    Am I bad to feel that I like this version better than the original?

  2. Union Tom says:

    Hysterically funny! “I can taste the harvest”! OH EM GEE!

  3. Lana says:

    Best part: @ 2:32

    “It’s this delicious … mix … of brown and grey …. that you don’t normally see in cakes ….”

    Speaking of Guy Fieri / Ferry/ Fieti…

    I notice on almost every show he’s on, he keeps using the phrase, “that’s on point!” (or variations of it).

    Hearing it every once in awhile does not bother me, but it seems like every five minutes on every single show, he says it.

    Someone’s salsa, made from scratch, is “on point.” Some short order cook’s burger is “right on point.” Some guy’s apple pie is “on point.”

    I wish he’d find a new catch phrase.

  5. Jen says:

    “Tradition African garnish is corn nuts” is absolutely hilarious.

  6. LauraS says:

    The scary part is, THAT is the actual recipe.

    I love the “I’m not racist.” line. Maybe he’ll make the Hannukah cake next!

  7. Sandy's food designer says:

    What a beautiful cake! I gotta find the video of aunt sandy making this cake

  8. Sandy's food designer says:

    How dare anyone critIcize this recipe! Sure, aunt sandy could have used some cool whip for that home made flavor, but solid quality never the less!

  9. RR's pompoms says:

    The cake that keeps on giving

    And Brycer is all growed up!

  10. Scot Z. says:

    I think I might try making this cake. But I’ll omit everything but the corn-nuts.

  11. Menage a'foie says:

    Fantastic! I loved the backdrops.

  12. Vaca says:

    Oh goodness, I laughed way too much at the loud belch.

  13. Drew1111 says:

    Please, please tell me that all of you know that this is just to get people to watch him. Guy is like that five year old kid on the playground that goes around screaming and yelling for attention. All the parents on the playground are just like, “That kid is is soooo bad. His parents, (Food Network) must not care.” Guy Ferry and the Food Network are a JOKE.

  14. Donald says:

    I’ll admit that i was not aware of the original. I had to watch that too. OMG.

  15. Margy says:

    As gross as that is (or appears) it’s missing a few ingredients from the real “recipe”. Pumpkin seeds and popcorn. Not that it would have improved this….just add to the barf worthiness.

  16. Cheffy says:

    i love this person… almost as much as i love aunt sandii herself.
    job well done.

  17. Just Jenn says:

    When it got to the “Ugggh/Blaargh” sound he made shortly after taken a bite, I literally joke on my own spit laughing. Is Aunt Sandy for real? I know this is a real recipe, but now I’ll have to hunt down original footage.

  18. dje says:

    OMG. I DID see the original footage. The only real difference is she used acorns, not corn nuts, and she put candles on too. Both cakes look like giant fluffy dog turds.

    She used betty crocker vanilla icing and added vanilla, cocoa, and cinnamon. SERIOUSLY?? Why not just get milk chocolate and add a little cinnamon, at least then you get a slightly more appealing color than Taupe-ish. And could she talk about how delicious it was going to be often enough or what? Hell, I’d rather have a raw apple & oatmeal homemade cake – it’s the only thing I’ve ever seen that looks worse than her Kwanzaa cake, but at least I already know it tastes great!

    • Brown Sugar says:

      She actually SAID acorns when she was making it in her video, but she used corn nuts. Which is good, because acorns are only edible to humans as acorn meal.

      Is it me or did this guy’s version look way better than Sandy’s? His corn nut sprinkling helped hide the hideousness, while hers enhanced it.

  19. KristenS says:

    I have never actually seen anyone eat that cake until just now….thank you for sacrificing yourself in the name of science, Shawn(dra) Keen!

  20. Carissa says:

    This was truly amazing. Loved the show intro too lol

  21. Danielle says:

    I honestly didn’t think that was the recipe, until I saw the Aunty Drunky original video. Barf! Who the hell would make this?!

  22. Zylador says:

    Huh, didn’t even know these guys were the ones who did the Sandra-Lee-Induced Seizure from two years ago. Love this video though, and can’t wait to see more hilarity involving Shawn(dra) and “Brycer”!

  23. Tom says:

    Holy shit, this is the actual recipe too.

    WOWWWWWWWWWW

  24. Mal_Pal says:

    “spicy African pie filling…” I feel like that’s something Sandra Lee would actually say to describe something she smashed together in order to appear way more worldly than she ever will be.

  25. Beth says:

    Freaking hillarious!

  26. SouthernGal says:

    EPIC!!! I’m crying I’m laughing so hard

  27. Emery says:

    This is 1 of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. This guy is genius! Aware that this is probably the actual recipe that sandra lee made, I almost almost puked watching him make this cake. And, oh yeah, why the f#@k is this white woman (who by the way I couldn’t be any whiter) making a kwanzaa cake?? That would be like me, who is of irish and english descent, explaining to my black friends the best picnic to pack for the million man march: fried chicken with pickled pigs feet and ham hocks, watermelon for dessert and ice cold can of grape soda.
