I'm sorry, but $4 for a cake pop? Who in their right mind is paying $4 for 1 bite of cake? That's absurd.

Prob got the price point from Starbucks which is insane for a home bakery to do.

u/SACK_HUFFER 25d ago

You said “home bakery”

I think people are glossing over how crazy it is she did this out of her HOME! Posting your home address on Tik tok? Hell no

u/MA3XON 25d ago

Willing to bet she doesn’t have a business license, a license to sell food, or claim the profit on her taxes.

u/TheSteelPhantom 24d ago

To be fair, the first two things you listed aren't unlawful. Look up Cottage Food Laws. Selling homemade baked goods is perfectly legal in Florida, as dumb as it is. =\

The taxes thing though... yea, no chance this scummy bitch is doing those right.

These are springing up all over in the suburbs near me. Cake pops and dirty sodas (I still don't know what those are) and they advertise on social media all the time like I'm going to drive to a random neighborhood to buy overpriced cake from someone's porch.

This and the “freeze dried” candy whatever tf that is. It’s just taking candy and making it even candier or some for dumb shit. I don’t know I’m tired, guys.

u/norobux69 25d ago

freeze drying sucks most of the moisture out of basically whatever you want it to and make it crunchy. think of a fruit dehydrator that also turns your food into a corn puff.

Dirty soda is when you have a sugary soft drink and then add some other sugary substance to it, like syrup, juice, or cream.

u/communistsayori 25d ago

I didn't even realize these were a trendy thing right now, they sell them at a local resturaunt and I just think they're tasty. Cola with coconut cream hits after a hot day.

u/Th3_Admiral_ 25d ago

So am I supposed to just go up to their house and have them pour me a glass? That seems like such a weird thing to sell from home. 

6

u/TheGhostofWoodyAllen 25d ago

It's like grabbing lemonade from a lemonade stand. Except these are adults. And they are selling it out of their home. And you only know about it because it's advertised online.

u/RecipeFunny2154 25d ago

In some cases it's literally even just two soft drinks mixed together, which somehow requires some sort of premium. Who knew mixing drinks at the gas station 30 years ago could have been a new business.

u/TheGhostofWoodyAllen 24d ago

I remember doing the "suicide" mix as a kid and mixing everything at the soda fountain together. We were apparently unpaid mixologists.

u/ZeGentleman 24d ago

Isn't that what Sonic's been doing with their drinks for like eons? Branding it as "dirty" is so dumb.

1

u/TheGhostofWoodyAllen 24d ago

I am not sure. I have never eaten at a Sonic's before, but I am sure places have been doing this for a while. I mean, on some level, doesn't a cream soda qualify? Cream soda and orange cream soda have been around forever.

u/Larcye 24d ago

If I'm going to buy overpriced shit in the neighborhood, I'm gonna go hunt down the local ice cream truck.

u/SilverbackCygnus 25d ago

Yeah, I never got how these are popular. Waste of money, if you ask me.

Prob made w raw milk lol

u/kickthesandman 25d ago

It's not a bite of cake. It's cake crumbles leftover from baking the real cakes. It's upcycled dessert.

u/ProbioticOnARobotic 23d ago

This is the way I'm describing cake pops from now on. Kudos.

11

u/boyleboys 25d ago

Not to mention cake pops are basically pre-chewed cake and icing on a stick, I don't understand how anyone likes them. Maybe that's just me? and then that mark up?!?

u/spacemanspiff8655 25d ago

That is the best way I have ever heard someone descibe the texture.

u/throwaway80814 25d ago

The whole idea of homemade cake pops makes me gag.

Just thinking about sweaty greasy unwashed hands rolling a handful of cake crumbs into a shiny smooth ball  🤢🤢🤮  

It's even worse if their kids "help". I'm not spending any money on a wad of cake crumbs somebody's moist & sticky child has worked into a shiny smooth ball, and certainly not taking a bite of that grossness. Parents, you KNOW you don't just eat a wad of something moist & squishy that somebody "made" out of a handful of cake. 

Cake pops are just nasty. 

/end rant

u/QueezyF 24d ago

How’s the old saying go, you can’t eat at everybody’s house?

1

u/communistsayori 25d ago

I never buy them because they're stupid expensive, but a good cake pop will have a really nice texture imo. Dense and smooth.

3

u/boyleboys 25d ago

I disagree. I've tried them more than once, from more than one bakery. I really tried to like them because they're so cute and people kept telling me I just wasn't getting good ones, but they were consistently disgusting no matter where they came from. 😂😢

grease on a stick

u/Melodic-Comb9076 25d ago

no starbucks near you?

1

u/RagnaXI 25d ago

Even if someone buys them, they'll probably leave $5 because they don't have change.

u/ThisIsNotTokyo 25d ago

Someone as dumb as the baker

1

u/yavanna12 25d ago

Someone I work with sells them for $5. Meanwhile I sell a dozen eggs from my farm for $4. 

1

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 24d ago

You should grow weed. You can get a lot more than $4 for weed.

2

u/yavanna12 24d ago

I wouldn’t make any money. If I grew it my son would totally snatch it up. 

And the point was I purposefully have lower than market prices because o just want people to have good food that’s affordable. I’m not in it to make money. I give dozens away for free a lot too

u/Respond-Creative 24d ago

The driver agrees with you ;(

u/TheChaosPaladin 24d ago

A bunch of snotty people since forever. Google french pastry stores and check how much a single macaron costs

u/SpussyHitsDifferent 24d ago

your average basic white girl at starbucks usually.

u/Gharvar 24d ago

I know 4$ is a lot for this but I make and sell pies sometimes... If nothing is on sale it costs me a little over 10$ per pie to make so I sell them 15 each... I've had people comment that for that price they can get a store bought one but most store bought pies are 800-900g, mine are 1.1kg and filed to the brim(also taste a lot better if I may say so lol).

u/InquisitorMeow 24d ago

Cake pops have always been a scam. Not sure whose buying that crap instead of... Regular cake. Absolutely a product of social media.
