Tribal People Try Exotic Cakes For The First Time
About this video
Cake, tried for the first time by villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan. Nobody tells them what to say. Some like it, some don't, and in the Tribal People Try way they explain exactly why.
What is cake?
Cake covers birthday sponges, chocolate fudge cake, carrot cake, red velvet, black forest and the American layer cakes covered in buttercream. Bakery cake is common in Pakistani cities; the elaborate frosted kind is what the videos usually feature.
What to watch for
Frosting is the divide. A thick layer of American buttercream is sweeter and greasier than anything the village bakes, and the usual move is to eat the sponge and leave the icing. Chocolate cake wins; red velvet is treated with suspicion.
The comparison they always make
Cake is a city thing bought for weddings and birthdays. Home sweets are halwa, kheer and mithai, all far less sweet than a frosted American slice, whatever people assume.
