How to Make a Vegan Napoleon Cake~ Classic Cakes 

I am renaming this cake "the most amazing cake ever invented" because it is just that good! I am seriously not sure I have ever eaten something so luscious in all my life! Better than the original from my non-vegan days, this Vegan version of the Classic Napoleon Cake is going to change your world! So easy to make too!

This is wonderful! Thank you for veganising all this popular recipes and showing people that you can still enjoy and have tasty desserts without eggs, dairy and cruelty ❤️

i love your new perspective of the camera

I'm from a Slavic background, and though I learned to make it this way in culinary school, our people traditionally use a different type of pastry for the same recipe. I remember how intrigued my French-born pastry instructor was by the differences, and we couldn't figure out why they were so different. I made the ethnic version of Napoleon for Christmas, using the new vegan gelatin replacement from Modernist Pantry for the Diplomat Cream; I think it's easier to work with than agar agar. Your molding process is a great tip, and the decoration is so chic. I'd eat any vegan version of Napoleon happily, ha-ha, so thanks for posting this : )

I love Napoleons ❤ I use same puff pastry.. and it works really great.. but I like to do small Napoleons, I cut each strip in three , so I have 9 pieces. I let them rise and when they cool, I sort of split each piece in 2, put cream between two parts.. that way they come out just the right size for a person to just grab one with fingers and eat it in few bites.. they are my family's favorite treat.. I'll try your recipe of cream next time I make Napoleons 💗💗💗💗

WHAT?? something i can finally enjoy as someone allergic to dairy 😭

I'd love to see you do a Swedish Princess Cake!

This is almost exactly like a french ‘Mille feuille’ or a Dutch ‘Tompoes’ 😊

Oh my goodness! It's so much like the German bienenstich (bee sting). It's soooo good. Absolutely one of my favourites and so easy to veganise. I am loving all these cream cakes.

Gonna whip up some tarts and fill them with that diplomat cream and top with some glazed fruit. Thank you for the idea!! ❤️

You are the best vegan bakery of de WORLD!!!!!!!!!

I made this yesterday and it’s SO good! The flavor is just like the real thing. I left out the garnishing due to laziness haha but it was still incredible. Truly a recipe that makes people go ‘is this REALLY vegan?!’ Which is how you know that a vegan recipe is actually good 😂 I was a bit scared because I used a different brand of agar agar (swallow globe). It’s the most accessible in my country and I’ve used it before but it doesn’t always turn out great. I was also afraid that the cream wouldn’t hold up, but it turned out really well in the end. It was so creamy, but it didn’t ooze out of the cake (has happened to me before with cream). The only thing that I noticed is that my cream turned out a little bit sandy. When I took a bite with the puff pastry it wasn’t noticeable; only when I tasted the cream on its own and when I paid a lot of attention to it. I’m curious if you have any thoughts on what that could be? Definitely didn’t make the cake any less good

Wow what a show stopper! Thanks for sharing 😍

I'm loving this beautiful filming and editing style, and your calming voice-over! Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe with us. 🥰

Looks amazing~ ♥

That's such a beautiful tri-flavor cake, Gretchen.

WoW!!!🥰🥰🥰

Wow I’ve never seen anything like this! What a masterpiece :) you bake such amazing desserts

Looks amazing Gretchen!

Wow, I am loving your work :)

Gorgeous!! I will definitely be making this! Thank you!

Wow Gretchen! What a beautiful cake and I am sure, so good! I thought it would be harder than this… and the fact that you can freeze it…it does’t get any better than that. I will be looking to find this pastry, hoping it’s available here in Canada. Wow! Now in Alaska! What a beautiful place! I sure hope I get to visit one day! We are on the other coast, Quebec, but it is doable! 🥰 When we finish our renovations. Our late dog Kimo, an Alaskan Malamute, would have loved it there. Anyway, thank you for such a beautiful and wonderful recipe! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm in. This looks really good. I like the different textures and varying areas of sweetness. Fun video too, your "McGyver" approach draws us in and the almost unbearably tense slicing scene is helped by the gentle background music and your calm voice.

Oo this looks so good! I might try it out this week. I love this style of video as well 💜

Gosh that looks so delicious! Can’t believe I get to eat one of my fave cakes as a vegan ^^

I actually forgot what a Napoleon was since I've been vegan for so long.

👍❤️

❤️❤️

Hi Gretchen! The cake is awesome. I was wondering if its going to be easier to cut unfrozen Napoleon cake with an electric serrated knife?

If anyone is curious: this cake is delicious and so easy to make! Doesn’t taste “vegan” at all. Sometimes when I’m looking at recipe videos I look for comments of people who have tried it to tell me if it’s a succes or fail, so this is the comment for any curious people: SUCCES 😄😄

Looks and sounds amazing Gretchen! Wouldn’t mind eating this like a sandwich, too!😜💕

Well, hellooooo ! 😮🤩

are there any other whipped cream brands I can use? the silk isn't available near me.

have you ever mentioned how many grams of sugar you have in that bowl? Can't see it.

You might say this later in the film but how long does it last? I own a bakery and I’m sure the whole thing will sell in one day. Just curious for leftovers. Thx.

ooh that looks so good!!! do you think the diplomat cream would work with whipped aquafaba, or would that be too unstable?

Hi Gretchen, Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. I am wondering from where will I find vegan puff pastry ? Can we chill the cream diplomat and then pip between layers ? Thank you.

I was wondering, is all Pepperidge Farm puff pastry accidentally vegan, or did you buy a special vegan Puff Pastry?

how did you make that whipped cream? Your video is confusing for me :) Not everything is explained.
