Bakes by ZK

Why it worked

The video combines the universally appealing subject of cake with a relatable emotional narrative (a previous cake disaster) and a clear, positive endorsement of the baker's skill, making it highly shareable and engaging.

Summary

The creator shares a beautifully decorated birthday cake made by "Bakes by ZK". She cuts into the cake, expresses sadness at having to dismantle its aesthetic, and then enjoys a slice, praising its soft and spongy texture and delicious flavor, pairing it with tea.

Product placement

Bakes by ZK (ACTS - it is the name of the baker who made the cake, and the creator explicitly states this is the baker's name and that they are "insane at making cakes". Removing this name would change the context of who made the cake, but not the video's core action of eating the cake.)

Transcript

Let's eat my birthday cake together. Look how pretty this cake is. So backstory, I flew to Paris with a bigger version of this cake, but it turned a little bit funny and I wasn't able to eat it. So the lady that made this is called Bakes by ZK and she is literally insane at making cakes. Let's cut into it. Oh, that's so sad to take the beautiful bows off. The lady that made this is called Bakes by ZK and she is literally insane at making cakes. Let's cut into it. That is heartbreaking so I have to do that. Wow. Usually this cake comes with lemon curd in it, but I didn't want the lemon curd so it's literally just lemon drizzle with some butter cream. Wow. Mmm. So soft and spongy. Mmm. Wow. That is so soft and spongy. Mmm. I've got a gorgeous cup of tea to wash it down with. You cannot beat cake and a cup of tea. So good. And here is the gorgeous inside of the cake. It is literally 10 out of 10.
