LOL at Ben making lemonade:”There aren’t many food channels where you’d watch doing something so wrong in order to learn. I think that’s something we offer” 🤣
It’s a bit backwards but we hope it works!
SORTEDfood it does with me!
@@SortedFood It is routinely proven that we learn more from failure, and learning from the missteps of others helps us to avoid them. How is that not a good educational technique?
@@SortedFood As long as we don't follow the video along while cooking, it's all good.
@@GarrigKitten It's not a good educational technique because we learn from our OWN mistakes. Watching two people make the same mistake means we've internalized the wrong way much more than the right way. Watching them mess up making recipes they don't know by heart may have a certain entertainment value, but it is not educational.
As a swede I can now finally understand how the spaniards must have felt when Jaime did Paella.
I think we need to declare war about this autrosity
Fellow swede here and yeah, sounds about right.
Yeah..... sorry about that 😬
Yeah though us Swedes are to nice to send death threats, but we will complain about it 😆
Ha, ingen av oss i kommentarsfältet kan göra en snygg prinsesstårta. De är ju svårt ju!
As a pastry chef from Sweden, I did not expect my Sunday evening being a rollercoaster from curiosity to anxiety to feeling overwhelmingly impressed in fifteen minutes. I would never ever put sugar paste on a Princess Cake - marzipan works just as well for modelling the rose - but other than that: great job guys!
Yes you would never fight over the rose if it was fondant 🤢
and that wasn't even the normies fault since they got the fondant to use from the chefs!
Also, the chefs told them to have 3 layers of sponge. And if you do so, you do sponge - jam - sponge - custard - sponge - cream - marzipan.
GrebbChannel no, the order is actually correct. The sponge on top is to make it easier to cover the dome of cream in the marzipan. Usually the sponge layers are the same thickness though. And you take the top layer, baked side up - jam - bottom layer, baked side down - custard - cream - the middle layer (so you can't see the baked edge near the marzipan) - "crumb coat" of marzipan - marzipan. Thanks to putting the baked/caramelised edges closer to the jam, it gets the impression of not being baked at all. I forgot to flip the sponge on the day's production a couple of weeks back, and there were several customers who asked if I had burned the cake. ^^'
@@FrejaInWonderland I've never made(professionally) or bought one with sponge above the cream. I guess there's no right or wrong way, since princess cake originally don't have raspberry jam either.
James: Yes, we shall wait until they have made all possible mistakes and THEN tell them what they were supposed to do.
Ben: Brilliant Plan!
if ever we needed chetna and the shock collars 🥰🥰🥰
@@meghandailey8807 ahhh let the scream feast begin
When Ben shades he doesn’t just shade, he goes full Mr. Burns and blocks out the sun!
*Jamie lifting the cloche*
Barry: *knowing he's screwed* "Put it back!"
If that isnt me during exam after i look at the first question, i dont know what is HAHA
😂 isn’t this us all!
@@SortedFood er............ but i always start with the last question 1st, sooooo.................... ????
I feel like this is the right response for 2020
Funniest moment 🤣
The put it back wasn't the best bit XD Jamie's face going from joy to horror was just too funny XD
As a swede that has made probably around 100 princess cakes in my life, I approve.
I'm proud of the boys!. I mean they did everything slightly wrong, but they got there in the end, and I bet they tasted great!
I have seen waaay worse looking home baked princess cakes in my days. Also, although I see myself as very experienced at making princess cake, I have NEVER made my own marzipan!
I buy the marzipan ready made and already green, and just roll that out, so I am impressed that they did that. I mean it didn't look professional, and the shade of green is all wrong, but impressive nevertheless 👍
All stores in sweden carry all the parts for this cake, so you can just slap it together. The cake, already cut into three layers. Instant custard cream, and pre-rolled green marzipan that you just take out of the package and drape over the cake. That is the most common way for people to make this cake in sweden I think.
Also, you can buy the cake finished and decorated in all stores, and also as separate slices. They are EVERYWHERE. That is how common this cake is here. It is kind of crazy, and also a little bit boring sometimes.
And the obsession is annoying since I don't like marzipan. There are so many other cakes out there. Why did we have to land on this one.
Men det ska väl inte vara en tårtbotten på toppen? Grädden ska väl vara överst så det blir den snygga rounded top formen?
