I feel like I recall seeing a scandal where some pro cakemaker owned up to mostly just using cheap box mix for the cake itself and the expense was mainly for the labor/decorations and other bakers backed them up and yeah I get that realistically a lot of time can go into decorating a cool cake so considering hourly wage for a skilled artist it makes sense that it'd be expensive even with cheap ingredients but lmao at paying a couple hundred bucks for what is at the end of the day betty crocker.

the real hosed up thing about box cake is that they could sell them complete in box and shelf stable at the same time but some bullshit marketing execs said "nah let people add the eggs so they still feel like they're doing something" and now we have to have eggs and boxes it's an absurd inconvenience in this modern world

In Training posted:TF kind of cakes are you buying Did you see that post about the poo poo breakfast sandwich and coffee for $20? A cake from a retail bakery around here is easily $90 for a a 6” cake that is pre-decorated and was sitting in their fridge/freezer. Custom cakes are $300+ and even home bakers charge around that too. poo poo is unnecessarily expensive a here mainly because people pay it. I don’t pay it, gently caress that.

if someone fired me without warning and then shortly after realized they had made a mistake and tried to rehire me I would be incredibly unscrupulous about bilking enormous sums of money from them while ensuring I never delivered anything of value.

Dude even a 10ft bass boat takes constant upkeep. It's not America that makes boats expensive. I mean it does, but boats themselves are money sinks because of all the water.
