“If u can mess up making a box cake mix, its not you, it’s the cake mix”
PREACH
That made me feel 10x times better about myself.
Well anunciou of people can do it, so maybe it’s you hahahaha
I've messed up jello before 😂😂 wish I could say that it was the mix
“This is actually really good! I give it an” [echoing] “F!!!!!”

@@yueyue7514 🤣🤣me too
"I pretend to be sophisticated, but im really garbage"
I WANT MORE OF HIM
I was literally thinking the same thing! Haha
Saaaaame! I loved him!
"It's a chocolate cake guys, how could it be bad?" MEEEEE I WANT MORE OF HIM HE'S MY HOME SLICE...
OF CAKE...
When he said that was the moment I knew I needed more dessert reviews by him lol
ME
“It’s just a vehicle to get cream cheese frosting into my mouth.”
Big mood
I don't even understand why everyone has to have cream cheese frosting with red velvet cake-I HATE cream cheese so I'd just use vanilla frosting with the cake
Yaaad
... And I'm okay with that!! 😄
MooOOoOd
This is why I love this guy. I feel like he gets me on a spiritual level
Way less unnecessarily snobby than the regular people they have doing food reviews. Ten stars.
@Cut13K1m20 _ 5
@Cut13K1m20 _ 5
They should give him one of his cakes and tell him it’s a box mix. Lol I think he would give still give it 2.5 stars
I thought he was kinda snobby, actually.
How are the other chefs in the buzzfeed videos of ____ chef reviews _______ snobby?
I really liked this guy. He's a pastry chef, but he didn't come across like he's better than everyone else. And I liked that his reviews were honest; he admitted that sometimes he just wants a simple, easy cake and he knows that not everyone can just make desserts from scratch and that there is no shame in that.
Stephanie102684 has
Stephanie102684 why would he?
Greyson Wayne Why would he come across like he's better than everyone? Because that's how chefs are a lot of the time.
Stephanie102684 yeah
He's also on a show on The Cooking Channel called Unique Sweets, I know it's going to be a good episode if I see Zac in the opening credits
*”I pretend to be sophisticated, but um,”*
*camera zooms in*
*”I’m really garbage.”*
I'd like to see him do a blind taste testing without knowing what's boxed
look I grew up in a scratch-only house and it is actually kind of alarming how we can identify food dye COLORS by how they taste. Real vanilla, fake vanilla is much easier. It would be really funny to get a panel of cake and non-cake chefs/bakers and see who knows whats up tho ;)
Sugar Cookies
I also love scratch MUCH more. When I was like seven, my aunt introduced me to scratch baking and I’ve been hooked for my “long” life of 16 yrs 😂
So I meant to like it but the like count was 666 and I didn’t wanna ruin it 🙂🙂 so consider me 667
@@allnighter50 LOL 👹
I make both. It's not hard at all to ID a box cake vs a scratch cake. And I'm no professional.
“I pretend to be sophisticated but I’m really garbage.”
A life motto.
*Just a vehicle to get cream cheese frosting into my mouth*
Iconic words.
Calli Shae It was well put I liked that
Those words deserve to be chiseled in marble.
Its so true though
@@michaelbracken5049 who doesn't ?
“Trying very hard. But just didn’t live up to its potential” MEEEEEEEEEE

pakistan?

Anyone else read this in Shane Dawson's voice??
“I pretend to be sophisticated, but...um...I’m really garbage”
He should have his own baking show 👏🏽 if he doesn’t already ☺️
DearMakeUpDiary he’s on this one show on the cooking channel that talks about all these dessert places, I forget what it’s called 😩
He’s been a guest judge/star on multiple baking shows on food network! Don’t think he has his own show though ☹️
@@emilygustafson8119 Thanks for the info! :)
@@TheVivaLaSpice Thanks for commenting! :)
@@dearmakeupdiary He was on Nailed It, a parody baking show on Netflix.
All the cakes should have been the same flavor.
Ms.Strawberrywine1977 That makes more sense. 👍🏼
Why? All he is doing is rating cake mix, he isn't comparing different brands.
The title implies that a pastry chef would tell us what is the BEST n worst box with his expertise.
@@MrStrawberrywine1977
review
to consider something in order to make changes in it, study it, or give an opinion about it:
The title implies nothing of the sort, it says reviews not compares.
