Dear Gemma, it has been my stroke of luck to have found your channel. I just baked these tonight and did the butter cream frosting from your video and it has made me look like a super mum 🤩 to my family. You really turned this baking novice into a ‘bold baker’. 👩🍳😊 Thank you!!! 💕
Put in ur room temperature butter and mix at medium speed, until creamy and soft. Then after two mins, add in sugar and mix until light and fluffy. At high speed, add the eggs one by one. Add flour,baking powder and a small amount of milk.Then on little speed, mix until the flour is gone There u go 😀 Edit: so sorry about the measurements, it seems like Baywin has posted them 👍
I just rediscovered your channel! This seriously needs to be one of the best cooking channels on YT....like, I feel like it’s too underrated for the quality of content. I am super inspired and pumped up and have already started “experimenting” in the kitchen with your recipes... ♥️ keep up the great work and awesome videos! 😊
Oh Gemma thanks soooo much, I’m a beginner and looking forward to baking this for my father in law, and maybe a tea charity in my house. Thank you soooooo much and you just got urself a loyal fan.
I made these cupcakes the other day and they were absolutely perfect! They were super soft and airy, and everyone loved them! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe! I love your recipes coz they are super easy to make using ingredients that are easily available. Good luck for future!
I love this channel. Not only are the food aesthetically pleasing but Gemma is also a great person. Whenever I ask any questions, she replies. I am sure she tries her best to reply to everyone's questions but it not that easy. I really love Gemma
I love these videos! It's so nice to have one "mother" mix that you can customize to whatever you're in the mood for. I like that if you want to do half Birthday Cake (my favorite too!) and half carrot cake (hubby's favorite) we can both get what we want! :-)
Hey I made your chocolate cupcakes and cookies and cream cupcake and both turned out to be very well . They were very delicious.😋😋 Thanks for the recepie 😊😊
A few weeks ago I made the Birthday Cake (didn't realise that was a flavour till watching your channel) cupcakes for my daughter's birthday to take to her class. First time ever making cupcakes as well as making buttercream frosting...oh my gosh! So good! My daughter and her class LOVED the cupcakes, had some extras made for my husband as well and it was a hit! Thank you so much for not only sharing your recipes, but also giving me the confidence to have a go at baking. I never felt like it was something I was good at until I came across your channel, I really appreciate how you walk through each recipe. Thanks to you, I feel like baking is actually doable and I now enjoy it as a hobby/stress reliever! Many thanks all the way from Australia!
Charlotte, this is a really flexible recipe. The basic sponge can be used for all sorts of cakes, it is proportional. easy to remember, and will take lots of flavors, buttercream, fondant etc. Good for you, well done :)
I am gonna make those for my college friends tomorrow!! I make a lot of your recipes for them.. They love it! They love you! They love me! 😂😂😍 thank you for so many amazing recipes!! ♥️ Love from India!

Gemma, thank you so much.... I followed your recipe to finish my first order of 50 cupcakes..... Everyone liked it and praised so much.... Thank you so much❤.....
I love them. It is so easy to follow with your clear instructions. Now i got the correct texture for my cupcakes. I dont actually fancy cupcakes but now i love them. Tqvm
My 4 and 2 year old and I are making these today for a family dinner. They LOVE "Gemma videos" and were so excited to help make vanilla cupcakes today. Whenever I need a fail-proof recipe for something, I look for Gemma ❤
Gemma ur really talented and creative love you......💕💕💕💕well im gonna make these and add nutella in these cup cakes what do u think gemma how will nutella go with these cake???
Aw, thanks so much! I'm delighted you enjoyed them. I hope you try some other flavors too. And don't miss my Crazy Cookies recipe: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/crazy-cookie-dough/
I never thought I would bake in life..coz before ur recipe I tried many n failed..after trying ur recipe I would not stop baking 😁..my kids luved the cupcakes..thanks for making it so simple
Hello from Pakistan 🇵🇰! ! I love all your recipes they are clear with excellent results. Thank you. Making these cupcakes for my grandchildren tomorrow 😋
Hi Gemma the lemon blueberry cupcake made me think of the big muffins I buy my son at the Quick Trip convenience store. Could you do a muffin base that makes different types of muffins? Just a suggestion for another crazy recipe.Thanks, Brenda
The moment you realize the blueberries have burst and the juices have seeped into the cake and sends out the most beautiful smell....... OML I live for that!!
