    Make this into a series! you could test all the classic flavours like chocolate, vanilla, carrot,... then make one group out of the odd and unusual flavours, and you could also test different types of desserts and pastries :) Though it would be great to see Tesco and MS included as well :P

      Fondant can be good if it’s homemade …but buttercream is better. I think fondant is mainly used for the decorative element, but still, butter cream decorated cake looks prettier, at least I think so.

      Fondant is objectively inferior, however it is delicious, and I love it, the plasticky, plasticine consistency is my favourite and I don't want a birthday cake without it!!

      @@georgieroberts8697 Don't think it's the eggs....Once out of the shell , eggs from US/Canada and UK are equal. We have to refrigerate our eggs because the eggs are washed before going into stores and therefore lose their protective coating on the shells.But you are right about the buttercream...no butter or cream in that...what a misnomer!

    For all my kids’ cakes, I ordered a plain round from the store bakery (usually white buttercream with trim), then took it home to decorate.
    Marmalade or lemon curd would be lovely in a cake; the tartness would offset the sugar.

    In Australia we don't get a lot of shelf stable cakes and not Birthday ones, just like loaf cakes, and definitely would NOT have one at a birthday. Our main supermarkets have bakeries in them or supplying them so you can get both fresh and mock cream cakes and you can order them as giant slab cakes too. We don't really have fondant cakes except fruit cake at Xmas. Definitely think you should see if you can pick up 'birthday cakes' from around the world at different bakeries around near you. What are the traditional cakes for birthdays in Italy, China, Korea, Australia, Kenya, Canada, Brazil etc :) Would LOVE to see that!! Keep creating love your videos :)

Even though both shops (Aldi, Lidl) are German I can guarantee that you'll never find anything similar to these cakes here! 😂 You find some cakes in the freezer section, but nothing compared to a specific 'birthday cake' 😄 Very interesting to see how much they change their range of goods to meet the customer's wishes in each country 🍰🧁🥧 And just out of curiosity, who ate all these cakes after the taste testing?! 🤣😅

    I'm so confused about the concept of non-refrigerated cake. Like how does it not go off?

      Preservatives. These are cheap, mass produced cakes. Nothing wrong with that, but if you want a fresh birthday cake in the UK you’d order it at a bakery. My favourite off the shelf cake is the rainbow cake at Marks and Spencer - affordable and delicious.

    There's a heat wave going on in Canada too. Not as bad as Europe though. Where I'm from, in Newfoundland, it's currently 34°c. It's so torturous! It usually doesn't get hot until mid-August. And usually only a few days of +25°c in a row. This has been weeks and weeks of 25-30°c on average 🥵

    42° C is 107° F, and that's quite warm! It's the record high temp for Salt Lake City Utah, near where I live. And we're in a desert climate! I feel your pain. :(
    Yes, Costco makes EXCELLENT cakes. Always a win!

    I feel that in the states, we have more of a sweet, sweet butercream, and a lot of it on our ready-to-go cakes. Not fondant at all. And some if those barely iced cakes.

    The lady let you go in front because she wanted to spend a few extra minutes in the air con! 😂
    Don't come to western Australia! We get days of over 40s in a row! We are more built for the heat here but when your houses doesn't get a respite to cool down in between the 43+°C, it stays like an oven and no at home airconditioner system can do anything to help.

    As someone from the US I can attest, yes Costco birthday cake is lovely! They also bake it all on site so it's so fresh and moist every time.

  • @lilajohnson4633

    I know in the US Costco also sells cakes - if you do a pt 2 that would be interesting to see if they also sell them in the UK stores!
