You don’t need to apologize for filming making the same cake. You’re a content creator but you’re also a human being. If this is your favorite cake, make it and film it every year until you find a new favorite. Life’s too short to eat a birthday cake you don’t love. Besides, we’d love watching you make anything. Between your persona and the way the film is edited, every video is pure relaxation.
I agree. He does make lovely relaxing videos. When I need an uplift to my day. I will definitely watch one of his videos. He has become my woo sah to a chaotic day. I love the tone and calmness of his voice.❤
A little tip. Lower your oven temperature 25 degrees when you want your cake to come out flat instead of a dome. Had a cake business years ago. Hope this helps and Happy Birthday. Love your videos
Dear Nicolas, today is my birthday, and I decided to watch your videos during breakfast today - what a delightful surprise to find that you'd released this video today! What a sweet start to my day, and my new year - I take this as good omen that I will have a very elegant year. Happy Birthday to you, I hope your channel continues to grow astronomically!
It's my birthday today - though at my age, I feel quite old and not very celebratory! I'm 58 - I remember 33 as if it was yesterday - it was a hugely fun time in my life - make the most of every day you are given - the years go by so fast X
Tip for double layer cakes: I put the them bottom to bottom. That way the bottom "dome" is face down on the plate and second layer sits upright with the dome as the top of the cake. The flat sides sit together nicely. I've also seen people on bake shows use dental floss of cut through the dome part, and they still put stack the layers bottom to bottom.
You're correct that the Italian Cream Cake isn't from Italy. It's from the American South. Another cake you might like is the Hummingbird Cake. Similar basic ingredients to the Italian Cream Cake plus bananas, crushed pineapple and pecans. Makes three layers. A really good cake cookbook is American Cake by Anne Byrn. It has cake recipes from Revolutionary War times up through today. The final chapter covers frostings and icings.
To have a flat top to your cake layers is a simple trick. Tap the entire tin on the counter and watch the bubbles appear and escape from the top of your batter. Then bake for a flat top.
Happy birthday to you Nicolas love you so much. May God bless you and give you many years to come. I'm sure you have enjoy your day. I wish I could have been there with you too and friends. ,Take care Nicolas love xx ❤️❤️❤️. 👍👍👍👍♥️♥️
Happy belated birthday, Nicholas!!!❤️🥰🎈🎁🍨🎊🍭🎉🎂🥳🥂. The one time of the year a person should be able to eat what they want, including cake, is their birthday. It looked delicious.
I’m quite envious of your party guests getting to enjoy such a delightful cake. I make a dark chocolate cake for my birthday & cover the topmof it with chocolate shavings. Enjoy your party & thanks for taking the time to share & show us your recipe. 💚✌️😋
Bonjour from the South of France,,, the cote d Azur!! Just found you !! And your Kindness, freshness and LOVE ,,, filled my evening SO MUCH,,, MERCI BEAUCOUP AND BONNE WEEK END
Birthday boy!! Hope you had a blast kiddo.... Love Italian creme cake!! Have not had it in years because I cant have tree nuts anymore but they were so yummy! xoxo Randolph
I bake quite a bit and what's helped my cakes to be quite flat is simply to lower the temp. If a recipe calls for 350F I set it for 325F. Makes all the difference! Watching from Mississippi USA
Happy belated birthday! The cocktail mixtures sound delicious. I very rarely drink alcohol though, but now I am inspired to investigate some mocktail recipes.
Happy Birthday, Nicolas!! 33 is a wonderful age and I hope you have a glorious, dream filled year ahead... Watching you make this cake has inspired me and I'm going to try making it, too... Happy Day!
Several viewers have given great tips for a flat cake top. When all else fails and you're determined to get that look, just trim it flat with a thin long knife if your cake layers are thick enough to trim. If the dome is somewhat negligible, just put the dome side down, all layers. Icing is a thinner product than frosting and usually doesn't have butter or cream cheese. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to you young man 🥂🍾. If you turn one of your cake section over and use the flat bottom as the top …. Tada …. You have a flat top to decorate 🎂🛍💐🥳🥰
Happy 33rd Birthday Nicholas! Such a lovely cake. I will definitely try this recipe. Enjoy yourself with your friends and wishing you many many more. May all your birthday wishes come true. Love the cocktail kits. That kit and "Hello Fresh" and you have a wonderful meal to enjoy with little effort.
Happy Birthday Nicolas. I enjoy your videos immensely. You're a fresh breath of air in this day ang age when aggression and hostility raging in the world.
Happy Birthday to you! A very special person. Another unique Aquarius who we all enjoy. Thanks for all the lovely videos. Have a wonderful celebration. May all your birthday wishes come true.
Happy Birthday Nicholas, So wonderful to see you and your adorable little counterpart Sophie she's oh so cute. Cake looks delicious love when you do recipes have a wonderful Birthday.
Happy Birthday Nicholas ! Your cake looks yummy! One other tip, when I make layer cake I insert about 3 tooth picks from the top into both layers. It secures the layers from moving when you are frosting the cake. I do tell my friends to watch for them in case they get one of the toothpicks in their piece, LOL 😅 No one cares either if they are the lucky ones to get a toothpick, just set on the side of your plate.
Nicolas I love your elegance n warm hi,e n flowers and paintings … blooms, book cases n lovely lamps n kitchen ware and beautiful gold frames but above it all I adore your cuddly angel Sophie she is soooo huggable n cute n I feel like spending time with her n giving company n treats …. U live with tiny glimpsy piece of heaven… bless u both n a v happy belated birthday once more
Now you have to send us all a piece of birthday cake, that looks Divine! If you have a long serrated knife, you can gently slice the top of the dome off of one cake, holding your hand flat on top as you saw, to stack flat, just an idea🥰
Happy Birthday Nicolas . You look great ! I hope you have a great day . That cake looks yummy ! I love champagne and sweets too ! So extravagant and over the top . Just like you !!! Ed from the U.S . Frosting haha
