LeBron James rejects his $3,000 birthday cake at south beach party; Baker upset

[Legends66NBA7]

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/01/03/2571940/lebron-james-people-reject-bakers.html


The morning after the New Year’s Eve party that Miami Heat star LeBron James threw for his birthday and engagement felt worse than a hangover for Boca Raton baker Alethea Hickman.

The mom-and-pop cake maker was asked by officials at the Shelborne South Beach, where the party was held, to make a five-tier cake for The King’s 27th two days before the shindig.

In frantic all-caps emails, hotel marketing coordinator Samantha Rosen promised publicity for Hickman’s Passion for Pastry. In exchange, the Shelborne would receive the $3,000 cake as a freebie. Managing principal Jared Galbut called it “sponsorship.”

So Hickman designed a Heat-red cake with edible gold dust and an edible crown on top.

But when she went online early on New Year’s Day, the photos tweeted worldwide were those of an ivory-colored rum cake with gold lion’s heads from Miami’s Divine Delicacies.

“I don’t even know where my cake went,” Hickman said. “I was mortified. They had me do it in the middle of the holiday crush and I hired additional people. Someone needs to pay.”

Galbut said James’ people decided Hickman’s work wasn’t fit for the king: “It just wasn’t what was expected. When LeBron’s people saw it, they just didn’t want to use it and decided to bring their own cake. I can’t tell LeBron James what birthday cake to eat. It’s LeBron James, for Christ’s sake.”

As for how much Galbut would pay Hickman if he were asked, he just said: “That cake couldn’t be worth more than $600. It’s flour, eggs and water.”

This won't go over well...

[TheAesirsFinest]

Fix your title.

"LeBron James’ people reject baker’s birthday cake at South Beach party"

Not LeBron himself.

[Quickening]

Her fault for making shitty cakes.....

[Killbot]

When you capitalized the B in baker, I thought of Vin Baker at first.

[RoseCity07]

He should pay the full price, at least it's a whole cake, not 3 quarters of one.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Who cares.

LeBron haters have selective reading. :roll:

OP is a dumb piece of shit.

I'm not a hater. You don't even know me.

If you look at the link (I got it from the yahoo one), it says "LeBron rejects his $3000 birthday cake".

Clown.

I thought it was gonna be a pic of Lebron slapping the sh!t out of a cake at the rim or something

Well the cake would have matched his uglyass outfit.

Daaayyyyuuummmm :eek:

[9erEmpire]

I have to side with Lebron and his people here. For $3000 you better get a big cake with all the bells and whistle.

Granted that she got screwed, she baked a horrible cake compared to the one used.

This isn't anything to complain about....what if he had tons of guests and her cake couldn't feed everyone. Therefore, they don't want it.

simple as that.

And the cake that he used:

That's exactly what I was thinking. Yahoo always does this shit it's sickening.

That was last year's cake... :facepalm

pwned.

....and also a huge facepalm for you to know what Lebron's birthday cakes looks like over the course of his life.

[Legends66NBA7]

Nobody cares that a millionaire didn't eat a birthday cake that his people arranged for him to both get and then reject.

Good, now get the hell out of the thread.

[Orlando Magic]

Both of the cakes are Cavaliers colors. I love it.

....and also a huge facepalm for you to know what Lebron's birthday cakes looks like over the course of his life.You can't read the article in the OP?


the photos tweeted worldwide were those of an ivory-colored rum cake with gold lion’s heads from Miami’s Divine Delicacies.A quick google image search that took 10sec showed the pic was from last year. :facepalm

No he used this one

http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2012/01/03/16/33/1fxmVh.St.56.jpg

If she comes with it, he made a good choice.

[Orlando Magic]

Also... as far as the cake that got rejected goes... it's a nice cake. But for $3000 there should have been put a hell of a lot more attention to detail and patience put in. There's no way that there's $3000 worth of work, effort & materials put into that thing.

[BrentISballin]

Should have used cake boss and made a tv show out of it

[Legends66NBA7]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Yahoo always does this shit it's sickening.

Thanks for that. :cheers:

Yahoo always points LeBron out in the wrong light, i've noticed. Especially Adrian Wojnarowski and Kelly Dwyer.

[9erEmpire]

No he used this one

http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2012/01/03/16/33/1fxmVh.St.56.jpg

that at least looks like it's worth 3 grand.

the other one....no.

Cake looks better than the bitch next to it.:pimp:

[Heavincent]

Who's this stallionaire kid? He's been stinking up every thread today.

[Phong]

The baker should just resell the cake to Eddy Curry.

[kentatm]

I have a hard time believing that thing is worth $3k. The one with the cute blonde looks much more like its worth that coin.

also, perhaps it got rejected b/c the thing looks like it was done in Cavs colors?

[Legends66NBA7]

Who's this stallionaire kid? He's been stinking up every thread today.

I know right? But apparently:


Nobody cares that a millionaire didn't eat a birthday cake that his people arranged for him to both get and then reject.

Yet, this thread is getting hits. And apparently I hate LeBron.

Got to love people with senstive skin. All I did was copy the title of the yahoo page (I posted the Miami one though) and someone else agreed with me that it is showing LeBron in a wrong light.

But yeah, I hate LeBron. :rolleyes:

[Rake2204]

When you capitalized the B in baker, I thought of Vin Baker at first.

With all due respect to that lady and her business, that's an ugly ass cake. It looks amatuer-ish and low rent.

[Legends66NBA7]

hahahah this thread is gold

Yeah, the pictures of the cake are pretty jokes. I only saw one picture of it before.

