Reviewing two local bakeries who attempted A realistic 3D McDonalds cake challenge! I unboxed the two cakes and was shocked by the results! They both used different tecniques to attempt the cake including fondant, buttercream and edible images. How can two cakes look SOOOO different?

Maybe an ice cream cake that looks like ice cream!!!🍦
HIIII
Realistic cake of objects or maybe humans
Minecraft end dragon, would be a challenge I think.
You should get a cake from Carlo's Bakery the baker is a professional and is famous (And I have no words for those cakes)
Recreate the cake and show us what they SHOULD HAVE DONE to make it more secure and pretty.
YAS!!!! good idea!
Yeah! I always feel a bit disappointed we dont get the part 2 'my version' video
I would love to see that !
Yes, whenever she does these, I’m like I want a My version video to accompany it. Like when she first started doing these and had a bakery recreate her crayon cake. I want to see her take on these same cakes.
That’s a really good idea, yes please do that!!
As a decorator, if I tell you to keep something refrigerated, I'm likely doing so because I either know my cake needs the cold to keep it stable or because I've used fresh fruit in the filling. Shaped cakes when they are smaller in diameter can easily be overfilled and that may have also been the issue with the oozing. With strawberry shortcake filling, I would have kept it in the fridge regardless of fondant or buttercream because cut fruit adds so much more liquid especially combined with whatever sort of glaze they were mixed with. Cut fruit also spoils faster when left warm and out of refrigeration. And I also would have warned my own clients to pull it out right before they needed it so that they wouldn't get the bleeding and puckering from the moisture.
A bot copied your comment to try to pretend and be human didnxoskspa
They were warned to refrigerate it
Yes, totally agree 👍
Who doesn't refrigerate CUT strawberries? If the bakery said to put it in the fridge, it should have been refrigerated!
Exactly!
With a fruit filling, it should be refrigerated. If not refrigerated, the fruit will release liquid. You can put fondant in the fridge but take it out of the fridge and let it sit out to become room temperature without touching the fondant to let the condensation dry.
EXACTLY!
Yes. I've had years of experience with fondant, making my own and bought, and they have always been refrigerated, taken out the next day and have never even noticed condensation or has it been and issue
Thank you for being kind but helpful with this comment:) 🤗💓
YES
Also keeping it inside the box helps. Box absorbs the moisture.
I think the fresh strawberries was totally the reason they said to refrigerate the cake. Once they are sliced they won't last at room temperature overnight.
Yeah they should have listened to the baker's instructions
What about the other cake? Weren’t they the same flavor
@@KatieLizzy-uy4xsno, the other cake was plain vanilla
I'm sure someone has already said it, but I think the home baker did the paper wrap on the soda to make it look like a cup from McD's, especially with that seam. Super realistic!
I’m like 3 years late but that was my immediate thought. This honestly baker needs an apology round im sorry 😭
I also wonder if that burger was meant to look like that, like a huge-sloppy burger… I am also many years late watching this!
Soggy, crooked, falling apart... The at-home baker just made their hamburger cake look more realistic to what you would actually get at McDonald’s 🤣
They were actually just channeling their inner McDonald's 🤣
I mean it just looked like dripping condiments really so yeah you're not wrong : )
Agreed!
I thought most of it was a little too dark, but that's a pretty simple adjustment and besides that and the structural issues, it was really good!
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it! 🤣
I feel like the yucky strawberries in the at home baker one is their own fault for not putting it in the fridge... of course strawberries are gonna go bad if they’ve just been sitting around all night! Strawberry shortcake always goes in the fridge. That’s probably why they told you to put it in the fridge.
Definitely
Exactly! Even a few hours but fondant in the fridge? They should have cooked and added the strawberries as a filling instead of real pcs or freeze dried ones etc many options!
Fruit can sit out for more than a day without going bad. Those were NOT fresh strawberries.
@@katelogan5091 Cut fruit can NOT sit out for even an hour without starting to go bad. They were instructed to refrigerate it for a reason. As a fellow baker, she should have known better.
Fruit starts to spoil the second you pick it, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Good grief, many countries don't refrigerate produce at all.step down and calm yourself.