Then Review all the same flavor so I know what box is best to buy!
This guy’s got a PERSONALITY👌
ViolinGirl so many likes and no comments- I fixed that
Whats that ive never heard of that flavor
Shes gay and im living for it tbh
ViolinGirl he also said hes a garbage
ViolinGirl he's more interesting to listen than most youtubers TBH
"This cake was trying really hard but it just didn't live up to its potentials."
I never knew I was a cake.
Daisuke Yūgure me either
Daisuke Yūgure me
Brilliant
Daisuke Yūgure dem
I guess I'm a cake too then 😂
I love chefs who can critique without being snobby. This guy was awesome, more of him.
Loraine Spencer And i didn’t.
@@ghost_cities I think I got that from when he says, "I pretend to be sophisticated but I'm really garbage." I'm not sure if he's talking about the cake or himself that he likes cheap Halloween candy, but I was kind of surprised it related to the chocolate cake. I think those are usually the best boxed cake mixes compared to the others. Sorry for my negative reaction, I'm going to delete it.
Loraine Spencer I think that he meant that he secretly likes the taste, although he’s supposed to be a professional pastry chef. It was a light hearted joke to relate himself more to the audience.
“This cake makes me feel at home, it reminds me of all my childhood memories, it brings me so much happiness and really makes me feel good inside - ONE STAR”
"I pretend to be sophisticated but I'm really garbage" and that's when I knew I liked him.
More of him please.
ik he's great 😂😂😂
Hes gay you idiots
what is wrong with that?
God damn 2018 full of sheeps
And closed minded individuals like yourself :)
I NEED HIM TO REVIEW EVERYTHING NOW THANK U
dilemma may
And is that REALLY too much to ask for?!?!
NEXT
Hope he got UA-cam
Proud for being your one thousandth like
They still give him a slice of one of his cakes and tell him it’s a cake mix. Lol I think he would still give it 2.5 stars
I love this guy. Natural comedic timing, I bet his kitchen is a riot.
She's a *thicc* cake
I SURE AM!!!!!!!!
Night Angel you're not a cake
Sure I am!
thicc is always best
Night Angel u r??
I thought he was going to be pretentious and annoying, but he was actually the opposite! Fair reviews.
nickkingofearth exactly what I was going to say!!
nickkingofearth he was on Netflix's nailed it!!
nickkingofearth I like watching him on Unique Sweets. They show some interesting stuff on there. And the chefs are all fun to watch.
nickkingofearth you just described all liberal mainstream media
Lil Uzi Vert he’s gay... he can’t be a fuckboi. A thirst trap maybe. But not a fuckboi.
My sister in law sells cakes to locals and claims to be a pastry chef but she uses boxed cake mix and has never made anything homemade in her life. She decorates well, that's it.. she's a decent artist with store bought fondant. Meanwhile, I make everything by hand but my cakes just look like cake. People say that the things I bake are delicious but they oooh and aaah over her decorations. If I could stand working with her I'd suggest a partnership. 😂
You should take a cake decorating class and buy some piping tips and practice..soon you will be better than her
That’s too funny. A lot of bakeries actually use mixes for consistency. They may add more ingredients to make it appear homemade. I’ve been able to fool people by adding more eggs, pudding and a good quality vanilla. I’m also not claiming to be a pastry chef though. Haha!
I know a lot of people who do this. They get a big ego and even lie about their professional background, or lack thereof. They might watch some baking videos or take a free decorating class, then think they could totally be a professional baker or pastry chef, without the training.
They don't even make their own fondant nor even know what marzipan is, so it's the straight up nasty fondant.
But, if people want to pay a lot of money for nasty cake, that's on them.
There was a woman on reddit that owned up to that a few years ago. She could decorate with the best of them, but used boxed cake. After spilling her secret she took some time and now makes everything from scratch.
happybunnyntx I checked the comments on this just to see if anyone else would mention that. I immediately thought of that reddit post.
Wow, Katya's side gig as a pastry chef looks fun.
IM GAGGING
Omg...
Yaaaas kweeeen!
SHDHSJSSS YASS HUNTY
How did you read my mind like as I was forming the thought omg
"It's a chocolate cake guys. How can it be bad?"
