I think that was the original purpose. And that's why the person only sells them once in a while, that way she can make 1 of each cake and cut it into slices for everyone in the waiting list to get their cake at the same time. Instead of selling 1 slice and throwing away the rest of the cake. This allows anyone interested in cakes from her will know exactly what every flavor tastes like. If she had to bake 6 cakes for every order the price would be ridiculous
@@dustbucketauHej I'm a baker! You gotta think about the labor that goes into baking all those separate cakes though. When we pay for things, especially prepared food items from smaller businesses, a large reflection of price is labor because they usually don't have large scale factory grade food equipment to speed up the process. Also each of those cakes are different, therefore boom already 8 different cake batters she has to make, then they all have their own filling, 8 different fillings, now this baker is already up to 16 separate things they have to prepare for this box, and we haven't even counted the individual frostings yet for each cake lol. That alone is already so much work. You also don't know what ingredients she's using. Perhaps if it's unbleached more natural sugar, a stone ground flour, etc. Lastly, if the flavors she's offering are unique, that also ups the value. Most people can find a classic chocolate ganache cake from most bakerys that have a cake program and call it a day. The more unique product you offer, the more you can charge typically. If I want a cardomon passionfruit curd vanilla wedding cake, even sampling, of course its gonna cost more than a regular chocolate cake, theres more materials/ingredients going into it/more time and labor for said additional ingredients, therefore more expensive! Just some perspective into the administrative side of a bakery so you understand why this box perhaps priced the way it is ❤
omg i wish people did more sample sized cake boxes like this!!!! that way the couple knows exactly what they want for their special day, or a single gal like me can just order a variety of cakes to enjoy. win-win!!!
is there really no such thing in America? Order an assortment of 10 different cheesecakes? Or order a cake that consists of 10 different pieces? I even have an 18-year-old nephew who makes such assorted dishes to order.... and he lives in the village :D It would cost $20 to order such a video from him. And it would be a very high price, I literally said the maximum he would take, given that the ingredients are almond flour, pecans, high-quality ingredients for the cream, fresh self-grown berries for compote and hand-made meringue. Where the hell is ganache, coolies, compote, creme, confit and kurd? There's only bread and cream, it's very insulting to pay such money for bread with jam.
@@MeilaSpanner yes, we absolutely do have it in America. Most cake places have this option. I've usually seen people go in person and do the taste tests AND they are usually free!! 😊
@MeilaSpanner I will never understand why I ALWAYS see people saying shit like this. is xxx really not a thing in America? 🙄 first of all how do you even know of this person lives in America. second. do you not understand how insanely massive America is? ONE single person's comment who is speaking on their very specific tiny part of the country doesn't mean theyre speaking on the entire massive country. I stg it makes yall sound so dumb..
My parents had pink champagne cupcakes at the wedding and oh my god i still think about them. they had an almond frosting and it was so incredibly delicious, it is my favorite dessert to this day.
Hi, that sounds awesome! If you dont mind telling me, how much was it? I was thinking of getting a sample box for my mother, but I couldn't find a price 😅.
@@evodaddams6232 they're $70- $85. That's the price range I've been able to find for their tasting boxes. And you have to sign up to get access cause they only release them a few times a year
I'm confused about where they got these cake pieces. In my experience, many cakes left over from wedding processions at hotels are thrown away or distributed to employees
Tbh People shouldn’t call vanilla basic because it is a gorgeous subtle sweet favour and the spice vanilla is actually so expensive please have respect 😭
Fr! It hadnt occured to me cake could be made with tea flavors like crushing the leaves to fine powder or steeping to ge the flavor and into the batter
Earl grey cake is quite popular in Korea its really good in my opinion. I love tea but I still was really not expecting to like the cake to be honest. Of course some places can mess it up but most places I’ve had it have had pretty good versions in my opinion.
$85 a box and $75 for the required overnight shipping for this sampler. I love how this looks but, for $160 you could go to a local bakery in a big city near you and have some amazing cake and memories for less.
Exactly, go to a local bakery and have them make you a wedding cake variety sample. Even if it cost $85, you wouldn't have to pay the overnight shipping. But I could see somebody wanting to order the cake sampler box.💓
It’s a good example of how the US is becoming more and more extreme opposite ends in terms of wealth/class. You’re either rich enough to afford $160 worth of random cake and see it as nbd or have to buy a $2 box of cake mix for a special occasion 😅
the owner of the bakery sent out an email a couple weeks ago that she's gonna stop selling these cause there's a lot going on in her life and her business is only ran by her and her husband.
One of my favorites part of my sister's wedding was the cake samples, omg I never tasted so much cake, but honestly one flavor more amazing than the last
I love it when people actually use their creativity when it comes to cakes and not just always order the regular vanilla or choco combos but put in some extra flavours in there! If i will have a wedding i will look these up!
Hello there I just got married in June, we picked Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake ($42). It was the best decision. Not one piece of the cake was leftover. We only bought a small round to cut in front of everyone but you can order a sheet cake of it too for bigger weddings. Cut the small in front of everyone and have the sheet cake getting up for everyone.
I had a friend who got vanilla cake for her wedding not because she liked the flavor in particular but because if there were crumbs left on her teeth or dress it wouldn't be noticeable bc it's not colored. It made me so sad and annoyed bc I can't imagine being so concerned about looks that you can't even enjoy a cake.
People tend to forget that the point of a wedding is to have fun, and that it’s a day of celebration for the bride and the groom. A lot of people unfortunately treat it like pageantry. If I ever get married, I don’t care, my cake is going to be *decadent*
Right??? By that point in the wedding everyone is drinking and dancing and celebrating and looks a mess🤣 And cutting the cake is pretty much the last set of pictures you take so who cares😂 Plus it’s not hard to eat without making a mess😂
it's her wedding.. of course she cares about how she looks on her big day. She can eat her flavoured cake the next day😂 cake is really not a priority here
The most popular wedding cake in my hometown New Orleans is almond cake... this cake is only used for weddings.. but it's a popular wedding cake that should be tried as well..
Just tried to order, they are having to suspend their testing cake boxes for now because of unfortunate health reasons. But I will be on that list as soon as they are healthy and ready to go again.
I signed up for the mailing list so that I can see when the boxes are available. They only make boxes a few times a year. This looks so fun and like the perfect gift!
If you liked brown butter cake, id recommended brown butter ice cream. Im not personally a fan of butter, but its definitely a heavy hitter star at restaurant's and relatively easy to make yourself as well
I think this is perfect for when you want to taste test cakes to decide which one you want for your wedding! You don’t even have to leave your house for cake testing. Lol
This sounds like a great way to discover what type of cake you want for your wedding. But i definitely will only buy it so i can eat all of then in one sitting.
I bake earl grey cake for tea almost every Saturday and my friends, family & I never get tired of it (I vary the extras tho sometimes it’s just som whipped cream other times som nice homemade orange compote & creme fraiche, the light creme and citrus flavor matches the cake soooo wonderful, u can also swap the earl grey for your favorite chai)

@@savanthebananThey're just saying that especially when you're not using it for the intended purpose, you're better off buying a whole cake if you want cake.