@@ColeCorvin I know. It's weird. I mean I love it, it's my favourite cake. But even I think it has gone a little too far. It seems like we are obsessed with this cake.
And most of the ones you buy in the stores are pretty boring. It's really only if you buy them from a very good baker, or make it yourself you will understand how good it can be.
I understand your problem with marzipan. Even other cakes tend to be covered in marzipan. Sweden must be one of the countries that consume the most marzipan 🙂
they even try to mix it up by changing the type of jam and the color of the marzipan... You know.. because we swedes love our radical changes... Also woe on the poor store who does any of these changes and still call it princess cake... Many fists will be clenched in pockets...
@@omgweirdozz Jag har för mig att originalreceptet faktiskt säger att du ska avsluta med en tårtbotten, och sen liksom "limma" fast marzipanlocket med ett tunt lager grädde. Jag gör det, för tårtan håller ihop bättre när du sen skär den, så det blir snyggare tårtbitar.
9:09 “So many ballets were written about princesses” - I was fully expecting Ben to start giving us a list of them, complete with dates and composers.
Ah, yes. The most princess-y color; golf course green ⛳⛳😭
Well princesses love to golf, of course. Everyone knows that
I was actually surprised that Barry got to the colour... Jamie, I can understand that coz of his colourblindness but I expected better from Barry,the fancy man.
I mean... Tiana? 😂😂
Merida would like a word
Yeah, actually. What's that all about? I mean you never know... maybe the princesses in Sweden are affiliated with the colour green?🤔🤔😁
"WHY can I not access the part of my brain that happened last week???????"
Same, Barry, same.
😂🤦♂️
James: "I honestly can't be more glad that I am not making this."
Thinking to myself: "Chefs need to do this battle now, but it's gotta be different from original recipe; a fusion type. Would be fun to watch"
Chef's battle: Princess cake but following the instructions in swedish xD
Like Joey said on Friends, Custard - good, jam - good, meat- good!
I think we should just have the chefs do a cake battle. I don’t think we have that yet!
Princess cake, but in a different flavour?
like same construction, but a flavoured cream pate or maybe bayrische creme, mango or citrus flavor, persipan. and a chocolate sponge maybe?
or raspberry chocolate
@@a_lethe_ion I'm not sure exactly what that combination would be called, but if you change too many of the flavours of a Princess Cake it becomes a different cake. We have more than one marsipan covered cake you see.
Originally "Green cake" in the 1920-50 prinsessornas kokbok, "the princesses cookbook" by houskeeping teacher Jenny Åkerström-Söderström (three pupils in her posh Stockholm school were princesses).
Jamie’s facial expression at the initial reveal of the cake was the highlight of this video for me.
That, and the “WHAT IS THIS?!” meltdown from Barry at 12:04
he's smiling for a second and tgen 😂😂
“Put it back, put it back” is my theme song for 2020
put that thing back where it came from, or so help me, so help me!
@@boa_firebrand thanks for making me giggle 🤭
@@beverleynunes2795 no problemo my friend.
😂😂😂😂
While I do love to learn from these videos...
James standing in the back trying so hard to keep his hands and words to himself while watching people fail is my absolutely favorite thing.
The moment Barry said, “Put the cloche back down” I started rolling😂 and did not stop! This recipe has it all and then some - great job on flavor and form Jaime and Barry! Keep THESE coming; absolutely love it!!
"There are going to be two very disappointed Swedish princesses later."
And a couple thousand amused people on UA-cam, but you know, little things.
Given that the elite all seem to be pedos, I'm happy to be separated from them, especially royals and Princes/princesses
How did he know that sweden have two princesses?
The amount of shade from the chefs is incredible 🤣🤣 my sunday definitely got 100% better watching this 🥰😂
🙌🙌🙌
James' look of astonishment when Barry's cake is sliced, and his "What?!?!" totally made my day, he definitely wasn't expecting that to look even *remotely* like it was supposed to :D
I'm not sure about everyone else but I really miss the ultimate food battles
Me the shockings. 😑
"Put it back" 😂😂😂 I'm dying
😂
You guys have done so well still creating great content during all the pandemic nonsense! It's a welcome treat to have consistently good videos throughout the week :)
Thank you - comments like this really do mean a lot to the whole team 😁
We’re so glad you’re enjoying the vids!
