Likely that I could be in the minority here, but I will it that the scene was decidedly well done, regardless of the material that they were working with. (Also, the giant cake was a nice touch.)

Was it perfect? No.

Was it spectacular? Yes.

Could something else have been more effective? Case depends.

Either way, it was clear to me that a lot of thought went into the set design. And even a questionable choice can't change that.
