@hopi - All of Buddy's cakes are ridiculously expensive and have been for years; now that he's found fame on TV, he can charge whatever he likes. It's not price gouging—it's just the price a customer pays for buying a celebrity's cake.

If you can afford it.  Why not?  Can't take money with you when dead.

I can't stand Buddy and wouldn't eat any of his "stuff" if it was free.

I agree, that is an exorbitant price for that pretty cake. I have everything in my pantry needed to make it, as the ingredients are not exotic, so I think I'll make it a fun, rainy day project.😁

 

I actually went to Youtube and see many festive cakes that are  definite showstoppers similar to it-some much more ornate and labor intensive than others. Having said that, if price is not an issue, convenience is needed, and baking skills are lacking, then I think it's a good idea.😊

I guess there are people living in places where there are not excellent bakery shops.  There is an Italian bakery a town away from us that sells delicious pastries.  Each year we buy a huge platter of assorted Italian cookies for the family.  It is heavenly and worth every dime.

I'm not fond of Buddy or sprinkles, so I'll pass.

'Tis the season for bitter complaints about the prices of QVC foods people are apparently being forced to buy.
