What star rating do you think these cakes deserve??

[JuJuLotz]

If I order a custom cake, it better be at least 90% edible. Instant 1 star if a “cake” is mostly styrofoam

[RummerChan]

This lady is single handedly keeping all the 1 star bakeries in her town in business. 😂

Maybe next time you do an “x” star-rated bakery vs a “y” star-rated bakery you let Kevin set them up beside each other without you knowing which is which and you can rate them fairly based on quality. Then Kevin can do a big “reveal” which is which blinded.

I have literally never ordered a custom cake in my life, so naively, I didn't even realise that styrofoam was an option. I just assumed that if you ordered a cake, it would be made of cake. All of it edible except the odd bit of decoration.

To pay 800$ for two blocks of styrofoam with a small cake on top is insane!
Minus 10 stars!

I love how you said, "I was expecting butter cream because he said it was going to be butter cream" almost apologetically. FUNNY how you expected it to be what they said 😝

This is so off topic but I just has a local bakery make my birthday cake (she’s made mine and my husbands cake) and my prompt to her was lemon blueberry pancake with maple cream cheese frosting and wowza, it was amazing. $80. Took my breath away. lol this styrofoam costing almost $900 is mind blowing

[daniellequestad]

That second cake is a 1 star for that price FOR SURE

[PyxeledGenesis]

It's important to keep in mind that these are WEDDING CAKES, specifically for an entire WEDDING to share😭 No excuses for filling space with inedible materials. I would be so mad if my wedding left guests eating styrofoam.

[dreamincolor]

The $666 payment should have been a sign of how the cake was going to be 😂😂😂😂

People put Styrofoam in custom wedding cakes?! To put it into comparison, I was married twice (just got remarried this past summer) and had custom wedding cakes for both. My first wedding in 2010, I had a 5 tier wedding cake for 250 people that had 3 different flavors and sugar orchids that was around $1200. For my second wedding this past summer, I had 9-inch round and 130 cupcakes with raspberry filling that cost me $550 for everything. That price for 2 chunks of Styrofoam is shocking. I've also participated and been in multiple wedding parties in my life and I've never seen this before.

Holy crap $847.00 for 1 square of cake, I would freak out!

[toxicginger]

The second bakery replying to the reviews is giving me Amy's Baking Company vibes. ... If you know, you know. 🤣

This video taught me that I need to become a "Stryofoam Fondanter" and charge people heaps of money. If these bakeries can do it, SO CAN I.

[suvimaru]

Problems is an understatement. If I’m paying THAT much for a cake ATLEAST 90% of it should be edible. I don’t care if it’s rice crispies, cake, cookies, whatever. But to get mostly STYROFOAM?! Oh I’d be BLASTING them.

[hannahpinson]

When you think about the review that said the service was awful, that review was written over a decade ago. It's entirely possible the service was bad back then, but improved.

18:44 Laurie swinging the cakes around while Kevin's standing at the side filming Archie is such a mood

[Sovriin]

have you considered doing a you vs 1 star vs 5 star bakery? kevin picks the design, and you and the other two bakeries make it in your styles. Id love to see your takes on some of these super complex/structural designs!

[Destinyirus]

Girl u were WAYY too nice about that 2nd cake.. legit almost the entire cake was styrofoam for $800?!? Girl I’d be pissed tf off

[laurenkathleen]

The fact you can put the cakes in the back with Archie, and he doesn't eat them. He's such a good boy ! He deserves lots of treats and pets
