television used to be 80% about cakes, everyone making cakes. now it's about "concepts"
And now even the cake shows are about concept cakes, they’re like make a cake that evokes a mood, I’m like why don’t you make a cake that isn’t 90% fondant you chuckle fucks
I was watching episodes of Julia child the other day and she had Martha Stewart on - Martha in her early twenties I think, practically brand new - and she makes a wedding cake. And it's buttercream, no fondant ANYWHERE, with all the edible fake fruit made from marzipan instead of rock hard fondant shit
It was really pretty and actually looked extremely tasty, and a cake that's actually wholly edible and not covered in "technically edible" rock hard sugar clay is so nice compared to the current Fondant Everywhere rule everyone seems to follow
I guess if you don't like marzipan (or cake) it's still only technically edible, but still, but still
