I don’t think anyone is mad for the store bought box mix, it’s that she CLAIMED she was making them from scratch.
also the fact that she’s selling the cakes with horrendous designs for $50-$80 when the cake themselves aren’t even made entirely by her
yeah! a lot of bakery’s who’s main focus is decoration use them and i love to use them in baking, but it’s INSANE to claim that it’s from scratch. idk if i’m just used to baking but i can tell somehow haha
@@shanepacheco6878yep, it's completely okay to use store bought, it's just don't lie about it?
Exactly! They were angry at the LIE not the fact it was a box mix, I can bet most people are FINE with box mix. As long as they are told the truth and priced FAIRLY
I completely agree. If you want to use box mix for you cake, whatever, box mix cake isn’t bad. But if you go and say, “oh yeah, this cake is made from scratch” while you’ve got a tub full of boxes of Betty Crocker™ Strawberry Cake mix, then you need to accept the criticism you’re getting. Especially if your cakes somehow manage to make the ones made on Nailed It! look like professional masterpieces and then you decide to sell them for up to $80.
this is the type of drama I adore. Like, there's no one committing any felonies, children aren't involved, it's just a crazy lady who makes shitty cakes
I agree like at least there’s no child exploitation
It's all fun in games until people are actually hurt. But yeah this is just petty fun :)
no one is physically harmed, but every cake made is 1 mind gone to insanity
YES.

Apparently, it’s very common for bakers to use cake mix since it’s quicker and usually people like the box mix more in a blond taste test. Even the Cake Boss himself says it’s okay and there’s no shame in it, it’s just you shouldn’t lie about making your cakes from scratch.
You may wanna check for typos there. But yeah, I totally agree, box mixes are ok, so long as you don't lie about it and actually do a good job at decorating it.
True, and it’s a lot cheaper than buying premade cake bases.
A lot of bakers not only use box mixes, but are experienced enough to know how to modify the recipe (think adding peanut butter, zucchini- trust, honey, coffee, lemon…) to improve the taste, texture, or nutrition/allergen content of the final product. Baking is an art AND a masters level science!
Yeah, but she claimed that she made them from scratch. Which is why it was a problem
No not true. I haven’t used box mix since I was 11 years old and I bake and decorate. Never from box and never tubs of frosting, I make my own. There may be no shame in using it but personally the flavor and texture is not the same
Cakegate just proves that if you think you're too underqualified to do something, there is always someone out there is even more unqualified than you are with double the confidence.
So true ❤
My friend fancies herself a seamstress. Cannot make a pair of child's trousers to save her life. Still took 40 euros for making them...got upset when suggested she should enroll to a school or class to learn more because she is self-taught.
😆😆 when you're right you're right
You just described most guys I’ve worked with
😅
Yup, there’s a term for that: Dunning Kruger
every cake that she tried to recreate feels like she should be on "Nailed it" 💀

The way she says "i replaced the original background and make it white" in the wednesday cake absolutely made me feel like she gaslight me 💀💀💀
I'm SO glad someone else brought it up, I legit had to rewind the video to double check that's what she said.
The worst thing about the Cakegate lady was not her cakes, but her HORRIBLE customer service! She not only didn't offer to make it right for her customer, but she took to social media to try to shame her customer for not liking her work. That level of hubris deserves all the trolling she's getting.
And add on top of that the audacity it takes to shame a client on social media when you're selling cakes made with BETTY CROCKER CAKE MIX for $80 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's also kind of her cakes...😂
@@beachwitch89 The absolute most it should cost is $17.31 (really it's $12.31 but I added five dollars for margin of error and/or cost of labor)
A lot of her customers have said that she’s been really rude as well
right like this woman was SO convinced her cake was impeccable that she decided to put her customer on blast for thinking it looked ugly??
the fact you're not even a baker yourself and it somehow looks better than her rainbow cake is insane to me

