Music for the Spider-Cake song written and performed by Jerden Cooke. And he sings the nice version at the end!
Do YOU remember Spider-Man? Do YOU remember cake? Well, this will probably make you wish you'd never heard of either of those things. A superhero themed cake with an incredible amount of icing, it shows everyone's favourite webslinger climbing up a wall! Or at least it did 20 years ago, it now shows his crumbling body stuck to a mound of rot. Lovely. Just be glad you can't smell this one...
Due to the potentially lethal nature of this cake I couldn't try any, so you get a nice song instead. Seems a fair trade-off.

I cannot stop scratching my head on how and why someone managed to keep a cake for 20 years
Yeah, like how does this leave the kitchen cupboard and somehow end up stored somewhere that it would go unnoticed for 20 years

@@VeyronBD exactly
People are bad about putting cakes in freezers. Probably a large deep freezer under an amalgamation of groceries
@@shaddaboop7998 The proper terminology is Marvel merchandise collector
The sheer bravery of putting a disintegrating mold spore cake directly onto the couch is really something to behold
At this point, the couch has probably evolved it's own biome that actively fights against harmful micro-organisms that are placed on it.
@@c.james1I feel like a child who just learned that Santa Claus isn’t real.
@@c.james1 The couch is owned by the Umbrella Corp.
This couch is how Ashens became immune to covid and all future mutations.
@@c.james1I’m so glad you said that. Every time I watch 1 of these vids, I’m always creeped out by the nasty sofa. I honestly believed it was his living room couch and now I feel a lot better 😁😭
It's kind of incredible that this wall-themed cake turned into an actual wall.

He’s a uk hoarder. Uk whyts from the slums and suburbs are some of the dirtiest whypipo on earth. Worse then American rednecks. Uk whypipo who aren’t rich and privileged are some of the most incest made families bloodlines. Hence why he kept that cake. He was saving it to eat it years later but some one smart informed him not eat because it would be lethal. He deff argued with the person why he should be able to eat it , since he paid for it. So that person suggest he make a RUclips video about it so he makes some money back.
Honestly theres barely any difference between a video from 2 hours ago and 10 years ago, Ashens has got to be the most consistent youtuber out there
Him and Captain Disillusion have been so consistent over their run on platform. It's admirable honestly c:
@@Badgers0710 Add VWestlife too. It even looks as if he is still using a MiniDV camcorder to make his videos. Wouldn't be surprised if he still does.
@@Badgers0710Grand Illusions too
The changes have come from audio quality and footage resolution but that's about all really.
It helps that Stuart doesn’t visibly age, since we only see his arms. Captain Disillusion, on the other hand, is noticeably … paunchier than his first appearances.
its weird to think this cake was only 3 years out of date when ashens uploaded his first video
Stop no
@@frankiefranklin9761 yea his first video was febuary 2006

This cake saw 4 US Presidents, 7 UK Prime Ministers, 9 Spider Man movies, and is older than RUclips.
RUclips be getting old. Kids today have never known a world without it
In 2002 I was 15 years old and that spiderman film was just about the coolest thing I had ever seen. That cake has aged about as well as my ability to feel wonder or hope.

Hey more cake for me
An entire 20 year old cake is a genuinely impressive and monumental find in the niche genre of out of date food collection
It is something else…
While I want to laugh at the obvious joke, part of me is terrified that something like "out of date food collectors" might be a real thing...
@@Dargonhuman it is actually! 😅 I went down a rabbit hole of watching videos of it. Some people will even taste test doubles in their collection, or just open them on video if they’re damaged etc. It’s weirdly fascinating but sorta gross at the same time 😅
@@kees_hoewasnt there the guy who ate 40 year old gum
@@kees_hoe I was much happier not knowing that today lol.
I wasn't expecting a musical number, but I also wasn't expecting a 20 year old spider-cake either.
It's the title of the video... Pretty much expected a 20 year old cake.
@@Tactical_Hotdog Stunning observation
@@user-lt2rw5nr9s unlike yours?
@@Tactical_Hotdogi think you might be onto something there mate
ashens is the only channel where you can click on a video knowing full well 100% what you're getting and still be surprised
The scariest thing is that this cake hasn’t completely rotted away into nothing
Shitloads of sugar probably helps preserving a bit of that
No its the poison ingredients. If food barely rots for 20 years then it is not food.@@ghivifahmi4252
My recently deceased best friend and I had a joint stag-do 20 years ago this year, where we had this as the stag cake. We laughed so hard at the squat Spider-Man and still have photos of just spidey looking like he was squashed awkwardly.
