discovered this as we're getting to the season - looks GORGEOUS, delightfully spooky! i generally reside away from food coloring in baking, but i can't think of a more appropriate season than Halloween to include it! 👻
For my workmates, I made a pumpkin cake the other day and made your cream cheese frosting to go on it. When I make this, I like to put pumpkin seed brittle on top. Inspired by the peanut pralinee from a couple weeks ago, I did the same with the brittle. Some of it was drizzled on top of the cake. Some of it went into the frosting. The rest is in a bowl with pretzel sticks next to it for dipping!
Big ups to the camera man/editor for including the clean up of the cake board. Every cake video on youtube focuses on cleaning up the top edge and totally disregards the bottom.
Yes, it definitely would. Even an orange drip. Not that it's not cute on it's own but a little extra decor never hurt so long as you don't go way overboard, lol...
Hello beautiful Crumbs and Doilies Team, I am a 9 year long Cupcake Jemma fan from Australia and I use all your recipes and watch you as my baking gods because I unfotuntaely live all the way in Australia. I am planning my best friends birthday in December and was wondering if you have ever tried a Butterbeer flavoured/inspired cake? I love you All
My recipe book is here and I'm so excited to try the recipes in it!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You can truly see the love, care, and dedication you guys put in every page. 🥰 It was also so lovely to see the C&D gang at the end of the book as well! 🥰 I'm so grateful to our family friend, Zia, who got it for me because I've been dreaming about it since you all announced it! with so much love from the Philippines, - April ❤️❤️❤️
FIRST AGAIN JEMMA! Looks delicious. Can’t wait to make this cake this weekend!! ❤🎉🎉 My mum got a Biscoff S’mores cake from the Crumbs and Doilies website for my birthday last Sunday. It was DELICIOUS!! ❤❤🎉
Cake looks fabulous! I saw a video about intensifying the buttercream colour, by putting it in the microwave for a few seconds, then chilling it and beating it again
@@MrsBrit1 buttercream is not supposed to be fluffy, its supposed to be smooth. If someone puts too much colouring in, it will become runny. The video i watched, wasn't fake. And it wasn't the only video, offering the same tip. The heat intensified the colour...
Hi, I made this cake today. Got the thumbs up from everyone in the house! Now have the rest of the cake sliced up to put in the kids bags for Tuesday night 😊
Hi Jemma. Tried this recipe and it came out the best I’ve ever made until it cooled down it looked lovely and fluffy and the skewer came out clean but sank as it cooled. What did I do wrong please.
Love this @cupcake Jemma @cupcake Jemma I would love if you do a recipe on your 6 layer Neapolitan cake It's my sister's birthday nearly and she has asked for this recipe for so long Please
I would have guessed pumpkin sponge from the IG teasing (to actually have an orange ingredient in an orange cake xD) but I guess vanilla was smarter for a chocolate ganache :p
Is the "top coat" technique she does common? I've always struggled with that top-to-sides corner and seeing this, it's occurring to me maybe I was trying to apply too much frosting at once. I'll have to try thin coats with chilling in between next time
I have usually heard it being called the "crumb coat" because the purpose is to not get the crumbs on the visible part but it totally makes sense that it would help get sharper edges. I need to have more patience to do that :p
As the other commentor said I've always heard it referred to as a crumb coat but yes it's very common. At least from the Pro bakers I follow. You don't need to use a lot of frosting when doing it. Just enough to cover any crumbs and you're good. Once it's had its time to set up (harden) that's when you can go in with a good amount of frosting. Those plastic scrapers are very handy. Get one if you don't already have one. I noticed a huge difference (not applying too much frosting and my level of frustration) after buying/using it. Good luck. Happy baking...
I just watched a video that said that cream cheese was a disgusting American thing. I was a bit offended since I love the stuff and cream cheese in icing is amazing. So thank you for the vindication!
Great idea for Halloween. Just got your new book this morning 🤗. Love it! The pictures are amazing, recipes are easy to follow. This book is "un petit bijoux". Sending 💕from French Canada.
I was hoping it was going to be orange flavored too. Hmm, not sure if the acid from the orange would effect the buttermilk. One way to make buttermilk if you don't have the reg on hand is to add vinegar or lemon juice so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Then again. There's a science to baking so I'd do some research before attempting it... 🤷♀️
The newer ovens are mostly fan assisted these days. If your oven has a setting that allows you it move the hot air around inside it with a fan, that will be it. It allows you to cook food more evenly and reduce the heat setting by 10 degrees celcius or 50 degrees F.
Totally appreciate that, however, there are lots of people that do enjoy Halloween so we'd appreciate if we could keep the comments section a happy place 🎃
This one is the opposite of the one that was done I think 2021 or so with black chocolate cake and orange frosting with pumpkin designs ,I would love to make the cake orange flavored cake
