After seeing such deceptions as blue jeans made of cake, a burger dessert, and a strawberry (which you would presumably call a cake fruit instead of fruit), some people on Reddit found themselves questioning whether everything is cake (perhaps themselves included). While a number of commenters expressed joy or amazement at what they considered an impressive feat of skilled artistry, for others, the excitement has clearly cooled down. "NOT THE CAKES AGAIN," wrote LanaMK8, whose complaint garnered over 300 upvotes. That attitude was echoed by Dins__Fire, who said, "Exactly my response as well." Meanwhile, DrDarkwood's feelings defied description: "Words cannot express accurately just how much I hate these videos."
But what would a cake expert say? Mint spoke with baker Nitash Lalkaka and a cake artist Joonie Tan. They indicated that fondant is the main element used to make such cakes, and both stressed the skill involved. Lalkaka also remarked that "it's more about sculpting than baking." Yet while the aesthetics are certainly one of a kind, Lalkaka went so far as to say, "Let me tell you — fondant tastes like crap."
Lalkaka appears to have something in common with part of the Reddit community: a disdain for the fondant that's often used to make realistic cakes. User AerielAbaddon quelled the hate against fondant, explaining, "this is Sideserf Cake Studio on YouTube and she uses modeling chocolate instead of fondant." All the same, the Fondant Hate subreddit was quickly evoked, highlighting the fact that 191,000 Redditors hate fondant, which many people apparently associate with these cakes.