Love seeing it on here as we have followed Ashens for a long time and is one of the only RUclips channels we both love. He would have loved seeing this too.
My condolences. ❤ Glad you're able to find some joy in the memory.
That’s why we exist on this earth. The memories we leave behind are exactly this. RIP your friend. I am in the funeral industry. I always say ‘we are never gone whilst we are remembered’ 😊
It's horrible to lose a best friend. My condolences
Of course in every RUclips video's comments there is somebody talking about tragedy. My god. Nobody wants to hear it. Go take it to your pastor.
@@fshoapsit’s called trauma dumping, and they do it because they know it’ll force bait sympathy from people and help get likes
Ashens is the only person that can have a 20 year old cake hanging around and nobody calls the loonybin.
how long dyou think he had it for haha. He clearly would have bought it recently
@Temperjames I wouldn't doubt that he's had it sealed in something for the past 5 years just waiting to give it a sniff.
I've been calling for a while, it's just nobody's bothered to answer.
Oh we've called don't worry, we've called
Issue is Ashens is running said loonybin.
Let it sink in that this cake has been existing, languishing, wherever for twenty years as you lived your life.
The cake is 2 years older than me
I love that the brick wall looking fondant icing became an actual stone lmao
The circle of life.
Fake it til you make it
LOL ACTUAL BRICK
This channel is a safe place. Same camera angle, same sofa, same Ashens. Thank you Uncle Ashens. You provide stability in times of uncertainty. Forever grateful x
from an aesthetic standpoint, yes. from any other standpoint, this has gotta be one of the most dangerous places in history.
Now if only we could get him tied to a consistent upload schedule!
bro he's a mister handyman robot from the fallout universe, ever wondered why Codsworth was able to put up with living in the same eradiated neighbourhood for 210 years? Well now you do.
Isn’t it wonderful? I was just thinking the same thing! I’ve been subscribed for at least a decade and he hasn’t changed a thing! I love it so much
Well that's good to hear! I'm actually new here, this is my first vid from this channel, I sought it out because I was told it was basically British Dankpods, look like I'll be enjoying my time here.
*2 things I learned from this video*
- You gotta get that knife exorcised.
- You gotta get that couch exorcised.
As rancid as that cake is, my tender heart is kinda pleased that that poor old birthday cake eventually got to be serenaded like all the other birthday cakes. It may not have been the birthday song, but it finally got a song. Lol
🥲
to think that most of those probably ended in a landfill, unloved, not part of any child's precious birthday memories
@@sunsetman22that's really sad. 😢
@@NetBattler Bruh it's a cake. Get a damn grip on yourself.
@@spookrockcity yeah, a cake that gets zero attention and have sad life.
20 year old cake that's been basically sitting out in the open with no protective packaging. Yum.
You must be new here
@@johnny141093 Nope. Been watching since Poundland Special 2 or 3, actually.
Most things Ashen eats are tightly packaged. For example the whole chicken in a can "Sorry for the vegetarians watching, what's that all of you?"
I think OP is right in calling this am outlier.
Yep. This one's got a proper "I joke about botulism, but I'm actually wearing a gas mask, a biohazard suit, and I've ordered the work experience boy to do the actual opening" vibe. 🤣
Most likely been in someone’s freezer. It wouldn’t exist otherwise.
I find it odd that it’s packaged like a toy that’s meant to sit on a shelf, not a box like a bakery would use.
lmfao exactly this, i was so confused trying to figure out if it was cake or a toy or both
Right. Very weird
I imagine you’re maybe not English? Most cheap pre-made cakes are sold like this/ look like this from supermarkets and do in fact sit on shelves lol. Is this not a thing elsewhere?
@@smell3285it’s a thing in Europe and America, but I guess the packaging isn’t usually quite as... all-encompassing? I dunno how else to describe it, just, usually the cake ‘window’ takes up more than only 10% of the box lol.
@@smell3285 in the U.S most cake boxes i have seen are bland white boxes with a small hole in the top covered by plastic that lets you see a piece of the cake.
