (CAN). If you want an 8 inch (two layer) cake from another company that we sell in our counter, it's between $24.99 and $34.99 (CAN). If you want something below $15, you need to buy a smaller pre-made, generic cake off the shelf. Don't even get me started on the price of sheet cakes (which can be between $35.00 and $90.00 CAN). And those prices are considered cheap in the cake economy. If you're buying from a smaller business, the cost is going to be higher based on the ingredients they buy locally, the time spent on the cake, and the competition and how popular they are. It is not surprising to pay over $70 for a custom cake. HOWEVER, after seeing the quality of the cakes this girl is selling, I think she is over-pricing her skill. I have deep respect for what people believe their work is worth, but you can get a cake from the grocery store that will look the same for substantially cheaper. * the lying and the drama ... I can't get over that part. I expect that from an influencer, but the smart business decision would be to apologize and refund the customer to make sure that your customer base remains happy with you. The cost of doing that now will be much cheaper than potentially losing tons of customers in the future. Plus, this damages the company image, and puts their trustworthiness at risk. The fact that she is purposefully antagonizing the public is not something I think she can afford - she's not a multi-million dollar company that can just fix their PR - and that's going to be the biggest business expense.

So I have some experience in a US dessert kitchen (in FL). We weren't in charge of making the desserts, but we plated them and put them on a buffet. Any and all food handling required gloves, and everything got washed in hot soapy water and a verified sanitizer at the end of the night or went through an industrial dishwasher that combines the wash and rinse cycles. In no world would we have been allowed to handle sprinkles with bare hands, even if they were freshly washed. This was at a corporate level, so it's possible a small, local business would be under slightly less strict guidelines, but even so, those bowls would absolutely not fly. It looks like either two different mixes were put in the same bowl, one after the other, without wash/rinse/sanitizing in between, or the bowl somehow had cooked cake bits stuck to it while she was making a new batter. Either way, cross contamination city, and an absolute no no.

[@ruitakanashixD]

oh my god thank you kind person for making this comment you gave a lot of good points! i can say in my parts most of this is true based on my experience and what i have study and yes i agree with the statement that there some people tends to forget to change the gloves often as they should since like you said gloves that been used already in other sensitive/easily contaminated Food to another food or surface could cost a Cross contamination whenever its unintentional or not.

My mom was a pastry chef and spent most of her time in French style bakeries, but also did cakes.

That cake looks like one of my first attempts on my own as a 13 year old teenager trying to make a birthday cake for someone. It also looks a little melty and crooked. It helps to chill your cake before spreading frosting, and making the frosting fresh so it spreads easily... That's about all I remember.

As a daughter of 2 pastry chefs I am amused by this. I' grew up playing with fondant instead of play-doh and my parents have taught me all they know about their careers. My first red flag is that the cake on 2:42 seems to be TILTLED. Which is probably from uneven layers or she may have applied too much buttercream on one side of the cake causing the weight to tilt it down. On 2:50 you can see her using her hands to spread out the sprinkes. Normally I wouldn't think this is very professional. She should have used an icing smoother or those spatula things or whatever they are called to smoothen the sprinkles onto the cake. Thought 4:40 is disgusting I don't need to explain that. 10:45, Fusion text seems to change direction, size, and a bit of font on every cupcake. What I think is fondant or buttercream for the lightning bolt also seems to have changed A LOT. I also don't think the fondant on top of the cupcake isnt very.. neat, It's obviously too big as we pointed out. On 11:27 I was actually VERY impressed. Thought the brown stains look like shit and the heart looks okay I have a reason to believe she hired someone to make the figurine which is totally okay! It does seem to be a fucking wedding cake so that fucking sucks. Flowers are obviously fake so try better next time, I hope you gave them a refund because it could have been so much better. 11:49, For gods sake, My family is Colombian so we love Encanto and love making cakes of it, But Oh my FUCKING GOD. Please give those parents a refund. I'm literally praying that the Mirabel cut out is edible paper. Roof tiles are literally CRACKING. Meaning that she made it a while ago before handing it to the consumer, But hey! Atleast the flowers are REAL. We got 12:02 over here, Bows are actual really really good! You can see some cracks in the buttercream though. Heart is made terribly, looks like a 2nd grader made it. The Minnie Mouse ears have obviously been mESSED WITH A LOT. Moving on to 12:47 we got pirate cake. The skull emoji is giving the skull emoji on the cake the nasties side eye because what the fuck is that shit. Literally PRAYING that those arent real coins. 4/10 could be better. She should never price more than $10 on those cakes because those are horrific. Now moving on to our dear creators cake! 10/10 best cake I have ever seen. Great representation but remove the excess sprinkles at the bottom.

Living for this analysis

[@charlottiehaha]

God this review is legendary! I come from a family of bakers (like with a family owned bakery), and I entirely agree with this! Someone else said it first, but at 2:42 I think the cake was tilted because she didn't let it cool at all. she just slapped the buttercream on.

