    My first ever BIRTHDAY cakes ordered from a bakery! For my birthday this year we wanted to go all out and make a really fun video of getting our favorite bakeries to surprise me with EPIC cakes based off something they think I would love, and oh did they blow me away!!! Someone made ME into cake, a giant topsy turvy stack of foods as cake with me on top and an insane 3D carved stand mixer with everything edible (even the pipping bag!!!!) WHAT?!?! Omg.

      I would charged that or even $2000 since so many layers and details. I don't fault the cake for it falling over. It came by vehicle, no telling how long it's been sitting for her to do the video and usually take the off the tiers before cutting rhem so it's really her fault if she thinks going stay standing.

    Lots of love for all bakeries, the cakes are all gorgeous... BUT I can't believe Laurie chose the first one as the favorite! I mean, the 3rd one is on a WHOLE other level, and I don't think I've ever seen such a cool birthday cake before. The details, the personalization, the flavor (apparently), and the construction are insane. I mean, even the taco was a cake! The amount of research they did was also so impressive, and I feel that after all that work and having gone through 3 trucks to get that cake over to her, they probably were a bit disappointed that she chose the first one that was so much more rushed =/

      Right?? That was my thoughts! They had like a perfect replica of her dog on there and all these hyper detailed versions of all of her favorite foods. A cake that looked exactly like her trip and her truck and trailer. Like how does it get more personal than that third cake?? They went ABOVE and BEYOND. I was floored.

    • @leifang1211
      @leifang1211 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      The first cake in concept is really good. But the square base at the bottom was boring and lazily decorated, the figure doesn't hold up to closer inspection. The third cake, that's the one that draws attention and honestly matched what she hoped for before seeing any of the cakes.

  • @allisongomez7263
    @allisongomez7263 2 ปีที่แล้ว +344

    I'm leaning towards the second or third cakes over the first. They could have done a lot with a simple damp brush to smooth out some of those rough edges and there were scratches in the fondant that didn't need to be there. It looked a little rushed, and if the other two did theirs in the same window of time without making mistakes, the first one should have been just as capable.

    • @myladycasagrande863
      @myladycasagrande863 2 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      I agree that the first one could have been better, but the size of the business may have been a factor. If I recall correctly, the first one is a home bakery, so likely a 1-2 person operation. If the other shops have more people, they can get more done in the same time span.

    • @SS-td7hg

      @@myladycasagrande863 I understand and somewhat agree, however, I have purchased cakes for cheaper than this, made by one person, done in a similar or less of a time frame, and they were not that messy. I am shocked the person who made cake #1 sent that to Laurie. I made a fondant cake once and I was able to smooth my fondant out better that this. This person is supposed to be a professional and they charged $450!!!! That is not a small amount of money. Imagine you got that cake for your daughter on her birthday, would you be happy with it? I wouldn't. I would be upset as its a mess, scratched, torn, ripped apart, you can see bits on unmixed dye, you can see the hand was thrown together and had black dye on it, there were chunks of fondant falling off the cake like where the shirt/collar meets the neck, the seams were the raw edges of the fondant and not even cut straight etc. That is so unprofessional and unacceptable. You do not send a cake out looking like that.

      The first one is far from neat…the figure is very poorly done.

    • @MrsBees
      @MrsBees 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Laurie didn't talk about all the imperfections of that first cake though. If you look at the unicorn cake you can see a big tear in the fondant right above the left eye(unicorn's left, our right). That is such a simple detail that you can't mess up. It's a regular round cake. There is something wrong if a pro can't cover a small round cake without ripping the fondant and then allows it to be in the finished product. That was unacceptable.

    I feel like if the 1st cake perfected all those teeny details, it would be my favorite of all of them. Simple concept, all about Laurie, and obvious birthday cake.
    The 2nd cake was great, the egg shells and the piping bag were my favorite. I just feel like it was too impersonal. If it weren't for Laurie's logo, it could be mistaken for a bakery opening cake or something.
    Now, the third cake was just insane! Loved the topsy turvy and the taco! I think all I can say on it that weren't already said is that it feels more of a "Congratulations on the 4.6M subscribers" kind of cake rather than a birthday cake.
    Either way, all of them were great and wished I lived around the area so I can order from then as well!!

    The last cake reminds me of the cakes from the baking competitions on TV. Definitly a work of skilled cake sculptors. And 3 flavors, winning!! But the mixer cake was Amazingly realistic.

    Wow all the cakes looked so good. I loved all of them, but the last one was my favorite. I loved all the detail on the cake, it was amazing. The flavors sounded really good on all the cakes as well. I'm sad that part of your favorite cake fell in the end 😢 Hope you still got to enjoy most of it!

    Cake-you is just adorable and I can't imagine actually cutting into and eating it! The second one, the edible gelatin piping bag absolutely blew my mind, what the actual heck?? How.... Dang!! Laurie's little freak-out trying to move a cake onto a table with her eyes closed had me laughing so hard. That last one though, that last one was just miles above the others, my goodness!! (I type my comments as I'm watching, in case this feels especially disjointed...) Laurie's facial expressions when she tastes each cake, that's always one of my favorite parts of these videos. She looks like she's absolutely in love, lol.

    my favourite is the second "baking" cake! the details are there, it is very put together and not too out there. alsoo... cookies and cream!
    the third cake is stunning but there's just too much going on for me. but totally worth the money. the first one is a really great price but i don't like the crystal L and some of it looks unfinished. love the photograph collage on the cake board though, very creative.

    The mixer cake was a miss for me... The icing looks grey and more like dirt as oppose to icing. They could've done a fun nod to your hair color by doing purple icing.
    The first cake was a bit messy in my opinion and could have had some parts neatened up.
    The third cake quite literally took the cake for me! It is stunning and full of you!!

    • @cutierenesmeegirl

    They are all gorgeous! I agree that the blender wasn't personalized enough, but for the other two, the tall cake is absolutely amazing, but for a party, how could you even start cutting into that? It's an absolute show stopper, but the simpler design of the first one leaves more room for the real star of the party, the birthday girl, to shine.

    I was a huge fan in the past, but then a year ago learned I had celiac disease and I stopped watching because I was heartbroken knowing I could never enjoy such amazing cakes like this again. But now that I’ve come to terms with my diagnosis I’m able to appreciate the artistry again and OMG these cakes are fantastic each in their own ways!! I especially love the truck with camper and mountain background layer. ❤️
    Do you think you could ever make a video based on gluten free cakes or bakeries? Are there any of those in your area? It would be really neat to see what’s possible since I know it can be such a difficult texture to get right!

Basically having a horrible reaction to everything I eat and can't pin point the actaul problem. Not being able to enjoy the things you love to eat is such a sturggle.

Many of people have no issues eating those things in Europe. Maybe, if youre able to buy some non American products, you can try

    I feel like the first cake was a one woman show that tried to squeeze you in on top of other orders so that's why it wasn't as detailed as previous cakes.
    Cake #2 was awesome and I would love to see how the built the structure of that mixer!
    Cake #3 was built by a team. Awesome work! It only fell apart bc it was cut. I never recommend that my cakes be left out for long periods of time but I also live in the south.
