Although not my taste, Janet’s cake looks nice. Weezy’s looks just as bootleg as knock off bag.

WACK

Foolishness.

and…..dumbness

Janet’s cake looks like a real LV bag! Weezy’s look like one of those authenic bags!! The party looks ghetto and wack as hell!

Yes foolish , black folk cooning for a French brand that laughs at them behind their backs. SMDH. Note to black people LVMH thinks ‘we’re” classless and banal. and I am starting to believe what they say. SMDH

COONTASTIC! When will our mindsets ever grow..

Landie, I’m with you. SMH.

Those cakes are so ostentatious & pretentious.

Is it the snob in me that thought it was not so much for Janet Jackson to have such a grandiose cake?-perhaps.

But when you look at the 2 cakes Janet’s look like hers was crafted by an official cake master while the other looks un-authentic just like the knock off sold on Canal street come on…the letters look lopsided!

I am sure those cakes were nasty. The play-do they use to make those cakes tastes like pancake mix!

Who dressed TI in that Charlie Chaplin outfit? Not a good look. Tiny looks cute though (if you just look real fast at her face!) Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

People!!! they’re only cakes!!! we can have our cake look any way we choose, my goodness yall are buggin.!!!

T.I. stay reppin his girl, I ain’t mad at him, either!

AIN’T THAT JUST THE TACKIEST SH*T YOU EVER SEEN??

Please….”brides-to-be…..

Do NOT use this as your wedding cake!!!!!!!!

LOL

Anybody watch the food network chanel where they have those cake challenges? Half of the time, they don’t even make the cakes to taste good, but to only look good. I wouldn’t want to eat one of those prettier than me cakes because the makers are waaaaay too hands on with them. They use fondot (sp) and like someone said, it’s like play-dough.

Landie, I thought it, you said it!! Nouveau riche folks can sometimes be so damn tacky. You can have all the money is the world, but you sure can’t buy class…either you have it or you don’t.

How much does LV pay folks to advertise their product? Nothing. SMH.

Tiny just ain’t no pretty girl is she? I’ve been looking waiting to see a good shot of her but DAYUM money don’t even make her look good.

Jeezy: Dang…I shoulda got a 3D upright cakes…these fools are outdoing me! My cake look basic like a mug beside theirs!

I like the cakes though…I wouldn’t know how to slice into them, but uh I’d eat em just cuz I KNOW it cost alot to make them….”Y’all betta get a slice, y’all know how much these cakes cost?! Eat the cake ANNA MAES” lol

i agree with loveyoulongtyme, whites do the same thing and no one has a problem with it.

WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THE CAKE..REALLY..

heavens to betsy! why didnt i think of those cakes for my b-day?

all people do is make fun of people who got what you dont got…yea janets cake looks more realistic than weezy’s but its jus a cake so who cares…yall jus mad cause you wasnt there..the party looked fun

Don’t let my wife see that.

Here I come i want a piece!

I don’t care what no one say I still say those cakes are ostentatious & pretentious!!

Furthermore race has nothing to do with this post…if it were Britney’s Spears’ cake it would still come off as whack & gross! It’s not about the color but the character behind it that makes these cakes especially the one in the left pic {Janets on the right looks stylish and elegant}

These rappers spend all their money on fancy cakes, champagne & clothes yet next month we’ll be reading about how they havent paid their taxes & child support in umpteen years!!

Priorities need to be in order with alot of these fools! How can a rapper get blinged out grill when his teeth are crooked & jacked up? Wouldn’t you think braces would be more important?????

Since I’m at I’d like to get somethings off my chest….

Having 36 people in your wedding party is GHETTO! And a bridegroom wearing a top hat & tails with a cane is also GHETTO!

Whats with all the hatred? Child support? Only jeezy had a lil tiff with his baby mama, ti lil weezy straight. Been straight. You probably just comparing them to your wack ass dead beat baby daddy. People now days must get a grip on reality. Money make folk do strange things true, but if you had money like them, you be JUST LIKE them, and it’d be some people hating on you too.

@Essence 1

Well I guess Prince Charles’ wedding was Ghetto too huh? Ghetto people always calling something ghetto. Relax Essence. No one called one-time to hand out Ghetto tix. But submit your resume and when they need someone to judge what is and isn’t ghetto. Maybe your “real name” (’cause I just know it’s ghetto) won’t hold you back.

First he kissin baby on the lips..now (and i dont give a DAMN if its Louis) he got a PURSE for a cake lol!!!

@NAIS

Now that’s a true observation! Not a good luck. It was also a ’40s inspired party so why does he still look like he just finished hoopin’.

^^lmaoo tru tru

Lol @ everyone being upset…And Weezy’s is in the shape of a duffle bag bcuz of the “Duffle Bag Boy” song…I think it’s cute, each one had it’s own significance, did y’all not have bday cakes when you were kids?

