the only thing that bugs me is the 5 star did not use the existing bee details either. they half covered them so they may as well not have been there either
This week's video left me with more questions than answers: 1. Does Raphael use the same 1star and 5star bakery for every video? 1a. How many 1star bakeries are there in London? 1b. Who has determined the star ratings of these bakeries? 1c. How long does it take from order to delivery of the cakes? 2. Have any of the past bakeries responded to these videos? 3. What does a bakery say when you bring your own baking tin? 4. Which illnesses require specifically abstaining from cake? 5. Does Raphael dress to match his kitchen or does he light the kitchen to match his outfits?
I can help with 4, pretty much any illness where your immune system is fighting against the bacteria, virus, etc. Sweets like cakes contain immune suppressing fats and sugars so they weaken the immune system which will keep you sick longer! Best to avoid for any illness really :)
@@adriannanosal6358 you're right, it probably won't affect his illness but it's only for one video so I don't think it's too big a request to let the cameraman do the taste test, I've seen some other comments really mad he didn't taste it which seems silly to me as it was just one time
Maybe you can try a blind rating, meaning a guest or you rate a cake without knowing which one was made by the five star versus the one star bakery. The blind aspect will give each bakery a fair chance, too, as they come in from scratch or zero on expectations. That would also be really interesting.
It'd need someone else helping, otherwise he'll know which is from which place. But yes, I agree. Not that pronounced in this video, but he does have a bias in some cases.
The one Star cake looks like they messed the original cake up put them somehow together with the cream and then covered it up. Like a "repaired" cake fail.
You can tell that they DID use the cake tin with the one star, but obviously botched it up putting it together/cooking it, because you can see the outline under the icing from the side view.
I think the one star bakery just sliced the cake and put icing on it, saw it lost the original shape and tried to cover it up, like, you can still see the little front door
Rapha I would die for that tin. I am a biology major specializing in ecology so I have a special place in my heart for bees, and I also just so happen to love baking. Basically my new goal is to have a beehive cake for my next birthday.
@@mckennamoorse29 yeah he is such a sweetie 🥺💞 I was watching his videos when I was in a deep depression and somehow he always made and makes me smile🥺
As a pastry chef and cake decorator, if someone sent me a tin like that I’d say no): I can make a much more beautiful cake by sculpting it from a round cake
I thought my Phone was broken or something like that so I turn off and on my Phone to see if it was me, now I see in the comments is the video, but you can use headphones to listen to it just right
It looks like the 1 star bakery used the cake tin but added a layer on the bottom. They did such a good job. If they had made the bees yellow and black, it would have been perfect
Execution aside, both decorators were INSPIRED. Neither just simply followed the guidelines of the pan. I wonder what it would look like if iced along the pattern, like a colouring book Credit to the 5* who saw the beauty of the original design and embellished it instead of icing it over
Can you please do a 1 Star vs 5 star review on a pirate ship cake , my nephew and I love watching you and he’s obsessed with pirates , it would be much appreciated 👐💕
Yessss that’s why I went to the comments to see if anyone thought the same 8 turned it all the was up and it go’s from sounding low to high and it’s annoying lol
Hey Raphael! i just wanted to let you know that you have made my life so much brighter. i've been watching your videos for about a couple years now and me and my sister rlly bond over them. you make us laugh so hard our stomachs hurt! 😂I watch your videos at my worst and my best and you always make me feel better. you're my motivation to keep smiling. you saved my life so many times
Just a reminder for people that complain about cake decorators. For me that’s my job but I am in a grocery store bakery and they give us what we use and don’t always have access to tools we need
When a cake is burn on the outside and still wet on the inside, you have to set the degrees from the oven (next time) lower, and than let the cake also a little bit longer in it! ❤
Most people don’t realize that they are not creaming butter and sugar long enough by a long shot! A minimum of two minutes (WITH a mixer) is necessary to attain the reaction you need.
I think the first star bakery may have stacked the mold cake ontop of another circualr cake to make it taller, which would explain why the "Door" is up in the air
That tin's shape looks like it needs a non-standard mix. Something really fluffy so it cooks through without burning on the edges. Bunt pans have holes in the middle for a reason. :/
@@lyssagames4311 Yes! I suggested apricot jelly/jam in another comment thread because that would give the right color for the theme (assuming you don't hate apricots). Freeze it and you'd either get a bit of lava cake action or it would dissolve completely into the sponge and leave a void in the middle so it could be filled depending on the thickness of the preserves. Too much would make the cake too wet though, and the shape is SO chunky! I kept thinking of a clean empty can but was worried that would transfer too much heat. A ramekin would be a great middle-ground or compliment to the filling idea! The other suggestion I had was putting a shaped piece of cake in it - perhaps chocolate or colored hexagons of pre-baked cake - as that would both take up the space needed to prevent what he experienced in his attempt and give a really neat design inside. I've only seen that done on cooking shows though and have never done it personally.
