I was watching Food Network before I went to sleep last night and Ace of Cakes was on. They were talking about the "cake" they were making as they were covering styrofoam shapes with fondant and icing. Then they were drilling pieces of a particular cake together and I started wondering what the people who order these so called "cakes" do, when they go to cut into the "cake" and there is a big styrofoam floral block underneath instead of actaul cake. I know parts and pieces of the cakes are, well, "cake", but thats just cheating!! The guy named Geof made a castle cake and made a big deal to let everyone know that he made it out of...cake! Then the delivery guy dropped it and ruined the thing and what did he blame it on...yep, the cake! The real cake towers were to heavy and unstable and fragile.
There is really absolutley no point to this post... just a thought. Really, I would be bummed if my cake were made out of anything that is NOT cake!!! I love my cake too much. Really, the show should be called "Ace of decorating random pieces of construction material with frosting and making you feel bad that your cakes fall apart because you dont use hardware to hold them together." At that point, it is like covering a piece of wood and playing play-dough on top of it. :)
But it doesnt change anything... I still LOVE my food network and I will still watch my shows...even Ace of "Cakes".
Haha
I heard about this. People buy these things for their weddings, and
ReplyDeletethere are real pieces of cake, so they can take pictures, then the
"cake" is taken away and the guests are served sheet cake, but think
it's the other cake that, by this point, has already been thrown away.
I guess it's cheaper and people are able to afford these and have
extravagant looking cakes. Interesting....
