What is CAKEGATE ??? 

this is the type of drama I adore. Like, there's no one committing any felonies, children aren't involved, it's just a crazy lady who makes shitty cakes

“If your eyebrows can’t even decide what time zone they’re in” she wasn’t roasted, she was overbaked

I feel like this woman would get along with the Pink sauce lady so well

Apparently, it’s very common for bakers to use cake mix since it’s quicker and usually people like the box mix more in a blond taste test. Even the Cake Boss himself says it’s okay and there’s no shame in it, it’s just you shouldn’t lie about making your cakes from scratch.

Cakegate just proves that if you think you're too underqualified to do something, there is always someone out there is even more unqualified than you are with double the confidence.

I don’t think anyone is mad for the store bought box mix, it’s that she CLAIMED she was making them from scratch.

1:33 the red whatever is fully baked, I can tell from the texture. The pans were not cleaned between cakes.

The way she says "i replaced the original background and make it white" in the wednesday cake absolutely made me feel like she gaslight me 💀💀💀

every cake that she tried to recreate feels like she should be on "Nailed it" 💀

The worst thing about the Cakegate lady was not her cakes, but her HORRIBLE customer service! She not only didn't offer to make it right for her customer, but she took to social media to try to shame her customer for not liking her work. That level of hubris deserves all the trolling she's getting.

That Spider-Man buttslap caught me all the way off guard

The minute the “baker” started talking, and all I could think was… “oh no, of course she’s southern”…. bless her heart.

Using that much Fondant on a cupcake should be illegal. Someone arrest her.

as a cake decorator who works at a grocery store i sometimes worry over how my cakes look but at least i know they are exponentially better than this woman’s expensive ass cakes lol

I watched this video in April of 2024, 11 months after it was posted. They were only at 100k then, and now theyre at 1.62 million! I love your content :D

That "Look at it!" at 5:34 got me 🤣💀

She is walking proof that no matter how bad you think you are at something, there is someone else out there doing it worse and more confidently

As a young baker, I think this is absolutely hilarious 😂. This woman is out here butchering cakes that weren't even made from scratch and being rude as hell to any criticism. This shit is fantastic 😂

"The chemicals will enhance my homosexuality" I guess the chemicals in the water really do turn the frogs gay.

"our signature rainbow cake" she keeps acting like it's so special and iconic when it's no different than those rainbow cakes you would find at a grocery store she literally named the same icing they used for the grocery ones at Costco and number of layers exactly like a store bought cake 😭😭

the fact you're not even a baker yourself and it somehow looks better than her rainbow cake is insane to me

As a stylist, I'd say "hey ya'll, everyone starts somewhere," but damn. This person has been doing it for years, teaches classes on how to make these cakes and then refuses to learn from blatant mistakes. I think we are all a little delusional now and then. I also think someone in Kylie's hometown lied to her several times.

I worked in a bakery as a DISHWASHER and it was TEN YEARS AGO and I can tell that these cakes are poorly done for the price (aka if your half-blind grandma does it for free, then sure). I PERSONALLY was allowed to do piping on the bakery cakes (not the custom ones obviously) and I did a better job. How on earth did this person get her own baking business???

“I really wouldn’t talk about how other people look if your eyebrows can’t agree about what time zone they’re in“ DAMN LMFAO

“the chemicals enhance my homosexuality” is one of the best things i’ve ever heard

Pricing an 8-inch cake for $75.99 is absolutely ridiculous and a rip off. I’ve been working at a small, family owned bakery for two years now and our most expensive cake that feeds 40 people is 80 dollars. Not to mention that our cakes are beautifully decorated and have been a sensation for over 80 years. I’m literally so horrified that someone could get away with selling that crap pile of a cake for ALMOST 80 DOLLARS….it has nothing to do with her being a small business and everything to do with her lack of skill level.

How DARE she charge people to take a class with her and teach them how to decorate cakes when hers look like THAT.

