This is actually very funny.

A decorated supermarket cake costs $400-500 these days?

(They may. I usually make a cake at home.)

Oddest part is when she starts talking about how "naughty" her guest is...for wanting to toss some sprinkles on the cake.

I can only assume "toss some sprinkles" is a euphemism of some sort. [Angst]

Um, no, a beautiful professional wedding cake may cost that much, but not a supermarket cake. They cost about $30-40 fully decorated. For the cost of the cakes, cookies, and "embellishments" she bought, she could have had a professional cake. And it would not have looked so atrocious.

I CANNOT STAND her show to begin with, but that just... took the cake.

Wow, she managed to take a $40 cake and turn it into a cake you'd have to pay people to have at their party.

It wouldn't have been so bad if she'd left the cupcakes off and used the butterfly OR the ladybug OR the dog. Too busy!

Oh man. I'd never heard of this woman before. She's awful.

Or at least peeled the paper off the cupcakes.

Oh. My. Word.

It looks like they actually took the Kwanzaa cake off, it was that bad.

Also, she does not seem to get that the whole "cultural sensitivity and inclusion" thing goes further than just throwing together some crap that goes along with your understanding of some other religious group's holiday.

For instance she does not seem to understand that Hanukkah is not "the festival of whatever lights you feel like throwing around"; there are actual specific, you know, requirements related to what a menorah is.

(And how do you miss that a Star of David has 6 points, not 8, anyway?)

Don't you think a lot of these reviews sound the same? I made this for ________! It was great! Gone in a flash!

That makes me weep on the inside. Just a little bit.

The best part about the Kwanzaa cake is not the Corn Nuts, no, and it isn't the full-sized candles jammed in the top. It's the apple pie filling poured straight from the can into the hollow center of the cake.

Oh, my. Girl has a fixation on filling the center of angel food cakes. *shudder

My, I never thought of that, but it is so true! You know what Freud would say about that...

Found this on the comments to the video: More on the Kwanzaa cake. Laughed. So. Hard!

A cake like that probably does. I mean, let's face it, how much would it cost for you to violate your own code of ethics and make that monstrosity?
