I love Google.

I'd say that's a very loose interpretation of the original.

Life begins at 325° F, and, yes, that IS powdered sugar in my hair.

I should have kept reading down.  I have been wandering around the initial site trying to find wedding pictures to see the final cake.  Way to go Lady for finding it.  At least they got the colors right.  That seems to be about it though.  If it sounds too good to be true.......

See..there you go. Not one thing at all like the original photo.  I'm not dissing her cake at all...it's just insane when people make claims like that- copying that cake for only $340. Those two cakes only have one thing in common- they're made from cake. That is about it.  

 

That's like comparing a BMW 7 series with a Honda Civic (entry model)....nothing wrong at all with the Civic but you just can't compare it to the first car. 

 

Ps- great google detective work there! :)

We had the same thought, I googled some things off her bio, but had to go fill my cakes, and I got back on here hoping someone had found it! You go, Lady!

I just have to say, I love the "fix" of putting a band of fondant around the cake, to hide whatever mess there was at the bottom. Oh, and ,"Holy Ponderous folds of fondant, Batman!"

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

Whoa o_O.... Well the bow kinda looks similar, kinda sorta. I'm sure there was lots of champagne.

Not dissing the cake but holy heck, I had to change my glasses to check I was seeing correct. Yep, I do believe there is some disco action happening there. 

 

I sincerely HOPE the bride and groom were happy with it. 

 

My niece had 2 separate friends volunteer to do a tier each for her wedding cake.  One was magnificent and the other.....beyond words.  I had flown in from interstate and kept looking at the cake wondering a) what had gone wrong with one tier, b) if to call an ambulance for it.  Thank goodness I kept my thoughts to myself. Kudos to my niece, she kept smiling, no-one knew her diappointment.

Now, why can't I edit? The button is gone in both my laptop and my iphone. I wanted to be a little more CCC (Cake Central Correct) and edit before someone edited for me, and I can't!!

Well, there it is on the last one...Does it "time out'? I have never had it do that before....Curious....It should NEVER time out like that.

Wow! That does look like a $340.00 cake :0
 

post #27 of 174

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha *wipes tears*

I would price that at around £1200, so $1880. Sound a lot in dollars, but I think it's more like for like, something they sell here for £9.99 you can buy in the US for $9.99

Thank you for digging up that cake. Curiosity was killing me last night.

I was told if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all so ...

Well, it meets my expectations of a $340.00 version of that cake.thumbs_up.gif

In her blog she did say that she was going to tweak the design to make it her own.  So she wasn't expecting an exact replica.  Even so.......

This is exactly what I mean when I say, to my clients, "no, you may get A cake for less but you won't get this cake.

It's never "just cake!"

 

You may get a cake for $way to little but you won't get this cake!
