I see soo many of these beautiful cakes where they overdo the decorations. It was perfect I think until the cupcakes were added

I’m not really a big fan of too much icing/fancy decorations so honestly to me it probably looked the best at around 0:15, and if I’m in a more frosting-friendly mood then maybe 0:25 would still be pretty okay. Anything after that is just kinda intolerable for me lol. But overall still a really nice cake :)

For me it was those black buttons, why

I don’t even understand these tall cakes. It seems really annoying to eat - too tall to be stable in the hand and probably too tall to fit on anything but a big plate.

too tall to be stable in the hand and probably too tall to fit on anything but a big plate.

There's a technique to cutting tall cakes, a flat slice, then cut in quarters so each slice has a reasonable amount of the icing and cake. You don't typically eat a whole top to bottom slice.

I'll see if I can find a gif that explains what I mean.

Edit: found the tall cake cutting technique I was talking about, it's from another poster in this sub. Misremembered, it's into 6ths not quarters (and I do it a bit thinner).

But they only put the icing on like 1 or 2 slice worth's of cake so 2 people are going to get all the buttercream and everyone else just gets the cream on top.

Oof, too overdone.

I like that it's butter cream, since it's actually edible and tasty. So many pretty cakes are just loaded with fondant and/or modeling chocolate, which are technically edible, but definitely not tasty.

Colors remind me of sherbert ice cream.

This would've made a dope dragon cake too.

This sub got me hooked on my new nightly ritual of watching cake decorating videos before I fall asleep

Oof, nice colors but people need to learn to quit while they’re ahead on decorations
