"I want people to say 'God that cake looks hideous, but it tastes good." Respectable.
"It's the perfect way of getting back at my step-mum." Based.
I mean having "kitsch" or "ugly" as your wedding theme is kinda of a brilliant idea. All wedding pictures age eventually but this way you can be like no we intentionally wanted it to be ugly.
@@fh9061 Depending how passive or outright aggressive the other family members are being, it could even be seen as a message endorsing the marriage itself. Sort of a "Yeah, I know it doesn't look like we go together, but we like it, and we are beautiful on the inside." sort of thing.
It doesn't sound like it would even taste good without the frosting, and using your wedding cake as revenge sounds kinda immature.
@@andrearace1168 well as for immature, she might be young. But I agree that without icing, without any cream, it's not going to be that good. Just dry
see, this is what "the customer is always right" means. it doesn't matter if what they want is ugly as hell, or whatever else personal taste is, it's your job, within reason, to make that available to them. it does not mean "do whatever i say, no matter what, or else it's bad business practice."
came here to say this!!
"The customer is always right in matters of taste"
That truly is the meaning indeed. In this case the costumer wanted revange and payed for it it was their intent so she wasn't paying only for the cake, she wanted the "ugly cake" not only a cake
Well... It depends... If you make something for a client that is perceived as bad in the eyes of most it always comes with the risk of other people thinking badly about your work and therefore losing potential clients even if the initial customer is pleased with what you served.
@@AsucaTheBLUBBYou're right but in that case it's not that the client is wrong it's that you're not suited to each other. 👍🏻
At least the bride is aware it’ll be an ugly cake. But seriously, she’s ordering it 12 days before the wedding?!
I mean... if you want it as ugly as you can... why not try to make it a rush job where there's bound to be an issue or two?
Probably so the step-mom can't change it lol. That's what one of the brides my mom had come in to order her's for 400 people. But she didn't make it a ugly cake. And dang if the Step-mom came in two days later and tried to change it and was told no. Lol
12 days should be doable with the lack of frosting and decor
@@saphireflare4183right to be honest almost 2 weeks seems like plenty of time
You think she canceled one the step mom tried to order for her then ran out to get her own without enough time for the mum to rectify it?
I really, really hope there were photos of this cake and they find their way onto the internet.
Real lmao. I want to see a cake like that
You dont think all that is real do you?
@@CaptainHieronymusLex I had someone order tacos with no shell from me yesterday. At this point, I'll believe anything.
Update: Asked a couple about salsa for their tacos on Wednesday...and they asked for ketchup packets.
unless she starts of the video as "weird things people have said to me as a baker" i think the rest of her videos like this one are just entertainment skits
Me too but unfortunately I assume that videos like these are amalgamations/exaggerations of real events, not true to life representations.
I love her attitude. I love it. I was saying to myself "That is a revenge cake if ever I heard one". Love it for her! Go get your duckman!
Yes!
I sooooo wish I had been invited to that wedding reception. I would have brought my own popcorn and kept my eyes laser focused on that mother-in-law. Feels like there is some reference to being judged by her appearances, vs being judged by her sweetness…
imma bet his themesong is darkwing duck >_
It's a terrible attitude.
Petty
Spiteful
And toward your husband's mother?
It give a glimpse of how she'll punish her husband in the future when she's unhappy with him.
A recipe for divorce.
@@Jami-vm1zv Adorable that you are missing that she is choosing the decorations to celebrate her and her husband's relationship.
And considering her way of setting her foot down is to make sure the cake still is tasty, I'd say it's a surprisingly kind way of saying "I choose what's right for my family so butt out".
Just because someone's mom makes demands it doesn't mean you have to cater to them. It's not the step-mom's wedding.
Personally I wouldn't invite her and I'd make it abundantly clear why not either. The person ordering the cake is alot nicer than I would've been.
At least it's not a "i asked for something and then got mad at the result of my request" situation
Yes I really respect the way the baker politely but clearly lets the client know of potential pitfalls.
Exactly!
She could still complain afterwards
Yep. The customer who orders a fish sandwich and then returns it for being too fishy.. standard cod. Definitely not a strong tasting fish as fish goes.
You have to admire the tenacity of the bride
The vibes are immaculate
Oh, I hope this is a true story, it sounds gloriously epic. Her wedding, her way, and the yellow is perfect as a nod to the fiancé's construction job. As long as its hi-vis safety yellow. Glorious!
