TikTok bride ridiculed for baking her own wedding cake – “Some things are better off bought”

Whether or not you perceive marriage as a holy unity or a proud declaration of love among two people, the majority of us can agree that our wedding day is one of the most special and highly-anticipated milestones in our lives.

That being said, these days an engaged couple typically spends a fortune as well as hours on end in preparation for the big event – but the truth is that not everyone wants to or can afford to hold a dreamy wedding, similar to what we read about in fairytales.

One bride who shared how she whipped up her own wedding cake a few days before she tied the knot was ridiculed by users on TikTok.


Equipped with a humble Betty Crocker Rainbow White Cake Mix, the bride can be heard saying: “I’m getting married in two days, and today I’m baking our wedding cake.”

A few seconds into the video, the bride can be seen struggling to stack and ice the cake before completely covering the entire dessert with a generous amount of hundreds and thousands. For the final touches, she sticks a giant topper in of their last name and happily presents her homemade creation to her viewers.

But not everyone was impressed with her idea – and the critics weren’t shy about making their disapproval evident either.

“Is this a joke???? That’s a birthday cake.” one user hissed.

“Why didn’t you practice first?” asked another.


“You could have at least watched a YouTube tutorial.” argued a third, while a fourth said: “Some things are better off bought.”

“I can’t help but wonder if your guests are having sandwiches for dinner…” wrote another.

“This was downright horrible.” a sixth brutally judged.

“I thought you were a professional baker and I was expecting this to turn out so good…” added one more.

But many more came to the bride’s defence, with one sharing: “This is exactly why I don't want a wedding. Everyone JUDGES EVERYONE!”

“I absolutely LOVE this idea! Every wedding cake I've tasted is s*** but I bet that this would taste amazing.” chimed another.

“As a baker, I love this! it stands out and it's not something so generic that you see at a ton of weddings! You did an amazing job!” praised a third.

“Tune out the haters! Looks good and is a great money saver.” reassured a fourth.

“I love and appreciate anything homemade. In my opinion, this is such a fun and tasty way to provide your guests with something you personally made.” wrote another.

“I like it! You made it yourself and that's awesome! I got married at a courthouse and threw a huge party it was so much fun! Congratulations!” added a sixth.


“I’m not even going to criticise because I wouldn’t be able to do this myself even if I tried. Great job!” commented one more.

Well good on you, I hope the wedding was wonderful. The very best wedding cake, not ours by the way was a homemade chocolate mud cake, very large, covered in thick choc cream icing and dotted very generously with delightful edible real flowers. It was a hit, a treat and a joy to remember.

I love the idea of the bride making her cake. At least you can eat that one. I was married 41 years ago and had the traditional wedding cake which tasted not nice at all. I would love a slice of that cake!!!
