Merry ALMOST Christmas!!! We're at it again, but this time with a bigger budget and crazier bakers! This week I gave 3 bakeries $500 each to make the craziest holiday winter wonderland cake they could make. I was SHOCKED! Both good, and bad and tasted some of the most delicious cake recipes I have ever had. Giving these foodie artists complete freedom for sure makes for some interesting designs...

Most liked suggestion for these bakers, just might be made into a video!!! What should I challenge them to next?!
No cake, but q n a pleaseee!!!!!
Harry Potter Cake!
Harry Potter cake
Waterfall cakes!!
I wanna see Valentine’s Day cakes!
All three artists did so well, but that Grinch one is insane! Props to Kevin for getting it home in one piece!
He's the real hero of this video!!
@@TheIcingArtist agreed!
@@TheIcingArtist trueee
I loved the grinch but most of it wasn't cake. I thought the bottom portion was cake but knowing the top part is the cake and it's covered in fondant, I don't think it would serve too many. It's an insanely beautiful and impressive sculpture but I think cake 2 takes the win on this one.
@@cassidylouwerens1768 very true.
If any random person ever tried to order these cakes, they’d charge WAY more than $500. Nevertheless, they are beautifully done!
Yeah I'm so glad she pointed that out!!! Laurie is the best
Right it feels so weird to have these bakeries make these cakes, pay only $500, critique them, and then not even plug the bakeries?
@@mattbeidleman6799 Companies (the bakeries in this case) typically pay the influencer to plug them. At the end of the day, the bakeries did not have to go beyond budget (if they did) and they're not paying her. She doesn't have the responsibility to plug them. 😊
It's a shame because them knowing and going above budget ruins the entire comparison/reveal.
@@mattbeidleman6799 well if they're going to charge us way more than they charge her, they don't deserve to be plugged
Not gonna lie this is the BEST trio of cakes in this series
Agreed!!!!
@@TheIcingArtist I love this series, please never stop!!! Each time the level increases!!!!!!
I have no idea how your husband drove with those cakes
I agree 1000%
@@TheIcingArtist is that why no winner?
They all look wonderful, but i have to say, cake number 2 is the best for me, for a 500$ cake, you'd expect a lot of cake + cool design, in which this decorator achieved. It reminds me of old christmas movies too which brings a nostalgic feeling. Also, the fact that it lights up meaning, there's some engineering involved in it which showcase the talent that this cake decorator have.
Other cakes looks incredible too. The third one is amazing, but i was a bit disappointed that the mountain part wasnt a cake. I thought its gonna be cake for sure. It would have been so amazing if it was a cake too.
The first cake on the other hand, looks really cute and has a flavor that i would love the most out of all the three.
You have said everything I wanted to
That's way more than 500, too, crazy.
The mountain part is not cake....😭😭😭
I really appreciate the consistency of the second baker. They always do really clean, flawless, above and beyond cakes. I'm truly amazed by them each time.
Aye their work is always on point, they know their limitations and execute beautiful return that you don't need to worry it will have issues. The reaper one was absolutely incredible! This one is so sweet and old timey. It is that soft, warm and cosy idea of Christmas. The tree was a really nice tidy being properly 3D
Thank you 🙏🏽
@@artyoucaneat So glad to see you here! :>
I would love to see Studio Ghibli themed cakes!!! They would be so cute
Omg yess!
Yessss
Yes!! That would be amazing!
yes please do this!
Oh yes please , my goddaughter loves Kiki and Gigi
Can we just appreciate how Kevin got those all home in one piece!
1st cake is impressive and a really good improvement from their previous ones. The 2nd baker is clean, detailed, and very consistent. I have no words for the 3rd one. That one is definitely worth over $500!!
I didn't think the first cake could be beat (the elevation, detail, color and luxurious 'feel), and then Kevin brought out the second cake and it was amazing (the lights, the TREE, the snow). And then, he brought the heavyweight to the table (the Grinch, detail, gravity defying structure). They're all spectacular! Honestly, this is one of my favorite series, and in my opinion, these were the best so far. Just wow!