It looks like they used the cake tin but when they tried to release the cake from it it broke up into pieces and they used frosting the hold it together so that made the cake bigger
Look at the top part of the 1 star cake, you can tell they used your mold but it looks like maybe it broke a bit so they made what they made to try and save it and added a TON of other kinds of cake to the bottom
Glad to see everyone else’s audio sounds like it was recorded with a microwave 👌🏼
It is so wired when u have like an iPhone xr😭
Same here!!! It’s rlly weird
For real?! That makes me so happy I was like oh great my phones sound is taking a shit
Alexandra Lewer, good thing it wasn’t you phone sounds instead it was the video
I thought it was my phone
the only thing that bugs me is the 5 star did not use the existing bee details either. they half covered them so they may as well not have been there either

@@anmolbains6450 it's quite far fetched though... seriously he cant have 2 bites of cake?

*I KEPT REPEATEDLY HITTING MY PHONE FOR A GOOD MINUTE THINKING MY PHONE HAD WATER OR SOMETHIN' AND THEN I SAW THE COMMENTS.... PHEW.*
I was so confused about what others were saying.
With earphones its fine
@@bananasareblue5619 U just helped me. Thnx
Anyone having audio issues, try using earphones. It worked for me!
Ahhhhhhh thank youuuu♥️♥️♥️
Ahh thank you! I was so confused
Tysmmmmm
Thank you 😊
Same
Those bakeries are probably so tired of him by now lol
Finally a normal comment!
He says is a lot of these it's different bakeries
Well... He's a paying customer. For bakeries which don't have backlog, he might be a blessing.
Does anyone else's audio sound like when you don't completely plug in your headphones like they're only like halfway in? 🙃
Yes
No
Nope lol
I died a little bit inside when I saw the bug just crawling on the cake LMAO

These are cakes that *Winnie The Pooh* wants
The audio was quiet and sounded like the mic was in the other room on my TV, but now on my phone it's fine which makes me think it might be UA-cam??
Ya something seems wrong about the audio 🤷♀️
The one Star cake looks like they messed the original cake up put them somehow together with the cream and then covered it up. Like a "repaired" cake fail.

“I just got the chills as if theres bugs on my cake”
“Oh wait there is one”
I think the one star bakery just sliced the cake and put icing on it, saw it lost the original shape and tried to cover it up, like, you can still see the little front door
...I am still worried about the bug on the second cake that was already in the box
SAMEE
everyones talking about the audio BUT THE BUGG
It's giving me baby "roach" and not just a bug that got in there 👀
Rapha I would die for that tin. I am a biology major specializing in ecology so I have a special place in my heart for bees, and I also just so happen to love baking. Basically my new goal is to have a beehive cake for my next birthday.
For the one star cake Looks like the added a flat round cake on the bottom to make the cake bigger..looks like they used the tin up top
The five star cake looks absolutely beautiful but I imagine it’d be very dry due to the lack of frosting
Both genuinely look really good. I can see the effort. So I would base it on the taste
I literally just binge watched your videos this whole week........ Soooooo......
Me too! I'm trying to watch them all
@@mckennamoorse29 I actually did watch ALL of his videos last year
@@Nastya-ko9xi that's so cool! I've been watching them constantly and getting closer to finishing everyday. He's just so amazing
Same🙂
@@mckennamoorse29 yeah he is such a sweetie 🥺💞 I was watching his videos when I was in a deep depression and somehow he always made and makes me smile🥺
What happened to the sound? It's like a robot 🤖
i thought my phone had a problem
i felt the same hahahahha what happened haha
I thought my speaker was spoilt lmaoo
In headphones it's absolutely fine!
I thought my phone had a problem
BRO I THOUGHT I BROKE MY PHONE IM SOO GLAD I DIDN'T.
As a pastry chef and cake decorator, if someone sent me a tin like that I’d say no): I can make a much more beautiful cake by sculpting it from a round cake
I mean id suggest it but if its what they want its what they want.
For a second I thought there was something wrong with my phone
same, I could only hear my audio form one side.
Something is wrong with the audio though
I thought it was a problem with my phone
I thought my Phone was broken or something like that so I turn off and on my Phone to see if it was me, now I see in the comments is the video, but you can use headphones to listen to it just right
The 1 star did use the cake tin. Because I see some of the design on one of the sides. They added layers of filling.