Please let this be true!
Anything else I can get you?
Rainbow-sprinkles?
Baguette-supports?
A hug?
When she mentioned ''I want to get my back at my step-mum'' realising that made me burst into laughter
great video!
This will cost more as I'll need to bring in an engineering consultant
Literally though. I come from a family with engineers on both sides and if I had to make this I would for sure be asking for advice.
Fortunately, cakes are less complicated to design than most things professional engineers build so you could probably hire an engineering student to figure it out for less money than someone with a finished degree.
Still definitely an up charge though.
@@elliot-sowdon As long as you've got supports, you can make it work. Put some discs underneath each cake, put the load onto that, send it down to the bottom.
@@elliot-sowdonbuilding scaffolding around the cake would be hilarious, additional ugly for the hideous cake but also funny because of the husband’s job 😂
@@aiden3627 scaffolding could be cute on a construction themed cake but on this cake it would need to be as jarring as possible.
Cake 1 is covered in lime scaffolding to support a platform holding cake 2, which is covered in magenta scaffolding supporting a platform holding up cake 3.
The platforms could touch cake on both sides like the frosting layer of a normal cake, or they could be further elevated for an even weirder design.
Idk how to build tiny scaffolding for cakes but the premise seems sound.
@@elliot-sowdonyou have me thinking...... depending on the weight of the tier maybe a good solid cookie would work. Like a sugar cookie or gingerbread! Im envisioning circle cake layers with square or rectangle supports, about an inch of a gap between each tier.... I may try this one day
Get her to sign that she knows her options were advised against and are not very structurally sound but she insisted. I would never tell a bride no, I think you handled it well. I definitely had some out there visions for my wedding and I am so glad I went with them and the ones I was talked out of I always regretted.
Yep. Was going to comment this as well... If it was true, I hope she has a consent form to sign
Just to be clear, you know that this isn't real right? It's a roleplay skit for entertainment, and as far as I'm aware not based on actual experience. Though your advice is still helpful to anyone who does experience this type of situation!
This is the right way! This is what the saying 'the customer is always right in the matters of taste' means. If you think it's ugly and it's not your preference doesn't matter. So long as the customer is making an informed choice it doesn't matter if their choice is ugly.
omg I laughed so hard at 2:40 ..... and also I had an "aha!" moment when she mentioned her stepmom. 😂👌
Same 😂😆
A hideous revenge cake? That is genius level petty.
The bakers look was "this order might in fact kill me or hospitalize me"
I would love to see a part two where you either show peoples reaction to the cake or the bride coming in and telling you how it went with the MIL's reaction to the cake.
I want an end result picture now!
Seriously. A brick of red velvet on top of an ooze of dulce de leche, on top of a splodge of ginger fudge, no frosting to hold anything up or together, just three painfully heavy layers slowly succumbing to gravity.
Oh no... there is no "ok, you know better than me" 😂😂😂 I always adhere to what the professional in the room advises.
I mean, the professional's advice was essentially "do X to avoid the cake collapsing". Considering that the bride was deliberately going for the most hideous, visually disgusting cake possible, chances are that she is exactly hoping for it to collapse. And that of course means that doing the opposite of the professional's advice is her best bet here 😂
" Pretty much, it's all down to me."
Oof
That's the point where I'd advise rethinking the *whoooole* thing. If your partner doesn't want to be involved, that's a *bad* sign!
Rip to the baker's evenings until the 14th-
Fake cake for the cutting, gets wheeled back into the kitchen/out of view, 3 cakes come out for serving
I like it. It's brilliant.
Just dye some foam the proper colors with only the cutting layer (gingerbread) being real then wheel it back out the foam back into the sofa and cut the real cakes. You'll have the hideous showpiece and less of a headache.
@@LadyBern I was thinking you could use real fondant/frosting on foam with maybe an extra decoration to mark where to cut, with that being around a quarter or less of a real cake
@@seakhajiit but she requested no frosting on any of the cake. If there was then fondant would be the perfect way to disguise it.
@@LadyBern oops sorry I didn't rematch the video with the comment
@@seakhajiit I forgot that I was commenting on such an old video.
But a display/picture cake is a good idea. Could cost less if they just have to show that off, and not have to worry about a heavy structured cake or transporting it. Just have something that looks good to guests and photos while the real cake arrived safely without worries of talking teirs and is already being cut and plated.
