The host keeps saying 13.5 oz which is ridiculous . Is it 13 lb 5 oz or what? Thanks

If they are saying 13.5 oz, then that must be the weight.

I cannot imagine a 13 lb 5 oz cake, not at 10 inches.

I went to their website and they do not list the weight of their cakes, either.

If they are saying 13.5 ounces then I take that to mean 13 ounces plus another .5 ounces.

If it was pounds they would say 13.5 pounds....

If a ten inch cake weighs 13.5 pounds it just have rocks in it.

Just imagine how much of a stack we'd have if we bought over 13 pounds of sugar or flour at one time!

I would expect a 10" cake to weigh a pound or less. Sounds as if this one is 2.5 ounces less than a pound. I haven't been watching, but I think the host is right.

Maybe it's a mistake. The Smith Island 9" chocolate cake says net weight 5.4 lb. The Cake Boss cake is 10" with buttercream frosting. Wonder if it's 5 lb. 14 oz.

@Old Chick now, maybe I'm missing something here, but where exactly did you see or hear that is 13.5 pounds? Nothing in your post mentions pounds.

13 pounds. Must be lots and lots and lots of layers. It arrives in a 6 foot cake box.

I would like to thank the people who answered my question without the unnecessary snide remarks that some others used. Why do some people find it necessary to be negative. Not funny.

We also saw this cake presented last night and Elise said how heavy it was, just the one piece she cut. My DH looked it up and said $85 for 13.5 oz, i said it had to be a mistake.

Here's a link to an 8" cake that QVC is selling that weighs 5 pounds. So based on that, 13.5 oz doesn't sound right.

@Caligurll 13.5 oz could be an error but either way a 13 lb cake is quite the heft.

There are no weights on their website so no way to know.

@Cakers3 No way is that a 13-pound cake! I should have added that to my post.

There is a confirmation from CS in the questions on the product page and she confirmed it as 13.5 oz., but I find that very hard to believe. I looked on Goldbelly where they have a lot of his cakes and they didn't list weights, either. As thick as those layers of frosting are, I wouldn't be surprised if there is't a pound of sugar and butter in each layer! There are others questioning the weight on the product page, as well.