It looks like the 1 star bakery used the cake tin but added a layer on the bottom. They did such a good job. If they had made the bees yellow and black, it would have been perfect
I think both the bakery’s added too many bees because it felt over crowded
I am so confused the audio is perfectly fine for me. what are yall talking about???
@Ali Mumgamer my audio is fine too
Execution aside, both decorators were INSPIRED. Neither just simply followed the guidelines of the pan. I wonder what it would look like if iced along the pattern, like a colouring book
Credit to the 5* who saw the beauty of the original design and embellished it instead of icing it over
The one star cake place used the tin but put a cake under the cake that was in the tin. That’s why it’s so much taller.
OKAYYY IMAOO I THOUGHT MY SOUND WAS ONLY ONE OFF IM SO GLAD I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY
I hate it solo much
Im glad to see other comments on the audio. I was panicking for a sec cuz i thought i had a bug in my ear 😳
I almost panic and thought i ruin my phones speakers. Had to double check with another youtube video
bruh why everyone talking about the audio, just appreciate the damn video n how hard he worked making it
There is a problem in the sound at first i thought there was something wrong with my phone
If you don’t want the cake to be burnt but still baked thoroughly, just put tin foil on top of the cake. Trust me it works
I second this 🙋
Nothing's wrong with my audio; idk why people are having issues with it. Sounds normal to me
I absolutely adore the 1 star cake!! They did such an adorable job! The 5 star is good too but I like the 1 star more
*I THOUGHT MY PHONE WAS BROKEN OMG PHEW*
to everyone saying that the audio sucks: use earphones or a headset and it will sound normal again :)
Nope :(
Every single comment is talking about the audio, but I wanna talk about the bug that crawled all over the cake?????
Yeah no one talked about that
on the one star I think they used the tin and added an extra layer. Like they baked a seperate round and shaped it.
my one ear: 🔇👂⁉️🔕
my other ear: 🔊👁🗨👂👁🗨‼️
Lol
was the audio weird to anyone else?
Wear headphones it sounds normal with them
Yes
Oh thank God I thought I was going crazy
But where the fusk is the microphone
the sound is ✨ crunchy ✨
I love that you're baking, whilst sitting in a computer chair. That is the ultimate form of laziness and I'm here for it. 🤣
Ņ
Can you please do a 1 Star vs 5 star review on a pirate ship cake , my nephew and I love watching you and he’s obsessed with pirates , it would be much appreciated 👐💕
why does it sound like he under water
Yeah it is not his normal voice
“The bees are smiling hahaha, why are they smiling?”
You said that in the most wholesome way 😂
anybody else wondering what's going on with the audio???
Yesss
I recently got a new phone and thought it was messing up already. This comment provided so much relief lol 😅
@@pimpdaddyneesha same😂
Yessss that’s why I went to the comments to see if anyone thought the same 8 turned it all the was up and it go’s from sounding low to high and it’s annoying lol
IT'S NOT EVEN THAT BAD-
Did you also use the cake tin for the audio?
I was tripping hard thinking I was going deaf in this
Just a couple hints: 1) don’t fill pan too full. 2) place a piece of wax paper on top of batter to get it to rise evenly.
I don't hear anything wrong with the audio..
There is a slight issue, it suddenly went low
Same
Never heard any of this xx
jan whitby I heard some around the 2:00 to 2:35 area soo🤷🏻♂️ also update around the 7:00 area too🤷🏻♂️
I thought my phone was broken from the first second
Idk what's the problem with the audio, cause my audio is fine.
apparently everybody uses their phone speakerñ which is kinda wack but if you use headphones its fine (or earbuds)
The sound of this video was too quiet for me. Was this the case for anyone else?
His vibe is so relatable, cute and so refreshing.
you should send the same requests to two different 5-star bakeries and compare them to each other.
I can't hear anything, the audio is horrible:l
Use headphones :)
Im sorry but i think that's just you try headphones
@@bluemoon9352 And if I dont have one?
Xylophone uad it’s still was bad for me I had AirPods In but the audio was still trash
@@xylophoneuad9298 then... im not sure what to do sorry
I thought my phone was wack then I went to the comments
Hey Raphael! i just wanted to let you know that you have made my life so much brighter. i've been watching your videos for about a couple years now and me and my sister rlly bond over them. you make us laugh so hard our stomachs hurt! 😂I watch your videos at my worst and my best and you always make me feel better. you're my motivation to keep smiling. you saved my life so many times
and here you can tell who used earphones and who didn't lol
Just a reminder for people that complain about cake decorators. For me that’s my job but I am in a grocery store bakery and they give us what we use and don’t always have access to tools we need
Respect you for your genuinity. 😊
I have the same job but i deliver them this is actually true
I literally got in trouble at Walmart for bringing in my own piping tips because we had...