WOW @ the Snowman cake….heyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I know Kanye’s mad at that. He’s gonna be whinning that since he’s the «Louis Vuitton Don», only him has the right to have a Vuitton cake. lol

Why oh why do people always come on this site with an ax to grind???? Every damn day, enough already!!!! (talking to you essence)

@Essence

I just noticed that you REALLY LIKE the two words ostentatious & pretentious. And you called yourself a snob

“Is it the snob in me that thought it was not so much for Janet Jackson to have such a grandiose cake?-perhaps.

Well, sweetie the definition of pretentious is snobbish. The word you chose to critize Lil Wayne is the same as the word you chose to big yourself up!

Callin yourself a snob as a way of hiding ‘hood roots. NOW THAT’S GHETTO!

^^typing to fast I meant “criticize”. Now im gonna do some work before I get fired. Being unemployed is very ghetto!

^^typing too fast I meant “criticize”. Now im gonna do some work before I get fired. Being unemployed is very ghetto!

@daone

You sound like a cornball—-NEXT!

Next time get your thoughts together & form a complete sentence.

OMG! Louis Vuitton cakes . . .so ghetto fab – I LOVE IT!

They can do ANYTHING with cakes today!

I like looking in the wedding magazines at the fabulous cakes!

^^^^^excuse her yall. She is not all there. She is damaged goods so she may come off as being a snob. Toodles, have to run.

^^^daone you sound like a gay man or ugly chick- which is it?

Anyway…the LV bag looking cake is horrible! I like the other one. And I have to agree spending money like there is no tomorrow especially when your entire wealth is based off the record industry is ghetto!

Neither…now I know you don’t want none Tab…never knew a hot chick name Tab?? Never!!

Da da daone

WTF is wrong with you? Earlier in the post you said you were going to work…Good Bye!!!

LMAO…Tab is really Essence.. I ran her outta her own screen name

With a ghetto name like Daone I can only imagine what your upbringing was like. And if you chose that ridiculous name on purpose {daone} as a moniker than it speaks volume about your intelligence.

Lol, please do not respond to me anymore you are soo beneath me you are pathetic.

I rather go to Publix and get a cake. They taste the best.

daone, damn your response would’ve been cute and even clever had you not misspelled “solace”. it’s ok. maybe next time.

Sometimes, I think Black celebs are doing thing over the top stuff so they get a lot of comments on these gossip sites. Come on, do you have invite a professional photographer to your birthday party and do you have to attend every da** party in town.

It doesn’t surprise me they are all Libras. I am gemini and all my best friends are libras. Besides Virgos, they are the most materialistic of the zodia. They always have to impress people.

Mannn,,usually I just lurk and read the comments,but TODAY! man Daone got all up in Essence/tabithas @ss..I’ll be back Im going to get some popcorn and finish watching you all !! lol

Publix cakes are good. If these people want to celebrate their birthday’s by getting special cakes made then let them, it is their b-day’s. I love that cake show on the Food channel they look really awesome but I’m not sure if I would want soemone having that much hands on work with my cake.

^^^Ha ha, I couldn’t agree with you more! An educated fool is what he is…if he’s telling the truth about having a masters degree {which I doubt}

Shell

You aint never lied about them Libras. I dated a Libra & that man loved to PROFILE like a mother. Got to give it to him he was always on point with his clothes & shoes though.

@ Tabitha “spending money like there is no tomorrow especially when your entire wealth is based off the record industry is ghetto”

I agree, the music biz is fickle a millionaire today can be a broke MC Hammer tomorrow. Heres to hoping these rap kats are investing in lucrative annuities somewhere.

SAD THING. WHY YOU WOULD USE YOUR B-DAY CAKE TO MAKE VUITTON PUBLICITY. NOW I UNDERSTOOD WHERE VUITTON IS GETING ALL MONEY HE IS USED TO BUILD HIS BIGGER BUILDING AT CHAMPS-ELYSEES.

tiny side burns come on~

Damn!

My birthday was yesterday and I thought I did it big with my cake from Wal-Mart! lol!!!!

Next year–Ima havta see about the designer cake!

(I’ll probably have to start saving for it like–RIGHT NOW!) lmao!!!!!!!!!!!

TI is definately the best thing happening for these photo’s. He’s so fine to me!!! For the sake of TI’s photo ops, I too, continue to search for – “pretty Tiny,” but I’m not getting any hits. So I’m done searching because TI loves his booh/baby mama. TI is making a statement in the industry, which is “You don’t have to hook up a gold diggin’ super model, stay with your booh.”

On to the cakes… both cakes are over the top. Black stars must stop cheesing next to cakes and material items that aren’t making them money. I just heard Forbes published a new list that put Oprah at the top of her peers – hands down- in terms of wealth and earnings. Hmmm…. I have yet to see Oprah posing next to a symbol (e.g. cake, Couirvesser, Air Force Ones, etc…) that is not making her rich – directly or indirectly. Wake Up!!!!