0:50 I love how Jamie is all smiles then he lifts the cloche and its like someone kicked him in the plums.
Watching this made me respect every Swedish pattiserie even more. This cake is an absolute staple everywhere.
Honestly I think this is the time to simply give them both the win. Those cakes looked difficult and the fact that they both produced a good product is a victory in itself.
This is nice supprise. This is the standard birthday cake for every kid in Sweden.
And what a cake to have! 🤤🤤🤤
Are they store bough? This seems hugely complicated for the average parent/grandparent.
You must all be princesses 👑 😂
@@adde9506 it really depends. Then again you can buy the sponge, marsipan and custard already made to assemble :)
@@adde9506 in my experience, yes. I can't remember any of the times I've had home made princess cake, I know I has happened though.
Sorted really has been one of the most consistently good things throughout the whole mess of the past few months. It's so nice to always have these videos to look forward to 😊
Just want to put it out there that as a Swede I have never had a cake with the sponge directly underneath the marzipan.
The marzipan should lie directly on top of the mound of whipped cream.
3 videos this week! You're spoiling us, guys
We thought you guys deserved a little treat 😉
@@SortedFood Please keep them coming love your videos
Keep them coming but make sure you take of your health and families !!
No one thought that they should dress up as princesses while making princess cake?? Depressing
I really want to believe Jamie is deliberately saying “Meshuggah” instead of “my sugar”
I don't know what I love more, the looks on the chefs' faces as each mistake is made, or James channeling his inner Mary Berry with vague instructions
Jamie did such a good job considering he really isn't a desert or cake person
don't forget color blind XP ... so much green
The only thing I thought was a bit off was the thickness of the marzipan so it ended up cracking and not fitting the dome shape of the torte. But other than they both did really well lol
if it was a swedish princess steak, he'd be all over it. :D
First thought, "Where's Mike?"
Edit: "Screw You, and Screw You Too!" while pointing sassy-like... Nevermind, There was the Mike hidden inside Barry all along.
Probably behind the camera but wherever he is, he is undoubtedly happy to be excluded from the video/challenge.
100%
As a former pastry chef from Sweden, this has me crying with laughter. 😊
I work as a pastry chef in Sweden and I make at least 70 of these cakes a week and I think you guys did a good job! I also think Jamie is the winner in this one, since his layers were better and the cake had more height to is as Ben sliced it 😁
Well done!
Highkey love the increasing levels of difficulty when it comes to these battles to showcase everyone’s growth!!!!!
Barry should win because he's basically the princess of Sorted. ❤
he really is
A rose gold princess ond might say
"I have my own problems, Barry." I felt that in my soul.
I don't know about everyone else but I always get more enjoyment out of the episodes where Baz and Jamie work together rather than battle each other. It's always fun seeing the rivalry but when both of them pitch effort into impressing the chefs it melts my heart 🥺🥺 more co-operation videos!!
As a swede I have very mixed feeling about the result. Definitly looks edible but it does leave a lot to desire :P Also, that mossgreen cover makes it look a little scarry.
😂 it looked like oscar the grouch green
Well, they never said it was a nice fairy princess did they? She might be a mean witch princess.
@@Reyn_Roadstorm That is very true. There are some sketchy royalties.
Eh, honestly, it's the neon green that scared me a bit when I had princess cake in Sweden 😂 moss green seems less intimidating ;)
Reyn Roadstorm we do know who the princesses were. It was three sisters. One the mother of the present king of Norway and one the mother of the present queen of Denmark.
“He’s been copying from you all this time, dude.” - James Alastair Currie, 2020.
A line heard in Schools Worldwide.
The Chef Shade loses a little of its punch when the chefs haven’t made the cake they’re using for comparison. I’d love to see James and Ben in a Swedish Princess Cake battle!
9:44 wasn’t expecting such a bopping theme for coloring dough green
0:51 also the look of instant horror on Jamie’s face is a mood
I like how every time these 2 cook james is like "someone end my suffering" 😂
Sometimes it’s just too painful for him to watch 😂
@@SortedFood I know, its beautiful to watch
1:01 Kinda hurt Barry doesn't know us that well and doesn't realize this is *exactly* on brand with the Sorted fans. 🙃
This needs a Part 2: Chef Edition; see how James and Ben get on without practice.
