Ombre Cake 

Can’t. Stop. Binge watching your videos! 😩

This is the cake Elsa would make in Frozen! The cold never bothered me anyways.

Cake is gorgeous and extra bonus points for adding in your adorable mom to the video!!

I am a baker placed in Mexico. I want you to know that I love your work and videos, the humbleness of your teaching skills and mostly, your supportive and professional attitude without leaving aside the real perks of baking. I enjoy your recipes so much, I learn a lot but I also enjoy and laugh a lot with your videis. Thanks a lot, darking!

I just absolutely adore him. Such great spirit and personality. Another fun watch and beautiful cake

Your mother is adorable! Thank you for having her drop by : )

Great video John, thank you! I now "butter" and flour all my cake pans using Crisco and flour instead of butter. The reason is that flour adheres better to fat than to water. Butter contains around 20% water; the European butters are approximately 18% water. Crisco is 100% fat so flour sticks to Crisco better than butter given butter's water content. Also, Crisco is cheaper and easier to use as it's already at room temperature (I keep mine in the pantry in a cool, dark place). I cook only with butter and make meringue buttercreams only with all butter, but Crisco has a role for me in my cake making.

Brother noticed you are left handed, most talented people. God Bless you!

You could also call it a "Frozen" or "Elsa" cake-Great idea for all the little Elsa fans out there

You are the Cake King .... 🎂 🤴 You make it look so easy that I want to try to make all of them

I made this cake yesterday, and here are some thoughts. Your cake recipes and all the tips for making perfect cake layers is top notch! Dense crumb, yet so light and moist. Your cakes are MAGIC. However, you said in your video that some people don’t like American buttercream. I never made it before, and it was not what I thought. So I am with those that do not care for it. So now I am super excited to try your Swiss or Italian buttercream! I never wanted to make it because it seems overly complicated. But you make everything look easy and attainable. That is the mark of a great teacher. Thank you so much for bringing your joy of baking to my family. We are having a lot of fun together watching you, and then trying it out!

Love it when you have your Mom on your videos❤️you can tell what a good relationship you have with her😉I just love your chocolate cakes😋 I think now it’s time to try the white cake & expand my horizons😉another happy viewer coming from Carmel-By-The-Sea...thanks so much for all the mouth watering recipes🥰

Rolling the cake in the sugar is a brilliant idea. You make it always look so easy and you’re always calm and never rushed.

literally nobody can stop watching your vids

Another easy technique for cleaning around the edges is to use wax or parchment paper cut in half underneath the cake. When you're done frosting, just pull each side away and you have a lovely clean bottom of your cake.

I love this guy....I can't go a day without turning in to watch a video! Don't know where he's been all my life but so glad he's around now.

I love how you’re so nonchalant about when it comes to your your videos,. In some of your previous videos,I find it so humorous especially when you make a mess, and you don’t rush to clean it up, for example tossing your egg shells here and there.... Love watching you and hearing of your family. I couldn’t believe that was your mom, she is so young looking! Continue with more videos!

He’s gotten so much more comfortable while filming in the last couple of years, which I love!!

So fun watching this one - and then having your beautiful Mom joining you was such a sweet perk!

I love watching you make cakes! You're so inspiring! I bought some little 6 inch cake pans, and the cake strips. I can't believe I'd never heard of those before! Next up...getting in large supplies of butter, flour, and sugar! 😜 And the hardest of all. Choosing which cake to try! This Winter Wonderland Cake is on my short list though. Your mom is adorable!

Love the science facts interspersed in the methodology! Cows eating grass...hehe

i have tried this cake and the output was really great 🤩🤩🤩...thank you and i did this for my daughters birthday bash and the output was extremely good !!!!! thank you so much brother from Malaysia

I just made “leftover curry” glass noodle stir fry. One of the ingredients is ground cardamom. It’s amazing! He’s right about cardamom!

I LOVE THIS SERVICE CAKE AND LEMON JUICE

I found myself watching this video because of your backsplash, it looks like mine. Can you do a kitchen tour, would like to see how you organize all your cooking and baking stuff? I love your style. By the way amazing cake.

With everything you bake is just to the holaday. 😊🤗

Thanks for the butter tips ! I really had no idea about that! I just love your videos.

You are the only one I have seen using cake strips to make flat layers. Rolling the cake in different colors of sanding sugar so clever and beautiful.

I truly love watching you bake , you show the real you and not cover up a great baker and cooks mess up. Stay real my friend. Beautiful blessing to you and your beautiful gorgeous Family. Love and prayers from the Island of Guam✌❤🙏🌺🌴🎉Happy New Year 🎉 filled with God's blessings, love and abundance🙏

That ombre sugar technique is breathtaking! And the finished cake is a work of art. Love you show.

It was the best ASMR when you smoothed out the blue shades of icing and especially rolling it in the gradients of sugar. Ahhhhh Yaaaass

I've been binge-watching your videos and you're the reason I wanted to start baking💕 I love your videos and your personality!