I'm confused though, who doesn't keep a cake in the fridge overnight? I feel like you're supposed to keep any cake in the fridge until an hour or so before you need it
depends on the cake. Most cakes you can leave out without problems
No?
Yes specially when baker asks to put it in the fridge then it should be.
I also wouldn’t pick up a cake especially that big and complex the day before an event, that’s a day of thing
These cakes 100% should have been refrigerated overnight! Also, I wouldnt say professional bakery. They are both professionals. One just has a store front and the other does it from home
What about you and the bakery both bake the same cake and Kevin judge? Like if you agree! 😁 Love your videos💗
I mean.. We all know what the result would be, so what's the point :D
Judging other first could be one video, but I would ALSO be super curious to see how see would make it after in a second video and show us the process etc.
Haha.... Of course she will chose his wife😅😉😒😁
How about he tries to guess whose cake is whose. That way there isn't really a bias
@@alexandravictoria Do you really think they will upload a video in which hers is the worse one?
Im a cake artist and i always tell my customer to put the cake in the fridge.. the worst thing you could do is keeping it at room temperature
Unless ur eating it the same day, I’d be worried it’d go off if I didn’t put it in the fridge
Yes but if you have a fondant covered cape it can mess the whole thing up after it comes out and comes to room temp.
Exactly!!
Refrigeration destroys the texture of cake.
@@iriswaldenburger2315nope, even if you’re eating it the same day, if you are told to keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to cut it it means keep it in the fridge until the moment you cut it.
How can a professional bakery not be embarrassed to charge you $435 for that mess??
Outrageous !!! Worth 90 $ at most
Yes!!! The bakery shouldn't have done A LOT better than that. I just bake cakes for my family and I wouldn't have let them see anything that looked like that. Where is the pride?
@@berengereful i agree that it could have been better, but at 90 bucks you'd only pay for a minimum wage person to work on it for 6 hours... Including the baking and chilling. Not just the decorations. Someone earning over 15 dollars an hour would be spending even less time for the full 90 dollars.
Bc it's a highly skilled job so you're going to be paying top dollar for the training that the person had. Even people who are not masters you pay for their skill, just like when you have work done by an apprentice or journeyman plumber.
Then on top of that you are getting an artistic piece, so you are buying something you could technically resell and make money off of. So you pay more bc of the fact it is one of a kind. Then on top of that you are asking for something custom, which means that the creator will have to invent to execute your ideas. Again, you're not paying someone to make something they made 100 times but something entirely new.
Even something not perfect it takes a lot of time and skill to be able to execute.
The prices of these cakes are very fair. These cake were very difficult, time consuming, and had extreme amounts of detail. These are not typical cakes. Even when we if the cakes did fall apart, they were still incredibly difficult and time consuming to make. And in the baker’s defense the cakes did not look like this when they sold them. Kevin even said that. Complicated cakes like this never hold up to time, or being moved well.
The way the first one was addressed is really rubbing me the wrong way because you did not follow instructions and put in the fridge like was instructed, especially since it was just laying there overnight. Definitely an unfair judgement there
Exactly! And their justification of ignoring the instructions made no sense. The amount of frosting and fondant between the layers of the cup cake and hamburger cake are going to be different because of the level of detail on the hamburger one's layers. It literally looks like it melted and that wouldn't have happened if it was in a fridge
I totally agree. They knowingly ignored the instructions. It was probably seeping because they included "apecial sauce". But regardless, they were told REFRIGERATE UNTIL SERVING and left it out OVERNIGHT. Just because they were the same flavors doesn't mean they used the same quality of ingredients. They probably didn't use preservatives or artificial stuff.
Yes! Also I’ve had strawberries go bad in the fridge within a day or two of buying them . I can definitely see them going bad in a cake left at room temp overnight (in the SUMMER).
