Disappointed with MY Professional Wedding Cake I ORDERED so I Remade It| Collab w/@Janie's Sweets
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Years ago, I ordered my wedding cake from a fancy professional downtown bakery. Long story short, I was disappointed with the product (though I never actually voiced these complaints!). It's the one thing about my wedding that I wasn't super happy with and I've always lamented that I didn't just make my own cake (though to be fair I was not capable of making cakes like the cake I envisioned in my head). So today I am remaking it and walking you through the whole process!
@JaniesSweets also had a similar experience with her wedding cake, but you'll have to head to her channel to see how hers turned out: / @janiessweets

I’m so glad we were able to do this collab ❤️ your cake turned out 💯 better for sure 😝
Thanks, Janie 🥰💕 If only I knew back then what I know how to do now!! It was a pleasure collabing with you. Grateful that you helped me walk through the whole process of working with another UA-camr! 🍰
Wow! Your cake looks 1000Xs better! Sharp clean edges! Pretty gold tiers! I personally don't think she should of delivered a cake looking like that!!!
Aw thank you! It was a bit of a “different time” for cakes. Getting away with this quality was kind of the norm-things have come a LONG way since then
Wow $750.00 for a cake 😱. I would literally cry as am paying it lol. I could never spend that much on that. If I had a richer bank account then maybe but wow. Am blown away by how expensive it is. Am sorry u had to spend that much 😢. Especially right now in this Covid time. Anyways the cake looks lovely girl 💕. I love how u did the decorations so neatly. I loved the collab ! 😌
Our wedding was luckily years ago so it was this huge affair!! Think something like the movie “Crazy Rich Asians” almost. I really wouldn’t have mind paying that price IF the quality had matched, but years later looking at pics it’s the one thing about my wedding that just didn’t look right for sure! Thanks for watching 💕🥰
Richer bank account coming soon sis 😍🥰❤️
@@Beiingserena Thanks sis 😁. Enjoy your day !
What a disappointment to open that cake box on your wedding day. No matter what is paid but definitely the price tag makes it worse
Girl the starting price of a 3 layer wedding cake is $350. And that’s a plain cake without fancy decor and flavors. AND it’s only like 70 servings
When my son and DIL got married her mom made the wedding cake, actually I think two separate cakes because DIL was having problems with gluten. But her mom did not only music notes on the cake like you did, only on the sides of the cake and it was a REAL tune with words that was significant to them. 10 years hard to remember it all but what a great job she did and made the dress as well! The whole wedding was homemade. But I thought the music on the cake was amazing and I never heard of anyone else doing it until now.
I have two wedding cakes coming up in a few months, super excited. Do you have any videos that show how to get a pretty rose quart shimmer on buttercream? Also, any suggestions on what to use to stabilize the cake when stacking? in the past I've used dowels, but I"ve also seen these cake inserts that provide more stabilization .
Yay! So exciting! If you find a good airbrush colour that’s probably the best way for buttercream. If it were fondant I’d recommend some dusts that are so so beautiful. For stabilizing the cake I’ve always used dowels and make sure to have a large centre dowel that’s firmly inserted into a thick cake drum. Thick cake drums are the way to go for wedding cakes!!
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thank you so much
Does it really count if you can’t eat it through?
The first one was fake too with the exception of the top tier.
I love the music notes. I now want to do that. For me, I would pipe the notes in royal icing on parchment then add them to the bars after.
Ooo yes that would be a good plan!
Ioved how my wedding cake looked, but it was dry!! So disappointing. We did do taste tests, but I think they only gave us cupcakes. Your cake is gorgeous!
Aw yeah I’ve heard that as a common complaint!
That cake was horrible. That store owner need to over see the cakes that are leaving the door
Hoping that that was just an off moment for the bakery! They seemed to have disappeared though...
WoW you have only been youtubing for ONE year!!!???? I would of figured longer than that because you are such a natural behind the camera!! Happy Mother's Day to you!!!!
Yes! Since March of last year when the pandemic started--it's really the reason I started the channel in the first place. That is so sweet of you to say, Angela :). Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Your cake is beautiful! I’m going through a similar thing right now. I cannot afford even a $400 cake...and that’s mostly edible and only 3 tiers. So I’m making my own. No flowers, but I’m using copper foil on an inedible middle tier. My wedding is July 10th. Plus side- my mock cake turned out superb over the weekend!