"Passed one-hundred thousand subscribers, I'm very overwhelmed" Oh dear, you had no idea what was coming, did you? XD

It's insane how unprofessional Kylie is. Publicly shaming a customer is wild

My favorite part was when the original customer remade the cake she ordered and it turned out like 1000% better than the one she paid for. Like isn't the whole point of buying a cake instead of making it yourself supposed to be that a professional can do a better job than you can and that's why it's more expensive than just baking?

I love how her Instinctual response to a beeping microwave was to scream at it

10:56 JESUS CHRIST THE FONDANT. THAT WOULD MAKE THE SWEET OLD LADY ON YOUR STREET SWEAR.

Cakegate is so fun to watch, Im not usually one for bullying but 80 bucks for a terribly ugly cake…. it’s needed this time, i feel.

As a small baker, I would NEVER publicly shame a customer, even if they are in the wrong. It’s just unprofessional and causes unwanted attention. I only want good vibes. I will now be publicly apologizing to any unhappy customer. This is why I don’t decorate cakes. I do Bundts and loafs. Decorating is something I’m still working on and I just don’t want to do it lol

14:06 thanksh Obamah

The ending with the cake & the 100k subscribers was so sweet. 😢 Happy to see someone who obviously works hard, fighting for cool things and being smart, is gaining success. Good for you.

The cross contamination she does is really what pisses me off, I took a year long pastry course. Health and Safety was pounded into us because you could seriously cause someone a major allergic reaction and end up in a lawsuit

I am in a baking class, we had never heard of this until a classmate pulled it up. My Chef, who had a legit cake business before, was absolutely baffled someone would charge that much for this cake. Like there isn’t even a final layer! She threw sprinkles on the CRUMB COAT.

The "stop f#@&ing eating it" had me laughing 🤣

the rainbow cake looks like something old jojo siwa would have at her birthday but she decorated it

My issue with her cakes is not even that they’re bad but that she just does them so LAZILY. If she took the time to draw a good circle, a straight line, fix mistakes it would look so much better… ahhh

For anyone how doesn't know the mysterious brown stuff on the side of the cake tin is slightly burnt cake mix which means that she didn't wash the cake tin before making the cake

Since this episode commemorates 100k subscribers, I wanted to post here that you literally make me laugh more than any other creator I've seen. Thank you!!

I know you probably wont see this or forgot about this video or get a million notifications about it a day, but i want to thank you so much funky, after following your tiktok for years, i decided to watch your youtube and this just so happened to be my first RU-vid video from you, and I constantly come back to watch it, it has become one of my comfort videos, i watch it to sleep every night, and i just want to say thank you so much for being you, and making this video, you dont know how much this one single video has saved me so much anxiety and stress!!!

"I'm not sure who designed it but shout out to them." Has the same energy as people who pick art off of Pinterest and credit Pinterest or say "credit to the artist"

Thank you for filtering the muddy sewage water of Tiktok down to us to sweet sweet clean water we can consume

I’m watching this 10 months later and you have 1.72 MILLION subscribers!!! I’m admittedly a new one, late to the game, but I’ve been obsessed and binge watching since I found you!

4:12 Idk why, but I fricking died when I saw this part first time XD Magnificent

a lot of cake decorators use premade cake mix with some things added to make it different/better but she STANDS by being COMPLETELY HOME MADE

I just made a birthday cake for my sister and I’m not really good at decorating cakes, this made me feel SO MUCH BETTER about the cake I made 💀💀💀

We love that slu- Had me dying

In 9 months you went from 100k subscribers to over a million!! That’s so fucking awesome. Super happy for you and I can see why… I just discovered your channel and I love it.

I personally hate the majority of sprinkles(excluding really small, fine sprinkles) they’re just so hard and chalky so this cake is my nightmare

"I wouldn't talk about other people's appearance If your eyebrows can't agree on what timezone they're in" I am in shambles- this is now added into my offense book

Just found this hysterically funny video - 10 months after posting and as I type, yr subs are 1.53 MILLION - up from the 100k you had back then - which is freaking awesome!