No, she’s right, fondant *never* goes in the fridge
Honestly, as a chef and a food handler myself, this really rubbed me the wrong way too. I couldn't ever leave something like this with all the strawberry sauce and frosting and stuff overnight on the counter it would drive me insane. I wouldn't feel it's safe to eat after sitting at room temperature - in the summer - for probably over 12+ hours... I don't know anything about fondant tho so I have to take your words for it but still, if the baker said to put it in the fridge, I would have put it in the fridge. They probably know better since they literally baked the cake... I mean, they could have trash talked their fondant the next day if they want but at least they would have followed the instructions HAHA. - But also, yeah, I think the cake wasn't well structured as well, but that's honestly not bugging me as much as leaving a cake with fresh fruits sauces and all on the counter to sit all night ?? XD
It would' ve been nice to see a picture of the first cake when he picked it out! Maybe taking a picture of the cake at the beggining just in case sm happens would be really good! Love these videos btw, pls keep doing them✨
Definitely this, cakes can easily get damaged during transport with things bumping around even within the box.
Yeah I wish he’d take a picture before he leaves with them just so if there are issues, we see how it looked
I also feel if a place gives specific instructions, you should follow it for sake of fairness when doing a review.
Thats EXACTLY what I thought but they could have made the burger cake better by using cake boards in between the layers or used icing in between and make it look like ketchep or something
Agree
As a person who has a home bakery business, this is quite disappointing. I think the criticism's are fair regarding the quality of the decorations etc, but to make a big deal over cakes collapsing when you are told on picking up on how to store it... then disregarding that advice... is not okay.
She admits that she should have refrigerated the strawberry and not once did she say it was the bakers fault. The other one fell over because she didn’t structure it properly at all, that was the bakers fault.
if you watch the video she says multiple times that the cake shouldn’t have had to be refrigerated to not fall or ooze and that the cake should’ve been fine left out overnight even though the baker said to refrigerate it. it’s really weird to critique the cake over things that would’ve not happened if she just followed the instructions from the baker
A fondant cake should be fine even if not kept in the refrigerator, the cakes were not structured properly
The at home baker did so well though
So as an at home baker you would be ok charging that much money for un unstructured cake. It fell because it was not scewered, not because it was not put in the fridge.
You know.... It always amazes me how the "pro" bakeries don't look that impressive, they're just charging for supplies rather than time. They don't really give the love to cakes that home bakeries do. They don't focus on the texture and color (edit: and flavor). They get the basic shapes done and call it a day. And I hate that.
Exactly
Very true a lot of the time 😊👍🏻
Just a suggestion, maybe review the cakes when you get them, not a day after :) After all, people put a lot of work in them... Even if that was not the issue, not placing a cake in a fridge when you are specifically told to, is also not a good thing, at least review right away :) Love your channel though.
True...
🤦🏻♀️dude no because some people don’t review the cakes and they might have an event the nexts day. It would’ve fallen over regardless.
@@nicoleworld4454 first, I am not a dude, second, I would NEVER serve people a cake which has been left unrefrigerated overnight.
It all seems like an ego boost by trashing an otherwise decent product
Her reviews are unfair. Review them the same day. She's awful
I think you should start taking a photo when you first pick it up to see what it looked like originally and then see what happens when it sits for one day, since these keep falling.
yes exactly...have kevin make a videos of cakes too....
They are too lazy and can't be bothered to do so!
@@chrystalteal4171 or maybe they just didn’t think to do that yet? It takes a lot of energy and forethought to shoot and edit videos. The production value on this channel is extremely high, so they clearly aren’t lazy. Why be rude, do you work in production?
@@chrystalteal4171 not more than u
I’d love to have seen them before on the day of. I don’t think it’s quite fair to let them sit out for a day. Most people pick up their cakes the day of their event.
greetings Sheena,how are you today?
if the at home baker started with very ripe strawberries, and you left them out for a day and half. They could turn like that. I love watching these videos. And I would be so so upset at a plain vanilla cake with sugar flavored frosting.
I feel like if I leave my fresh strawberries out even for half a day, they go bad.
Especially if they go from a very cold environment to room temperature.
Especially if they are organic strawberries. Organic doesn't last as long and must be refrigerated.
Oh 100%. once cut, fruit MUST be kept in the fridge. Food safety requirements in my area state that because once they're cut they're no longer shelf stable. Even regular strawberries are generally kept in the fridge. I wish they would've taken the home baker's advice.