All three are definitely awesome. Cake #1 was not well enough supported, hence, as you said, drooping fondant. Which for $500 shouldn’t have happened. They should definitely know about cake structure/construction. Cake #2 is my huge FAVE!! FAVE !! FAVE!!! I mean the WHOLE truck was cake, and completely flawless. A contemporary classic Christmas themed cake. They nailed it. Cake #3, although a show stopper, and very impressive, I mean for $500, you got very little cake. When you cut the box open and revealed, I assumed the bottom mountain would be cake….nope. Just the Grinch sack. That’s a lota mula for a very small cake and lump of fondant and icing snow.
Yes. My thoughts exactly. I was thinking all of these as well. Also #3 cake had the least christmasy flavour. I mean I like chocolate & peanutbutter but it doesn't exactly make me think of Christmas. I actually think that all of these bakeries tend to have flavour problem for theme in all of the challenges. #2 cake is my favourite as well.
I mean if I pay $500 for a crazy Christmas cake, I want it be all that with flavour included. When I think Chirstmas flavours I think of caramel, cranberry, lingonberry, plum, mulled wine, rich chocolate, orange, gingerbread, almond and all of the spices.
I literally said the same thing. If I'm shelling out that much money I would expect a ton of cake to serve.
I'm not a baker or anything, but my thoughts exactly when it came to the third cake or a lot of cakes made this extravagant. It's usually such a small piece of cake with a crazy decoration. $500+ dollars for a cake that can maybe feed 20-30 people seems extreme. Especially with the cardboard and the slices being so small. Then again, slices being small means more people can enjoy it.
either way, I love all of the cakes. #1 and #2 were my favorite
Agreed. Disappointing that the grinch cave part itself is not also cake-that’s what I would expect to be cake, no the grinch’s sack. I suppose the cave structure must be hiding the ballast to keep the sled from toppling over. Still, disappointing. :/
Yup and those tiers were so shallow!
I mean if anything the brace for support would be a crntrsl colum in a sugar if wood. I was thinking if it is a steel rod it can have either a 10x 10cm or thicker wood that would be drilled down so it sides in. Drill in screws from underneath to attach to the base. That would leave a huge area for the cliff to be cake. I personally would have preferred to cut the mountain up to feed guests and leave the sleigh to be viewed by guests. Then the person it is for or who bought it can have the sleigh. Like that makes more sense to me. I mean imagine it cut. No sack on the sleigh and an intact lower section just seems odd.
Don't get me wrong I love the cake design overall and it is very cool.
My take out: The second bakery is great!!!. They would deliver incredible cakes consistently, even not knowing they were being displayed on UA-cam. I would love to know the name of that bakery.
I think they're on here as "Art You Can Eat"
Yes art you can eat is the cake artist for that cake I actually saw the cake when they posted on their page 👌
These cakes are phenomenal but I prefer the bakeries not knowing it's for your UA-cam channel. Maybe have a friend go order them for you?
YES
Or switch bakeries. There are good bakeries downtown too
I agree!
I think they realize because they're told to do what they want. Most people buying an expensive cake have an idea of what they want or a picture for inspiration. I prefer the comparison videos where 3 bakeries make the same cake
@@c.i.t.yenglish I agree!
Absolutely love the creativity and the execution of all the cakes😊 however…I’m certain that if the bakeries had no clue that their cakes would be featured on a popular UA-cam channel the cakes would not have turned out as extravagant for that type of price tag.
next time you do a challenge, have someone else order the cakes. That way they don't know it's for you tube and you will get a cake they would regularly make for $ 500.00. Not a you tube challenge. These bakeries did an awesome job though, way better than last year. love your channel and watch it soon as you put a new one up. I agree with another commenter that a New year's Eve cake would be a good challenge.
Yessss
Such a great idea. Definitely have someone else go in their or call to order.
I couldn't agree more with this comment
Good Idea
Even if it's someone else I think it would be obvious since it's local and noone really spends that much asking for crazy, 3d cakes. Esp after another episode they would know
Am I the only person who would be really disappointed if I paid that much for a cake and only 25% of it was actually edible? They look great but I'm so confused
I thought the exact same thing! The Grinch was awesome,but only like 25% was even edible and half of that looked like fondant 🤮
I completely agree. Everyone in the comments is eating it up and saying you'd have to pay way more than that if it wasn't for UA-cam...why? For like 8 slices? Fondant is disgusting and..lazy. You can make it look cool but with all that detail...just make Christmas decorations? Why should a cake look like that?