100k straight to 1m, your insanity has brought us much joy. Thank you for your sacrifices

My question is: why was ANYONE paying her for that crap?

I would totally pay eighty dollars for that original Wednesday cake design, it looked SPECTACULAR, like one of those creations almost too beautiful to be destroyed.

She needs to go on that show NAILED IT

the way you seemed on the verge of tears while thanking us for100k 😭

baker here! i just wanna add that it’s totally normal to not use gloves when baking cakes & decorating them. we wash our hands 24/7 and wearing gloves can make it harder to decorate

Someone definitely told her to create a cake business after she gave them some and she took it seriously, and everyone just enabled her and said Yes so she can’t fathom that she’s not good at it. At. All.

15:30 I’m now scream laughing at work

I was literally about to comment about her eyebrows when you said something about them. Girl them brows are UNEVEN!!!

2:27 I got a cake around the same price from a woman who was only baking as a hobby. 3 layer cake with perfect texture and amazing icing that was decorated so well and beautifully. It took me days to get through the whole thing, it was worth the cost and I buy from her for most cake events. But if she gave me this for what I paid- I would’ve sobbed

Just to point out, many cake decorators use box mix that they then improve a bit with different liquid ingredients, as cakes really are edible chemistry, cake mix is gonna make a consistently good cake every time. You’re paying for their time and expertise in decorating, and many of them do have really amazing decorating skills. So the cake mix thing isn’t really that big a deal, it’s the charging so much for such subpar decorating and customer service

HELP YOUR PRUE LEITH IMPRESSION GOT ME AAAAAGGGJJHJBFFF as a Brit who’s seen bake-off multiple times that was perfect 👌🏻

2:42 if my eyes don’t deceive me that cake is crooked/leaning/slanted. Whatever word it it, it’s uneven

This woman’s cakes are the embodiment of the phrase “sometimes things that are expensive… are worse”

honestly using boxed mix isn't a mortal baking sin. They're a solid base that turns out consistent results, and if the decorating is more your strength they can let you focus on that. Here's an easy way to make a boxed cake mix better: add 1 small box instant pudding in a matching flavour, 1 extra egg and an extra 1/4 cup oil (and consider swapping half the oil with melted butter). Sub out the water with milk or (even better) buttermilk It will be extra moist and flavourful, with a really nice crumb texture. Not too heavy, not too delicate.

Can we just appreciate the cleanness and organization that Froggy has in the kitchen? Way to go 🩷

It’s like she was baking a box cake one day was like “hey. I should open my own bakery, this is easy”.

The cake mix thing isn’t a big deal. A lot of bakers use pre-mixed cake mix because all it is is flour, sugar, leveling and flavouring. However, most bakers who use cake mix don’t actually follow the directions. They add butter instead of oil, milk instead of water and add more eggs than it asked for. And they don’t charge so much for these cakes. But every other thing she did is inexcusable.

Fun fact: many professional bakeries use boxed cake mixes and just alter them. Each one that i know of has their own secret way of altering the boxed cake mix. So on that point i dont really judge her. $80 is laughable tho

woah you went from 100K to 1.72 million in just a little less then a year! that's such a huge improvement!

15:46 When your good ol’ pal Blue tells a real kneeslapper of a joke:

Someone who knows a lot about baking here: Cake mix can be used in bakeries, but they aren't expensive Like That unless it's an incredibly complex cake (the rainbow cake is not with the way she made it.) Most cakes have a thin layer of frosting called the crumb layer, it catches crumbs and makes them less likely to cause distortions in the final design. Fomdant isnt very tasty for most, so when its used it's typically a thin layer or is used more like a cake topper, something that gets removed before consumption. That frosting also seemed a bit dry, but it could've been the lighting.