No need to worry if someone tries to ruin the cake or kids try to sneak/grab a taste.
This channel showed up via algorithm yesterday and I have been binge watching ever since. I think I'm about 30 vids in. I love what you're doing! Thanks for the laughs.😂
Same here :D
Welcome to the following. It is really growing.😀💗😺
Imagine how much you dislike your step mom that you're willing to sabotage your own wedding just to spite her.
😲
Stepmom has probably been sabotaging it all along
now I really wish to see that cake
I have a feeling there is more to come on this one.
Now I really want to know what that customer said when she got the cake. Or even better, what the mother-in-law said when she saw it. xD
To be fair, the flavours sound delicious, though...
Also, fourteen days? Oh dear.
Funny enough, I had a similar conversation with a friend. We ended up using a cake stand to solve the issue.
Lemon ,spice,pumpkin or carrot cake would work with ginger .
But somehow I just can't imagine chocolate and ginger tasting very good together. 🎂 😫
@@judithsixkiller5586 not exactly the same, but you can get chocolate covered crystallised ginger and that’s really nice, but it is personal taste like everything else. In my mind, I wouldn’t put a carrot cake with ginger fudge, but might change my mind if I tried it.
@@judithsixkiller5586 Ginger fudge honestly tastes pretty great. I enjoy chocolate m&ms on my gingerbread men, and that should taste like this.
the silver duck is a fire addition though
oo, please make a part 2 where we see the reaction to the cake at the wedding :)
You do know it's not real. The same person is playing both sides. Omg
Watch wedding fails on CZcams. You won't be disappointed.
@@Ninjanimegamer i know it's not true- I was asking for a part 2 of the fictional story
@@Ninjanimegamer This isn't live video, obviously, but it's possible it could be a reenactment of a real incident.
Not to be picky, but there are many different colors that can be called yellow-lemon, banana, canary,taxi cab,etc. It’s entirely possible that she didn’t care which was used, but I am surprised the question of shade of yellow wasn’t confirmed considering how many people will decide one little detail “ruined the most important day of my life!”
I mean, it is a skit, no point in going over every detail that a real consultation would.
@@ggwp638BC I guess I thought that these were more reenactments, not hypothetical situations; but you’re right-even if that’s true, not every detail is accounted for. Or maybe a part two where she’s throwing a fit that it didn’t match her dress
@@christineheminger7762 Somehow I don't think that will be an issue for this bride 😂
@@onerva0001Yeah, as long as the MIL is not happy, the bride probably will be
. . . .If she cared what IT looked Like maybe, but given the whole Thing IS ment to BE hidious, that really does Not matter
I love how she looked like she was going to cry the entire time, but then is probably just so happy to clap back at her step mom, she's going all out.
What... No picture of the resulting hideous cake?! ... disappointing 😢😂
I was horrified until it got to the bit about getting back at the stepmom who wanted an all white wedding and I am laughing at the pettiness. 😂 There’s a story there, and I need to hear it.
Though isn't Tres Leches the cake traditionally soaked in milk, whereas dulce de leche is just a variety of Spanish caramel that would be traditionally more of a filling, like in alfajores?
Yeah I was wondering that!
Also funny that they said dolce haha
It makes it sound Italian 😂 it's pronounced dool-theh
I actually love dry cake. I don't like cake with icing at all. I probably wouldn't order that for my wedding since other people have to eat it too, but it's definitely my preference
As an Argentinian i wasnt expecting to hear dulce de leche in one of your videos lmao, it's cute the way you pronounce it though like a mix of Italian and Spanish ❤
I love your wonderful soothing voice. You could do guided meditations.
I would hope the bakery put each tier on its own level of the cake stand, or a platter in which to rest each tier.
That totally seems like she did that exclusively to get back at the step-mom 😅
It’s amazing anyone can get that done in that time frame, but also the best way to get back at a stepmother you don’t like lol.
I really wanna see the cake!
Even though it'll be 12 days before the wedding (not a lot of time), at least you're not spending gargantuan amounts of time decorating the cake and making it look perfect, since it's expected to be an ugly cake. I respect the bride for making it her wedding, and not her stepmom's wedding.