Part of me wonders how a 20 year old cake still exists, but then I remembered the channel I was watching and thought “if anyone could find it, it would be him”
SteveMRE?
bet that 20 year old cake has better tattoos than zoomers
I remember some of his other expired foods came from people who were cleaning out an elderly relative's home and found forgotten food in the far back corners of the kitchen. Then instead of throwing it out, they sent it to Ashens. I could see some forgetful granny leaving a birthday cake at the bottom of a storage freezer for years as new things piled on top.
@@girlsdrinkfeckI’ve been looking at this comment for 10 mins and still can’t decipher what you’re trying to even say.
@@dekunt6549 I think it's the ramblings of a senile old person.
That is such an early 2000s box. Haven't seen designs like that in years.
Early Photoshop highlights and gradients hit different
I cannot believe that an actual human being would open and investigate a 20 year old cake let alone record it and share his experience with the world. We appreciate you Athens.
Let's hope he wears a hazmat suit while shooting.
Investigating it just makes perfect sense out of sheer curiosity. The real surprise is that he put it on his cloth couch to cut into it without even putting a trash bag or paper down first.
Dude is gross 🤮
With no gloves at that
"With great moldy cake, comes great responsibility not to eat it" - uncle Ashens
More like properly dispose of it like toxic waste.
This implies that Ashens will die of food poisoning to remind a rot-themed superhero of his duty of care
@@hotelmario510 Mold-Man
I still can’t believe that thing was BROWN and now it’s FADED GREEN 💀
i love (hate) the fact that this isn’t the first time there’s been decades old cake on this channel.
Last time was a box mix, though. This is ACTUAL PRE-MADE CAKE. I'm surprised Spidey isn't rotting along with the rest of his edible wall.
@@PedroBenolielBonito Don't forget the 37 year old cake slice for his 10th anniversary!
The fact that Ashens has featured quite a few rotten cakes on his channel is quite disturbing. And out of all of them, I think the only ones he did try were the tinned ones and the Microrave one if I recall correctly
I DEFINITELY remember getting this cake for my 4th Birthday. I was so obsessed with Spidey as a child. Beautifully warm,
fun memories.
Crazy you have this after all these years. Bit of a shocker though but still really cool nonetheless for nostalgic purposes of things from much better times.. I’m just curious as to where in the hell it’s been all these years 🤣
I remember seeing this cake when I was 4 too.
Though my lifes far better now so not exactly warm memories, still weirdly nostalgic though
And how was it?
I think i did too!
Seeing that cake was £4 and now cakes are £10-£15 really shows how much prices have gone up
£4 was the reduced price though - it was originally £8.
@@gymnasiast90 still a lot cheaper than today
@@steveo1840That’s true if you don’t consider inflation. 8 pound sterling in 2003 is not the same as it is now 20 years later in 2023. Accounting for inflation, 8 pounds then is about 13-15 (sources vary) pounds now. So relatively speaking, you’re still paying the same price you would in 2003, just that the amount of pounds used has increased.
@@springtowundermongooflewages haven’t kept up though
@@juanthehorse420I'd imagine so, but I wasn’t referring to wages in my original response. All I said that, relatively speaking, you were still paying the same price you would 2003 now in 2023, adjusting for inflation. Whether the fact that wages have been able to catch up to the inflation is an entirely different issue, one that I do not know too much about. Though thinking about it, it would technically cost you more in relative to amount of money you have spend these days.
the most amazing thing is that someone actually kept that cake in its box for all these years.
And mice and bugs didn't eat it in all that time.
Yeah what the actual fuck 😂
It's a collectible!
“You’ve got the kind of Air of Rot”
that would be a great name for a Metal band.
"Spider-Cake, Spider-Cake, They are serving it at Ashens' wake, He's dead because he went and ate, That bloody Spider-Cake"
"Look out, dont eat that spider cake"
“Spider-Cake, Spider-Cake, the icing has started to flake, don’t eat that for goodness sake, it’s a bloody Spider-Cake”
Hilarious!!! 😆
“Spider-Cake, Spider-Cake, eat it and meet your fate, look outttt, it’s a deadly Spider-Cake”.
Spider-Cake, Spider-Cake
I’ve got a copy of Prison Break
And Final Fantasy VII Remake
Anyway, here’s the Spider-Cake
Ashens has it occurred to you that you’ve had the channel for so long that if you keep random food items safe then you’ll have a constant feed of content😂
Literally an infinite money glitch
You’re acting like he didn’t buy this in 2003 in preparation…
@@AcornElectron That is only a few years older than the channel. Maybe the 20 year anniversary of the channel should have food stuffs from that year.