A lot of these people are talking as if they're knowledgeable on the subject and I'm sure they are but I just wonder where they live. I used to be a cake decorator in a really nice bakery, our cakes were expensive buy nothing like $500 for 2 little 6" rounds.
It takes skill to sculpt things out of fondant, I'm not denying their skill but...it all just goes it the bin and never looks better than beautiful icing work Imo.
I was looking for a comment about this!
With the Grinch cake, when Kevin said “that’s the cake part” about the sack of presents I was confused.. $500 for a little cake!?
I understand how beautiful and amazing it is but also if you’re paying for a cake you expect to receive cake lol
@@averydee6659 then you should give much more instruction like for how many people....She said just crazy over the top which they really are. It takes a lot of skills to sculpt such cakes and also lot of time.
@@averydee6659 for one they said over the top amazing cakes and it’s hard to do that without fondant and stuff last time they didn’t say that so it was more “cake”
Absolutely Beautiful cakes. They absolutely made cakes that don’t reflect the budget!!
This was fun, but I'm sad the bakeries knew. That means they made cakes for youtube, not the average customer. It's hard to know if these are $500 cakes and it's not as fun when everything is perfect.
They absolutely aren't.
Yeah 100%
I feel like this video shouldn't even be called $500 cakes because they're not. I still think it's cool to see bakeries make, as she mentioned, the equivalent of a "show cake" and really go all out... but it's a different video than "what will bakeries make creatively with a $500 budget?"
Bakery #2 always serves though so you can definitely trust them
I majorly agree--hopefully they can either send someone else to place the orders or travel further for the cakes where they aren't so well-known. It's much less fun to see this fancy show cakes.
They knew already though. Her channel is too big and the videos are too popular for it to be a secret, especially since she uses a small pool of local bakeries.
I totally appreciate and love your honesty about how the bakeries now finally know it’s for youtube and that it‘ll probably show in their cakes 👍🏼🥰 it’s unfortunate but was bound to happen, it‘s just a sign of how big your channel has become which is good because you absolutely deserve it, Laurie! Merry Christmas to you and Kevin ❤️
I'd love to see Laurie attempt a vegan/gluten free cake. I made one for my wedding and there were so many issues to sort through but I was pleased with the final results and I bet she'd smash it!
I second this. I always wanted to be a cake artist but then found out I'm celiac and casein intolerant. Wah wah..
I believe she's done a vegan one before.
@@tumble0weed You can still be a cake artist. You don't have to eat the products.
@@MargaritaOnTheRox some people are so sensitive that they can’t even be around the flour that might blow up in the wind…
All those cakes look amazing and congrats to those whom created these masterpieces
You should get the bakeries to do an insane new years 3d cake, next Laurie! 🎆 🎇
1st cake was cute but I would totally be upset with it falling apart. 2nd cake was my favorite. I loved the truck with tree and presents in the back. 3rd cake the Grinch looked funky and so did the girl in the Santa bag. Also I would have expected the bottom to be cake. I would not be happy if I received that little cake for $500
*The first one was amazing but the 3rd one was just absolutely insane, whoever made them is incredibly talented* 👏🏻
I feel like she should credit these talented bakers , it will probably bring them more customers ,which they deserve 🥵👏
I agree!!! But unfortuately because of liability, I can't. If I say something wrong, or if you all feel negatively towards someones work, that could negatively impact their business. In this series I have had countless cakes completely collapse and fall apart. Including in this video after filming. Cake have also gone spoiled, been the wrong flavor, and simply tasted bad. I want this series to be honest and open both with my review, and your guys review in the comments. BUT I will be doing a final video to this series at some point, and reveal the most used incredible bakers I adore. Because I want nothing more than to support them!
BUT also, the bakers post on the IGs about the video and comment on the videos. So watch out for them replying!!
