BAKER SLAMMED FOR PUTTING BALLOON IN TAYLOR SWIFT-THEMED BIRTHDAY CAKE
Amateur baker Consuelo Rodriguez (@consuelo_e) posted some video of her process last week. A customer asked her to make a “Blank Space” cake for her daughter’s 14th birthday.
The “Blank Space” or “broken heart” cake has been popular pretty much since the music video came out, and instructions for how to make it can be found on YouTube, TikTok, and various baking blogs.
In the 2014 video for the Taylor Swift song, the singer sits on a bed and stabs a white, heart-shaped cake. A splatter of red shoots out.
A lot of the feedback on her cake was negative and focused on the fact that she used the balloon method—and didn’t wear gloves.
Others thought the cake was cute.“The comment section did not pass the vibe check,” one person wrote. “I think you did incredible!!??”