I tried making these lovely cupcakes, some with and others without the add-ins. The ones with the flavor add-ins came out gorgeous! Thank you! The ones without didn't turn out so good, they had this bread-like pudding look. So I wanted to ask, MUST the crazy cupcakes recipe have add-ins for the perfect finish?
Hi. Cupcakes without add-ins should be like any vanilla cupcake, light in color with a soft crumb. I suspect it stayed too long in the oven, that it looked like bread pudding. I hope this helps.
I can't believe people don't know to do this already. I suppose I take my baking knowledge for granted but I learned this at a very young age from my mum.
That is it Lorraine, you have been lucky. People from other parts of the world have different ways of doing things, and different foods too, we are all learning here ;)
Gemma I love this! I am a big lover of cupcakes. I was a teacher for many years and always started the year off with making my student cupcakes. And I just have always found that bringing cupcakes to a friend's house or a relative is just a lovely treat. How wonderful to have one base to start with and be able to add different ingredients to get all these wonderful cupcakes! This is very helpful to me as my family all have different tastes and now instead of making batches of different cupcakes I can make just several different cupcakes for each person! I just want to give you a big compliment on the beautiful way that you decorate your cupcakes. It's so lovely and elegant. I will say that I am in total agreement with you about the frosting and feel Vindicated because many times I was told that I put too much frosting on my cupcakes. Never by my students of course LOL. Love the carrot cupcake my mom not a big cupcake eater will love that. Sorry for another long post but I just love being part of your Bolder baking community if it's okay to say that. Thank you for all the hard work that you put into everything. Just watch one of your first Q&A so I saw you answer the questions about how much time goes into your posts. appreciate it XO❤🍰🍩🍮
Thank you Kelly, I am guessing that you are at least a bit, if not a lot, Irish! you sound Irish to me. Thank you so much for your very kind words, I appreciate them. This recipe would really have been the first recipe we were taught to bake in school too, it is a great one really, as you can keep it in your head! Yes, it takes a long time to do all of the platforms, we need to be sure they are right, but it is our work now, and we love it too! It is good to have you with us Kelly :)
Gemma Stafford hi Gemma! Yes I am 2nd and 3rd generation Irish depending on the side of the family LOL I love my country but I have always felt very connected to my Irish ancestry. I think that Irish DNA is strong stuff haha. I say that because there are part of the family that through marriage there's less Irish ancestry, in some of the children and cousins. Not me but I always see so much of my grandma in my cousin's children it is so funny and lovely.❤ sorry for the long reply. I wasn't going to because I don't want you to Rue the day that you heard the name Kelly O'Connor but it did seem like a reply was called for. XO
hi gemma,im in love❤With these cupcakes.... Yum yum😋 Your so creative, pretty and energytic.your are the best baker i had seen.Big fan of you from saudi arabia... 😍
Love this recipe! One question: you made 6 cupcakes (didn't fill the entire cupcake tin), is it okay to leave the unused "cups" empty? I was once told when not using all the "cups" to fill the empty ones with water-it was supposed to help with even baking. You didn't seem to have any problems with leaving them empty. They all looked great.
Hi Susan, that is interesting, I never heard this before, and I never did that, now I am dying to try it, lol! steam in an oven does improve a bake, especially breads, but I will try it! Thank you :)
I was very excited to find this tutorial BUT even more when I tried it, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful idea, you make my job more easy with this great idea!!
Hello Gemma, I tried making Vanilla cupcake using this cupcake recipe base batter.... Wow the cake tasted so good and even the batter tasted really good.... Thank you Gemma 🥰🤤
Best recipie ever Gemma .. followed every single tip step by step religiously n worked like magic can't believe I made the most tasty cupcakes I've ever tasted : ) much love
Definitely making the chocolate peanut butter!But I have one question my cupcakes and muffins always come out kind of crunchy on the outside and not soft and light so how do you make it not like that?😞
Check the temperature of your oven; it may be too high. If so, you could lower it a few degrees, and make sure you test for doneness by putting in a answer. When it comes out clean, the cupcake is 'done'.
You are so welcome! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday with this and my other recipes : www.biggerbolderbaking.com/gemmas-holiday-baking-headquarters/

My weekend project. These will be perfect for an upcoming baby shower.... love the various types possible with only tweaking the basic batter! Thanks Gemma, love your recipes, keep them coming! !♡♡♡♡♡