Great work, guys! 😃 And here's a Swedish traditional cake fact/superstition for you: if you are single and your slice of cake lands upright on the plate, this means you will be married this year. If the slice lands on its side, you will not be married this year. Both Ben's prinsess-tårta slices were upright on the plate, so expect wedding bells before New Years, Ben! 😁
I can't really describe what I was feeling watching Barry pour milk into the corn flour, but I'm gonna go with concerned and exasperated.
At this point I've started liking the videos before I've even made it through the intro. That's the quality of content and how amazing the mad ladd are
Can we have a chef demonstrate the right way at the end of such specific dish recreation episodes, please? It would bring together the whole thing and we know both the right way and the stupid mistakes we will most likely make, courtesy, the normals
V M how to cook that has a good explanation
With a grandma vacationing in London as the guest judge, an otherwise expert, or something like that. (There was that nice nutritionalist who came in for that one episode on probiotics, I believe.)
I'd like to see the chefs in the hot seat every now and again.
I agree, I would like to see the proper way to make it and a tasting for everyone to compare in the end.
This reminds me of the lovely technical from Great British Bake off.
😉 and again, „pass it on - Trifle“, sweet or savory, three layers each with minimum height in a big glass bowl 👍🏻❤️
Sweet *and* savory for maximum chaos!
Can I just mention how horrified I am at "savoury" trifle.
What is this???? The thanksgiving friends episode where Rachel makes the wrong trifle? I love it!!!!!! That is undoubtedly what will happen. There will be a layer of Shepherd's Pie in therr for sure!
I love how Jamie looked so done with everything the moment the video started
*Pass It On: Alternative sweeteners!* Make a dessert without using sugar~! You could use things like agave, dates, honey, maple syrup..... and other things. **BUT** the same alternative can't be used twice (for more than one round), even if someone used more than one.
(Jamie uses honey & maple syrup, Barry can only use agave or dates, and so on)
Ben: remember what you did wrong in the mille feuille episode and learn from your mistakes
Also Ben: *pronounces mille feuille wrong again*
😂
The return of the MILF WAY ! As a french it hurts my ears.
@@jessicadegalway9120 As a Canadian, I agree.
@@Pavium On se comprend cher ami Francophone ☺️
To be fair Feuille is a really hard word for English speakers to pronounce. Right up there with throat for French speakers (at least here in Canada. they have a bad habit of saying Troath.)
I love the videos that make James exasperated. The faces he makes when the boys start doing something wrong are such a mood.
And Ben just could not help himself, eventually giving guidelines...
Jamie's face after lifting the cloche bahah
6:08 *Ben has mastered* the unique ability of positive passive aggressiveness.
Since James said, "I honestly couldn't be more glad that I'm not making this." means that the normals should have the chefs make this.
Haven’t watched the video yet but why is this giving me flashbacks to the chocolate tart/mousse battle?? 😂😂 love u guys
1:26 so beautiful in fact the air and the background shook
OMG . Jamie's eyes when he lifts the cloche. They simply said WTF! LOL.
"Give me a hand Jamie!" "I have my own problems Barry!" Pure gold!
Wow, third video this week, I’m loving it. LETS GOOO!! 💛💛
PETITION TO SEE ‘Judgemental James’ as a Children’s Book aimed at fussy eaters. Someone in the comments on the previous video volunteered to do the Illustration and another person wrote a few lines.
As a Swede who is a keen baker and worked at a bakery where I saw my boss pump these out at a rate of one each 8 min, I have to say I’m pretty impressed! I mean they aren’t perfect but for a first time they are really not bad. Homemade marzipan is a real Pain to work with and it’s very easy to use too much dye. If I was served one of these homemade cakes at a party I’d be impressed.
I love how the princess cake got its name!
Also, the chefs need to do this now.
Can’t express how much it means to have you guys posting excellent videos during this pandemic. The joy & laughter you bring are a gift to everyone. Thank you for yet another great video💗 ps - lets hope the Swedes are more understanding than the Spaniards
As they both look like pretty swamp princesses, it's a draw from me as well 😂😂
Weekly petition for a "Drunk Chefs remote control sober normals" I need it in my life you guys it would be so funny!