Sometimes I recognize that it’s my delusional adhd-fueled optimism that makes me believe that I can do anything as long as I try…However, in this case I’m CERTAIN that I could decorate a better cake than hers. Hell, I’m confident I could remake every cake she’s posted and do it better.

simple cake recipe :3 (i did copy and paste this) For this chocolate cake, you’ll need the following ingredients. all-purpose flour sugar unsweetened cocoa powder baking powder baking soda salt espresso powder - milk - you can also use buttermilk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk oil - you can use vegetable, canola or melted coconut oil eggs - when baking, I like to use room temperature eggs vanilla extract boiling water Step-by-Step Instructions Prep. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by spraying with baking spray or buttering and lightly flouring. Whisk dry ingredients. Add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk through to combine or, using your paddle attachment, stir through flour mixture until combined well. Mix in wet ingredients. Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed and carefully add boiling water to the cake batter until well combined. Bake. Distribute cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the chocolate cake comes out clean. Frost. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and cool completely. Frost with chocolate buttercream frosting.

This video was what introduced me to your channel and I’m currently on my 3rd or 4th rewatch. Insane that you’re at 1Mil now! You deserve it!

How sad is it that she willingly charges $50-$80 for her cakes when you can buy a store bought cake for $30 and the quality is 5x better. The sprinkle cake looks like she purposely butchered it and I understand why that customer was pissed when they got it lmao.. they literally could have gone to Walmart or Target for a higher quality cake.

As someone who bakes for a living, this has been so fascinating to me. I constantly feel as if I overcharge for my cakes, no matter the time and energy I put into them, but I do charge upwards to 80 dollars depending on how big or elaborate it is. 80+ for a simple sprinkle cake with a glob of icing and sloppy "happy birthday" is outrageous. Also, the mystery brown and the red on the pans are most likely baked on cake batter... from a completely different cake.

If this was just home-made cakes for her kids, I'd think this was real nice and pretty good. But for a professional baker??? Nope.

It’s so funny to see them hitting 100k 11 months ago, seeing the near 2 million subs now

As an avid baker, there’s really nothing wrong with box mix. I don’t usually use it because I’m baking for the experience and I tend to make more unusual flavors. However, you can never match the perfected chemistry of large manufacturers for box mix. I would never tell a novice baker (or someone in a hurry) that they have to make it from scratch. Its the difference between an experiment and a guarantee. You will get a good cake if you use box. Anyway when you get a cake from a bakery you’re not paying as much for the cake as the decoration. Her decoration sucks haha

dude... the original 'Wednesday' cake is so frickin gorgeous. i can't stop looking at it, the amount of detail is INSANE. if i got a cake like that i wouldn't even be able to eat it lol it's too beautiful, it deserves to be in a museum.

i genuinely gasped when i saw that wednesday cake… like GIRL

"started pipping" *Spiderman ass slap* Got me

Baking tip: if you use milk in box mix it comes out much better. Also adding some extra vanilla to a vanilla mix, or a pinch of coffee to a chocolate mix it makes them even better ^-^