Maybe if the cakes were refrigerated like they should have been? Who picks up a cake the day before and leaves it out?
Exactly my thoughts. Frosting melts
Definitely! Every cake I’ve ever gotten from a bakery has needed to be refrigerated. The one time my dad picked up my sweet sixteen cake for my big party and he forgot- it literally started sliding around and looked like a leaning tower.
Especially with strawberries in it! The juices ooze out and that’s why it looked like that!
You would be amazed...people don't always listen to instructions or read them.
Kevin does
I always keep fondant cakes in the fridge. Of course you need structure too but I believe the fridge is what keeps the buttercream stiff which helps the cakes stay together.
THANK YOU! But alot of amatuers or non-bakers know more than we do. 🙄 And then also admitting not following the bakers directions knowing theres whip in it. Customers fault
Thank you!
I always refrigerate my fondant cakes. They go in abox and then into the fridge. You should always refrigerate cakes with fresh fruit filling and you should follow your baker's instructions
If you challenge bakeries with images that aren't cakes you've made before you should totally make a version yourself to compare!
oof the micro aggression in this comment
@@jaylamarie7442 oh my bad I didn't mean to be aggressive! I just think it would be fun to see how she'd tackle making an epic cake!
@@jaylamarie7442 yeah, even if they didn't mean it I felt the passive aggressiveness in my soul
99.9% of people who order cakes don't make cakes. But they still expect it to look like their instructions. People send us pics all the time and say make it look like this. We either do it or tell them up front no way. But never in 20 years have I said to someone ordering to make their own version to show me how it's done
@@christinanewcomb1718 most people ordering cakes arent professional bakers getting people to bake just to rate them on an online forum?
The strawberry’s might of been the reason they told you to refrigerate the cake because in my experience if you take strawberry that have been in the fridge and then leave them out they can go brown and slimy really fast.
Kind of like when you make guacamole right? The avocado gets brown so quick
I would love to see you recreate some of these cakes
Yes!!! I commented the same thing! I want to see her do this one for sure!
Yes I agree!
Yes! Great idea.
Yes show how cakes should be structured
Me too!!
I feel like it mostly y'all's fault for not putting it in the fridge until the revile. Many things could go wrong with tall cakes. And it did. Will you make a burger cake?
I take huge issue in the fact you let these cakes sit overnight, let alone not even in the fridge.
But wouldn't people keep them overnight for an event? You wouldn't really collect them the day of, too much could go wrong, so they would sit overnight. Also she explained why they shouldn't be refrigerated.
@@vanityvry most of the time you pick up the cake the day of the event, most bakeries won’t even let you pick it up the day before for this exact reason.
Me too
especially when they specifically instructed them to keep them in the fridge, and they just didn't do that? And now you're giving them a bad rap publicly when YOU didn't follow instructions!
@@vanityvry every cake I've ordered I've picked up the day of
I thought the edible paper was to make the cup look like an actual paper cup, haha.
I think it’s incredibly unfair to the first baker to nitpick so much on the burger cake structure when you didn’t follow their instructions to refrigerate it. Obviously the drink is a simpler shape so even if it’s made of the same components it had a better chance of not toppling despite also not being refrigerated.
that’s exactly what i was thinking. they didn’t even follow bakers instructions!! i was pretty aghast hearing that
Looking at the strawberries made me wanna gag
Yes, exactly. And also the entire cake the drink was made out was wrapped in fondant, whereas the burger was separate cakes wrapped individually.
Yes! How ridiculous to not follow instructions and then complain 🙄
I agree 100%.
So let me get this straight....you let the cakes sit out overnight? 🤦🏻♀️ and did you say fondant cakes should never go in the fridge? 😒 I've never had an issue with fondant cakes being stored in the fridge as long as they are in a box and when I go pull it out of the fridge before an event I leave it in the box and leave it alone to avoid condensation. That's how I instruct my customers to do it also. This video got on my damn nerves 👎
Is it customary to expect a client to have room in their fridge to accommodate these huge cakes? If I’m having a party, my fridge is already full. I’ve only gotten a few specialty cakes in my lifetime and I’ve always picked up the day of the party.
