People think this cake made from Custard Creams takes the biscuit – 15 nice takedowns
On the internet, you’re never more than ten clicks away from a cake recipe – or a funny cat video – but not all cake recipes are created equal, and some are only masquerading as cake. When a food and design account posted a video of a “cake” being made, we doubt they could have predicted the, mostly negative, reaction of the internet.
This is the clip that’s been causing all the trouble.
Our custard cream, no-bake mirror glaze cake ticks all the boxes for a super easy showstopper. @tastemadeUK

These are the most horrified reactions you’ll ever see to a cake.

This is an abomination. I'm probably gonna make a better version but the bar is hella low here. https://t.co/LbC92awVcj

I don’t understand how you’d go to all the trouble of making TWO kinds of icing, one of them a marbled glaze, but couldn’t be arsed to make a sponge cake. It’s the baking equivalent of wearing pajamas to the shop in a full face of makeup. https://t.co/WXliBMB0IK
