I guess no one at food network knows what the word “recipe” means.. Sad, really.
Substituted tulips for daffodils, turned out awful.
Semi-Homemade? This isn’t even REMOTELY homemade! Everything on the ingredient list is “store-bought” or “bakery-bought”… How does Food Network stand behind this?
We’re on to you, FN…
“Her trademark 70/30 philosophy combines 70% ready-made products with 30% fresh ingredients.”
So… where is the 30%?
No actual baking involved this is not a recipe.
It’s pointless to say this cake is delicious because NONE OF IT IS MADE BY YOU! It’s entirely dependant on where you buy the cakes to stack on top of eachother and pretend your a “chef”. If I went to Macdonalds and bought a cheeseburger and a big mac and smushed them together thats not a “recipe” by any stretch, and neither is this joke of a cake.
This is the best recipe and the cake turned out moist and delicious. Everyone wanted to learn my secret.
I was shocked they call this a recipe. Semi-homemade should still have the “homemade” aspect – and that needs to go beyond construction of the final project.
Apparently Angelina Jolie made this for Maddox birthday. It just goes to show you that you can switch up the theme and get it to be for any occasion.
Seriously, if you are going to spend this much money on a birthday cake, why not pay a bakery or private baker to do the work for you and actually make something that is cohesive?? And it’s assuming an awful lot to think anyone can walk into a bakery and get yellow and white iced cupcakes, an unfrosted sheet and round cake, AND daffodil cookies!!!
And tubs of fake frosting?? GROSS!!! Even the “Cake Doctor” says to take the effort and make a simple buttercream to frost that boxed cake. How hard is it to dump some butter and powdered sugar, a little vanilla, in a bowl and beat it for a couple of minutes, if you are actually going to bother FROSTING the cake anyway??
I can’t believe she actually has her own show.

This “recipe” is a waste of space. This is not a recipe and where in the world are you going to find daffodil cookies. Please. Can I get -stars.