I love this format! It’s awesome seeing Jamie and Baz learning how to make something on the fly and while it’s a competition still being supportive and proud of themselves and each other! Love it! Can you please make an American Pecan Pie with this format, it’s my favorite fall dessert and I would love to see how they do 💙
I am thoroughly impressed with both of these. I don’t think you can really count as Normals any more though!
I feel like Ben and James swapped personalities during the bake! Ben being snarky af and James offering helpful criticism.
I've watched so much sorted in the past 6 months that "crack your eggs, bake" is now hilarious to me
Loved this, my mum is from Sweden and I got a prinsesstårta for my 18th birthday. It is delicious and one of my favourite cakes. I remember when they did this on bake off and my mum got annoyed because most swedes know how hard it is to make and so do the sensible thing and buy one from a bakery.
Fun fact: This cake was invented by Jenny Åkerström for the daughters of Prince Carl of Sweden and is named in their honour as they loved it so much.
As a Swede, this was fantastic. Next up; Have the Chefs do it!
I vote for Jamie. Even though Barry's sponge was thinner and looked closer to the actual cake
As a Swedish pastry chef I think this is brilliant. You never see a not Swedish cooking show acctualy doing the traditional cake, This is exactly how we do it, and my vote is Barry. The shape is often the hard thing to get right and he did it better. And the sponge should be that thin and nice to not steal the show in this cake. Well done!
Thoroughly Enjoyed This Video!!
Both did outstanding and have come so far with their cooking/baking skills!!
Ebbers: "Who made the best Princess Cake?"
Me: "The person who baked the one you had at the start."
As a swede, just came for the "as a swede.." -comments.
The look on Jamie`s face when the cake is revealed is priceless!
Jamie and Barry being made to do recipes from the bake off technical challenges is my favorite current thing ever
Can we get a completely silent battle/vid/etc. completely narrated by Janice? :D
The inevitable moment James moves his hands over his mouth to stop himself from saying anything.
I agree on this one being a draw. Both did different things better or worse and I like that. I also have never preferred Jamie's decorations before so I totally see where Ebbers is coming from here. I think they both did amazingly well and I really want to see James and Ebbers do a cake battle next. It's only fair and it might soothe Jamie and Barry's souls (or, you know, egos) a bit.
I have to agree with James. Barry's cake looks pretty good and his fondant rose is beautiful.
it's tough, but i think i'm putting in a vote for Barry in this one. it seemed more balanced, and the layers were better.
As a Swede this makes me so happy, prinsesstårta is the best cake ever!
I feel like I wanna go to Sweden just to taste some prinsesstårta.
Gott men överskattad tkr jag
Good job boys!! Love ya!
Jamie’s face in response to the “not enough jam” comment. Gold.
Just an fyi, classic princess cakes dont have jam. Opera cakes do though but they also have pink instead of green marzipan.
Wat?? Everytime ive bought a princess cake it has had jan?
@David Håkansson that's incorrect. Jam in princess cakes are a modern twist. Classically they do not have jam. So no, they in fact do not always have jam.
@@Zara2010gSm didnt say you cant buy them with jam in lol i said jam in princess cakes arent CLASSIC. Meaning jam in them are a modern twist. So if all the ones you've bought has had jam in them then you've only eaten ones with a modern twist and not the classic ones that do not contain jam
Also the third cake layer is a modern invention for lazy pastry chefs and bakery’s to get a smoother top. The original did the dome with only cream...
I feel sorry for Ben some days, he seems like a dad who has to scold his kids on some of these and he just does not want to XD
But in all seriousness well done and im glad i clicked Subscribe back in 2018
The face Jamie makes when he sees what’s under the cloche is hilarious, an immediate change from happy to absolute devo 😂
For as much as i don't fancy cooking for myself after a day in the kitchen at work i can't get enough of watching the sorted team cook, and sometimes attempting to cook!
This is such a delicious cake - everyone must try it
I have always wanted to eat one of these!
Tea and Liquor I had it in Stockholm last autumn. It was everything I dreamed of and then some!!! I only like marzipan with Princess Cake and British Christmas Cake/ Loaf.
Here they are the perfect goto cake, have atleast 2-3 of em every year :D
I already love this challenge
I've never clicked a Sorted video faster. this cake has always been in my life and has never been topped. it's a solid classic