This is where I became convinced of the viability of a baker-themed soap opera/network series. Like, wow 😮 to the experiences, but also the dramatisation and execution 👏
I’ve just recently found your channel and I’m obsessed, everything about it - your dry sense of humor, your accent, the hilarity … I love you so much 🤣
I have to ask, because I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around this - when you do these videos, are these REALLY things people have ordered from you?!?! I can’t even 😂😂
I wouldn't be surprised if she isnt going through this wedding at all and just getting a cake made just to say she had it made lol... Always absent fiance, and a monster in law and he passed all the responsibility of the wedding planning to her.
I could really use a reveal episode that shows: 1. Bride's reaction at picking up the cake/when it was delivered. 2. Groom's reaction to the same. 3. Step-mom's reaction as well.
Hey, as long as it makes the couple happy! Just hope her fiancé is okay with the ugly wedding cake thing.
Funny, but I want to see what this cake would look like!! LOL 🤣
I would love a part 2 of this regarding the aftermath after the wedding.
She doesn't need a wedding cake, she needs a marital consult, this girl is NOT OKAY to marry that guy and you can definitely tell.
I love how they're both on the verge of tears
The duck really tied this cake together!
You're so thoughtful and professional!!! Love your channel!
The baker looks like they need therapy after this interaction 😂
I would've asked her if we could do a completely yellow 3 tier with a 2 tier "fake cake" at the bottom with a real top for them to cut and do sheet cakes for the large most requested bottom 2 lol but at least she was fully aware that her cake is going to kind of mush together so the very moist cakes will give the very dry top tier a little bit of something lol
I love this channel 😂😂😂
"It's a way to get back at my stepmom, she wanted xyz"
Say no more
Can't fault that logic. XD
"Want people to say it's ugliest cake but it's gonna taste good!"
Omg, the reasoning! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would love to see photos!!! 😂
When the bride says 12 days and the baker looks like she wants to cry 😅
I mean she's got a reason why she wants all this
There’s something really soothing about your videos
Your acting is so good
“Revenge cake” is an aspirational level of pettiness.
I actually like the special meaning behind the silver duck topper. At least the ugly revenge cake has some personal meaning to the bride and groom
I really enjoy your channel!
I NEED to know the backstory behind this cake!
I wish you could show us a picture of the finished cake! 😂😂
Maybe should have brought in the would-be groom to make the cake's structural support since he's in construction.
LOL. 😂😂😂😂
Honestly, all I'd need is the back story to this family and I'd make this cake the absolute priority 😂
More comedy skits need include the part where they schedule the meeting that the skit will take place during
"It's gonna be ugly and tasteless. Just like my step-mom"
This is a perfect example of the full quote, "The customer is always right, in matters of taste". I've made numerous things for people that I thought were hideous but they absolutely loved. 12 days had better come with a significant rush fee, though.
There’s 0 icing and almost 0 decorations 😅 12 days doesn’t feel like a rush for this particular cake unless she’s stacked with orders….😭
Aside from the time frame required to bake the cake, I respect every choice this person made. Spite is a hell of a drug.
Respectable choice
Cake? There's the cake!
We need part 2 😂
Honestly what a queen
The customer is always right, in matters of taste.
This is why we ask questions in a SPECIFIC order and use multiple choice sections
After she explained, I understand her reasoning and support her decisions 100%. 😂😂😂
I am worried about the soggy cakes on bottom causing a collapse! I wonder if the baker could have suggested a small 3 tier "ugly" cake and then made sheet versions of the ginger and dulce de Leche and served those to the guests?
I needed photos!!!!
I need to see this cake. Show us the cake 😂
i actually sort of love the whole vibe of that one. it's wholesome and highly personal, with the silver duck and the color theme that makes Them happy. and while a pretty cake can be a piece of art, at the end of the day the main purpose is for it to taste good. so i like that she prioritizes that. But i wish she had some icing somewhere, dry cake is just really lacking something. i get not wanting fondant though. but just a block of cake ?
I like the customer. I would be internally laughing my ass off.
Lov your vids
Please for all that is holy. Is there a picture of this cake?
At least she knows what she wants lmao
That's one joyless wedding... 😮
Funny that she's a construction worker's fiance but doesn't like anything structurally sound at all
I desperately need a visual representation of this cake.
If that was real and you actually did it, you are an angel Alice💗🖐️
I need to see the cake!!!
i need cake pics!!
I can forgive anything except the lack of cream cheese frosting on a red velvet cake.
They say don't play No Children, by The Mountain Goats at your wedding. But I could see this one being an exception.
The customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE ONLY.
I feel like I really need pictures of the final result of the cake! 😂😂😂
