    Jemma I feel like I've almost mastered buttercream and I've made great cupcakes too! because of watching your frosting techniques and using the grams for the good butter and sugar and milk it's just been amazing and I've been baking for years and I love it but thank you so much!

    hey Jemma, could you do a video about the different kinds of sugar, what to use them for and what they do in a cake or cookie. I'm sometimes a bit confused about the different kinds like dark brown, light brown, demerara, white sugar, etc.
    greetings and lots of love :) 💕

    Hi, Jemma. Can you please please please do a video about how much icing do we need if we're making different sizes of cakes or if we're combining stuff from different recipes. I do this quite often and I never know how much I need 😑.
    Love your channel and the recipes ❤ xo

      Really good request! Usually a regular buttercream batch makes way more for 12 standard cupcakes or even a 2 inch cake. And you cant really save it for quite long or just eat with a spoon like pudding!! Often I find baffled how much to use for a 4 layer cake or a bigger 10 inch cake.

I made a 2 tier Ferrero rocher cake yesterday and attempted a drip but it went terribly, my chocolate drips melted the buttercream, and were way to thick so they didn’t drip they were also pretty lumpy and now I see that I overheated it, I’m trying this today on the cake and hopefully it goes a lot better. Thanks for these tips!

    O my Lord everything that could go wrong did go wrong..my ganache was too thick, the top shot off my squeeze bottle mid drip spilling ganache all down the sides..hot humid day in sunny Aus so buttercream softened really quickly.. crappy turntable got stuck, crooked and wobbly (note to self don't scrimp on key baking equipment) but I have learnt lot of repair tricks from you guys so persevered and got a "good enough" first effort to give to my newly wed neighbours as a wedding celebration cake..looked very home baked, but I learnt a lot..thanks Jemma

    @Akitten84 5 років тому +17

    Lovely drips, milady! Just curious if after the top ganache has settled in the fridge, does it smooth out completely, making it look glassy or is there another technique that you would use for that? Every ganache covered cake I’ve seen has that perfectly shiny smooth look to it.
    Love the apron, too, beeteedubs 😉

Is it possible that may I ever make a drip cake over it? i tried it once(before find this video), and the ganache on contact with the cream, got wet and melted down. If you can teach me how to do it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks and best regards!

    Hi - I love you videos! I have used the white choc drip recipe a couple of times. The drip is perfect consistency but I am finding that it goes very hard when it sets up so if I put it all over the top as well it can crack when cutting the cake rather than cutting through nicely. What would make that happen please? I’ve followed the recipe exactly but I wondered if the quality of cocoa butter would make a difference? (I use the suoerwhite powder too. Would appreciate any advice please. Thanks so much x

    Can you add black food coloring to the dark chocolate ganache? I’m trying to do this for my daughters birthday cake Friday, fingers crossed it works out! Do you have any suggestions in the way of coloring the cake rainbow colors too? Or the icing outside around the cake and in between the layers black? Thanks!!

    Hey Jemma! first thing first, I love your accent, style and channel. I follow quite a lot of your videos, and you explain everything so nice and simple. I have a question. can you do the drip effect over sprinkles? like I want my entire cake covered in sprinkles and on top do a what drip. what do you think? is it possible and more importantly if so... is it recomandable?
