<p>Wow! That pretty much stinks considering that when I was trying to figure out how to price my cakes, it was an artical that Buddy wrote that helped me. His advise was not to be the cheapest cake maker in the area and one of his reasons is because of what it would do to the other cake makers/ bakeries in area. Kind of like what selling you home to the lowest bidder does to the value of the neighboring homes. I hope he remembers his own advise......</p>

<p> I have been to Carlos Bakery, The cakes are pretty plain, nothing like the ones you see on his hit series. I was kinda disappointed. I have tasted some of his cake, nothing to write home about. But his Cannolis are to die for especially the choc covered ones...I have never frozen one of my cakes covered with fondant. I do know they sweat alot wonder how they are going to deal with that issue. </p>

<p> As for Buddy - if somebody wants to pay $27.99 (Yup! I looked it up!) for a two layer cake with bright green or yellow icing with a couple fondant decorations, let them. Personally I don't think they will do it twice. Who knows what they will be charging for a fondant covered cake - according to the article I found that still being discussed. People are still going to want a personalized cake in the theme and colors they want...I really don't think we have much to worry about.</p>

<p>Oh June that person with the neighbor is me! y 'freind' across the street tells me in one breath that I don't charge enough but then tells everyone else she can't afford my cakes. AAAGGGHHH. Fine and dandy when I made them for her and never got paid...no more! She takes advantage of all our neighbors so I guess I shouldn't feel so bad.

I think Buddy is "pulling a Kris" too, taking advantage of his public image to make a buck. What a shame. I'm not worrried about my orders, which makes me feel good. I am so fortunate to have people in my area that enjoy my work and share my info...no frozen cake can ever beat the quality, attention and detail that we put in.

<p>It is already very competative out there. Since Buddy is riding on the popularity vote those cakes will sell. One thing to remember is the cakes that I personally make are one of a kind as I design for the client, as well as most of the decorators out there.</p>

<div class="xg_user_generated"><p>Well not all grocery stores are alike. I happen to know for a fact that the bakery at the grocery store I shop at bakes their cakes fresh everyday. Now I know it is from cake mix, but it is still fresh made. They make their own icing too. I don't particulary like it, too greasy for me, but they still do make it fresh everyday. My son use to work in the bakery dept when he was in highschool. He didn't work in that area, put out the bread, buns, etc. on the shelves, but he knew the decorators. So I know they made fresh.</p>