@@TheIcingArtist oh no! A final video means this series will eventually end! I‘m not ready for this, i love this series with all my heart (and stomach 😅)
Ok! I was wondering about that as well. Now that you explained it, it makes sense (sadly). I can't wait til you do reveal some of them bc they are legit amazing!
@@TheIcingArtist I def get and appreciate that fact. We don't want to "shame" any bakers. But as so many are commenting, it was more "fun" when the bakers didn't know it was going to be for YT and they stuck to the budget of what they'd charge an average customer. I understand they are getting recognized (as they comment in post, take credit for theirs, etc.) but it gives the false narrative that any person could walk into their bakeries and pay $500 to get those masterpieces!!! I LOVE this series--it's my FAV of anything. Just wish it would go back to "stick to the budget" and either 1. they don't get to be revealed good or bad or 2. they do and get credit for it (good or bad). LIke, if you screw up, that's on you--so make it good and steady/stable.
Dog on couch never flinches during the excitement! This house is always filled with joy. Also, love all these cakes.
I had to stop what I was doing and sit down and give this episode the attention it deserved! I’m in awe of all three cakes! I could sit and look at them longer than I’d like to admit!
“Congrats to everyone who is early and found this comment”🌟
The second is the best .. so classic, warm and nostalgic.
Laurie’s reactions when she sees the cakes is priceless
Oh My!! I cannot choose which is the best! I really love the Red Truck, but holy Christmas Batman!! The Grinch cake is defying gravity!! That is a cake you would see on a Food Network challenge. This bakery pulled no punches.
Didn't you hear her? The sleigh is structurally sound because its metal and the mountains under it aren't even cake! They're styrofoam. The only cake part of that whole thing is the red sack.
Which is cool and all but for $500 I'd expect more actual cake. 🤷🏼♀️ #Truckcake4thewin
I like that all 3 bakers were fully aware, they gave it their best and they did do great. Great video today 💕
All 3 are charming & exciting ...your passed out wooter on your sofa is also just darling! Love your fun channel! Merry Chrinkuss!! 🎄
Forget all the bakers. KEVIN understands the assignment every time 😂😂😂
These were definitely the best cakes you got since you started this challenge, they are all so amazing. I gasped at all of them...great job to all the bakeries that made them
I don’t even like cake but watching you get so excited over the cake and your heartwarming essence invoice just makes me so happy. When you upload these videos it’s like my comfort video to just watch and relax too. I love your contacts so much thank you for being such a bright light on UA-cam
Video idea:
Lauren and the bakeries should be given a theme or idea and a budget. Lauren creates a cake and the bakery creates a cake, both with the same idea and theme then see which one is better
*Laurie & she's done that before 🙃
I live for the last cake . It's breath taking ...
Best EVER!! Holy cow! How about natural disaster cakes? A tornado, a flood, etc? But anyhow, whoever did those cakes ...... MASSIVE talent! Merry Christmas to you and Kevin!
I think the reason you didn't taste coffee in the coffee cake with baileys is that coffee cake is usually a crumb cake. Not literally a coffee flavored cake. Since the cake was yellow I feel pretty positive it was a coffee cake as in crumb cake which is typically served with coffee in European countries.
Oh gosh, has it been a year since that last Christmas video? Time flies!
Well I'm BLOWN AWAY by these cakes, especially the Grinch/sled cake. I'm not a lover of chocolate/peanut butter cakes but I'm SALIVATING after seeing your reaction. I hope the baker and her husband are thrilled by your reaction! Happy holidays!
I love this series!!🥰🥰 looking forward for a New Years one too!! 💕💕
I wouldn't be able to cut these, they are just to amazing, and I'm so glad you said that they need to give you a side of the cake so that you don't have to cut into these. Incredible!!!
I'm satisfied that all 3 bakeries actually made cakes that are worthy of $500, I think the last one could have been worth more though.
I really love them all.
Meanwhile i am disappointed at the amount of cake in the 3rd. If i paid 500+ for cake and got maybe enough cake for 10-20 people i would not be happy
Just finished the video!! The cakes were brilliant! I really loved the new bakeries cake!! 😋🥰💕
All 3 cakes were amazing but I have to say the first one is my favorite so whimsical and creative! I just love the cute little bears and the snow globe
Hey Laurie! You once did a video where you turned cupcakes into boujee cake truffles. Can we get a Christmas version with like chocolate cupcakes, maybe!?!? btw loved the video!!
