An Italian Tries Grocery Store Birthday Cakes 🤣🤌🏼

This is inedible! And to taste test the most popular grocery store birthday cakes in America. I tried to get a collection of vanilla cakes from different stores. The ones that looked the most appetizing. And we're going to see if one, any of them... Stand out. Stand out to your level. Let's try! Where come from this cake? Why don't you take a guess? I'm curious to know if you can identify the cake. From Vibes. Kroger. Close. Walmart. No, it's Publix. Publix?! I had no way I was thinking this was Publix. Publix is famous for their vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. And this is what it is. Alright, let me cut a piece. I don't have other tools, but you know... You're cutting the... I'm gonna ruin that. You are not doing that! That is so dirty and yucky. It's not fun, it's actually... Alright, take a normal knife. Oh wow, it is... Super hard! I don't think it's been defrosted all the way. Wow, okay. Oh my gosh. It's a rock! So this proves to me that they've all been frozen. And that they take them out of the freezer. There we go. It's a rock. It is a rock. It looks very nicely layered. It is a rock. It's a rock. So this is definitely gonna affect the experience. Well, it is from outside for a while. I know, and we got all the cakes around the same time. So if the other ones aren't frozen in the middle, then that means that they planned better. No, but guys... In Italy... It doesn't work like that in Italy. Guys... It's a big rock. Look at this, look. Already this should be 0 out of 10. I'm gonna try and go from the outside, because I feel like... Guys, I'm gonna do two bites. One inside and one outside. Okay. So inside. My god, then. Oh, the frosting. America loves frosting. My score is... 5 out of 10. Me too. 5 out of 10. It's not as offensive as I thought it was gonna be. Maybe I need to give... I'm gonna leave this out until we try every single cake. And go back to see. And back to see. But it's not tasting bad like it looks like. Or like presentation like. It's definitely that classic vanilla frosting flavor. But it's not giving super chemicals. It's giving semi... It's giving a little bit chemicals, guys. But the cake, actually, I like it. The cake part. Even though it's hard, because it's still frozen. It's not icy. It's just like really hard and cold. It's not frozen like ice. But it's cold and hard. I don't love the frosting, but I don't hate it either. I don't hate it either, so... I will try to say that they don't deserve 5. But could be my birthday cake? And the answer is... No. Cannot be my birthday cake. Decide. Next. The next one is... Whole Foods. You can see it's Whole Foods. How homemade really good it is. This is their famous Berry Chantilly Cake. Which they describe as a delicate vanilla cake with chantilly frosting. I would like to know the price about the Whole Foods. Expensive. Publix cake was, I think, $22. But it was 8 inches. Yeah. This, I think, is more like a 6 inch. And this is $27. If I remember correctly. Yes. It's right here, the receipt. $27. So it's expensive. Let's see if it's worth it. It's cutting pretty good. It was really smooth. I like that. Beautiful. Okay, let's see. We can get the layers. This has fruit inside. Okay, as you can see. When you touch it, it's really soft. Really, really, really soft. I got to say. But now, we need to try it. So this is supposed to help you because you don't like buttercream frosting. And this is different frosting. Okay. I'll show you some fruit because that's part of the experience. You know, I need to do a torta with fruta. It's not my favorite. Really? But I do it all the time. This is a 9 out of 10. 9? Yeah. I'm sorry, I was not expecting 9 to come out of your mouth. Did you say 6? No, I was going to say 7.5. It's a 9. Okay. It's really good. Because it's lighter? It's really light. Wow, you're going for it. Oh my gosh. Wow. Try this. The frosting is really good, guys. But the panna inside. This is panna. It's Chantilly. But I need to know what that is. I think it's like a... You know, pause. We're going to see what Chantilly frosting technically is. A mascarpone. Mascarpone, that's why... And cream cheese based frosting. And it gets its signature flavor from almond extract with a touch of vanilla. So they have panna, mascarpone, cream cheese with the flavor. Buonissimo. You can tell the big difference. This kind of frosting, they should put on all the cakes. It should be the frosting. This cake is approved, so I'm going to smash it. For a grocery store, for now, this is the best. Yeah, I agree. Usually when you