The video is a comparison of two cakes made by two different bakeries. The cakes are both designed to look like a Crayola crayon box, with the theme of "back to school". The first cake was made by a professional bakery and the second one by an amateur baker.
The amateur baker had the idea to create a cake that resembled a Crayola crayon box from a video by Raphael Gomez. The cake was made using buttercream icing and had a technique where the buttercream was piped and transferred onto the cake, which is not commonly done. The cake also had fondant details with crisp edges.
The professional bakeries were both contacted to make the cake, and the amateur baker was surprised to see that they were able to convince the bakeries that their buttercream looked like fondant or an edible image. One of the bakeries, Five Star, agreed to do it in buttercream, while the other, One Star, insisted it had to be an edible image.
The amateur baker was disappointed that the professional bakeries didn't attempt to recreate the logo in buttercream, which was the most challenging part of the cake. The bakeries used different techniques for the cake, with Five Star using a paper towel with texture and One Star using fondant.
The amateur baker was surprised by the quality of the cakes, especially considering the price. The cake from Five Star was described as almost a nine out of ten, while the cake from One Star was described as having a flawless exterior but a disappointing interior. The amateur baker felt that the price difference between the two cakes didn't justify the quality difference.
In terms of taste, the amateur baker found the cake from One Star to be sweeter and more flavorful, while the cake from Five Star was described as tasting like a box cake mix.
The amateur baker concluded that while the cake from One Star had a better taste, the cake from Five Star had better details. The amateur baker suggested that the bakeries should rethink their cake designs and the time they spend on them, especially considering the price.