THIS WAS POSTED ON MY BIRTHDAY. lysm laurie ur videos make my day especially when you post on my birthday thanks so much
These cake were amazing but it’s unrealistic because in reality it’s not worth $500 for someone to just walk in and order, they would never charge that amount. They went above and beyond because they knew it was going to be on UA-cam. Go back to not letting these bakeries know!
Bakeries near me would
She should order anonymously next time.
Ummm. Yes we would!! 300.00 is fairly inexpensive for these types. My wedding cakes..ran from 80.00 to 700.00
She said in the video that she didn’t tell them. Laurie has over 4.5 million followers now and still uses local bakeries, it’s impossible to not know. I feel like she’s asked so much that they’d still know, even if someone else called in and asked
@@poppycartergraphics120 you’re missing what I’m saying. I said for an regular person to walk into a bakery and order a cake like that they’re not getting it for $500. If you walked into a bakery and asked for one of the cakes specifically, you’re not getting quoted $500. Because she told them it’s for UA-cam they went above and beyond to create it. Come on now be real
All the things to you too! Awesome video. I’ve been practicing holiday music with a group I’m in for over a month, but I just now got the Xmas spirit watching this.
I love Laurie's reaction to the last one so much xD
The last one 😍
But I do love The Grinch, watched it for like the 8th time this year yesterday on my birthday haha, I've watched it so many times and it's my favorite Christmas movie!
I wish it was a little clearer how much is edible to not. The grinch cake is gorgeous but if only the tiny sled is edible out of the whole thing, it loses points for me. This is a bakery/cake competition, not an art/sculpture competition.
I kind of wish the cakes were bought anonymously because you’re right, they probably put in way more effort for UA-cam than they would for an average buyer and that kind of sucks for the average person.
Love the content. Beautiful cakes and glad they taste good too.
I know its the shortest, but the truck is my favorite. i feel like she captured this really beautiful moment in time.
They are all triple wow-worthy, no lie, but the red truck has my heart…just love love love ❤️❤️❤️ it so so SO much!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏🏽
@@artyoucaneat you are so so welcome!!
I would love to see Kevin taste them with you and see his reactions to the flavors etc :)
These are honestly THE most amazing cakes across the board. Everyone smashed the challenge.
Love these videos, always turn out amazing!! X
The 2nd Baker is consistent, she's always doing a great job
Those cakes were amazing! Was the bottom structure of the grinch cake as well?
No! I'm not sure what they made it out of, but I think Rice Krispies
@@TheIcingArtist that still really is amazing!
WOW!!! They were all amazing cakes, but the last one was my favorite. They all did a great job.
Wow these cakes are just a feast for the eyes!
I absolutely love their dynamic as a couple and how sweet and silly they are together!
These cakes are amazing wish I could have them for Christmas 🎄🎄⛄.
Finally!!! I knew your video had to be coming out soon! Been checking UA-cam everyday for the past week hahaha. Love this!
I was just wondering what you do with these magical cakes after you've tasted? I would have to have them escorted out the door quickly or risk 100 pounds added to my hiney! You should record yourself gifting them if that's what you do. I can imagine the joy! Love your channel!
Coffee Cake is traditionally a cake served WITH coffee, not coffee flavored. It's usually a cinnamon&nutmeg flavored spice cake, often served with a struesal filling
These were phenomenal but I wish they didn’t know they were being judged because I want to see what they really would have done in a normal scenario
you should do one with mini cakes!! y’all always talk about how big the cakes are, but it would be cool to see how detailed they get with miniature cakes!!
All these artists definitely knew they were going to be on UA-cam. I don't see anyone taking this much effort for any ordinary customer.
there is no way the general public would be able to buy these cakes for $500....not really an honest competition.
People were complaining that the bakery didn't know now someone is complaining they knew. Can't win
#1- Loved the detail and not the size
#2-The size I would expect for $500- great details
#3-Your winner!!!!!
