As we take a short holiday break, we want to treat you to some of our favorite episodes from our Patreon account. This episode is a special one, showcasing the process of creating a wedding cake in 2022 for our producer, director, and longtime friend, Vincent Cross, and his wife, Shaelin. The chosen theme for their celebration includes layers inspired by tiramisu and funfetti sheet cake. Follow along as I try to transport from NYC to Austin, TX.
For those curious about the tiramisu cake recipe, it's featured on our channel from a year ago. While we're gearing up for new episodes, we hope you consider joining our Patreon community and subscribing to our UA-cam channel for more content. We'll be back with brand new episodes soon!

Thanks, Claire! You're the best!!
@@vcross05 Happy Anniversary, Vinny!
HOLY LOGISTICS -__-" LOL
@@CSaffitzhi Claire! I was wondering if it was possible for you to share the amount of portions you get out of every cake, thank you! Love all your recipes!
@@mariacamilaserranomelo6307 just Google "cake cutting guide." You'll get all kinds of charts for all different kinds of cakes.☺️
Harris as cameraman is like every loving husband, including me. Thumb on lens, blind reassurance, useless questions, I love it.
We finally got Vinny on camera 😂
I've been waiting for YEARS
Vinny was definitely in some of Brad's videos on BA.
@@sibilaiton Yeaaah but Brad only videos never really intrigued me. Group ones with him were fine though. XD
Claire must really love Vinny to have gone through all this trouble of travelling with ALL of this across states and having to finish it in a kitchen that isn't hers lol. Watching it I'm overwhelmed.
They probably paid her. Everyone has money for a cake in their budget and Claire probably was able to do it for cheaper than your average cake place since she has less overhead costs.
Vinny is a huge part as to why Claire is successful
@@funkychilldudeI’m pretty sure she did it for free, as her wedding gift.
@@funkychilldude betting Claire made the cake as a gift and only charged the overnight shipping costs
You really find out who your real friends are when you have a wedding.
A cake cutting guide with diagrams and not just written instructions is a very Claire thing to do😂😅
I gasped. Not a baker but that's totally something I'd do too😭
Absolutely obsessed with Harris’s commentary while Claire unpacks those boxes
Raw cookie dough!
And the thumb over the lens, chefs kiss.
Harris is the most chill and would have to be to deal with our beautiful, meticulous, hilarious Claire 🥰
@@robinc6746 they are the most perfect foil to each other
Harris : “You’re just…very organized”
Claire : “I know” 😆
The opening of this video is the most Claire thing ever.
I could not agree more with this statement if I wanted to
No one gets confirmation on anything like Claire does
"Claire Bear" *my heart*
I kind of love the chaos that Harris brings every time he's around, the finger in frame, the late info, the requests for bacon and cookie dough, just such a perfect foil for Claire's perfectly organized sweetness.
Props to Harris for being patient on camera duty!!!!! Love the video and loved Claire's dress. We need a video of Claire and Harris cooking together. I can tell from their interactions it would be super interesting.
And even at weddings Claire still has to sign a book somewhere 😂
I was coming here to comment this
I SOOOO appreciate this behind the scenes. While I love the edited cooking assembling and serving videos we all see online, that outright omits the amazing planning, labor, strategy, wins AND problems that are the reality of baking projects. Claire is a badass, even when things went wrong. Critical thinking skills 10/10.
Ok that cake is unreal, but can we talk about Claire’s rainbow keyboard?? 😍😍😍😍
I came to the comments to say this 😂
On a Macbook Pro. How the hell?
@@sundaynightdrunk its a silicone keyboard cover in rainbow colours
@@wegetitdumbass I figured but it's super-flat and looked to be illuminated.
@@sundaynightdrunk I've never seen such a mod before, it looks fun.
Anyways, it being a MacBook Pro probably makes it easier, because there's only so many MacBook models, so the lights are more likely to be compatible. Kinda like finding a case for a iPhone.
You do have to install it yourself, so you do run into the risk of breaking your MacBook Pro.
