A wedding cake holds immense significance in a marriage ceremony. It is a lasting memory that leaves an impression on both the guests and the couple. Naturally, couples want the best cake possible within their budget. Usually, pastry chefs are trusted with the task of creating the perfect wedding cake. But what happens when the bride herself is a pastry chef? Would she take on the challenge or hire someone else?

Lilly Kinman, a pastry chef, found herself in this predicament while preparing for her wedding to Dennis Mendoza in Altamonte Springs, Florida in May 2023. To make her big day even more special, Kinman decided to bake her own wedding cake. The process was captured on camera, which caused quite a stir online.

On May 21, 2023, a video was shared by hairstylist Adrianna Thomas, showing Kinman baking her wedding cake. Despite being dressed in a white robe with her hair and makeup done, Kinman enthusiastically tackled the task with the help of her bridesmaids. The video garnered over 7 million views and more than 1600 comments.

However, not all the comments were positive. Trolls critiqued the cake’s appearance, questioning why Kinman didn’t hire a professional and suggesting that it looked messy. On the other hand, many people praised Kinman for her resourcefulness and admired her determination to make her wedding cake herself.

Supporters of Kinman applauded her decision, highlighting that she was the only one who could perfectly bring her vision to life. They acknowledged the effort and love she put into the cake, making it all the more special for her spouse. Looking back, Kinman will be able to proudly say that she made her own wedding cake.

It’s important to remember that everyone has their own tastes and preferences when it comes to aesthetics. While some may not have found Kinman’s cake to be visually appealing, others appreciated the personal touch and effort she put into it.
