I wanna know what you’re piling onto your plate this holiday season - are you all about the turkey or are you saving room for dessert? 😏 and let’s settle the debate: is sweet potato casserole a side dish or a sneaky dessert in disguise? 🤔
Hey Yo! It's a side dish, it's not made the same way as the Sweet Potato Pie..AND the "yams" are not always topped with marshmellows, its 'glazed'...😁😘
I kinda wonder what a caked version of the Pickled Eggplant and Hot peppers from the 'Wheel of Misfortune' cake would be like. (The memories of that were pretty awkward (two of the worst things to combine with cake, hot spice and vinegar eggplant)).
Pumpkin pie is the real dessert here. Sweet potato casserole is a side dish. The "yams" are large chunks with brown sugar and marshmallows, rather than a smooth filling. Sweet potato pie is the smooth filling like pumpkin, but with a very different taste (my recipe has grated orange peel and some fresh orange juice). I personally don't like sweet potatoes in any form.
Happy Thanksgiving Yolanda! First off, Sweet Potato Casserole is NOT a dessert it's a SIDE DISH for the majority of folks especially in the Black household, the dessert for us is Sweet Potato Pie but NOT pumpkin. And YES we will often have BOTH the casserole AND the Sweet Potato Pie for Thanksgiving Dinner, they are not made the same.👍🏾👍🏾
Most Americans don’t consider sweet potato casserole a dessert. It’s part of the actual meal. Sweet potato pie on the other hand, is a dessert! I prefer a classic pumpkin pie though!
Amazing cake creation for Thanksgiving nostalgic and heart warming. It's something that will bring the family close together and be thankful for the blessings.
We have sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie! We actually make our sweet potatoes differently though. Instead of topping it with marshmallows, we mix butter, nuts and a little brown sugar and put it on top. It caramelizes just a bit and it's amazing.
I'm American and my family always had "candied yams" which is basically the same as you made but because it is SO rich, my tradition is now simply baked, whole sweet potatoes with real butter mixed up inside. We love it and it is MUCH healthier! All of these cakes were awesome but the turkey....UH-mazing!!! Gobble gobble!
I haven’t watched ur vids since middle school and I have now graduated high school…. I swear you got me into my love for bakinggggg. So nostalgic I love uu!🫶🏾🫶🏾🥹
I always loved your turkey cake. I remember it took you three hours to carve. Plus you called the fondant fleshy colored and came out with the turkey skinator. You even did a fake infomercial for it haha. Thanksgiving this year will be rather small. Only two people as most of my family lives out of town. We are doing homemade macaroni and cheese, popovers, and our family recipe of old fashioned apple cider donuts 🤤
I love Sweet potato casserole and sweet potato pie. We always have pumpkin pie and Turkey. I also sometimes will make a pumpkin dessert that has a pumpkin pie filling but a shortbread crumble top. So yummy! I have also make the crumble topping with pecans, walnuts and a gluten free flour with almond flour in it to make a topping for the pumpkin dessert. It's really good too. I would love to see an apple pie or cherry pie made out of cake. Green bean casserole would be fun as well. Love you videos.
Absolutely amazing creations Yo, I love them all. We don't celebrate thanksgiving here in Australia unfortunately, but I love the Holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🥰
The pumpkin pie slice and turkey cakes are def some of your best. One of my favorite videos to rewatch, especially around the holidays, is the giant pumpkin pie slice cake. Jordan singing the Crumb Coat and Chill song is iconic ❤ Happy holidays Yo and team!
Yolanda!! I need you to make a lobster cake again!! It's been years since the other one and I think you'd make it suuuuuuuuper duper realistic now. Also, I'm thankful for you because your video's ALWAYS cheer me up 🌹
I make pumpkin flan for myself because i don't like pumpkin pie lol. Or apple pie if it is not from a grocery store (has to be from a legit pie stand).
I would be so sad if I got a side dish as a dessert and no pie. In my house the dessert debate is between pecan pie and pumpkin pie, or some other unusual pie. When having thanksgiving at my partner's house it's a "the more the merrier" approach. I made a raspberry pie and a banoffee pie this year. (Pumpkin pie was still there, brought by mom).
Fun fat American fact: the sweet potato casserole is a main dish not a dessert. On another note, I'm doing a pumpkin tart for one, a proper pumpkin pie with some maple toffee bits for another, and a pretzel crust chocolate peanut butter pie for another. All gluten free because I have Celiac.
I made mac and cheese way back in the early days! You can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pyqk9l-kMqU.htmlfeature=shared
The domesticated turkeys you're used to seeing have been bred to have large breasts therefore too heavy to fly, so they don't use their wings like wild turkeys.