The old Pepsi he tried recently was bottled after the first old foodstuffs video, but I think Mr. Ashens would prefer to hoard inflatable crowns instead
Constant FEED of content?
I was 9 when Spiderman was released and it was my absolute favourite film. I had this cake for my birthday and I remember it very well. Seeing it again 20 years later is absolutely wild.
Wild and terrifying
Go on, take a bite...
i'm genuinely curious on what this cake tasted like before it became fossilized
In the time I finished elementary, middle, high school, and college, this has been rotting in some warehourse for twenty years. That's crazy to me.
I was thinking that. Throughout my whole life and every memory I’ve ever had this cake has just been sitting somewhere for some reason
This expired a few months after my brother's birthday. Not day we celebrate his birthday, but the first day he existed outside our mother.
I literally have relatives and friends younger than this cake.
I was born in 2007, 4 years after it was too late to eat a Spider-Man cake. ☹️
I was born, finished school and am now in my 3rd year of uni all the while this was rotting.
1. I'd absolutely love to see a spoiled food museum
2. Absolutely loved your enthusiasm and the spider cake song
Ashens' signature "oh dear" never fails to make me smile and giggle
It’s days like these I’m grateful smell-o-vision hasn’t been developed yet
With crime scene cleaner channels and channels alike, I am One Million percent happy smell-o-matic doesnt exist 😂
I legit reflexively pulled my shirt up over my nose to block the smell. 🤢🤮
in the fallout universe, i am sure a perfectly preserved spider-man cake would be the stuff of legends.
There is an equivalent of this cake in Fallout 4, in several port-o-diners you can find a perfectly preserved pie you can try to get
@@tardisman4210 that was what i was referencing lol
This unlocked a memory of when I was a kid, I used to love looking at the birthday cakes in supermarkets, for some reason I just found it really fun choosing which one looked the best. Although I wasn’t into Spider-Man, I remember seeing this cake and thought it looked really cool…didn’t think I’d be seeing it again after all these years 😂
Same lol I would beg to look at birthday cakes when I go in shop now I still have a look I’m hoping someone will by a minecraft cake for ashens to review in 20 years time lol
The only weird thing is, someone saved this cake for over 20 years and sold it.
I don’t want to know what else that person is saving.
Saving a slice of cake from a royal wedding = crazy.
Saving a supermarket Spider-Man cake from a movie promotion = utterly psychotic and you belong on every government watchlist there is. 🤪
I mean it probably got forgotten in the deep dark recesses of someone's pantry or something, they didn't *consciously* keep it surely?
What if they intentionally kept it because they exactly knew there would be some influencer 20 years down the line who would need it for a video
@@keiyakins Maybe, but still - would the first thought after re-discovering it not be "jeez, let's throw that in the bin asap" and not "nice, I can probably sell that to some youtuber"?
"Imma sniff it properly...
that was an error."
My question is - who has been holding on to this cake for 20 years just so it can be in an Ashens video? I'm glad they did, because otherwise we would not have been granted the beauty that is the spider-cake song!
A time traveller.
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Yes, this is certified a canon event to be protected by time-travellers.
Perhaps some collector with no idea as to how food goes bad
You know the "vintage" food is truly horrendous when Ashens won't eat it. 😄
I think the Century Egg incident scarred him. He was a lot more careful afterwards, gingerly picking at that instant cake he and Dan made and outright refusing to eat the nearly 200-year-old olives found in a shipwreck, where before he would happily eat decades-old spaghetti hoops from a rusty tin.
they guy drank bird shit pepsi.
YOU DID NOT JUST CALL THIS BIOLOGICAL WEAPON 'vintage'
I think it's more common sense here. I understand preservatives can be amazing but I can bet you a 20 year old cake is a death sentence. God knows what's in it. Everything else? A gamble, sure, but this? Guaranteed horrific food illness.
I'm still not recovered from chicken in a can
For a 20 year old cake, it looked to be in alarmingly good condition.
Well it's because most of it is icing xD
I worked at Tesco at the time, I actually remember this cake.
I remember quite vividly that this was a mates birthday cake back when i was in primary school, he was a spiderman nut.