@@tigerreviews3743 This is how it's supposed to be done. They should've done the video the day they got the cakes. Should've ordered the cakes for that day.
Like, I don't know where they live but never in a million years would I let a cake just sitting around not refrigerated.
@@tigerreviews3743 she is a professional baker, she has a second refrigerator just for cakes. So yeah she could have. And even for normal people.. First of all you always pick out cake ON the day. Or you take out the bottom shelf and put it in the fridge. It is $400. When you had leftover cake from your birthday, did it go into a cabinet???
@@tigerreviews3743 if you didn't have room in your fridge for a large presentation of food that requires refrigeration then don't buy it??? You literally said 'what if I don't have room in my fridge for something that requires refrigeration?' the answer is sorry, you don't have room for it. It's like would you buy a 5 gallon bucket of ice cream and then be upset if it doesn't fit in the freezer? who's fault is it really? not the people making the food for sure, it's the people leaving it out lol.
me watching this while eating dunkaroos frosting straight from the can: "i cannot *believe* they didn't tier those burgers! FOOLS!"
🤣🤣🤣
I actually have insight on this one! My mom makes cakes with strawberries quite often, and they go bad soooo fast. A bowl of cut strawberries, even in the fridge, goes bad super fast. Especially when they're soaked in water/juice (from cleaning and cutting) and if they have sugar sprinkled on top (common way of prepping strawberries for desserts). When left outside the fridge after all the time it took to prep them and soaking up that sugary frosting, they will 100% turn brown like that. The seepage is probably from the strawberries going bad
Probably the reason you should've put the at home cake in the fridge is because of the strawberry, idk where u live but if I leave some chopped fruit out on my house oh it IS gonna go bad and those strawberries were smushed in frosting and cake so I think the fridge could've fixed that problem, ALSO can we appreciate the fact that the coke cake is practically holding the burger?? I mean it could've fallen over too but nooo👏🏻👏🏻
I refrigerate all of my fondant cakes. If you're not sure just place it in a sealed corrugated box and allow it to come to room temp in the box. I even put my fondant cakes in the fridge unboxed with no issues. It really depends on the humidity levels in your refrigerator. It's best to put a tester piece of fondant in your refrigerator overnight to see how it responds to your humidity levels.
You know you can just accept your mistake, right? YOU messed the first cake up by not following a simple instruction, it's not hard to understand that strawberry shortcake made of fresh strawberries will start to drip if let to sit out for 24 hours and hence it would fall.
I started watching your videos because you were fun but this review is pointing towards a bad attitude.
They always critique others but refuse to listen to instructions.😪 The poor bakeries / bakers did not deserve to be critiqued like so.
The at-home one was probably supposed to be refrigerated because of the strawberries, I bet they went bad over night
I worked in a professional bakery making wedding cakes and we had a humidity control fridge especially for fondant cakes
Imagine being told to keep a cake in the fridge and then moan after it's been out of the fridge all day and night that the strawberries and filling taste off 🙄 not a very fair review in my opinion
With the strawberries, my thoughts are: part of the reason they wanted the cake in the fridge is because of the fruit. It can spoil quickly if not kept cold and inside of the icing, etc.
Any time I make a cake with fruit inside it, I refrigerate it to keep the fruit fresh and from going "off".
I question whether Laurie's ever used fresh strawberries in the filling and then left it overnight. Lol. They turn FAST! I'm a cake artist and I've experimented on how to best preserve fresh fruits at room temp if my cakes are going to be sitting at room temp for a long time. Letting them macerate in sugar and then adding just a bit of gelatin to stabalize the syrup helps to keep the fruit fresh for longer. But you still should keep it refrigerated overnight! Fondant cakes that don't have perishable fillings can be stored in air tight boxes at room temp over night, but absolutely not if they have perishable fillings! A lot of professional bakers make a point of this and give you tips on how to reduce risk of condensation or color bleeding on fondant cakes. Karolyns Kakes actually has a great video explaining how to best do it.