Though if Claire didn't do it herself, she might have asked someone else to do it. Or maybe it was simply a really expensive gift?
I love that Claire was trying to get outta there while they were taking pictures but they both didn’t care lol
I am so incredibly impressed by that packing. Was not expecting literally all of the supplies to come out of the box, including a stapler xD The wedding reception is adorable.
This is so wholesome to see you showing up for Vinny & his beautiful wife and coming HARD with such gorgeous cakes for the happy couple! I laughed out loud at the cutting diagrams - Claire is a force to be reckoned with & I applaud her attention to ALL details! Happy Congratulations!
I love how Harris’ finger slowly comes into frame once you guys get to Texas 😂
i strive to be like claire in the things i do... methodical with a little bit of neurosis. having lots of fun. a touch of brilliancy. and in the end enjoy the result of my hard work with child-like happiness like when she takes a bite out of a good dessert. idk, i just find it very awe-inspiring. harris was like you are v organized. and she was like i know moving on. hahaha i love ):
i’d complain about a thumb in the shot on literally any other video, but here it’s so comfy like grandma and grandpa are so proud of the cake supply organization
Claire unpacking all the cakes and equipment onto the kitchen counter percariously hanging over the edge had me on the edge of my seat
If I knew there would be a Claire Saffitz cake at a wedding, I would do everything within my power to become Vinnys best friend to get an invite.
I don’t think that I’ve seen Claire this stressed since the old Gourmet Makes videos!
Also - if I was at a wedding and I knew that the cake was made by Claire Saffitz, there’s no way that I wouldn’t be having some. I hope that there was enough to go around!
Claire's faces at Harris while unboxing the cake are too good I love her so much
Many UA-cam videos can teach you how to make Italian Meringue Buttercream, but only Claire can capture the time, care and dedication it takes to make a Wedding cake. As a non-professional baker I made one once for a very good friend and it's an experience I will never forget. For a week I was in a state of being hyper-organized, comletely Zen, panicking, full of love and joy, super-focused all at the same time. Beautiful video!
I didn't know I needed tiramisu cake until now.
I am in awe of just the sheer amount of work and planning this all took. The cakes look amazing!!! Also, cheers to the beautiful couple!!
That is love, you can tell claire loves her friends and you can tell Claire’s friends love her. You have the most beautiful spirit and soul. Your friends appreciate you, we all appreciate you
bruh unwrapping the boxes at the airbnb had me STRESSSED
vinny is truly blessed, claire is the friend everyone deserves
I love Claire so much! I was born and raised in Indonesia, and during pandemic i was struggling so much as a college student in her final year trying to graduate and find a job. I found comfort in watching her in BA account and i still follow her until now. I got her book and just so in love with it! She’s such a personality and the reason for my passion for baking. In 2022 i move to Austin, TX for school and just the fact that she was here where i am was so wild and just like a dream come true. I know its too dramatic but it’s crazy where i was then and where i am now. Love you claire!
Sometimes I forget that Claire went to Harvard, but then I see videos like this and it explains everything.
You are an absolutely insane genius . . . in the most admirable way possible! We were cackling with pure delight when you unpacked those boxes you shipped to yourself. What a great friend you are, too! Vinny is truly fortunate.
Leave it to Claire to make designing, baking, transporting, and decorating a wedding cake look so effortless!
I would not say effortless, more like EXTREMELY WELL PREPARED hahahaha x)
@@TheMademoiselleyumiyeah. looked like an overwhelming amount of effort.
I was stressed watching it. I can't imagine the stress DOING it!
"You're very organised"
"I know"
❤😂
mom was a baker and i understood the severity of carrying literally EVERYTHING 🤣
The amount of minute detailing and thoughts put into each item is amazing. Claire being Claire is the most Claire thing ever❤.
I wish everyone has their personal Claire in life 😇
I am awed by Claire’s organizational skills… preordering the groceries is genius. I adore the elegance of the cakes, would do pretty much anything to try a slice!
Claire being Claire is the best!!!
