If a recipe takes longer than a couple of hours, it's probably a shit recipe.
This isn't like counting stuff that purposeful, like for science reasons takes longer. I.E Croissants, as you have to keep the butter chilled in order to get those folds/pockets of goodness. So you have to stop, chill it, fold, repeat until it's done. Macarons as well, you have to let them form the shell in order to get their 'feet'.
But like that 150 hour cake recipe I've seen go viral on youtube? Fuck no. You can make one that tastes just as good/if not the same without it taking a fucking week.
From my experience it's the simpler the recipe = the better taste it's going to be. You don't need 100 hours to make a fucking amazing cake, or the most high end ingredients.
