[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am totally one of those "illy cake snobs".  [b]I worked at a NY bakery and loved it and so stuff from the supermarket is crap to me.  The artificial fillings (canned fruit in goo) suck and t[b]he "buttercream" is nothing more than crisco (pure lard) and sugar. [/b][/b] We get cakes from Balducci's and Alexandria Pastry Shop.  That being said, if the party is mostly for children, I think it's okay to get whatever cake the kids will like and that is within your budget.  Why spend $60 for a cake if no one will appreciate the difference between real fresh whipped cream and lard sugar frosting?[/quote]

If you worked at a bakery, you should have learned that shortening and lard are two different things.  And commercial bakeries use hi-ratio shortening, not crisco.
