But if it looks like s-, no ma’am.”Īfter a bit of back and forth, where Allen said to Freeman, “You are not welcome to come in my establishment anymore,” Freeman responded, in part, with, “You’ve lost a very good customer,” attaching a screenshot of Facebook comments decrying the cost of the cake.Ĭomments under Freeman’s TikTok video pulled no punches either, to say the least. The next message, which Freeman did not post in her TikTok, read, “If it looked nice, if it looked like quality work, I would gladly pay 90. During this conversation, Allen wrote, “If you wanted it decorated a specific way than what how we do them here, that’s something that would have had to be discussed.” The video concludes with screenshots of an interaction Freeman and Allen had via Facebook Messenger, which was able to review via screenshots provided by Allen. But I can actually make decent content.”įreeman's video shows the cake as she says she received it: sprinkle-covered, with “Happy Birthday Trilby” - her mother's name - written in black icing atop a swoop of white icing. “She wants to be tiktok famous, not a bad idea. I didn’t want to ruin her business, tried to squash the beef and she said no,” Freeman on TikTok) wrote in a video from April 11. I’ve been doing them for a really long time,” Allen says. “I started doing these even as a home baker. “Today I had one of the worst client experiences I’ve ever had since opening the storefront,” says Allen in the original video, which has amassed 5 million views as of publication.Īs she makes a similar cake in the video, Allen explains that a customer (later revealed to be Freeman) reached out to her through the shop’s Facebook page and wanted to order one of the bakery’s six layer rainbow cakes. The video quickly went viral, and when the customer, a woman named Ashleigh Freeman responded on TikTok, the conflict took on a life of its own - and #CakeGate was born. It all started on April 7, when Allen (known as on TikTok) posted a video about a disagreement she had with a customer over a layered rainbow cake she made.

I guess you’ll have to make your own potato cake, perhaps with a couple adjustments.When baker Kylie Allen, owner of Kylie Kakes Dessert Bar & Cafe in Princeton, West Virginia, posted a TikTok about a dispute she had with a dissatisfied customer over a rainbow birthday cake, she thought other small business owners might empathize.

Pipe on little mashed potato flowers “to make it look all professional,” garnish with ornamental tater tots and potato wedges, and carefully decorate the sides with crisped hashbrowns. The next morning, after pinching yourself and realizing this is not a dream, and you really do have a beautiful mashed potato cake waiting in the fridge, it’s time to decorate your new child. Once the cake is fully layered and frosted (with more of those supple mashed potatoes), chill it overnight, giving ample time for the potatoes to get nice and hard. Please note, this is not a single layer cake, so don’t even think about serving it with less than three layers. The genius baker notes that he “did it tall enough to look like an actual cake,” which feels very important since this is an actual cake. Top this first layer with mashed potatoes, then alternate layers until your cake is tall and beautiful. Next, decide you’re going to improvise, and create your base layer, which is made up of slices of baked potato.