Thank you😊
WE WRE GOING TO NEED ANOTHER TRYING 500 CHRISTMAS CAKE VIDEOOO THIS WAS JUST TOO GOOD I NEED TO SEE ANOTHER THREE CAKES NOWWWW (everyone like this comment)
I feel like you didn't critique the cakes like you usually do.... Maybe because they might be watching?
They were all so good this time though
lol ya... that's super hard for me. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings! It's different when it's a blind review and no one knows, and then these bakers are watching, waiting for my reaction. BUT what do YOU guys feel I didn't mention????
After watching the video back, I for sure noticed some things I didn't mention. The first cake did fall apart in the end. Sadly what you see at the end of the video ended up being its demise. It just couldn't keep up with the weight of all the decorations on the front.
The second cake, I don't think there's anything I wished I said. (but SO curious if I missed something that you guys caught!!)
For the thrid cake, I loved the Grinch! But I think she tried to go too realistic with Cindy Lou Who's face, which is very challenging!! I think doing a more cartoony vibe would have looked better. The painted face wasn't working for me.
What do YOU think!?!?
I’m so glad you mentioned what you do with all the cakes because I was concerned about that and wondered if y’all just wasted them!
I would love to see what you could create for a Christmas cake. All the bakeries made amazing looking cakes. Show us your Christmas designs too please.
What
I saw the first two, especially that first one and thought nothing coupd beat it, but that last one? Oh my god!
I am DECEASED!!! The Grinch who stole Christmas is my favorite movie!! My heart
I absolutely love the second cake! ❤️💚Merry Christmas, Laurie!
Thank you
Ok. So the only sucky thing about this video is, these cake artists went ALL OUT knowing it would be on UA-cam but for what? Because know one knows the name of the shop. I get when you don't show their name when the cake is bad or falls down or whatever to protect them. But when it's this epic, you should put their names on there so they get credit.
Agreed!
Yes, please!!!
She commented above and said she cannot name them bc it would be a liability,if she said something that she didn't like about them. Also bc she has had cakes that have fallen apart ( including cake #1 from this video) some have been spoiled,and some just weren't good. As badly as she wants to promote them,she can't. Also,The baker of cake #2 has commented above, several times. If you wanna know who made the truck cake 😁
I loVEEE the first cake. Minus the malfunction, the color and Christmas cheer is strong in that one!
Wow! All them bakers need to be super proud of themselves. They are amazing!
i miss seeing u make really creative cool 3d characteristics cakes yourself. i would like to see u make a Christmas there cake.
I like the one with the tree in the middle the best. So beautiful so many details. They’re all amazing but wow! That first cake screamed cozy holiday to me.
"[She] understood the assignment" had me LOLing!
First cake is so beautiful, I wouldn’t want to destroy it, because it’s so beautiful. I’m all about the snow globe at the top.
Wow, those cakes were stunning! I'm a little jealous that you got to taste all those amazing cakes! I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas.
Grinch cake was my favorite for sure!!
Wow so so clever love them but the grinch was my favourite . Merry Christmas xo
so amazing what these cake artists can do when they met their creativity go!!! Congrats to all 3 of them.
1. Wow! 😍
2. Ohh THAT IS Lovely 😊
3. 😮😯😲😳🤯🤯🤯👏👏👏
They are all excellent but love the cuteness of the 1st one but all 3 are seriously amazing.
Yesss!!! I’ve been looking forward to this video so much! Absolutely blown away🤗
Maybe challenge the bakers to make a cake for a less requested/common cake like Diwali, Holi, or Kwanza? I’d love to see what kind of creative things they come up with.
The truck was my favorite. All three were amazing, though. Definitely the best trio of cakes I’ve seen on this channel.
Thank you
Omg! All of them are just amazing! My favourite, wait, they're all my favourite! Lol
DISNEY CAKES PLEASE IT WOULD BE A COMBO OF EVERYTHING I LOVE
I was looking for this video yesterday I’m so excited!
I just CAN'T pick one! They are ALL SO BEAUTIFUL. WOW.
These cakes are amazing!!! Seriously made my night to see something so beautiful