Words to live by
willynilly91 I hate chocolate so I would of hated that cake.
willynilly91 I fully agree with you and him. Chocolate Cake is one of my favorite cakes.
briansivley2001
To me, chocolate cake is like pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still good.
willynilly91 I only eat cake without anyone convincing me if it's chocolate!
ive had too many dry, weak chocolate tasting chocolate cakes to agree to that statement
"If you can mess up making a box cake mix, it's not you...it's the cake mix" HA Take that Linda
Rebma Yeahright 😂 exactly. Rule of thumb always sift dry ingredients twice. Add wet ingredients in a measuring jug. If using whisked egg white always fold it into the dry ingredients make cake extra fluffy. If beat in make it dense as bread lol.
Who's Linda? And what did she do?
sweetie who hurt u
linda did
Feliciana Vargas it’s a joke
This guy throws shade in the classiest of ways
He compliments them so much and gives them such a low rating what
Gay shade
He’s being polite describing their good qualities but within the full realm of cake, almost no boxed cake is going to be GOOD, you know? Compared to fresh cake
the point is, boxed cakes will never be 5 star because as he said, doing it from scratch gives far more superior results
BRING HIM BACK
how does this have 1.4k likes but no replies
We need more reviews by this guy
Ms Lyndzy I know right ???
The likes are 666
Ms Lyndzy Agreed. He's funny but tasteful and seems approachable.
Best food review buzzfeed video ever. A hilarious and savage character
absolutely, what a genuine guy
One of my favorite food reviewers so far...
while he can judge the quality of the cake as a professional...
he still acknowledges the simple things like the smell of a bag of Tootsie Rolls lol...
it would be like something such as a professional chef cooking luxury food but can appreciate chomping into a Mc.D's Quarter Pounder lol...
Because Chefs are human too. We love a good ol greasy Chinese take out after an all night drinking. A true professional does not afraid to admit that he's human. That's how you can be relatable to humans.
"It's a chocolate cake guys, how can it'd be bad?"
couldn't agree with him more
“I pretend to be sophisticated, but I’m really garbage”
MEEEEE
Sierra Cheyenne me too
Sierra Cheyenne RIGHT SAAAAMMMMEEEE
True
Sierra Cheyenne i came for this comment😂
Me tryna earn a Bachelors in Music while knowing that after college I'm just gonna do drag for a living
“i try to act sophisticated but i’m really garbage”
Everyone: he's so relatable, he's so funny, he's so fair!
Me: he's hot. rate my cake.
He is quite the looker. And makes cakes!
Hot, funny, and can cook *swoon*
He gave a group of us a baking lesson once...he is just as funny in real life! Love him, especially on Halloween Baking Championship!😚
*_"i pretend to be sophisticated but i'm really garbage."_* is now my senior quote
Brah same!
SAME
Same
I love this guy mainly because with other videos that were done like this everybody else acted poshy asf
mandyhaswifi Sushi one, the pizza and the chocolatier were pretty chill too. Besides, the coffee guy, was so pretentious
But*
mandyhaswifi definitely! I like this guy a lot more.
You can see him on The Cooking Channel as one of the commentators on Unique Sweets. And I love he openly admitted that he’s garbage 😂😂😂
It’s af pls use af
Love this guy! He's so honest and is the perfect amount of critical and kind!
This chef is a judge on many MAAANY food network pastry competitions and he always brings a fun charismatic energy with him, Love him!!
They should have given him one of his own cakes at the end
Oakley Earl Yes. Give it to him without telling him.
Oakley Earl omg yes
Oakley Earl #plottwist
he should be blindfolded, he might visually remember what he made.
This man is brutal. It's a great cake, very moist, tastes phenomenal, beautiful to look at. One and half stars
He’s a professional
Ethan Knifsend His opinion is incredibly flawed too, has he never heard of dense cake? Not all cake is spongy. Somehow most of the cakes were "too moist" as well. I actively try to make my cakes as moist as possible. I don't appreciate eating dry go-for-a-glass-of-water cake. The only way a cake could be too moist is if when you press it with a fork it literally bleeds.
Yeah, the trained pastry chef's opinion and view of what cake should be like is flawed... ahem... smh
asleeplessgamer That cake looked nasty though. Dense in a very bad way.
asleeplessgamer That is opinion based. Also, dense cakes have different ingredients, types and methods. That there is a failed sponge cake. No doubt about it.
I really like how he always found something good in each cake.