As a stylist, I'd say "hey ya'll, everyone starts somewhere," but damn. This person has been doing it for years, teaches classes on how to make these cakes and then refuses to learn from blatant mistakes. I think we are all a little delusional now and then. I also think someone in Kylie's hometown lied to her several times.
i’m so glad this is the video that brought me to your channel, my chest hurts from laughing so much 😂
I’ve been baking as a hobby for many years, since I was a little kid. Whenever a cake needs to be made in this family, I’m the one who makes it. But despite that, I don’t feel like I’m talented enough to sell my cakes. They’re good for home baking but not for a professional baker. But then I see her cakes and it makes me feel very confident in my skills lol.I would not feel comfortable selling that cake to someone. Not for $20, nevermind $70.that is not the quality of a professional baker.
Either that or she's just a narcissist
@@AD-dg3zz She could be both. 🤷

She is walking proof that no matter how bad you think you are at something, there is someone else out there doing it worse and more confidently
This helps with my crippling anxiety so much XD
LMAOOO
I am that someone
She got the passion but not the skill
And she’d have the skill if she stopped getting defensive and take the advice from actual good bakers!
I know!!! That’s what I was thinkin. I’m a new cake decorator (only been doing it 1.5 years) and I think I’m not very good sometimes but this made me feel better😂
“I really wouldn’t talk about how other people look if your eyebrows can’t agree about what time zone they’re in“ DAMN LMFAO
"our signature rainbow cake" she keeps acting like it's so special and iconic when it's no different than those rainbow cakes you would find at a grocery store she literally named the same icing they used for the grocery ones at Costco and number of layers exactly like a store bought cake 😭😭

My favorite part was when the original customer remade the cake she ordered and it turned out like 1000% better than the one she paid for. Like isn't the whole point of buying a cake instead of making it yourself supposed to be that a professional can do a better job than you can and that's why it's more expensive than just baking?

How DARE she charge people to take a class with her and teach them how to decorate cakes when hers look like THAT.
Using that much Fondant on a cupcake should be illegal. Someone arrest her.
Don't give those cupcakes to the young or elderly. Someone's going to be choking to death on that fondant!
I personally do like the taste of fondant, but that much fondant can really give you a stomachache
@@lilliepad_froh I've just made it SOOO many times, and even just making it kinda makes me feel nauseous sometimes bc its just sugar mixed with marshmallows (more sugar) so I mean, yea its good bc sugar is good but that much of it kinda kills any flavors you were hoping for when you made that cupcake. Plus, it's just lazy to put a huge circle of fondant atop a cupcake like that...
@@erincogan1 You cant Even See the cupcake. Heck, you can probably put her rainbow cake on top of it.
@@lilliepad_froh blaaaahaahaha, you really could!! They looked like little tables that were probably the perfect size for that small $70 pile of sprinkles with a side of cake, lol
Pricing an 8-inch cake for $75.99 is absolutely ridiculous and a rip off. I’ve been working at a small, family owned bakery for two years now and our most expensive cake that feeds 40 people is 80 dollars. Not to mention that our cakes are beautifully decorated and have been a sensation for over 80 years. I’m literally so horrified that someone could get away with selling that crap pile of a cake for ALMOST 80 DOLLARS….it has nothing to do with her being a small business and everything to do with her lack of skill level.
$80 for an 8 inch custom cake is pretty reasonable where I'm from. But the thing is they are gorgeous and delicious.
same here! I work at a very small bakery and from us a cake an 8 inch cake is between 30-40 dollars. Ours look much better than that as well and aren't made with standard box mix. 10 dollars per single inch of cake from a local bakery is absurd
I'm a kid and cooked my own cake, looked way better
$80 is reasonable for a custom cake if it's done by someone who knows what they're doing and puts emphasis on making it look perfect.
The fraudulent images are easily worth $80-$100 (hers not so much)
I just bought an 8 inch Bundt cake from a bake shop for a birthday for someone and it was $49.20 please tell me I didn’t get ripped off😭the place is really good though so the quality isn’t an issue but I wanna know if that’s considered too much
"The chemicals will enhance my homosexuality" I guess the chemicals in the water really do turn the frogs gay.
The ending with the cake & the 100k subscribers was so sweet. 😢 Happy to see someone who obviously works hard, fighting for cool things and being smart, is gaining success. Good for you.
And now shes got a million!
It's insane how unprofessional Kylie is. Publicly shaming a customer is wild
Fr, it’s not a -Karen- entitled person thing to be mad that a cake you paid over 70$ for ended up looking like something you could cop for 5$ or even bake _yourself_ for free. _ANYONE_ would be mad about that. Kylie best be glad that lady wasn’t an actual entitled person because this would be one of the rare occasions where a real entitled person would be _justifiably_ mad. And they would’ve probably gone way farther too… unlike that nice lady who let that gigantic let-down slide not wanting to damage Kylie’s business and got slandered on the internet for it.
slay to that lucifer pfp
i havent watched the full vid yet but i think using boxed cake mix is perfectly fine, its just not all good when you pay 70 dollars for it
Seriously. I had a photographer actually tell his other clients to come after me, gave them my phone number because I criticized his work. I had a blog at the time, and in the blog I said I wasn't a fan of his work, but I didn't actually say his name or the name of his business. Suddenly my phone blows up with women threatening me. That photographer is no longer a photographer.
it's insane how unhinged people can be. publicly shaming someone trying to make a living.
Cakegate is so fun to watch, Im not usually one for bullying but 80 bucks for a terribly ugly cake…. it’s needed this time, i feel.
I don't even give a shit about the price, handling food with your bare hands before a sale is wild imo
The price wouldn’t bother me if it reflected the product. Like if it was well done, that’s fine for a price. It’s 6 cakes in one
BUT did you see that cake??? It’s a mess. I’m also not one to pick on others unnecessarily. That cake for that price wasn’t ok
@Tea laBlu oh yeah, point was Moreso that if it's ugly it's not a super big deal but if I'm touching your icky gross goblin baker hands indirectly I'm way more mad
For 80 bucks that shit better give me head too though, wild ass price
And the fact she tried to blast the customer!!!!
@@crispy7499 apparently it’s not super uncommon when handling food BEFORE it’s cooked because it’s kills the germs (that’s just what i’ve heard) but DEFINITELY no bare hands on ingredients that don’t get cooked, like the sprinkles.

