Semi-Homemade? This isn't even REMOTELY homemade! Everything on the ingredient list is "store-bought" or "bakery-bought"... How does Food Network stand behind this?

We're on to you, FN...

"Her trademark 70/30 philosophy combines 70% ready-made products with 30% fresh ingredients."

So... where is the 30%?

It's pointless to say this cake is delicious because NONE OF IT IS MADE BY YOU! It's entirely dependant on where you buy the cakes to stack on top of eachother and pretend your a "chef". If I went to Macdonalds and bought a cheeseburger and a big mac and smushed them together thats not a "recipe" by any stretch, and neither is this joke of a cake.

This is the best recipe and the cake turned out moist and delicious. Everyone wanted to learn my secret.

I was shocked they call this a recipe. Semi-homemade should still have the "homemade" aspect - and that needs to go beyond construction of the final project.

Apparently Angelina Jolie made this for Maddox birthday. It just goes to show you that you can switch up the theme and get it to be for any occasion.

Seriously, if you are going to spend this much money on a birthday cake, why not pay a bakery or private baker to do the work for you and actually make something that is cohesive?? And it's assuming an awful lot to think anyone can walk into a bakery and get yellow and white iced cupcakes, an unfrosted sheet and round cake, AND daffodil cookies!!!
And tubs of fake frosting?? GROSS!!! Even the "Cake Doctor" says to take the effort and make a simple buttercream to frost that boxed cake. How hard is it to dump some butter and powdered sugar, a little vanilla, in a bowl and beat it for a couple of minutes, if you are actually going to bother FROSTING the cake anyway??
I can't believe she actually has her own show.

This "recipe" is a waste of space. This is not a recipe and where in the world are you going to find daffodil cookies. Please. Can I get -stars.

I don't have cable TV at home, so I'm not familiar with this show, but I'm on vacation and saw this in my hotel room. What a mess of a cake. Who would ever put a round cake on a rectangular cake, plop some more stuff on it, and think this is a good way to go in an upscale restaurant? And 8 servings? Is this woman insane? Just the cupcakes alone would be 8 servings. Then to add a half sheet cake, an entire round cake, and 12 cookies . . . just who is this woman feeding?

I have read other comments saying that this recipe is too expensive and too big. Honestly, you can see that it will serve many people. I baked the cake myself and just purchased cupcakes and instead of cookies used small baking candies. My eight year old decorated the cake and it was great.