I was not surprised at all that the at-home baker did a better job, or that it was a more competitive price. When you pulled off the basket, my first thought was that it should have been in the fridge.
I wonder if the home bakery cake had whipped cream or some other dairy in it so they said to refrigerate. And those strawberries could turn brown pretty quickly just from pressure.
y'all should take a picture/video clip of how the cakes are when they're first given to you vs. how they are a day later when they're revealed to you!!
That first cake was gorgeous! I thought the burger was supposed to be that way because Big Macs can be messy. They did amazing. I don’t know why there wasn’t any love
What would be really cool, next time you do a comparison between 2 different bakeries, bake your own version of what you would expect and then compare all 3?
I don't know if it's just me but I always feel like it's so anti-climatic that you blurr the cake at the first moment. I would much rather see it right away and react with you.
I agree
Me too
it feels self-centered, like she wants all focus to be on her reaction first, to dictate how we feel. Not shocked, considering she trashed a cake that she didn't follow basic instructions to refrigerate it and instead left it out all night long and had the audacity to wonder why it started melting. Ridiculous.
If you could recreate the exact same cake, that would be interesting 😊
I've never had issues with fondant in the fridge.... 🤔 I couldn't imagine not putting it in the fridge...if it can't go straight to my clients after I make it...i can't just let it set out. I'm a self taught decorator and never had a cake fall over.
But there isn’t any tomatoes on a Big Mac. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun! They act like they don’t know the song or something 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
there is a song?? :O
I was looking for this comment lol or I was gon comment it myself, them “professionals” should know there ain’t no tomatoes on a Big Mac lol
right ! Everyone knows the song lol
I said the same exact thing. Big Macs don't have tomatoes.
@@lilrobin8769 those of us that are older remember the commercial song for Big Macs.
I'm an at-home baker. It's sad that an at-home baker cannot charge as much as a professional bakery but our product has to be flawless or our name gets pummled!!
i want a video where you teach the right way to structure a cake, or maybe more words about what the correct method would have been :)
I was thinking the same thing.
Check out her transforming grocery store cakes, she goes through it pretty in depth
Based off your feedback about taste etc. I think the home baker wins it! Which makes me really happy to hear (despite the flaws), because I’m a home baker and it’s nice to see that we can create better products than the “big bakery shops”!
Semi-professional baker/decorator here 🙋♀️ I have my own little cake business, I do maybe 24 cakes a year, and I'm 2 years in. I had a lot of help. My mom did the same thing I do when I was a kid, and my neighbor owns a much more successful business, and I spent as much time with her in my adult years and helping her with details as I did with my mom while she did hers. The first thing I was ever taught by both of them, was structure. I mostly do 6 or 8 inch single tier cakes. In the event I do have a 2 tier cake, 5 dowels in the bottom tier and a cake board on top when I go past 3 reasonable sized layers. Structuring larger layers for single tiers more than 3 reasonable layers as well. I don't advise my people to use the fridge when fondant is involved, but I do suggest so when it's just a buttercream cake. Structure is key. Most tiny little detail flubs can be forgiven when the cake is structurally sound. I can honestly say that I have been structuring since day 1, and anyone who has ever known enough to decorate a cake should have learned first and foremost that structuring is massively important.
I have a BIG issue with the judgement here. HE knowingly ignored instructions. She said thry are thr same flavor, they AREN'T. They also probably don't use preservatives, which is why you need to REFRIGERATE. Also, just details, but a Big Mac doesn't COME with tomatoes, that was actually a LACK of attention to details.
Neither of these inspires me to trust any bakery...not at that price. 😱
This series is making me develope some serious trust issues LOL!
For the prices heck no! I’d rather get something that tastes good
But you messed it the first one by not putting it in the fridge
@@TheIcingArtist They're sesame seeds, not poppy seeds.
"poppy seeds" unecesarily pissed me off😂😂
I bet that's the juice from the rotting strawberries. It needed to in the fridge so they wouldn't go bad so fast? But they probably baked and stacked the one day and then came back a second day to decorate and thennnn gave it to you the day after depending on the time you requested pickup I think.
