I ordered ONE OF MY CAKES from 1 vs. 5 STAR BAKERY - Ep. 2 Avocado Cake

Of alllllllllll the cakes on my channel, which one do you think I should challenge them to next???

About the 5 star cake: yes, there were flaws with the spray coloring, the dowel was visible on top, and there was a smudge on the fondant in back. But I get the impression that the bakery was attempting to make the avocado look as realistic as possible. You pointed out that the coloring on the pit looked splotchy, but I think that was their intent, as real avocado pits are pretty splotchy. I even think they deliberately did a choppy job with the edges of the dark green fondant. Avocado peels have rough edges when you slice them open. I like that they included the stem stub on top, even if it feels like a missed opportunity to use that to cover the dowel. Having said that, however, I’m highly disappointed they didn’t fill the pit with any goodies. Especially if the video you sent them with your order specifically showed you doing that with yours. I don’t think it would’ve mattered if they put something different inside, the fact that its just a hollow shell is just downright tragic. To address some of the replies: yes, I understand that the first priority of these cakes (and ultimately the purpose of the video) is to see how closely the bakery can replicate her original creation. I was simply surprised that she looked at what appeared to be a creative flair that the 5 star added to theirs, and then treated it like technical flaws. She's been known to still commend some bakeries for doing things a little different, even if it's not what she asked for, and I felt she didn't do that this time.

I actually like the rough edging on the 5* one as it makes it look more like an actual avo. Plus I honestly think the spray splatters add for an extra bit of texture and shading, I honestly assumed it was on purpose until you pointed it out, and even then I'm still not sure it's accidental as you can see similar along the bottom too. I thought it was shading, as from a distance it gives it some added pop. Only downside is not having anything in the pit when the video showed it with something.

I can’t imagine making that second cake and letting it leave the store for $300!! The fondant on the back was literally broken

Honestly, I think the 5 star went more towards giving it a slightly realistic look. So the 'airbrush splotches' are supposed to be there since an actual avocado would have those speckles as well. And the splotchy paint on the chocolate sphere is like how an actual pit would look. The description of the cake made me want to go and get a cake asap though, haha.

loved the video! was it just me who was disappointed that they didn't smash the second avocado stone tho? love from london ❤️

"I shouldn't have to applaud a cake standing up straight, but this is where we are in this series." 😂😂

Not breaking open the 1 star pit is going to haunt me all day. I get that it wasn't chocolate or maybe even hollow, but I wanted to see what happened and what it was.

The giant pit on the 1 star bakery cake LOOOOOOL i'm losing it

I get that the smooth fondant edge looks nicer, but technically a fresh cut avocado has a rough edge!

The pit in the 5* cake looked super realistic! That is what avocado pits look like. The airbrushed skin also looked realistic, rather than be all one green color.

I think the splotchiness of the avacado pit on the 5 star one was intentional. It looks like a real avacado pit

Everything that 5 star bakery does is EXCEPTIONAL. I loved their summer ice cream sundae cake, and their naughty Santa cake too. THE TALENT IS UNREAL.

I think the pit of the avocado was supposed to look splotchy. It was their way of making it more realistic, cause a lot of the time avocado pits look patchy, especially if you leave them out for a tiny bit.

The back texture of the avocado of the 5 stars store is super. Even better than her original cake. Also the wooden board is beautiful as well.

The 5 star one was perfect in my opinion. The small imperfections just made it more realistic. Only disappointing nothing fell out the chocolate ball.

They roughly cut the fondant for the front of the 5 star cake because it looks more realistic

I genuinely can't believe how much cakes cost in America/Canada. It's insane compared to here in the UK. I got an insanely decorated, intricate cake for my father's birthday, big enough for 40 people for about 60 pounds. That would be, what? $100

I really like the jagged edges on the edge of the fondant at the front of the 5star because it mimics how a real avocado would be

What about the other belly? Lol this has to be my favorite cake series. I love seeing what you get and so wish I lived by the 5 star bakery! 😋 yum!