As a cake decorator at a grocery store, but by no means an expert, a couple points: * it's okay to use box cake mix as a cake maker/decorator, but you need to be transparent about it and make sure your customers know. It's also okay if you use the box cake mix as a base and then add or remove things to alter the recipe, but again, your customer should know (especially for potential allergies). Many large scale companies that sell decorated cakes actually source the cake part from a different company that provides pre-made, frozen cakes, and they taste just fine. But you can't lie to your customers about what you're using. * there are better ways to apply sprinkles on a cake. Typically, you can hold the cake in one hand (by using a cake board), and then with another hand (with a glove), you can scoop and gently pat the sprinkles onto the side. Some people do this over a large tub of sprinkles, and others do it over a long tray. Sometimes, people even chill the cake for a few minutes to get the frosting firm, and then roll the cake directly in the sprinkles. * she could have improved the appearance of the cake by piping a simple white border around the top or bottom. She could have used no sprinkles on the top to add contrast between the icing and sprinkles. She could have only done the bottom half of the sides in sprinkles. She could have forgone sprinkles altogether and simply using coloured icing to pipe a border. She could have put the sprinkles in the icing layers. She has many options. * when cooks, bakers, or many people who handle food have an option between gloves and bare hands, it's usually easier to just use your bare hands (it's better for firmer grips, and gloves can get messy because people tend to not change their gloves as often as they should). As long as you thoroughly wash your hands after touching anything other than the cake, you're good to go. That said, when working with sprinkles and icing, I don't know why she didn't opt for gloves, because that would have been easier in that instance. Professionalism isn't really the concern here, it's the health, safety, and practicality aspects that matter. * added onto the concern about lack of gloves from above, the weird red and brown stains/leakage are concerning. Cake batter being spilled is understandable, but cross-contamination between different foods is frowned upon and could even get you in hot water with the law if it triggers allergies. I also question how she washes her pans for cakes (hot water? Soap? Sanitizer? I know the food safety laws for Canada but I'm unsure about America). * many people gripe over the prices of cakes from small business owners, but they aren't cheap from grocery stores, either. Off the top of my head, from my own grocery store, if you want an 8 inch round cake (two layers) that was decorated in-store, it's going to be around $19.99 (CAN). If you want an 8 inch (two layer) cake from another company that we sell in our counter, it's between $24.99 and $34.99 (CAN). If you want something below $15, you need to buy a smaller pre-made, generic cake off the shelf. Don't even get me started on the price of sheet cakes (which can be between $35.00 and $90.00 CAN). And those prices are considered cheap in the cake economy. If you're buying from a smaller business, the cost is going to be higher based on the ingredients they buy locally, the time spent on the cake, and the competition and how popular they are. It is not surprising to pay over $70 for a custom cake. HOWEVER, after seeing the quality of the cakes this girl is selling, I think she is over-pricing her skill. I have deep respect for what people believe their work is worth, but you can get a cake from the grocery store that will look the same for substantially cheaper. * the lying and the drama ... I can't get over that part. I expect that from an influencer, but the smart business decision would be to apologize and refund the customer to make sure that your customer base remains happy with you. The cost of doing that now will be much cheaper than potentially losing tons of customers in the future. Plus, this damages the company image, and puts their trustworthiness at risk. The fact that she is purposefully antagonizing the public is not something I think she can afford - she's not a multi-million dollar company that can just fix their PR - and that's going to be the biggest business expense.

I need more content of u baking /cooking it’s truly amazing 😭💞

Someone’s probably already said this but the brown and red splattered batter in the rim is already baked. She most likely baked the red cake then re used the cake tin :). You can tell by the different texture, I hope this helped clear it up! ❤

To be fair, box mix isn't "wrong" to use, and sometimes people will dress it up with other things (e.g. use box mix but add extra chocolate or flavorings). It's really common. But, if you're gonna do that, you better be good at decorating to make the price point worth it.

That Encanto ruined door frame cake is such a powerful message to the 6-year old child, really setting the mood for the future to come, in both idea and presentation. Complete with the actual literal stretched out character jpeg.

Fun fact: you can whip store bought icing if you don't have enough or if you want a less intense icing!

Girl I just wanna say im glad you were born! Came across your channel a week ago and I'm hooked! ❤❤❤

I just wanna say that using cake mix and charging that much is fine if the cakes actually looks good. A great example is Bake My Day Mimo who uses store bought cake mix BUT her cakes decorating skills are amazing and her cakes always look so professional whether it’s a simple cake or a really extravagant cake sculpture.

I’m a home baker (just making stuff for my family and friends) and it’s baffling to me that she sells cakes like that without feeling genuinely guilty. How can you take someone’s money for something you just sloppily put together??

I love how cute FunkyFrog looks at the end, when thanking everyone for crossing 100K subs. Adorable! 1.72M subs now, yaay!!

9:22 felt like watching "nailed it" on Netflix😭💀