The blue stand mixer plus you is life giving! 🤗 I also adore cardamom and yes we have sour cream in Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

What a completely stunning cake John, I totally love it. Honestly beautiful xx

Thanks for answering my question about cleaning the pedestal.😊 Cardamom and peppermint - such an interesting combination. You're expanding our horizons.

Hi John, I recently found your videos. I’m a trained baker but I’m of a certain age and people want to hire youngers. You are great to watch, and learn from. You seem so nice and not nervous. I get nervous Sometimes when I bake. You inspire me!

You are a cake magician. Never adored anyone like you.

You are the best!! Love to watch your videos!!! Thank you for shearing your talent in baking!!!

So glad I stumbled across your channel. Love all of your videos. You are a natural…………………..thank you!

even when the cake came out it was ombre lol

I love your fabric strips! Mine must be older than yours because mine are just gray and I have to pin them! Also, I absolutely love your mixer! Blue's my favorite color and that one is beautiful! And your counters are gorgeous! Love the cake too! Really like your channel! Thank you!

Love this gorgeous cake, no cardamom for me 😅 it reminds me of spice cake that I don't like. I've got sooo many of those cake strips but have never used them? Never really had a problem with my cakes doming since I have lowered my heat when I bake cakes. I like cutting my cakes in half so I have 6 layers 💖 I like the cake to icing ratio 🤗

You make it look so easy. I think this is a 2019 challenge

Amazing like always. Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks.

What a beautiful cake and really awesome tips and tricks!

i could watch you for hours!! actually i have 😂 thanks for such a natural talented channel to watch and learn from!!😊

Looks amazing. I might try this too!!!

The cake looks delicious and the buttercream

I’m binging on watching your beautiful and amazing 😉 cake 🍰 recipes omg 😮 I love ❤️, love 💕 your recipes aww 🥰 your mom is so beautiful 😍 May god bless you all.

Love your recipes.I've tried most of them with success

I really really love your videos! I learn alot from it. I was like watching all of your videos all day long. 😍 I really enjoy it. ❤ And I like it everytime you share tips so that I am able to avoid doing mistakes when I make your recipes in the future. Hoping for more and more videos from you! Keep on baking! You inspire your viewers alot ❤ Lovelots all the way from Philippines! 💕

I love your videos and am learning so much. I don't know where you get the time to create all these yummy cakes, as having twins is enough work for anyone! Thanks again.

Nice to see a recipe that uses cardamom. It is a staple in Scandinavian and Finnish baking. I grew up with cardamom in breads, pastries and cakes. Internet ordering makes it easier and less expensive to obtain, especially if you order it in bulk as I do. I hope you look into more recipes that use it. Thanks!

Visually, this is such a stunning cake. Unique! I am sure, to use your favorite word, the taste is amazing. The icing sugar reminded me of gemstones. It would be fun to do a cake for each month according to one's birthstone and its color. I have subbed mayo for sour cream, but nothing compares to sour cream! I am a soaper. A soap batter is nothing less than a cake batter! I recently bought some pvc pipe that I cut into short pieces. I put them in the soap mold (or in your case, a cake pan) and, in each, I placed a different color batter surrounded by the neutral base batter. Then I pulled them out. Voila! Just a head's up to keep ahead of the pack. Seek inspiration everywhere. Glad to see your mom.

I don't know how you do it but you do it so well! Loving all your recipes! Keep it up 🙌

Just beautiful

Ah-mazingly looks simple 😊 will try this on an Elsa doll cake!

Such an elegant cake.

amazing, cake without mixer .. great

"hi Angel" 😭😭😭 she speaks to you so sweetly!

Happy Tuesday Preppy😁 yesssss I have been waiting for this one. It's gorgeous thanks sweetie😆

So early 😍 it looks delicious! It’s my mom‘s birthday on Friday and I’m still trying to choose which of your recipes I’m using ☺️ but I guess it doesn’t matter, they would all turn out great!

Wow!! Wonder filled winter cake!

WOAW WHAT A CAKE .... BRAVO . HELLO FROM FRANCE. 😍😍😍

I enjoy your video's so much, you're absolutely brilliant and that cake looks totally awesome! ❤

Yup sour cream is common in England too 😅 I/we use it when making Mexican cuisine as guacamole, salsa & sour cream are the ultimate combo! But most never associate it with baking/ as a baking ingredient, only as a condiment for savoury food.

Oh man... u r awesome... ♥️♥️.. Will surely try this

My 5 yr old daughter loves watching your videos and trying out your recipes on the weekends.

Even the mixer is ice blue-Cute!

That cake is absolutely stunning and WWWWWha-onderful! And 147k! I predict 150k before Valentine’s day, easy!

When his mom comes... He's so sweet to her!!!

I honestly don’t understand why you haven’t got more subscribers, your videos are so well filmed and interesting to watch. Bloody love your kitchen too 😁

That cake looks too beautiful to eat!! 😭😮💟

Not a fan of peppermint but I’m totally loving that white chocolate buttercream!! Thanks John! Love all your videos... 😊

Gracias ,me lo haré para mi cumple el Jueves

Absolutely beautiful !👍