Yup, making a cake from scratch, after one gets the knack of it, is really a breeze. The main trick is not to over-mix, that's when the cake can get tough and unpleasantly heavy.
honestly, my cakes came out great UNTIL I actually had an order, then every thing that could go wrong went wrong!!! I was making cakes from scratch
He is right when he says it doesn’t take any more time. I haven’t bought a boxed mix in years because there is just no point.
I actually love these, "culinary experts review store-bought factory-made brands"
I like the Homemade Vs. Store-bought [X] series tasty does because you get to compare what a pro would crank out vs what you get at the store/in a box. Side by side and with a taste test.
love his personality. put him in more videos!
he is a homosexual
Ghddsfhtfd Fgtdr and I like eating apples. Since we’re saying pointless statements.
On the Cooking Channel, he's on the show Unique Desserts.
He’s not annoying. I hate the donut video.
Ghddsfhtfd Fgtdr
Ok, and?
I use boxed cake mix but they call for water, I add whole milk. Since there's no butter it's good to have that fatty milk in there. Also instructions say to throw everything together in one bowl, but you can actually whip the eggs, milk, and oil together first and then add half the cake mix, mix it together, add the remaining half. That kinda helps
Abdullah Ansari also, adding an extra egg and a teaspoon of vanilla works wonders too!
Good tip thanks!
They really should have had him sample the exact same kind of cake from different brands so that we know the best one to buy!
"I pretend to be sophisticated, but im really garbage" Me
jonathan Robbins me too
Ikr same
I like to pretend I'm sofisticated but I'm really garbage -ME

WYNOLLO TV Wow, you posted two comments, both are top.
Sammmme
I was legit about to post the exact same comment 😂😂
I love how honest he is
This guy's good for these reviews. Funny, honest, generous and totally brutal at rating. Love him!!
I enjoyed his persona very much, 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@roqfortt Its a snapchat filter ya nasty
@@roqfortt i'm cackling
You should watch top chef just deserts..he was great on there..my favorite quote from that show"I can't do anything without a deep fryer and edible glitter"
But the stars aren't shaded so it looks like 0/5 stars lol
Persona 5 haha
“I pretend to be sophisticated but I’m really garbage” 😂😂😂 yassss
Jodi Santillan right when he said that I saw this comment
Lol yeah, I am thinking of using it as my catchphrase
Jodi Santillan my life 😂
I love self deprecating humor haha
He summarized me too lol
We need so much more of this guy
More of this adorable person please.
He’s a cool dude. I like how he kept it real and wasn’t “above” any of the cakes. Even that weird vanilla cake at the end. Seriously what was that? 😂
I like how he isnt just bashing on the cakes
Lexi Gim exactly. He actually seems like a normal human being unlike other videos like these.
Tri Monster seriously, he was so relatable and genuine. Love him
Unlike Ramsey...
I LOVED Zach on Top Chef Just Desserts. I wish they would bring that show back!
“It’s just a vehicle to get cream cheese frosting into my mouth.” TRUTH 👏🏻
"I pretend to be sophisticated, but I'm really garbage"
literally the one sentence that saved this series. all of the other professionals were so entitled it was high key really annoying
annieinspace the ramen expert, sushi expert and the chocolate expert were fine, though.
I approve of this guy, he can come back for other video's, he's funny.
debb0r yeah
He is fun to watch
Debra You're eyes 😍 masha Allah!
Hehehe thanks, it's edited though, not real! :)
Are you the owner of Buzzfeed or something? Why do they need your approval?
Cindy H. *sigh* Figure of speech. This is the internet, most of the time everyone has an opinion. im just saying this dude is cool. no need to dig any deeper than needed...
Love this man. WE DEMAND MORE OF HIM
I love this! "It's chocolate cake. How can it be bad?" But so right, that a homemade cake from scratch takes about 5 minutes more to mix and is SO much better. You can use the real vanilla and butter (I didn't use to--it's pricey, but now I can afford it and I'm glad. Same with butter over margarine. Plus no trans fats.). All of my kids get homemade birthday cakes. I'm certainly no professional, especially in the decorating department, but I can certainly handle a basic frosting. And they love choosing their own cake and frosting. That ISN'T buttercream. BUT there is so much you can do with a cake mix to make other types of desserts when you're in a hurry. And it's very cool way to start kids out in the kitchen. They learn to read a recipe, follow directions, prepare the cake pan, set the timer--and they get an awesome reward when they're done. It works like a charm to get kids cooking. No child of mine will be dependent on the cafeteria, take out, or ramen noodles in college. The cake mix does the trick.