The edible paper on the entire outside of the "cup" actually helps it look like a paper cup -- it would be tough to, even with fondant, have that same matte paper appearance.
Another negative on the pricier cake: BIG MACS DO NOT HAVE TOMATOES ON THEM! 🙄😂
If you'd get this for a real Big mac lover, they would be so offended by that.
two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun had to say it outloud to fact check you, burnt into my brain from a "70's" commercial. Probably the only thing I can recite verbatim from my whole HS experience
Exactly what I was going to say!
As One who use to work at a pretty decent McD’s - the home-baker made an incredibly accurate meal representation, lol.
So I totally think you need this challenge. The Bleeding Armadillo Cake, from the movie Steel Magnolias. :)
I'd would so love to see efforts on that one!
😂😂😂Love it!
Great idea
The burger tipping over and sliding of it self seems pretty accurate to what McDonald’s would you
Lets be honest...the homemade seeping looks like an accurate representation of a big mac lol
Winner in my book!
@The Icing Artist Laurie (or is it Lori? Cant tell because of accents im sorry 😞) can you please remove the bot reply under my comment? These bots are commenting on ALL MY COMMENTS ALL OVER RUclips and youtubes response has been a LACK of a response. I cant get them to stop. I hate having to see their nasty pictures just to block them and im afraid im going to get in trouble with youtube because ive been reporting literally every single day. So please delete it. Its literally a bot account copying someone comment from your comments section on this video while using nasty pictures no one wants seer
Came here just for this comment. Looks exactly like a big mac to me.
I actually prefer the entire sheet of edible image because it makes it look more realistic since there is a seam on the actual cup
Maybe photos should be taken immediately after being picked up.
do you guys not take a picture of the cakes BEFORE travel to compare in case it gets ruined ???? wtf
I think they didn't use one square peice of paper because sometimes the cups have seems. They're not always completely smooth and perfect
That's what I was wondering! But then the seem was so far apart, and angled, and bubbling. If that was their thought it was a really good idea, just missed a bit on the execution.
@@TheIcingArtist yeah it could've been made better won't deny that
If the baker said to keep it in the fridge till serving it, it’s not their fault for falling apart…
I liked the home-baked one :)
They did such a better job overall!!
@@TheIcingArtist btw, thanks for making such fun sweet videos. Really love your content!
Me: *scoffs * what rookie structuring mistakes.
Also me: *never made a tiered cake in my life *
after seeing these could you do a video just about tiering cakes? it would be nice to get all your tips on it and how to do it properly :)
You can use tapioca straws if it is a smaller tiered cake or dowel rods. Put your first cake board down and (let's say this is a 6" diameter cake) insert your rod or straw into the cake and cut to the same height as your cake layer. 4 rods are enough. Place them halfway between the center and edge of cake (2" from center) one on each direction (North, South, East, and West. Then place your next cake board on top and your next layer of cake. Always be sure that each cake layer is level (top side and bottom). Cut the rounded top off of the cakes before stacking. The wider the cake, the more rods you will need!
I think the edible image on the cup could’ve worked as an entire wrap around if it was a singular sheet which would actually mimic the seam of a real McDonald’s cup. Sad day for the structure of those cakes...and sad day for those strawberries. Definitely appreciate the cookie fries. I’ve ordered cakes for my channel too and I’m surprised at the breakage that occurs! RIP to the melted sugar sheet I received 😬. Love your videos. You are an inspiration! 💕 home baker for the win in this case (standing cake wins!!)
Love these videos! One request, can you please put a mic on Kevin?? Or at least subtitles like in a previous video? It is so hard to hear him!
Yes, I agree! I couldn't hear him at all in the background and thought there would be captions for it on the video....
I’m an at home baker and I know how to structure a cake! I can’t believe any baker/cake decorator doesn’t know how to structure a cake. It’s very surprising the professional baker didn’t know! Love your channel! You are so much fun!
I don't think that you realise how much you make our days better just by smiling
Awwwwwwwwww!!! you're melting my heart!!😭
@@TheIcingArtist You melted me just by replying to me and now I see that you also giving heart to my comment. I am honoured.
The sweetest baby Satan ever🖤🖤 She does have an beautiful contagious smile though!
