Default Is this guy for real?

Ran across this website and I just wanna smack this dude! But then there's a part of me that wants to order this book to read for entertainment.

Huh. Interesting. I wonder what's the big secret that he's charging $40 to find out? Are there really that many brides getting cakes like the ones he described?

Geeze, I'd think the solution would be "do your homework on the baker" and "don't take a picture from a bridal magazine to your friend who just finished the Wilton classes".

Seems like a scam to me. But, I dunno...maybe you guys feel differently about it....

He def. has "scam" written all over his face and website! Ugh...I just couldn't stomach watching his video clip so I turned it off after the first 10secs. But like you, I'm antsy to find out just what the "real secrets" are, if they do indeed exist! Perhaps since he's been in the biz. for so long, he's really just documenting all the scams he did! Hmmm...just thought I'd share. I wouldn't be surprised if some brides did start asking me those silly questions. "What happens if you get sick?"..."well, hon, I guess if I'm lying on my death bed, you won't be getting a wedding cake outta me." Seems like common sense to me.

I like that he kept referring to himself as a wedding cake expert. Hmmmm. How do you get that title? Eating a lot of cake? And how many brides did he say he talked to? Yeah, riiiiiiiiight.

Well, here's a site I found. He did seem like an actor/promoter. Pretty good that he can sell cakes for $1.75 a serving. I heard that's what some bakers get here at the banquet halls.
Omaha wedding cakes - The Cake Gallery - ULTRAmoist™ wedding cakes

Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald: Cakes & Confections - Cake should taste as good as it looks

In looking up Mr. Otto, I found another baker, ahead of her time.

Kitty Buck, 93, Who Founded Cake Masters Bakery Chain - Obituary; Biography - NYTimes.com

I saw a listing for the place, still in the Bronx, but no website.