eat cake, you feel kind of heavy at the end. It's a light, small piece of cake. So, Whole Foods, for now, you're on the top. Who knows, maybe you'll stay. But who can beat you? Her. Definitely my baking. Yeah. But who at the grocery stores? I don't know. What is this? We came from Whole Foods. We have a sad little cake here, guys. But it's Kroger. This is Kroger. I mean, only Kroger can make this stuff. It's smelling very sugary. My God, it's just sugar. It smells really strong. The other ones, I don't think I could smell them. But this is like, whoo, hit you in the face. Are we? I already smashed it. This, you know, is for a birthday. You don't know. It could surprise you. Yeah, surprise me. Let's try. Oh my God. It's a smooth cut. It's already an improvement from Publix. Let's see how you can plate it. Let's see. Boom. And now, let's do the test. It's a small little two-layer cake. I gotta see how you see the bottom. It's like this, you know. And it's friabile. Crumbly. Yes, it's crumbly. Respect. Okay. Go ahead. I need to take a piece there. You gotta get sprinkles. Because that's part of the experience. Oh my God. From top to bottom like this. Wow, it's dry. Super crumbly. How was this? Six dollars? It was. Exactly six dollars, actually. Really? Yeah. Even the balloon refused to smash it. This is zero of the ten. Immangabile. This is an offensive cake. Offensive cake. This is immangabile. It's so dry. It looks like it wouldn't be as dry as it is. But when you put it in your mouth, it is like... Not just that. It's immangabile. Crumbly. Very sad. Very sugary. Super sugary. It's just sugar here. Like Publix I thought was a sweet cake. But this is ten times sugar. Don't buy Kroger. It's not worth it. Not even for six dollars, guys. No, no. I mean, I know the price point is high, Whole Foods. But they're selling even small things. They do sell slices. Like little small cakes. So you are on a diet too. No, no, no. This one is very... Six dollars, you cannot buy all the ingredients, but you could buy ingredients for making yourself. Maybe. I don't know. I'm not that professional. Guys, don't eat this. I think it will surprise you. This is... Walmart. And I'm already surprised because it looks... It looks beautiful. Beautiful. Actually, it looks very beautiful. It looks like a step around Whole Foods, actually. Yeah, I was thinking this was Publix. I honestly... Okay, well, you would think. You would think. See, this they described as their light ivory cake. I'm not sure. What was it? Something like that. Which they said it was a delicate vanilla cake with vanilla frosting, but just lightly iced. Lightly iced. So it's not super overpowering. I like the beige color too. Yeah, let's see how it looks like. Oh, the carving is really smooth. Really, really smooth. And... Voila. Cute. It almost looks pink. It looks like pink. Let's go taste it. This was, I think, about $9. $9? I think so. Eccoci qua. So it looks like soft, ragazzi. It looks like really, really soft. How you... It's not crumbly? It's not crumbly, so that means it shouldn't be too dry. Exactly. Now we need to see the taste. Okay, let's try this Walmart. Go ahead. I'm definitely gonna get some frosting, even though I don't want a lot, but... And it doesn't smell really sweet, like Coke. No. Ready? Yeah. I arrive to my conclusion. A 5.5. I'm giving it a 6. We are close. I'm shocked that I like it as much as I do. I like it too. I like it. The frosting is... Very sweet. Really sweet. It's my preference, Italian preference. I don't like frosting. For my preference, this is not my birthday cake, but I need to decide between what we eat until right now. They are much better than the other ones. I'm surprised to be Walmart. You wouldn't think Walmart would be putting out a good cake. Yeah. I think one of the things that saves it is that it's lightly iced. Because the icing here, it is sugary. Yeah, it's sugary. It doesn't smell as chemically and sugary and fake as Kroger said, but when you taste it, it's really sweet. The cake is good. How much did you say it cost? I think it was $8 or $9. So a 6 is Kroger, this is much better. Oh, yeah. For a couple more, you get a bigger cake, number one, and it's much better. But if the frosting was all over the cake, it would be too much frosting. Too much frosting. And I thought the neutral color would maybe trick my mind into thinking it wasn't super sugary because it's not full of those colorful reds and blues and yellows. I agree. But it's very sugary. It's really sugary. But it's not bad. Try again the inside. Without the icing. Yeah. Okay. So what I noticed for