I love that he wasn't pretentious enough to admit that there was some good things about these.
It has perfect consistency, so moist, great taste....I'll give it two stars 😂😂😂
OhGodItsKeith lmaoo
I was about to say the same thing lol, like whaaaa?
Hahahaha
I had an English teacher just like that in high school. Lol. She also refused to give out 100s because she felt like nobody was perfect.
OhGodItsKeith yeah like what lol
I will always love box cake mix.
I want to watch him review more cake and food in general!!
bring him, chocolate reviewer and ramen reviewer more often
let's not forget the sushi guy! i thought he was pretty chill
Sushi guy dude, Don't forget him he is pretty chill and gives low ratings and is very honest (Nice guy to
D
whisky dude was cool too
And the donut woman
"I pretend to be sophisticated, but I'm really garbage"
#relatableAF
Lol right now when I read this he said this
I’ve tried cakes from box to upscale and nothing beats some good ol’ homemade box cake especially for the price
"This cake is trying really hard but it just didn't live up to it potentials"
Me about my ass ...
MORE CAKE GUY
selneversleeps he doesn’t swing your way.
Great Value Bleach For all you know, he could be bi. Either way, MORE CAKE GUY
He's one of the judges on halloween baking championship on food network! I LOVE him!
Awhile back He was on top chef just desserts. I can't remember which season
Great Value Bleach IIRC when i was watching Unique Sweets on foodnetwork and he mentioned his wife.. I was honestly quite surprised. 😂
I do love his honesty. Nice to see high end professionals not being all too elitist and enjoying something simple for what it is, imperfect.
"gummy has no place in a cake" 😂😂
It's just a vehicle to get cream cheese frosting into my mouth lol ! Love it
"I pretend to be sophisticated but, um, I'm really garbage."
this is me as a quote, 100%
He’s so quotable
•Melanin Goddess• Exactly what I thought. I mean, almost every one of five sentences he said were quote worthy
Zac! He was my favorite on Top Chef Just Desserts. Love him
Whoever edited this...I love you. Thank you. I have died laughing every time I have seen this. Also Zac Young is an absolute LEGEND.
"I pretend to be sophisticated....but I'm really garbage"
wow relatable
I like this guy. Have him back and do boxed brownies, cookies etc. buzzfeed
I've actually never had box cake mix before, it's on my bucket list. His commentary is hilarious!!!
More of him please. He's awesome
"If you can mess up making a box cake mix, it's not you.....it's the cake mix" LOL 😅
"It's just a vehicle to get cream cheese frosting into my mouth" and now I have a new quote to live by
We want more of him!
What an incredibly likable dude
"I pretend to be sophisticated, but umm... I'm really garbage" lololololol
I love this dude’s personality
I’m crying because some of the things he says is legit things I would say😂
He seems a lot more modest and respectful than many other chefs who were featured here. Upvoted!
I really love how he describes every cake
“I like to pretend I’m sophisticated but I’m really garbage”
Why is that line so relatable 😂😂😂
Dylan Pham Ikr! so relatable
Happy
Because most of us try to be at least a little bit better than or base self's.
As soon as he said, "I pretend to be sophisticated but I'm really garbage" I just KNEW there were going to be 2826+ basic comments about it.
"OMG that's totally me!!! Hahahaha #relatable I'm so quirky and self-deprecating!"
Ooh look at you, Mister No-Fun-Allowed, you're so unique by being above jokes and fun.
Oh hi, #2827
You realize this is a comment about him saying that
Yeah I can see it everywhere. There's no need to point it out. Dick.
Let people enjoy things 2018 challenge
Loved him on Top Chef Just Desserts
"Thanks Mom" 😂😍😍 your mom is awesome!!!!
I’m crying this guy is hilarious
He's classy 👏💖

You mean fruity
Very fruity, but hey if I was gay. Id be his bear no problem.
chris86simon 😂 that's true
And gay.
‘It takes just as much time to make a cake from scratch’. Thank you! People think it’s sooo much work, but the results are night and day.
Still one of my favorites