Thank you! I think making your own wedding cake is super special. If I could go back and have the knowledge I have now I would do the same. I’m glad your mock cake turned out so well!!! 🥰💕
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe is there a way to do it a week early? I can bake and decorate, I’ve just never done anything as big as a wedding before.
I understand the redo, but in reality I think it's apples to oranges. Don't think you can really compare a cake made with dummies, to a real cake. There are no temperature change effects, which seems to have been a major issue with your actual cake. But then again, I may have not been made properly. ( filled, stacked, structured, transported). I can make a perfect cake with dummies. But to me this just wasn't realistic. Amd I definitely would not have charged $900 for the new one. Not enough detail. But I guess it may just be me. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️.
For clarity, the original cake was also a cake dummy too except for the top tier.
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe ok, now that's a TOTALLY different thing. Because from what I observed it wasn't just problems with the top tier. Gotchu. Thank you for clearing that up!!
For my wedding I ordered a simple white 3 tiered cake with a Tiffany blue ribbon, a silver brooch type detail, & a white monogram accent. I gave a picture of the completely editable cake to the baker. She said she could do it no prob. I expected my cake to be the same. What I got was a tiffany blue satin ribbon vs fondant in my pic. The pic had silver accent made from silver editable beads, etc. What I got was a very cheap looking metal brooch. The fondant on the cake was so thick. Thank goodness it tasted divine. I was very disappointed by the poor design shortcuts esp since the price tag was $500..
I'm glad it was at least still delicious!!
IMHO I don't think it's a fair comparison covering dummy cakes v real cake
For clarification, the original was also a dummy cake with the exception of the top tier.
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe was it not the finish on the top tier in particular you we'rent happy with you said though?
Gorgeous! What kind of glue do you use for the flowers? I made my daughter’s wedding cake and it was very first time using it and first time making flowers.. let’s just say I bought some pre-made just in case and frosting covers oopsies..
I want to know how much it Cost you to make. Not what you'd charge someone. If someone had the main tools already what does it cost in Raw materials? Fondant, colourant, ribbon, etc. Cost for someone to make at home once they invest not labour/expertise. I understand if you don't want to say but that's what I wanted to know and you didn't answer that question.
I would venture somewhere in the ballpark of $80 if I had to guesstimate!
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe Thanks for the reply! Very helpful thanks.
Elephant skin is caused by a number of things. Maybe you have not kneeded the fondant enough before rolling the fondant. Sometimes it may be because you have used too much powedered sugar whilst rolling the fondant and it has caused the fondant to dry out. It also can happen if you take too long to add the rolled fondant to the cake it can dry out. Trying to smooth fondant that has dried a little will cause the wrinkles and tears in fondant.
In all fairness to the original professional cake, is that your’s or the second , was not a REAL cake like the first ?
Only the top tier of the original was real. All the other tiers were fake.
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe
Really? Well then there is no excuse for them. Your’s is SO MUCH better! 👍🏻
@@TeresaAngelena aw thank you! I will say it was a “different time” for cakes. In the past few years the level of talent out there has really skyrocketed!
$750 for a fake cake? Woooooooo boy
2 of my favorite UA-camrs. Nice work on the cake! 😍
Thanks, Erica! 💕
The cake that you made was beautiful and 100% better than the purchased cake. I love your wedding flowers and you had so many off them. When I get married I want to use dark pink and yellow roses with accents of purple and green and white in my flowers.
Thank you! Our wedding flowers were my FAVOURITE part of the decor. That sounds like a beautiful colour combination!
So beautiful and it’s fake. Great job
I didn't know that you make fake cakes too!!!!
Can you show us your buttercream recipe plus I love your videos
I think it’s listed in quite a few of them; especially the earlier cake vids!
I would have gone ham if that was my wedding cake
😂😂
Wow,yrs is better damn that's bad hay ❤
Love the collab! Beautiful cakes!! 😍
🥰💕 thank you!!