now, in my opinion, if somebody needs to buy a cake, this could be the place to go, Walmart. Shocking. Impressive. So, Walmart, you're not going to be smacked, even if you are a little bit low, because 6 is not smacking. In theory, 5, you should be smacked. Yeah. So I smack it. I smack it. You missed. I missed because it's 5.5. This little baby cake. $30. No. Half. But $10. $10. $10 from Sprouts. And it looks like it was homemade, honestly. Yeah, it looks like. Because it's just not like that perfect grocery store. I agree. It's a little lopsided. Its frosting is, you know. So it looks homemade. It looks like it would be natural because the sprinkles are muted colors. Yeah. But that might just be like packaging. Packaging. You know, marketing. Marketing. Because it's from Sprouts. It's supposed to be healthier, I think. How is the cut? It's a little tough. I'm gonna be honest with you. It's not as smooth as the other ones. Could be a little bit dried out. We'll have to see. Let's do the test, ragazzi. The famous magical test. It's not bad. It's not crumbling. I feel a little bit. It's hard a little bit. A little bit later crumbling. Compared to the other ones. You know, we need to just eat it. Is the last cake going to be smashed or be whole food? Let's try. I have my opinions already, but I'll save them. It's feeling super dry, guys. Okay. Let's try. $10. Terrible. What is that? I already give my zero to somebody else. Guys, this is the most flavorless. It's true. Like, one disappears, the sugar. What we're eating here, because that has no flavor at all. No. It's like. Ragazzi, zero. If you could call a cake watery, it would be this cake. Who made this cake if it was homemade? Same job. Wait, I'm serious. I'm so confused, because. It is terrible. Minus one, ragazzi. We got minus one. You don't. How is it possible? Like Kroger said. Yeah. Yeah, we are not the last one. I had high expectations for this, because I was thinking. Sprouts. And then this cake is four inches across. And it's $10. So I was thinking, oh. Oh, you know. Maybe it's good quality ingredients. You know. I'm not kidding you. You taste sugar. You taste sugar in the frosting. And that's it. The cake is like water. Like bland. Like there is no flavor. Ragazzi, no flavor. I don't know how to describe. The other ones had vanilla flavor. Yeah. This is like a piece of cardboard. You know, when you lose. When you're sick and you lose the taste. It's like eating cardboard. Like, only. You know you're eating something. So your brain thinks I should be tasting it. Yeah. Only the sugar make you feel. Yeah. The sugar is tasting some sugar. But the cake has. I need. Just the cake. Just. Just for science. I need to taste just the cake by itself. I already did. Just the cake. It's niente. It's nothing, ragazzi. It's. It's an alien. Did they forget to put the vanilla in the cake when they made it? I. Maybe it was a mistake. It tastes just like flour. There has to be a mistake. It's a mistake here, ragazzi. There's no vanilla flavoring. No. Zero. I'm so confused. More I eat it and more. Zero. Almost I want to go there and buy another one for make sure. Shocking. This is zero. Like minus one is the score. I didn't think anything could save Kroger. But they got lucky. Kroger. You are not in the last list. It's sprouts. I'm shocked. Well, Whole Foods. Did you want to go back to Publix? Because we needed to taste it when it's not super cold. Yes. You promised you were going to go back to Publix and give them another chance. Don't believe me. They'll save you even after six hours here. Everything is melty, but no inside. Okay, but the outside that we just ate is not cold. So it's like... No, it's not cold. It's thawed, but it's hard. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard and dry. Publix, you deserve to be in there. You're in the third place, I guess. Sima, don't be all bronze. I mean... Not a compliment. In my opinion, it's not eatable. Publix, I'm never going to buy you a cake. I'm sorry, so does that mean that we are going to go Whole Foods, Walmart... Walmart competes with Whole Foods. I mean, Whole Foods is another level from... It's another level. Yeah, don't get confused. Don't get confused, but... If you look at the list, it's Whole Foods, Walmart. And I have to say, I gave Walmart a six and I gave Whole Foods a seven and a half before, but now comparing them to everything... It's a nine. It's definitely a nine. You gotta go higher. It's a birthday cake. It's really good. It's a birthday cake. Alessio's birthday cake is... Whole Foods. Another bite of Whole Foods and... Buonissimo.