@@skyemc3669 yeah..... Ik right
It is unfair to judge a cake whether its structure, quality based on pricing,, or design, after you fail to store cake in the necessary refrigeration.
I'm so cheap. The whole time I'm watching this I'm like, "Dang, that's a lot of wasted money..."
That's not being cheap it is a lot of wasted money i mean nearly 800 for two cakes is just too much
luckily she can write it off at the end of the year for business expenses.
Hahah the most popular cake flavours are ones that sell the most, and they're usually not the best tasting flavour that a baker/bakery has to offer.
E.g. my most popular cake is plain and red velvet. But my best tasting flavour is lemon blueberry and strawberry...
So next time as for their best tasting flavour 😉
Yep! People are basic. I think vanilla is also the most popular ice-cream flavor, if I remember correctly.
I love these comparison videos! I think it would be really cool if you then did a follow up video showing us how you would make it, and showing us what you would do the same as the bakeries, what you would change, and the steps in structuring/decorating!
It would be cool if you could also bake and decorate a cake using the same guidelines, like your version of this McDonald's cake, instead of just saying what they could have done or maybe when you make it more free design like the Halloween theme one, to present your own cake.
Can you please do a Tea and Book themed cake for all the bookworks out there?
Great idea!
And make the book vertically open so papers are shown
omg yessss
I agree with others about refrigerating them. I always refrigerate my fondant cakes & they hold up fine day-of coming to room temp while on display, but sitting out overnight might be a different story. As far as execution of design I think both cakes were crap & not worth the prices. As a baker I would be ashamed of these cakes & could not justify over 3 or 4 hundred dollars for work like that. The dimensions were way off & details were poorly executed…etc. What you charge as a baker is justified not only by the time it took & supply costs, but for the quality of your artistry. You don’t get to charge the same prices as someone who would have executed this to perfection just because it took a lot of time & effort. Hone your skills & it will justify your prices.
Settle an arguement for us, what is the BEST fast food chain? 🤔
McDonalds 1000%
Subway
Mcdonalds
umm i like burger king more but we all know its Mcdonalds because of there shoestring fry
Anything but Wendy’s
The At home cake definitely looks the best. That the burger is a bit crooky is just how all burgers from McDonald's looks like, when you order here in Denmark. Can't remember when I've seen a straight standing burger 😂😂🙈🙈
I was just watching your vegan butter cream icing recipe as I got the notification for this! More vegan recipes please? Love your videos!
Yes Vegan Recipes. As a vegetarian there is not that many famous You Tubers who make no egg no dairy cakes / desserts. But you make it. So thank you.
Okay, I agree with most all things you say. But when you ask for the "most popular cake flavor" you will always get vanilla or chocolate. The "fun" flavors will never be as popular as those two.
He needs to start taking pictures when he picks them up so we can see how they started out lol
Yor videos are literally the best and you don't fake your vids ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The home baker definitely did it better. I've sold multiple cakes out of my kitchen and I find that an individual usually does it better and pays attention to detail more than a big bakery. I'm amazed that both never thought about structuring a very tall burger cake, it's crazy! (You forgot to taste the cookie fries, I was curious how it tasted.)
Laurie is getting more creative with her videos!
Laurie, you have been posting so often and I love it! I love your content! It’s is amazing and you inspired me to bake my first 2 tier cake!
Okay so the Netflix show Nailed It does “at home baking experiences” occasionally where you can buy all the dry ingredients and instructions for a cake and I’d love to see you follow a long to one
Personally we get the cakes on the day of event. Usually, everything is perfect on day one. 🤗
Every time I make an order I imagine people critiquing my cake like you are haha
Yes! I do the same thing with my cookies!
Where are you located? I'm always looking for home bakers. I live in iowa?
I would love for you to follow up each of these reviews with your own video about how you would go about making these cakes that you are requesting. You keep saying that you would have structured it differently but I am very curious how you would do it! Thank you so much these are very entertaining!
Laurie is just the cutest , everything she does is just so adorable
Can you do a sugar sheet technique on a cake? I want to learn how! I have learned so much from your channel!