Pics or it didn't happen 😜
@@TheKulteska
Spider-nut, spider-nut, radioactive spider-nut
Can confirm, I was the cake
I know you mean the produt in general, but I like the idea that you're all talking about this one specific cake.
I am both terrified and impressed that Ashens would decide to open this up on his legendary sofa to contaminate it and the entire room.
you mustve missed the egg episode
@@kylemenos He replaced the sofa at least twice one had a whole in it.
there is a beast inside the couch that consumes anything left behind
@@Slop_Dogg He has changed sofas before.
@@legobrickabrac Well the beast gets replaced too, then.
It looks like something you might find in Fallout in one of those food machines
I think the worst part is how, despite being left in open air for 20 years, it hasn't completely decomposed. Getting serious "Super-Size Me" flashbacks.
I so desperately need to know how this came to be. How did a box cake survive (in as generous a way as can be described) into the present day????
Right? Did someone just have this in their kitchen pantry for 20 years? The back of the fridge? So many questions.
I understand a metal can of food surviving that long but the cake boxes are so flimsy and it doesn't look like it was even squished or anything for 2 decades. Somebody here must have sent it to him and I'm curious for answers
Probably thought it would be worth something one day. How much did they sell it for?
@@Vile_Entity_3545 £4 reduced from £8.99 I think
EDIT: It was £7.99 ;-))
I could imagine a kid being upset on his birthday that his parents were going to cut into Spider-Man, so they never ate the cake and put it back in the cupboard. The kid checked on it for a couple of days then everyone just sort of forgot about it. Until they found it one day and had the idea to send it to a strange man from Norwich.
I gotta be honest. Having a cake come in a box like it's a toy is so cool. I wish there were more products like this.
I am mostly just impressed that it still exists and basically looks the same... I mean at a distance at least. I would have expected it to be a pile of moldy dust, its held its shape quite well.
must be the packaging (?) definitely not airtight, but I'm guessing it managed to keep the decay at bay
@@sunsetman22it's the shit they put in it. Preservatives.
I always love how there's a direct correlation between how long Stuart lingers on the packaging review and the rancidness of the contents.
Wow, I remember having this cake for my birthday when I turned 4 years old.
I’m 24 now, thank you for the memories!!
Oh my days I've eaten a slice of that cake at a cousins birthday party. This is like seeing an old friend 😂
I presume not the exact same one?
@@wisteela guess they couldn't finish it
Let's hope your other friends have aged better in the last 20 years... 😆
@wisteela i cannot be certain as i wasn't in charge of the goodie bags ;)
With friends like that who needs enemies
Ashens getting a head start on Halloween I see. That cake's the scariest thing I've seen all year! The Spider-Cake song is brilliant, though!
It’s weird how comforting going back to these rotting food on a couch videos are but these help me sleep somehow. Thanks Ashens ❤
I’m no expert on the lifetime of children’s birthday cakes, but it’s possible that this cake is older than me. A white sugar icing effigy of Tobey McGuire’s Spider-Man almost outlived me several times throughout the years, and that’s quite honestly terrifying
I hate zoomers
@@wind2536 Okay grandpa, back to the bingo hall.
To be fair, I think that cake died a long time ago.
@@wind2536why are you like this?
@@wind2536back to bed gramps
That Spider-Man is so knackered I''m expecting it to go "Mr. Ashens I don't feel so good" at any moment.
It’s been over ten years since I watched an Ashens video, which is surprising considering how much I absolutely loved them when I was younger. Anyways, I just clicked on one for the first time in over a decade, and somehow it’s the exact same as I remember. Time to binge the entire channel.
So did someone just have this in their house for 20 years and one day wrote to Ashens to ask if he wanted it? I'm guessing it wasn't posted, which means that they probably had to hand deliver it, maybe in some sort of public place. Ashens we need to know the 20yo spidercake backstory.
Surely someone bought it on sale, put it in a chest freezer and literally just forgot about it. Now for whatever reason they found it and the 'Asheny sense' meant the cake came here
@@jebus89 the joy of chest freezers, i dread what is in my grandparents one, as i swear they only touch the top two layers, and have had it as long as i can remember
It was probably posted actually
For the origin story, go back and read issue No. 1 of The Amazing Spider-Cake.
I think he said on stream someone gave it to him at an event, might have been the recent Tatalogue evening with Ash Frith.