the rainbow cake looks like something old jojo siwa would have at her birthday but she decorated it
I love how her Instinctual response to a beeping microwave was to scream at it
The cross contamination she does is really what pisses me off, I took a year long pastry course. Health and Safety was pounded into us because you could seriously cause someone a major allergic reaction and end up in a lawsuit
Wait, can u explain that bit? What cross contamination?
@@fandomchatfabi75It means you mix the previous material or bacteria,virus erc with the other materials you use afterwards. For example you put nuts on a cake and started to make another cake without washing your hands or cleaning the enviroment which still contains nuts. Therefore the other cake contaminated with nuts that can cause allergic reaction despite it shouldnt have nuts in it
If there's one thing I hate it's cross contamination 😩 it's my biggest ICK.
As someone who LOVES smoothies but is very allergic to cantaloupe, its always scary when i order a fruit smoothie anywhere because I'm afraid of cross contamination. like I'm very allergic, even cut open cantaloupe on the same cutting board of other fruit will leave me bed ridden if i eat that fruit.
This is Cert I Hospitality stuff here in Australia. Every time you do something, you wash your hands.
It was also explained in Hospitality that gloves were only to be used if you needed to cover cuts or similar, as the use of gloves has a tendency to result in people being lazy with washing their hands.
As a small baker, I would NEVER publicly shame a customer, even if they are in the wrong. It’s just unprofessional and causes unwanted attention. I only want good vibes. I will now be publicly apologizing to any unhappy customer. This is why I don’t decorate cakes. I do Bundts and loafs. Decorating is something I’m still working on and I just don’t want to do it lol
That is because u have some semblance of your abilities and aren’t stingy as H e double hockey sticks:)

Well and plenty of baking creators talk about customers being rude, but like....they have quality products. It feels off when her products aren't even that high quality