I don't know if I love or hate that someone apparently brought their book so Caire can autograph it 🙈
Oh yeah and Shaelin's face when she tasted the cake was priceless. That screamed "SO GOOD!".
Her book was one of the prizes during Chicken Shit Bingo. 🐓
Okay then asking her to autograph it makes sense. 😅 @@vcross05
Also I will pretend to already know what Chicken Shit Bingo is. 😂 Though I can imagine the name is self-explanatory.
@@Hikariko11 There's a bingo board on the ground that's large and then they put chickens on top to walk around on it and where they shit is the "bingo" number.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how stunning the bride is?! Her and Cal make a striking couple.
This is such a Claire project and she did it in such a Claire way. All that gourmet makes experience came in handy here
HER DRESS 😍😍 AND HER CAKE! I am so happy for them, what a wonderful evening!
omg “you should keep raw cookie dough on hand at all times”
“i do”
period claire i get it
This is just awesome and wonderful! I can see how much Claire cares for Vinny, and how she shows her love through baking. Her dedication to making it "just right" is so clear! Plus, the video at the wedding is priceless because Claire is trying to get out of the shot so Vinny and Shaelin can have the moment to themselves - and they seem completely happy to share the moment with Claire... Priceless. Yes, I love the precise planning, including cake-cutting diagrams, pre-ordering groceries, and the perfect packing of the shipped items. But all in all, this is an act of love. Brava, Claire! Mazel Tov, Vinny and Shaelin! Kudos to Harris for loving support and camera work.
The sheer amount of work and dedication Claire put into this wedding cake made me emotional
Claire is an ABSOLUTE bestie. Like she's making the freaking wedding cake??? and transporting it??? A TRUE QUEEN.
The softness, freshness, delicacy and melding of flavors of the wedding cake comes through on-screen! This was a delicious escape. Best wishes to the handsome, happy couple!!! 🥂
Wow, wow, wow! The cake! The logistics of making cake for 160! The logistics of making cake for the other side of the country! Holy cow! I’m so impressed! It was so beautiful and clearly delicious! Thank you so much for showing part of the journey!
CLAIRE YOU ARE A LEGEND!! I am on the 8minute mark and i am SOOOOOOOO overwhelmed lmao THIS IS LIKE ACTS OF SERVICE AS LOVE LANGUAGE x100000
VINNY, CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING MARRIED!! WE LOVE YOU!!
Congratulations, Vinny & Shaelin! Anther feat for you, Claire!
literally perfect! I can't believe our vinny is all grown up and married 😭 claire your cake was amazing and I bet tasted unreal. seeing how you organized everything and make every detail perfect including the cutting chart really shows how much you care. vinny couldn't ask for a better friend :)
Balancing the cakes on the edge of the island had me STRESSING
What timing, I just rewatched the video where you made the scaled down cake. It's been a rough end of year and your videos have been a big comfort to me, so thank you Claire. We all really appreciate it!
I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING MORE HIGH PRESSURE AND STRESSFUL THAN MAKING A WEDDING CAKE for anyone
the eyes of the bride where the ultimate affirmation one could get about the taste of a cake 🥺♥️♥️♥️
I would trust Claire with literally anything. So organized!
Omg the cake cutting diagram at the end for the round cakes is a game changer for me!
I love how organized everything is omg and the cake slice diagram. I'm taking notes! Also "Claire-bear". 🥺 (Hey, Vinny and now-wife look gorgeous!)
the chart on how to cut the cake for more servings. unmatched
I’m from AR, and when I tell you Stephanie wanted to greet you with a hug…😂 and she got a shake..
what an honor it is to have Claire make you your out of state wedding cake!!! 😭💖
I made the tiramisu cake a while back and its honestly my favorite cake. My husband isnt usually a fan of cake either but it became his favorite. Claire is so amazing at what she does.
Congratulations Vinny!🎉 Claire, the cakes looked amazing! Those were some lucky guests!
So beautiful!!! Stunning cakes, stunning bride and groom, stunning friendship. This is so joyful to watch.