As an avid baker, there’s really nothing wrong with box mix. I don’t usually use it because I’m baking for the experience and I tend to make more unusual flavors. However, you can never match the perfected chemistry of large manufacturers for box mix. I would never tell a novice baker (or someone in a hurry) that they have to make it from scratch. Its the difference between an experiment and a guarantee. You will get a good cake if you use box. Anyway when you get a cake from a bakery you’re not paying as much for the cake as the decoration.

The thing with the cake mix debacle is a Lot of professional cake artists use boxed mix! THey jsut don't do it as directed on the box; Usually they will use milk instead of water, or use more eggs, add other flavors, etc. This is because boxed cake is so consistent with it's texture that it's easy to experiment, and then get the same result over and over again. Consistency is really important in a business, and that shortcut makes sure of that! I know some people might think it's lazy or about saving money, but when they do all the adjustments the box + bonus stuff cake will cost jsut as much in materials as the from scratch cake- and it will likely be fluffier and taste better! Personally I don't mind that she does boxed! Her horrifying 80$ monstrosity though.. that is not alright.

Using cake mix is acceptable if it’s decorated well, especially if it’s doctored up. (Adding milk instead of water, extra eggs, pudding powder, and additional flavourings are a good way to upgrade a box mix cake. For a denser cake an additional cup of flour is also an option.)

Id love to know more, especially about the pudding mix and flavorings. Didn't see those listed from the quick google search i did. Im not a good cook and box mix is usually my go to for the kids birthdays.

[@bcpr9812]

Bake My Day Mimo uses cake mix, but her completed cakes show that she's talented.

[@sarahsweetblood]

@@Blackcivicsi1 I'm not sure about the pudding mix, I'm curious about that too, but the additional flavouring is things like Almond essence in the vanilla cake and expresso coffee in chocolate cake, you could probably add something like lemon or orange juice and zest to make a lemon or orange cake, orange could also be added into a chocolate cake to make a Jaffa cake

[@hemicardia935]

@Blackcivicsi1 there's endless possibilities out there and people keep discovering new tweaks. One of my favorite ways to modify box mix is substituting the water with milk flavored with earl grey tea and subbing the vegetable oil with melted butter. One thing that was a total game changer for all of the cakes I make was using baking strips, helps round cakes bake with no crispy edge and way less doming.

[@alel474]

I remember reading a reddit post about a woman asking if she was an a-hole for using box cake mix for all the times she was paid to make cakes. That may sound like she would be, but 1) it wasn't a business. These were all for family, friends, and the odd acquaintance that heard about her cakes and 2) she never charged for the ingredients. She actually said she could never really make cakes from scratch. Try as she might, she would get maybe one good cake out of 10 tries if she made everything from scratch. What she was good at was decorating. She apparently spent hours perfecting her decorating skills using fondant and frosting to make really pretty cakes and only charged for the time she spent decorating. It led to pretty cakes that were fairly inexpensive for the detail she put in, so her customers were all very happy and satisfied. She was wondering if she was a bad person for not disclosing that she used boxed cake mix. I think in this situation, its completely fine tbh. As long as no one's charging me for ingredients and they give me a beautiful cake that is decorated to my specifications. This situation is bad tho. This woman is scamming people and Idek how considering one look at her cakes and cake prices should be enough to deter anyone from frequenting her business.

[@Mr26muel]

Yep I remember that post too as soon as I saw the title of this video, using cake mix is fine if 1 the craftsmanship is good and 2 if you are seeking it at a reasonable price, this woman did neither of those things and on top of that denies she used cake mix.

[@MsLilly200]

Even if she charges a bit, as long as it's not 80 FREAKING DOLLARS, it's fine. Like, she still spends time and effort on the cakes. Getting like, up to a few dollars more than the money back for the ingredients is fine imo. If she's just doing it for friends and family. Though if she does charge more, or if she creates an actually business out of it, she should proooobably mention the cakes are from premade mixes. (Or at least not advertize them as made from scratch or whatever as the lady mentioned in the video apparently did.)

[@SorrySoup]

Most "cake" businesses are charging for the decoration and presentation. There is actually a chemical reason why box mix is ideal for decorating, as the consistency of box mix is more firm and spongey than most home made recipes. 90% of decorated cakes are box mix.

[@dangsood4945]

I follow someone on youtube who runs a cake business and freely admits she uses cake mix - and tells everyone. She says the cakes come out nicer than what she could make, and people prefer the flavour. She decorates the cakes beautifully, does heaps of really nice custom shapes and orders and makes lots of sales. I think if you're honest about it from the start then there's no issue - people can choose to shop elsewhere.