But according to Stallionare, nobody cares... yeah right.

LeBron and his crew in anything, everybody wants to know what's up.

They need to do a viral video of LBJ rejecting that cake at the rim...

... then pissing on it.

[R.I.P.]

The cake looks like crap, but if Bron ordered it, he should have paid her. Posting a picture of that atrocity is enough to get back at her, cause it

[ThatsGame]

That cake doesn't even look like a $600 one :lol That's straight up Publix bakery with a gold crown placed on top..:lol

Yeah, I was about to feel bad for her but shit, give me 3k and I'll make a better cake than that. I can find a better recipe on google

[Scholar]

:oldlol:



Anyway, the woman's cake isn't bad. I don't blame her for being pissed. She was promised publicity by offering a huge cake for free. It's only right that those responsible for "hiring" her for the baking of this cake pay for it.

I've seen cake at Walmart better than that

[Legends66NBA7]

Cake's now in the OP. Thanks again gyu.

[YAWN]

Damn the new cake is miles better than the piece of shit that got rejected. But whoever enlisted her to make it should pay her for at least part of it.

[DirtySanchez]

The Cakes cool....not the best but it was free right.

[Joshumitsu]

Lol@ the ISHtards saying the cake looked terrible. Who cares? It better have and probably did taste good for a free $3,000 cake.

In the end, it "disappeared" anyway aka it was eaten as the secondary cake. That's probably a testament to how many people there were. I'm sure the reason it got rejected was because it was too small to feed all the guests.

Expect Lebron to send her a check to keep her from tarnishing his name.

[GOBB]

Lol@ the ISHtards saying the cake looked terrible. Who cares? It better have and probably did taste good for a free $3,000 cake.

:roll: What do you mean who cares? The birthday boy and the people (celebs) attending. You cant be serious. That cake that was free looks retarded.

She'll get paid for it, just not the amount she claims it is worth.

[swi7ch]

new one is definitely better.

original one looks like it's for a kid with down's

[ConanRulesNBC]

Is this article real? LeBron turns into a bigger douche every day.

This won't go over well...


Wait... is that the picture of the cake? That costs $3,000?? Ok, I take back what I said about LeBron on this one. That does look horrible. It looks like a cake that I could pick up at Jewel.

[GOBB]

What is that piece under the crown? Anyone know?

[Dwyane Rose]

He should pay the full price, at least it's a whole cake, not 3 quarters of one.

:applause:

[Cali Syndicate]

The crown looks sick. The rest...not so much.

[Legends66NBA7]

What is that piece under the crown? Anyone know?

Yes, it's LeBron James new logo for his clothing brand.

He endorsed this new logo last year, I believe.

[nathanjizzle]

i suspect lebron payed for both, cept one of his people pocketed the money for that cake and just told the lady to fux off.

[nathanjizzle]

but that is a ugly ass cake aint worth 3k.

[Kobr]

Let 'Em Eat Cake

[Lebron23]

That's a $3,000 dollar cake. It's over priced.

if a stripper isn't jumping out of the cake, then it's not worth the money.

The hotel contracted a baker for a cake. LeBron's people decided they wanted to get their own. Seems like her issue is with the hotel's management, not LeBron's camp.

Give it a rest, you clown. Stop trying to downplay your stupidity with sarcasm. Why don't you read the article before you tell the world what it's about? That might work better for you. It may take about 5 minutes, even for a slow person such as yourself.

Threads getting hits does not mean it's a quality discussion. You must be new to the internet.

It's nothing to get worked up about, clown. For you to try and bring up a rise about something so stupid, must show you are catching feelings over something so minor.

I read the article, clown. I copied the damn title and people got upset about it. I changed the title because of that very reason and people calling me a LeBron hater (when I've been defending LeBron for a while now, when I first started on ISH). Why don't you come up with a comment rather than talk about me and then even slow person like yourself can come to the realization that the article writers put up that title.

There are threads out there that get an amount of hits that have no quality discussion either, yet this is getting called out because people are calling me out because apparently "they don't care" or "I'm a hater". The internet has been around here long enough for me that I've created more than enough threads of substance and discussion. A clown like you should go dictate this to Jeff if you have a problem.

Now finally, if you don't like this thread, get the hell out.

[pauk]

Gotta watch the diet i guess? :lol

[dude77]

you people are forgetting the fact that the cake was requested during the holiday rush and she says she had to hire extra help .. I don't know about 3k .. but definitely more than 600 .. the hotel rep guy is a prick saying what he said after the hotel REQUESTED her to make a cake .. they better rectify that sh== .. if not, she should sue them

[QUOTE]As for how much Galbut would pay Hickman if he were asked, he just said:

[9erEmpire]

Ignorance. It's not just the ingredients of the cake. It's the additional people she hired, as well as the cakes she couldn't make while she baked Lebron's.

that's not an excuse.

as a matter of fact, the cake should look good because she had help with it.

[bluechox2]

that's not an excuse.

i bet lebron liked it but his friends laughed their ass of at him and changed it

The cake is a lie.

[Hittin_Shots]

that's not an excuse.

as a matter of fact, the cake should look good because she had help with it.

Why does she need an excuse? She had an agreement and she fulfilled her side and the other side was not fulfilled, does it say she was asked to make a cake and would get it advertised if lebron's team liked it?

[KrizMiz]

i would reject this cake either, ugly as hell

[pejavelin]

the baker went all the way and made it perfectly suited for lebron, its 3/4 of the other cake. no reason for him to get the big ass cake if he cant finish.


the white and gold cake looks way more elegant though.