For anyone how doesn't know the mysterious brown stuff on the side of the cake tin is slightly burnt cake mix which means that she didn't wash the cake tin before making the cake
That's gotta be a health violation
It probably is
@@jasonellsworth3256 It definitely is. Federal regulations require that bakeries/pastry shops/etc. should properly wash and sanitize their cake pans - as well as other baking utensils - after every use. Failure to do so can run the risk of exposing your customers to food-borne illnesses or allergens.
And even if it's baked-in grit that can't be washed off, it's just better to get a new pan and throw that one out. Pans like that are relatively inexpensive to replace.
🤢🤢🤢
i thought it was chocolate, wow
baker here! i just wanna add that it’s totally normal to not use gloves when baking cakes & decorating them. we wash our hands 24/7 and wearing gloves can make it harder to decorate
this girl here has been exposed for also using dirty bowls , so while i agree with you, this girl here im betting isn’t washing her hands as much as she should..
Seems like most bacteria would be killed at oven temperatures anyway.

as a Brit who’s seen bake-off multiple times that was perfect 👌🏻
Just to point out, many cake decorators use box mix that they then improve a bit with different liquid ingredients, as cakes really are edible chemistry, cake mix is gonna make a consistently good cake every time. You’re paying for their time and expertise in decorating, and many of them do have really amazing decorating skills. So the cake mix thing isn’t really that big a deal, it’s the charging so much for such subpar decorating and customer service
the cake mix thing isn't a big deal yes. but lying about using cake mix is a really big deal!
i also haven't seen anyone else mention this but professional bakers do scoop sprinkles onto cakes with their hands. ive also seen alot of bakers roll sprinkles onto the cake (the cake is frozen so that it doesn't fall apart). it's just that when she does it it looks like shit cause she doesn't know anything about decoration.
@@biggestastiest i've seen professional bakers scoop sprinkles too, but like the way that they do and she does it is very different. for one, they don't dump the sprinkles all on top of the cake and just spear it around the cake like that.
@@biggestastiest To put sprinkles on a cake you would actually press them into the frosting a bit by taking a cupped handful of them and pushing them into it to create an even coating, dumping them on like that then haphazardly pushing them round the cake would make it look... Well like her cake. Plus with the added writing on top there shouldn't have been sprinkles dumped on top in the first place so that smear of icing wouldn't have been necessary to write on the cake. That's why most cakes covered into sprinkles either aren't written on, or have a rim of sprinkles on top with a blank space in the center.
This is true cake mix can make great cakes with good quality liquid ingredients
I would totally pay eighty dollars for that original Wednesday cake design, it looked SPECTACULAR, like one of those creations almost too beautiful to be destroyed.
Me too! That Joe guy is crazy talented because that Wednesday cake is so beautiful that even if he charged more than $80 for it, I still wouldn't mind paying

15:30 I’m now scream laughing at work
100k straight to 1m, your insanity has brought us much joy. Thank you for your sacrifices
a lot of cake decorators use premade cake mix with some things added to make it different/better but she STANDS by being COMPLETELY HOME MADE
and at least a lot of them who use cake mix make up for it with their incredible decorating skills.. she failed in both ends
homemade=premade cake mix from scratch=ya know, from scratch. she’s technically being truthful
Speaking of the cake mix thing replace the water with milk and add another egg trust me
@@gummysnacksandknives9229 butter instead of oil too ❤
People who specialize in decoration absolutely can and often do use box mix, usually with a few tweaks to the additive ingredients to make it a bit more yummy. In that case, the customer is paying for the frosted art! Kylie’s, though… that’s not worth anywhere near that much. And she insists it’s homemade…..:
My question is: why was ANYONE paying her for that crap?
Really small town, only one cake shop, and everyone has full time jobs? Best guess.
The fake/stolen images on the website probably helped scam the poor people who ordered online
It’s West Virginia? I think I heard that.
Probably not many options.
@@nwj03aNow they have zero options. LOL!