One tip. That was all.
We ain’t cake boss!
im glad im not the only one that hears the sound is weird 🤣
When a cake is burn on the outside and still wet on the inside, you have to set the degrees from the oven (next time) lower, and than let the cake also a little bit longer in it! ❤
Lol do you use the same bakeries ? I bet they’re like damn this guy really loves cake
I panicked the moment the video played bc the audio is messed up thank god it was only bc of the video
I got so scared my phone was messed up😂😭should’ve seen my face
am I the only one with a problem with the volume of the video? I'm having to up the volume so mu h to hear anything 🤔
Samael WL your not the only one
Most people don’t realize that they are not creaming butter and sugar long enough by a long shot!
A minimum of two minutes (WITH a mixer) is necessary to attain the reaction you need.
the audio made me think something was wrong w my laptop-
same lolll
What's with the audio bro ?
For whoever having the sound problem try watching this with using earphone.
Tnx
I actually liked the 1 star cake. It was adorable.
What is wrong with the sound 😐
He sounds possessed
Same I though it was just my phone
In this video someone wrong with your audio
they used the cake tin but added a round cake tin to the bottom hence why the cake looks big
Raphael: I gotta cream the butter and the sugar!
Also Raphael: *stirs it with a spoon*
I thought my ears were broken 😫👌
*Is it just me or is the audio a bit wobbly ._.*
*its kinda messing with my ears-*
I thought it was my phone!
Wait I just now posted this on here how do I have a comment and 3 likes already-
I thought it was my phone too .0.

Me squinting my eyes in the hope that it somehow helps with hearing the video 😂
Use ya headphones
@@julichristine4583 I shall! I watched the whole video with that sound lol but I liked the cake tin
@@sotiriaguzman4841 me too the cake tin looks soo cute
Idk if anyone told you this already but in you put your pan in water it'll help cook the center. Learned that in culinary
Guys the audio isn't even that bad tf are you guys complaining about- just chill it's not even bad
I know, I didn’t even know there was anything wrong
i just finished the video and i didnt notice anything until i read the comments.. and i still dont hear any problems
The audio is bothering me
same I really thought that my speaker or laptop broke
How does he come up with this. It’s so entertaining
I think the first star bakery may have stacked the mold cake ontop of another circualr cake to make it taller, which would explain why the "Door" is up in the air
Omg this video made me scared because I purchased a new iPhone 7 plus and I tough the speaker was broken. 😂
You scared me that my phone speaker was broken 😂
Same, I actually restarted my phone
@@RachelleHuizinga😂😂
@@RachelleHuizinga I dropped my phone just before playing the video, and my heart just sank when I thought it was broken
Everyone is complaining about the audio, mine is perfectly fine.
Well that's not fair :(
Same.
Same I have it on three bars and I had to turn it down cuz to load
Why would any one wanna dislike a video of such a nice and innocent person
That tin's shape looks like it needs a non-standard mix. Something really fluffy so it cooks through without burning on the edges. Bunt pans have holes in the middle for a reason. :/
Ah! It would probably be a good idea to put a ramekin in the middle and maybe give the cake a filling so it cooks evenly?
@@lyssagames4311 Yes! I suggested apricot jelly/jam in another comment thread because that would give the right color for the theme (assuming you don't hate apricots). Freeze it and you'd either get a bit of lava cake action or it would dissolve completely into the sponge and leave a void in the middle so it could be filled depending on the thickness of the preserves. Too much would make the cake too wet though, and the shape is SO chunky! I kept thinking of a clean empty can but was worried that would transfer too much heat. A ramekin would be a great middle-ground or compliment to the filling idea!

Apart from the ant crawling all over the cake, I'd give 5 stars to 1 star bakery. I love how that cake looks 😍
Edited: BEFORE you cut it 😂😂😂
Idk if it’s just me but the audios kind of off in this video
It looks like they used the cake tin but when they tried to release the cake from it it broke up into pieces and they used frosting the hold it together so that made the cake bigger
What’s up with the audio quality for the video.
Thought there was something wrong with my phone’s speaker I had to exit and play something on spotify to check & see
Same hahahahha
Omg same
The audio is definetly weird like really really bad and weird😂
I thought it was my phone 😅
@@EleniBelle thought so too until i watched his other vids😂
Sounds like audio from 2005
Look at the top part of the 1 star cake, you can tell they used your mold but it looks like maybe it broke a bit so they made what they made to try and save it and added a TON of other kinds of cake to the bottom