WOW! OMG! so beautiful cakes decoration 😍 i hope i can practice your technique of decoration some cakes in my own kitchen😍😍
Thank you so much, Shena!! 🥰🍰
My gosh. I would have sent that cake back. The bought those flowers. As a cake decorator there is nothing more painful than to see such a bad wedding cake. I am so glad that you didn’t let it upset your day!❤️
Ooooo I never considered that they might’ve bought the sugar flowers. I’m happy that I wasn’t THAT into making cakes at the time or I think I would’ve stewed over it for sure! 🍰💕
I think your cake looks way better 😁
Thank you so much, Deniera! 💕🥰
You are beautiful
I have a question about putting fondant covered cakes in the fridge. You’re saying that it isn’t good to do that because of the cake sweating, but...what if the cake has a filling that should be refrigerated?
I actually don’t put things that need refrigeration for food safety inside fondant cakes just in case!
I always put my fondant cakes in the fridge
It just depends on the humidity of your fridge :)
One thing that Will help a bit of you must put out in the fridge. Place the cake in a cardboard box that is completely closed. It will help to keep the moisture off of the cake.
Nice cake my love.
How cool, I love her channel too. Great to see you guys together. 😊
It was fun! Thanks for watching, Marie :)
Your cake looks much better. I would get your money back
Beautiful have a question how do you change Styrofoam cake thank you
I break it apart and try and salvage it!!!
I love the collab!!!!
Thanks, Wanda!
I HATED my Wedding cake that I had ordered, I should have just made it myself. Now waiting for 10yr anniversary hahaha bring on 2028
Oh no!! So disappointing when that happens. Yes--you will get your dream cake then :)
What?! Please tell me you didn’t pay for that cake?!!!! It should have looked exactly like the one you did in this video. I’m sorry your cake wasn’t what you wanted on your big day.
Aw it’s alright-I wasn’t AS into cakes back then so it wasn’t as much of a let down as it could’ve been if it were now!
We bakers never get our dream wedding cake exactly as we want.. aren't we.. 🤣🤣 This reminded me of my wedding cake.. So.. my mom is the real cake maker and I was just helping her.. When planning my wedding, my mom wanted to do my wedding cake, my makeup and some other things by herself. She is an excellent designer but from experience, I knew she's gonna be exhausted by the day, so I enlisted two of her cake maker best friends and told them to do whatever they want, just make sure something is there for us to cut... Didn't even dared to think about a design I want.. ( And even without the cake, my mom was exhausted by the day and fall alseep at the reception .. 🤣 Moms.. 🤷)
Isn’t that the truth!! Love this story thanks for sharing
Yes I love both of you guys! So
Glad to see a collab!
She’s awesome!!
saludes desde Costa Rica
Thank you for sharing
Very nice
Did you put cmc or gum paste in fondant because you are putting flowers direct on cake
Waiting for your reply
Not this time! Just stuck them on 💕
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe ok thank you
You're Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Astha! 🥰💕
I would have beeb soooo pissed at that cake. Your's was totally better.
Aw thanks so much :)
8:59 Oooh ooh. Who's the cute guy on the right with the "No they're real. It's the sun..seriously. I surf a lot." highlights?
Hahaha!! My hubby is a cutie for sure
$900 for 3 foam tiers and one cake or all out of cake?! Just curious 🤗
Same for both!
muy lindo la decoración
wow i'm 22 and TIL wedding cakes arent completely edible
haha--to be fair, some of them are fully edible!
Beautiful ♥️ it!
You Tube just put your video in my recs and I've been binge watching you. Love you! And the joke is I don't bake, or eat sugar or flour! LOL! But I'm watching and loving anyway! Vicarious pleasure. :-)
Aw I love that!!! Truthfully I don’t eat much sugar either! 🥰
Your second cake turned out so beautiful I don't think I would have paid for the first one or at least ask for money back I'm so glad you colored this orchids they were waiting for so long during the video as afraid you weren't going to cover them all but the coloring was perfect great job now you have the commemorative of what your wedding cake should have been thank you for sharing and keep on caking
Thanks, Lorraine! Yes, almost dug out my wedding dress to retake a pic 🤣
I will say I don’t know if it’s much of more of a comparison just because cake texture and the foam texture that you used are quite different. To me they look similar as far as the texture not looking smooth but this is cute
To clarify, it's a fake cake for the actual wedding cake I received too; just the top tier was real.