Can we just appreciate the cleanness and organization that Froggy has in the kitchen? Way to go 🩷
I worked in a bakery as a DISHWASHER and it was TEN YEARS AGO and I can tell that these cakes are poorly done for the price (aka if your half-blind grandma does it for free, then sure). I PERSONALLY was allowed to do piping on the bakery cakes (not the custom ones obviously) and I did a better job. How on earth did this person get her own baking business???
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.
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.
+ 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!
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.
I think they are more mad about her lying about how she uses fresh ingredients
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. That was my first introduction to pricey cakes. I'm good w/ store bought. But if I want something of the same caliber, I know how much to save up for.
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.
That frosting also seemed a bit dry, but it could've been the lighting.
So THATS why it's called a crumb layer! The more you know

I need more content of u baking /cooking it’s truly amazing 😭💞
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.
ty i should try this!!!
I think they pointed it out because she claims they are made of fresh ingredients.
Thank you so much for this, I've wanted to start my own baking and decorating business once I got good at decorating and was really nervous about that 😭
I've done this before and it's sooo much better. A professional shouldn't be using boxed tho xD
It isn’t a bad thing to use boxed mix, but she claimed that it was made from scratch and for a cake made from boxed mix it should NOT be 75$ even if she was a good decorator 😭
I personally hate the majority of sprinkles(excluding really small, fine sprinkles) they’re just so hard and chalky so this cake is my nightmare
Same I liked the diamond looking ones but the small ones are gross just messes up the frosting when I eat it

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. Her decoration sucks haha
you will have a good cake _if_ you have the most bog-standard, focus-tested taste in cake. I personally enjoy my cakes to be like brownies and be so rich I _require_ milk to wash it down.
@@SissypheanCatboy Sir, please turn on your blinker before you change out of your lane.
@@crimsonlion100 no, you're all playing these roads on hard mode today.
the issue isn't that she uses box mix... it's that she claims she makes her cakes from scratch... Scratch does not mean you throw together a box mix and call it from scratch
There’s a lot of bakers that people love on here who have admitted themselves to using box cake mix. It’s wrong when she does it but fine when they do. The cake is ugly but nitpicking her using cake mix is just ridiculous when a lot of content creators do the same thing.
This woman’s cakes are the embodiment of the phrase “sometimes things that are expensive… are worse”
I love that she cornered the "rich people who think $$$ is fancy and/or have so much money they don't care" market

Girl I just wanna say im glad you were born! Came across your channel a week ago and I'm hooked! ❤❤❤
Someone definitely told her to create a cake business after she gave them some and she took it seriously, and everyone just enabled her and said Yes so she can’t fathom that she’s not good at it. At. All.
God: I'm going to give all the confidence to the most incompetent morons.
Humans: Yeah, great. Thanks.
It's not that she's not good, it's that she definitely is lacking the experience of cooking school/of the kitchen. I believe she would be perfectly fine as a home cook, but not as a pro/as a cooking business owner.

2:27 I got a cake around the same price from a woman who was only baking as a hobby. 3 layer cake with perfect texture and amazing icing that was decorated so well and beautifully. It took me days to get through the whole thing, it was worth the cost and I buy from her for most cake events.
But if she gave me this for what I paid- I would’ve sobbed
What was the cost of the good cake? I really want to get them pleaseee

