It's been too long, so I say we delve back into more dreadful baking trends I would like to see buried but NOT mourned. - Ice cream "cakes." Stop calling it a "cake" if you haven't stuck even a single layer of sponge inside, and be mindful of the ratio of ACTUAL CAKE to NON-CAKE SUBSTANCES. Also, is the frosting on an ice cream cake not the most noxious gloop ever to film over the roof of your mouth? What is IN that? I see you all beaming over those candles. So happy to eat that damn nonsense. - Desserts gussied up to look like savory foods and vice versa. I do not mean performance art deception pieces wherein the fondant (only acceptable use of fondant) has been molded into realistic sculpture with the intent to dupe the viewer. I mean a stupid faffing hamburger cake, or the mashed potato ice cream cone. What is the appeal? Kindly select a lane before I run you off the road. Be dessert or be nothing. - Cupcakes which have reached such vertical instability you cannot even sample your goods without the tip of the frosting sneaking up your nasal passage and poking your brain. "Who wants one???" THE LAKERS. YOUR CUPCAKE OUGHT TO BE SLAMMING THREE POINTERS. IT'S SIX FOOT FIVE. Back to work. These rejections of fads that refuse to die come to mind mostly as I reject pitches for upcoming cookbooks and social media content. Follow the BettyBuddies channel on Youtube for all the content I decided WAS up to snuff. These jokers. :|