@ IMMAWIN

I agree with you, I wish that they would learn to invest their money instead of sometimes spending it on foolish things. And if they don’t want to invest it then they could give it to charities or something-a lot of them haven’t became businessmen yet just ghetto superstars

that cake on the left is ugly, LOL. I don’t get the purpose of either, it’s just cake, you’re gonna eat it. Only time I understand lavish cakes is of course weddings. And I hope no fool gets it in their head to get a Louis Vuitton wedding cake either.

what’s really going…that picture of Tiny and Tip looks like they ought to be on the set of “Idlewild” smh…

what the hell!!!!!!!! t.i. u my boy but this is craziness. this look like a flavor flav/play boy/chicago party. unexceptable

*reference

Now I think I’ll comment on the actual topic–

IMO–I think the reason why the cake was written off as ghetto was because the way it was made! I mean, go back and look at BOTH of them, then compare. Janet’s cake looked more professional. The other one looked…well..ghetto! It looked like it was poorly made..rushed at best! Maybe the baker was pressed for time–I don’t know but it does look a little tacky!

The idea of having a cake outside of the norm has been done for years! Some cakes I’ve seen have almost been too pretty to cut! Janet’s cake is one of them! Her’s had just a little more of a classy look about it!

This is just another way that people sometimes go over the top! When you sum it up, I could’ve done the same thing on MY birthday but the Walmart cake I had did me just fine! Lol!

*Hers

TI is probably 5’4″. I went to one of his concerts.

How can he be towering over all these people?

http://whoseamerica.blogspot.com/

Well its not like they made the damn cakes themselves !! I see alot of ppl on this site are very negative(hater)Out of all the things you can say about someone it have to be negative!!!

To all those defending them: Those cakes are tacky and ya know it. Why would you want a cake like that if it’s not for show? Tacky, tacky, tacky. It’s just too over the top. I sometimes wonder about fans of these foolish folk. It’s like they laughing in their fans faces, b/c the fans money paid for this outrageous ish. I don’t buy anything made by a rapper/singer. No Sean Jean, Derriere, Rocawho, none of that nonsense.

WTF???? WHY??????

also tiny looks soooooo old!!

whatev……they do have very little class….but enough money to clean it up if they wanna….keep getting money.

SO because you would not buy a cake like their cake it makes you somebody huh? Whats up with putting down the south? some black people can be real stupid before you go putting someone down look back at your own life and see if there is any room left AND wtf is a bootleg cake? I bet your ass could not afford it!!

Justice you sound like a broke no life having simp.

I’m from Atlanta & even I say that first cake is bootleg looking! In case you did not know idiot bootleg is something that is Un-official like the knock off Jordans you wearing right now homie!

exactly what has louis vuitton ever done for blacks to deserve being enshrined on birthday cakes? black people need to get it together. christ.

Anonymous, they’re both bootleg. Terribly tacky.

Maybe they’ll match this Louis Vuitton-themed wedding. Scroll down past Mrs. Claus to see them at http://manolobrides.com/2007/06/15/girl-do-your-thang/

This is the kind of thing that makes us as African American’s look utterly foolish, obnoxious, wasteful and ridiculous. Here we go again showing the White Man how much we as a people Worship him and his creations. is this crap really necessary to show our wealth and accomplishments? I would have been more impressed if the featured items were designed by, and paid for, to benefit African heritage and black economy, but here we go again showing that our wealth and value has to be represented by what we can afford to buy from the White industry, thus making them wealthier and more popular and desirable amongst our children as opposed to keeping the money, honor , wealth and popularity focused on our own heritage, people and pride. Last I checked there were many Black designers trying to make it mainstream but our own people wont help. Last I checked, Louis Vuitton was not of African decent.

Bunch of damn hypocritical Traitors. Aren’t there some excellent Black bakers out there that could have been paid to make a specialty cake that represents our people, heritage and culture? What the hell?

Next time one of these people claim that they are proud of being Black and are all for the prosperity of our people, ask them what is in their trash bags and if they enjoyed that cake because as far a I am concerned, it is all foolish and socially and ethnically irresponsible.

no longer a fan!!!!

I hope other impoverished Black families around the world are being informed that some of the people whom we are making richer by buying their music and products are making folks like Louis Vuitton wealthier so he and his people can afford to keep us oppressed and maybe even call us N!@@ers while we all stay broke trying to make ends meet and gotta get A homemade Duncan Hines cake to celebrate with.

Bunch of BS artists if you ask me.

Free music downloads for everyone because I’ll be damned if I use my money to pay for a cd that will make these Black artists richer so they can in turn make my oppressors wealthier and more powerful.. Come to think of it, They can keep their music, I dont even want it for free…..Stankin hypocrites.