[@samg461a]

The cake mix thing isn’t a big deal. A lot of bakers use pre-mixed cake mix because all it is is flour, sugar, leveling and flavouring. However, most bakers who use cake mix don’t actually follow the directions. They add butter instead of oil, milk instead of water and add more eggs than it asked for. And they don’t charge so much for these cakes. But every other thing she did is inexcusable.

[@chocomelo454]

see I could never be those bakers because I'm terrified of changing a recipe. I swapped olive oil for vegetable oil once and hated the outcome so much that I've decided I will never do that. However I have changed the way I bake it. My dad puts a cup of water in the oven so that whatever he's baking is more moist, giving it a sponge cake texture and making it melt in your mouth.

[@celinedd6193]

+ when they make bomb designs on the cake why the f would i mind one bit about a certain price even if its made with cake mix!

[@CornbreadOracle]

Exactly right. I am a skilled home baker and I DO NOT use cake mixes, however, I’m not baking cakes to be elaborately decorated. The thing is, when you buy a cake for a wedding or other occasion, it’s really all about the decoration. Lots of these places use mixes, and yes they do beef them up so you don’t really notice. It’s a great shortcut that saves the bakery time and effort while achieving a reliable result. It’s really not a big deal. Everything else she did however seems to be a an affront to baked goods and customer service.

[@teagansavage3188]

I think they are more mad about her lying about how she uses fresh ingredients

[@dyscea]

And that high price point is for the cake decorating, not the bake mix. Someone for their girlfriend paid $200 for this 8 inch thing ... but DAMN it was cute.

How sad is it that she willingly charges $50-$80 for her cakes when you can buy a store bought cake for $30 and the quality is 5x better.

To be fair, box mix isn't "wrong" to use, and sometimes people will dress it up with other things (e.g. use box mix but add extra chocolate or flavorings). It's really common. But, if you're gonna do that, you better be good at decorating to make the price point worth it.

[@maycrafter1349]

Yeah, I agree. I know one cake decorator from here on KZbin that uses cake box mix, but they don’t just follow the directions on the box. They substitute those basic ingredients for better quality ones that make the cake taste homemade. Their videos also show how much care they put into the job and I know I’d feel like I’d be getting my money’s worth if I was to buy something from them.

[@NanaIsMyNickname]

Yeah box mix is not the biggest deal, but usually bakers who use cake mix have great fillings and buttercream/fondant decorations so the art of the cake makes up for it

I think you can have a successful business by providing good quality classics, not just unique products, at least in small towns. I live in a small town and my family goes to one bakery for all cakes, and almost all the town also frequents that bakery because they’re good and we trust the quality of their products. They don’t have interesting cakes but they make the best ones and most people are happy with it. I don’t know if this would work everywhere but in a small town it works. So yeah you need the technique but not the crazy gimmicks I think.

I had a horrible experience when I ordered a ‘professional’ cake for my toddler. I had always made him cakes before (and after 😂) but I wanted this to be special. So I order a two tier monster truck cake for too much money. The day of I go to pick it up I get to her home and when she invites me inside I was horrified immediately when I saw several Guinea pigs on a table directly next to where her cakes were sitting- also there was a fan in that corner behind her creatures that was BLOWING DIRECTLY AT THE CAKE! It was not two tiered and it was just frosted green with a hot wheels monster truck sitting right in the center. That was it. Her work online was so beautiful, and it looked like she was in a bakery or business space. I took the cake, said thank you, and went directly to the store to get some cupcakes and cheesecake 😅

[@bookshelfhoney]

Oh noooo! Not the guinea pigs!!! I feel like I have to turn off part of my brain in order to enjoy food made by other people because it's so scary to think about what people get up to. Unfortunately some people will steal other people's photos of their products and pass it off as their own.

Tip for frosting a cake!!!! Always wait for the cake to cool, it seems obvious, but some people don’t know! Also before you frost the cake, take a spoon or whisk, and stir the frosting very well. Stir it up, then stir it again. That will make the frosting a lot easier to spread and also you’ll use less than if you didn’t whip up the frosting. 💖💖💖😇

Hi here’s a cake recipe that I’ve memorised since I was a kid and has never failed me! Measurements in oz because idk my grandma used them, and it’s weighed not measured in cups bc I’m bri’ish Ingredients: 6oz self raising flour 6oz butter (or cooking margerine) 6oz regular ol white cane sugar 2 eggs (3 if it’s a big cake rather than cupcakes) Some vanilla extract, or whatever you want A splash of milk if needed Steps: 1. Cream together butter and sugar until combined 2. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract 3. Gradually sift in flour until it’s all mixed in 4. If the batter is sorta a whipped but not runny consistency, you’re good. If it’s too stiff, add in a splash of milk. If it’s too runny, idk what u did and you just gotta pray and add a little flour at this point 5. Bake at 180 Celsius for like 20-22 mins or until it’s golden brown on top and a skewer comes out of the center without crumbs on It’s not fancy but idk it works