Happy New Year Claire, Harris, Cal and Vinny plus ALL those photogenic and exceptionally lovely cats! Hope you have a nice restful break.
What an incredible process! Thank you so much for sharing all the steps. And may I just say the brides gown was mind blowing❤❤❤
I just made this cake this past weekend and it was incredible
Which one? The fun-fetti cake?
The tiramisu cake, on my list for Saturday.
13:53 The bride's reaction is so perfect!
I am so glad that you showed the party and cutting it. Thanks!
My spirit human. I found someone who is as Type A as I am when traveling and having to cook. This is amazing.
How have you been holding out on us this long. This video is such gold. I love seeing your process. It looks like a super delicious cake that everyone loved.
She has a lot more content on her Patreon, this was posted a year ago if you had subscribed.
Congradulations ! we all finally got to see what The Vinny Camera man looks like
They are such a GORGEOUS couple!
having a Claire made your wedding cake is a privilege on itself
Congrats Vinny. Good on you Claire for being such a good friend.
Congrats Vinny! Beautiful wedding and cake. Great job, Claire!
A Claire Saffitz wedding cake & appearance, plus Tame Impala music at the reception...this is the wedding of my dreams (I'm already married)
Loved the video but oh my GOD how striking are the bride and groom?? Insanely beautiful wedding and couple
Beautiful flower dress matching the cake, you are an icon Claire!
Claire I pray you never stop making videos and recipes. You have so much raw talent ❤ idk what happens behind the scenes but it seems like everything you create in the kitchen is perfect. When I wanna bake something that I’ve never done before and don’t have a recipe for, I type it into UA-cam with your name next to it because I know that it will be the best recipe that I can possibly find for it. I become a better and better baker by simply watching your videos
Loved this video. It's so classy! The hill country is so beautiful, lovely location for a wedding.
As a professional cake decorator the stress she is radiating is so so real. The first few times you do a wedding cake is just sweating bullets and trying to be as type A and prepared as you can be.
Great job, Claire! Simply put, you never fail to inspire. Side note: You looked absolutely STUNNING. ❤
Vinny appreciates you so much making his wedding cake and it looks GORGEOUS ❤
Wow its a gorgeous cake!
Bravo Claire, bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was holding my breath the whole time. That was unbelievable (transporting the cake and everything else than finishing it in Austin)! Wow! You handled it very well Claire!😍🙋🏻♀️
(Recipe please.)
she is so organized. she could get away with making a really good wedding cake!
Somehow this is your best video ever 🥹 Cooking and baking for friends’ parties is just the best (and most stressful) thing ever! Well done 🎉 And then somehow you even managed to get your nails done! You truly are my spirit animal 🐻❄️
the cakes with the flowers on top looked soooooo beautiful 🥹 stunning work as always claire!!
Claire has always given me big sister energy. Willing to do the most for the ones she loves. Harris is amazing backup
Congratulation Vinny! Claire that was really nice! The cakes looked great and for sure they were yummy! MMM...
Happy new year to you all! Blessings!
A tiramisu/ funfetti cake is everything I’ve thought about in a cake but have never been able to actually get and taste, YUM.
a cake baked by thee claire saffitz is just historical
I’m not even 10 minutes in and if this video doesn’t scream VIRGO I don’t know what does 😂 I love you, Claire!!! ❤
Harris, I think I understand what you were saying when you mentioned some of the cake in the freezer at home in NY were still soft and yet hard as a rock once in TX so I was not at all surprised when Claire found out the icing and everything else now needed to be thawed out and reworked. That's a REALLY impressive box if it's so cold it can freeze semi-liquid food items in transit!
This is so awesome! Love seeing all the planning, process, and creativity.
Good job Claire!!! That’s a TON of work!! You’re a good friend ❤ Also, Vinny’s wife’s dress was gorgeous!!!
Felt bad that Claire seemed so stressed during the prep but looks like it was all worth it! Congratulations to the happy couple :)
I would DIE if my wedding cake was made by THE Claire Saffitz.
“…and…floral tape, just in case…”. I’m dead. Claire-Bear is something else. Love her….