This video was what introduced me to your channel and I’m currently on my 3rd or 4th rewatch. Insane that you’re at 1Mil now! You deserve it!
Just found this hysterically funny video - 10 months after posting and as I type, yr subs are 1.53 MILLION - up from the 100k you had back then - which is freaking awesome!
Fun fact: many professional bakeries use boxed cake mixes and just alter them. Each one that i know of has their own secret way of altering the boxed cake mix. So on that point i dont really judge her. $80 is laughable tho
I think she just straight up used the box mix without altering it and claiming it was made from scratch. I mean, for $80 I would hope for a good quality cake that’s made from scratch
Huh. I have many questions now
It's more so that this Kylie lady very firmly stated that she made her cake mix from scratch. It's not the bought mix people are mad about, it's that she lied about it to make herself seem like a better baker.
Mix makes good cake, with, yes, a few tricks (I'm still winning hearts and minds with the one I learned from my mother's secretary) but don't lie when asked.
I'm an awful baker and not even I need boxed cake mix.
Sometimes I recognize that it’s my delusional adhd-fueled optimism that makes me believe that I can do anything as long as I try…However, in this case I’m CERTAIN that I could decorate a better cake than hers. Hell, I’m confident I could remake every cake she’s posted and do it better.
Amen & agreed.
I wouldn't let anything resembling what she's made leave my doorstep without fixing it.
as a former baker yes, most people with a level of artistic ability and a little patience can do better than she has. and you can do it without using cake mix! a good recipe really makes a cake
I would watch a series of that
I definitely can make better cupcakes
Absolutely same, I'm a complete novice to baking but good lord at least I try, I don't know how one count make a cake this ugly and then have the nerve to overprice it
woah you went from 100K to 1.72 million in just a little less then a year! that's such a huge improvement!
Watching you bake that cake genuinely brought me so much joy and I don’t know why 🤣
I just made a birthday cake for my sister and I’m not really good at decorating cakes, this made me feel SO MUCH BETTER about the cake I made 💀💀💀
im sure it was great!
If one of my siblings made a cake for me, I would be so touched that I wouldn't even care that it didn't look perfect. I'm sure your sister felt the same :)
I _wish_ I could bake cakes for my family
At least yours wasn’t an ugly overpriced BS cake, it was made with love and that’s all that matters 🥰🥰
If I made my sister a cake she would ask who took a dump on the table 💀

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.
Ill start going to culinary school in hopes of becoming a pastry chef/baker. Thank you for giving me so much info on the topic.
I enjoyed reading the whole thing and I genuinely think it might help me when I start going to Culinary School.
@@fouhiroyu I'm glad you could learn something, and I'm excited that you're going to be going into the food industry! I really hope you enjoy yourself :)
@@bluefeye Thank you very much!
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.
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.
It’s like she was baking a box cake one day was like “hey. I should open my own bakery, this is easy”.
I’m watching this not even a year later and you have 1.7+million followers since celebrating 100k in this video.
Congratulations on your continued success! 🎉
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. The sprinkle cake looks like she purposely butchered it and I understand why that customer was pissed when they got it lmao.. they literally could have gone to Walmart or Target for a higher quality cake.
You know a lot of businesses use cake box mix it’s not bad if someone uses it
@@gachapango2234 I wasn't talking about the cake mix, more of the presentation because it seems like that's where the majority of her complaints lie. I personally don't mind store bought cake mix, as I'm sure most stores use it for their cakes. ( And I've had several birthdays with Walmart cakes hahah. They're always really good!)
Most people pay for the presentation of the cake. It's just insane how this girl presented the sprinkle cake to the customer without seeing it looked like complete garbage. Probably tasted fine, but it looked awful.
@@gachapango2234 one of her customers could use the same ingredients and make the cake look better (and for cheaper)
But that’s exactly what’s not the point. A small business can not charge so little. They need to charge more than a big company. But I do agree that if you charge 50-80 dollars it has to look good.
@@Maddie-nw2ii Yh I can totally agree with that the presentation was not it but bc it was indeed 6 layers 8” I said the most it should’ve been Is $45 but then again I’m from the uk so I mean £40-45
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.
Tldr: we should start a gofundme for the funeral service for the baker
I actually thought the tilting of the cake might've been from the buttercream melting because the cakes were still fresh out of the oven (although with how the Tiktok is edited It seemed that way), or a lack of support dowels you'd find in more professional cakes.
Living for this analysis
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.
That was short

@@lauralaforge558things like this tend to be passion projects- more than likely, they’re not making much, but they’re doing what makes them happy, which you gotta respect on some level
As someone who bakes for a living, this has been so fascinating to me. I constantly feel as if I overcharge for my cakes, no matter the time and energy I put into them, but I do charge upwards to 80 dollars depending on how big or elaborate it is. 80+ for a simple sprinkle cake with a glob of icing and sloppy "happy birthday" is outrageous.
Also, the mystery brown and the red on the pans are most likely baked on cake batter... from a completely different cake.