It's the little things like the Spider Cake song that make Ashens truly special.
Little?
This is still the only kind of thing you would find in the u. K. A custom made box for a food item such as a Spiderman cake. I love it bro.
I was not expecting this to be official merchandise when I clicked. I thought Ashen would come out like “I baked this cake 20 years ago, and just never got around to eating it.”
Lol, you think Ashens would cook? He keeps Jamma boards in his oven. I don't think he even knows how to turn it on
Do an image search for Tesco Spiderman cake 2002.
I can not convey to you the amount of relief I felt when ashens refused to ingest any of the cake. I do not need to see a man die.
Ingest, no. But I'm sad he didn't taste a bit of it.
Spoilers! 😂 I was waiting for him to eat it
steve1989mreinfo would do it.
You wouldn't die from eating this but you'd be stuck on the toilet for most of the next day.
I'm glad I saw this comment, it helps me enjoy the video without the thought of "oh my goodness he's going to EAT IT" at the back of my mind.
The spider cake song absolutely brought me to tears. The drama, the sheer passion, it was beyond overwhelming to the sense. Bravo, young man, bravo
And the hand dance!
At this point i think Ashens might have the most powerful immune system of any human on the planet. Just being in the same *building* as that cake must constitute a biological hazard.
LOL, his is nothing compared to Steve from Steve1989MREInfo. He eats some really old stuff from WW2 and before
@@cyberleaderandy1 - Oh, hell yes! Seeing Steve eating, and enjoying some rations from 1906, tells me that his digestive system is well nigh indestructible. 👍👍👍
I'm surprised that cake is not absolutely covered in grain mites, lucky Ashans home is dry because with a little bit of damp that cake has the potential to breed millions of grain mites.
@@brianartillery He did get food poisoning from a chinese ration once... which scares me because he had 100 year old jam, and came out of it completely fine.
I think Steve ate hard tact from the American Civil War.@@brianartillery
I've never been more happy to see Stuart NOT eat something. Logically I knew he had to have survived in order to upload the video, but I was terrified for his health.
The first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was: "Please, God tell me he doesn't actually try to eat that."
I was less relieved when I didn't fall in after slipping on rocks at the Grand Canyon.
Ashens would *absolutely* make the executor of his will finish and upload the final video.
He didn't eat the 200 year old olives either. Understandable.
The video release could be on a timer so the You Tuber could be anywhere at the time. I saw one recently who said he was going on holiday but had queued up videos while he was away. Good idea so there's no backlog when you return.
I remember having this cake for my fifth birthday, crazy to see it like this years later
Loved the interpretive hand dancing during the Spider-Cake song
As soon as he opened the box, I swear I could faintly smell it through the screen
These episodes always make me feel that we'll get an Ashens x ChubbyEmu crossover one day.

Oh my gosh, I remember the Spider-Cake song! I listened to it all the time as a kid! Which, come to think of it, is kindof weird, given neither Prison Break or Final Fantasy VII Remake existed then. 🤔 Truly a song that transcends time.
Watching Ashens again after 6 or so years feels like a nice breath of fresh air. Missed you loads. Have a lovely day.
That song will live in my head rent free for the rest of my life 🤣
So thanks for that. Xx
H-how?? How does this exist? How the hell did you acquire a 20 year old cake??
Found in an attic maybe?
Where there's a will, there's a cake.
It was on sale at the Android's Dungeon.
This is Ashens, we're talking about. He's probably extremely well known in this particular niche activity, and gets frequent anonymous calls from burner phones at 2 in the morning from people using voice changers who've "acquired something a bit unique that might be to your liking."
Remember, this cake and all his videos are only the things he WANTS us to see. I'm guessing he has a lock-up somewhere away from populated areas that contain his real "treasures" 😱
@@peterclarke7240 I imagine it's the Merchant from RE4, he hangs out in dark corners of his city and goes "Whatcha Buying?" while opening up his coat to reveal niche things like a 1980's MRE and a 2002 Promotional Spider-Man Cake
I used to watch u all the time and I love how your videos never changed style. I love when you tubers do that.
well now I'm curious about the story of this cake. Where the hell did they find it? Was someone cleaning out a grocery store freezer and found this glued to the back?
It's collectible. :)
@@firesurferMore like a collectible of mold XD
@@firesurferis it f 🤣
Yup - I need this cake's origin story much more than Spiderman's.