People who don’t know how to work with fondant covered cakes just shouldn’t sell them until they learn the proper skills. To me it looked like they had a very think buttercream layer under and didn’t freeze it or let it crust over. You get better edges if you freeze the cake first before you put the fondant on. It will be smoother.
Love your cake so much better!! Yours is gorgeous!
Aw thank you so much, Kathy!
What's the difference between satin ice fondant and the regular fondant?
Oh it’s just a brand of fondant that I like to use 🥰
I saw this idea on Janie’s IG and thought it was awesome. So I’m planning on redoing my wedding cake for our 10 year anniversary on October 😊
Question: are the music notes arbitrary? Or is it actually to a song?
Yeah! We came up with the idea together. So fun. She’s fantastic. Looking forward to seeing it if you’ll share! And yes-I transcribed real music haha which is why my laptop was open. Bonus marks if anyone can guess the song 😂
Another great creation! 😍😍
Thank you, Leeanne! 🥰💕🍰
Yey iv been looking forward to this video I just no your Guna do a much better job can’t wait to see the end result Xxx
🍰💕
Fantastic job 🤩
How many millimetres thick do you make the fondant for coating the cake?
Hmmm that’s a tough question (I’m terrible with measurements!! Haha); I would venture around 3-5 mm I would say!
Ive only made 2 or 3 cakes, just got engaged and planning on baking my wedding cake. 😂😂😂
Go for it!
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe thank you, ❤️
Wow your channel is awesome! I just found it yesterday but I already love it! New suscriber
Thanks so much, Emilia! 🥰
Is the ribbon edible too, or just decoration?
Just decoration 🥰
You both are so cute you looks like Lisa Ling Janie looks like Kim Cole's.Congratulations on each of your 🍰 cake businesses.
She’s a beauty 💕💕 thank you!
👏👏👏
:):)
Can u do a video on how to make whip cream plzz??
I just whip my heavy whipping cream! I should do a video regarding stabilizer though
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe yes plzzz... with all the explanation plzzz...
I like your hair colour
Thanks, Laurie! I’ve got to get it redone-so hard to maintain it!
Lindisimo trabajo. Gracias por enseñarnos.
🥰
The cake you recreated is beautiful
Thanks so much, Dana! 🥰
Omg 😱definitely a big difference
🥰💕
Did you get a discount on your original cake?
No discount :(
The cake you made was a 1000% nicer than the one you had at your wedding.
Now that is what you should of got lol so much more professional well done Xx
Aw thank you so much, Laura!! 🥰💕
@@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe no problem all your cakes are professional your an amazing cake maker ☺️
It's bad luck to make your own wedding cake. my cousin made mine, and that's what she said. I've been married for 25 years and counting.. my cake cost only 10.00 to make from scratch. Red velvet
Beautiful
Thank you!
Super👏
Thank you!!! 💕🥰
How many tiers in your original cake were real?
Just the top tier was real! The rest were fake.
$700 for one real tier?!? That’s insane, and they definitely weren’t up to par on the decorating, for that price.
@@DawgzMom they can easily dupe u. About 20 yrs ago at aunt's wedding we found out that all three tiers were fake. She paid 300 dollars which is pretty high for a cake in my country. My grandma was supposed to make her wedding cake but she passed away three weeks before my aunt's wedding from cancer. Imagine the horror of seeing no cake and the moment was ruined as well. It is not that difficult to make all three tiers with cake. Maybe it will b a bit misshaped but a lot of money for cardboard is daylight robbery.
Oh my!!!! Yes yall 2!! 🙌
🍰🍰💕
Ah 2 of my fave cake youtubers 💜💜
🥰🥰 she’s awesome!!!
I’m super excited to be this early to your video 😄
Discovered Janie’s Sweets a short while back and it was great to see that she offers sound business advice like you do. You two are great!
She’s awesome for sure!! 🥰💕
Wow. So much better than first cake. Beautiful.
Aw thank you so much, Maureen! 💕🥰