I was also wondering that! I'm really curious about why someone kept a cake for 20 years
7:21 I love how much Ashens is clearly putting off having to taste the bloody Spider Cake! 😂
It looks bloody bad to be fair XD
Ashens cutting the 20 year old cake on a sofa makes it more painful to watch 😩
Lol
It’s amazing it’s survived very well for being over 20 years old
i could say the same for myself
"very well"
It has aged like fine wine.
Watching this on my birthday, what a lovely coincidence that I get to watch my favorite chap disect a 20 year old mummified husk of a cake. Thank you Ashens!
"Oh Toby, what hast thou rot?"
"You mean, wrought?"
"No."
Reminds me of last year when I unboxed my parent's wedding gazebo cake topper that had been sealed in storage for 21 years. The wedding staff had boxed the gazebo back up in the foam case without cleaning the vanilla cake off. So it had cake frosting still slathered all over the gazebo that had since turned this diarrhea brown. But surprisingly.....it didn't smell rotten at all. It still smelled like vanilla cake. (Then again, my mom said their cake wasn't the best tasting and was very artificial and full of preservatives so that's probably why....)
Why it also surprised me was because it had been stored in a non temperature controlled garage throughout the ENTIRE time it was sealed away, so the fact that it still smelled good after being subjected to stifling hot and freezing temperatures since before I was even born is beyond me.
Vanilla flavor is actually a relatively simple chemical that doesn't decompose nearly as easily as all the other organic stuff, and microbes don't tend to digest it either. I'm not surprised it stayed there untouched for all that time
also sugar will caramelize. @@pocarski
I was born just under a month before this cake. Depending on how long it was on shelves we could have been born at the very same moment. Truly I would be honored to discover this.
I remember seeing these in the shops as a kid. Cant say it looks so appetising now
This reminds me of the cakes a local supermarket used to make when I was little that featured a little wind-up Thomas the Tank Engine toy as a decoration. They also made similar cakes based on other licensed properties.
There are a lot of foodstuffs I can hardly believe can last so long, but a whole cake takes the cake. 🍰
I think "last so long" is a pretty strong phrase for the state this is in.
I feel that making a 12 minute presentation on a bit of old cake takes a fair bit of talent
I'm actually amazed that there are things that Ashens will refuse to eat.
Oh my god I think I had this for my 4th birthday. I remember the ribbon with the spiderman art most of all
"'woke up with acute vision--' A cute vision of what?" made me belly laugh
I remember having this cake when it was fresh... was alright really.
Feb 8th 2003 was my 13th birthday! I didn’t get this cake but I did get a stereo, Big Brovaz’ hit single “Nu Flow” and a bed spread with Purple Ronnie on it. Good times!
I turned 18 a few days after that, so I had to look the song up.
"Ohhh yeah, I remember that. I haven't missed it". XD
This is just like opening a mummy’s sarcophagus.
Nothing can describe the joy that I felt when that box came into frame. This is the sort of content that RUclips was made for.
I'm quite impressed that they moulded all the little ridges on the Spidersuit. Perhaps someone has kept it all this time as a delightful sculpture of Tobey Maguire in his prime.
Jesus i haven't seen this channel since i was a kid, what a throwback
I think if you actual eat a bit of that cake, you'd actually develop superpowers like Spider-Man. It's probably radioactive enough to cause superpowers.
Considering it's the food equivalent of sandstone, nah.
Around the time this was out, we still as a family used to go to the local Tesco each Friday night so I'd see the box for this cake every once in a while at that time. The fact that I remember that so vividly and enough time has gone by that I can see it again covered on a RUclips video and its absolutely rotted from the inside feels like a metaphor for a lot of 2000's things, I'm sure. Not necessarily the actual movie this is a tie-in to, that's still quite fun, but I mean lots of other things...heck, wonder if you'd see a rotting cake if you sliced into modern ITV 'cause that too's 20 years out-of-date, eh? ;D Anyway, that sure was a video, thanks Ashens~
That’s a terrible metaphor.
"I'm gonna sniff it properly- THAT WAS AN ERROR!" 😂😂😂
Talking about unique content: Ashens and the sofa deliver reliably 🤘🏽
I don't know what I expect to see from Ashens anymore but this will do.
This was fun to watch, thank you for sharing a video of what used to be a spiderman cake , that can probably be used as a sanding block now.
