I only like s'mores if the graham crackers are soft first .. But they are not even on my top 20 of things I would choose to have for a treat .. ( go figure )
For you UK people, I would TOTALLY be like "ah, give me some Graham crackers!" They are sweet and delicious. I've literally just eaten them for breakfast many times. They also come in chocolate and cinnamon sugar which are both very delicious. Many of us Americans have fond memories of cinnamon sugar graham crackers and milk. Or just the original. Or chocolate. Amazing! They're so delicious that a company made them into proper biscuits 35 years ago: Teddy Graham. John is crazy.
Best cake I’ve ever had! This is the 2nd year in a row my wife requests this cake for her birthday. I can’t find anything like it in bakeries. Thank you for all of the wonderful desserts!
My husband just exploded a stick of butter in the microwave three days ago! The danger is real. John, I love, love, love that your cakes are beautiful, they look doable, and are fondant-free. Great job!
Not a fan of spiced cakes....I tried this recipe and all my friends and family loved it, I though everything about it was awesome..... except the spiced cake. Tried it again, but used one of your chocolate cake recipes..... 10/10. Awesome, everyone who tried it could say how much they loved it. And I use that marshmallow recipe every chance I get. Love your channel.
My answer would be that nobody on Food Network worth watching anymore besides Alton (who's even been moved to the Cooking Channel himself). They have moved to reality food TV, rather than shows like this.
Kids love graham crackers. When they are under the weather, break large pieces into a bowl, pour on a bit of warm milk and a sprinkle of sugar. For a nice treat, spread with softened butter and serve with a cold glass of milk. You are now becoming so comfortable in front of the camera. You are a natural. Thanks for posting.
Wow. I forgot about that. I used to spread butter on the smooth side of Graham crackers when I was a kid. I still love Graham crackers a lot. I still buy them every so often. Honey Maid is the best even though they are often not the most expensive. Chocolate, cinnamon sugar, or original, they're all amazing plain or dunked in milk. John is crazy.
I guess the 1 person that disliked the video didn't have the patience to view the actual stream. Patiently waiting all the way from Trinidad and Tobago 😉
Thank you for introducing me to cake strips. Cause my cakes can't come out anymore perfect with these strips. I hate trimming my cakes.. By the way, this cake is the bomb.. Absolutely perfect!
I know, I have been watching his videos a lot and am wanting all the little gadgets he features!, But I'm definitely purchasing me some cake strips today since its payday!!!!!!!!
I made this cake and cannot believe how delicious it was and how much fun it was to make!! I’m a novice, for sure, but thoroughly enjoyed making this. Thanks for your recipes and videos.
I made this for my husbands 26 birthday 🎊 party I made 3 different cakes/recipes and everyone said the s’mores cake was da bomb 💣 I’m not a a pro baker but I’m obsessed with baking the right tasty desserts planning my own business it was hard because you definitely need the proper baking utensils but anything is possible with hard dedication and prayer thanks ur a life saver ❤️
John, you are utterly and completely correct on the "never enough" butter is mentioned in recipes. Also, you are a joy to watch and listen too. Thank-you for ALL your videos.
I made this today for a friend’s bday, which happens to be National S’mores Day. It was amazing! Will definitely say that it is sugar overload: had extra toppings so made an extra layer for my husband and I and even one tier was a lot, so 3 tiers must be a killer. I’m glad I used dark chocolate in the frosting and melted. The graham crackers time should be checked at 5 minutes. At 10 mine were slightly caught.
I LOVE the sound you always make when you smack the cake pan upside down on the cooling rack to release the cake. It is a happy sound. Another beautiful cake!
Just made this cake and it was absolutely amazing! Toasting that marshmallow fluff at the end was sooooooo satisfying. And I think I might make that graham cracker crumble for everything now. Wow that was just down right delicious. Thank you!!
You are the embodiment of my inner dialogue while cooking/baking. Your buttering technique is my love language. This sounds insane, but this 40 year old housewife is super stoked.
You make me so excited about baking! I never had the sort of mum/Grandma who taught me & have learnt so much from you! You're a baking God/Genius!!! I love every one of your videos, you make everything feel achievable! I just have one complaint... everything is so yummy & looks delicious I can't bake your recipes fast enough (now the s'mores cake too!) & I'm spending a fortune building my bakeware & pantry up! Thank You John, can't wait for your next masterpiece! 😊
It is always a pleasure watching you bake or more accurately, teach us how to bake ... One table spoon of butter for 8 cups of whatever ... call them out gurl ... 🤪
I just made this wonderful cake for my Birthday Day. It is the first cake I have made for my own birthday, since the passing of my Mother. I needed this technical challenge with the first time of making marshmallow fluff. Thank you! I hope it is as good as it smells.
i have learn to make the cakes not from a box but whit original ingredients thanks to all your videos my kids have love my cakes and cookies and cupcakes so much thanks,,
A wonderful tip I found recently for butter spattered microwaves is: cut a lemon in half into a small bowl of water and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes and leave standing for a few more minutes. It will moisten the walls and top of your microwave and then wipe it clean. It works a treat :)
I love your kitchen, your tools and your baking gadgets....even your kitchen aid mixer.....they are all so classy. You’ve got good taste.....and your recipes are great....👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't remember what I started out looking for but I feel down the Preppy Kitchen rabbit hole. It caught my eye with one of my favorite candies, butter toffee and 4 videos later I'm at the s'mores cake. I'm loving this!!
This man is a gem! I made peanut butter bars from his recipe. They crumbled a little bit when I cut them, but if not for him, I wouldn't have made them.
Made this today for my sons birthday. Made the fluff look like foamy water and had a fish jumping. He loved it! Thanks for posting this recipe! I would post a pic but it looks like we can't put pics here.
Im sooo glad I found your recipe! 😭😭 I've been looking for a cake recipe that has EVERYTHING you've listed.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm going to make this, this weekend for my father in-laws surprise bday party 😍😍😍
I'm just gonna say what I've been thinking for weeks. I'll bet his sons friends will be looking forward to going to their house for birthday parties and any event involving cake for years to come! Lol! Preppy Kitchen guy, I truly enjoy your video's! Look forward to the next one!☺😀
*jawdrop* a work of art, presented in a cheerful, easily understood fashion. I have tried a number of this gentleman's recipes, purchased several items showcased here as well. Results consistently positive. I look forward to uploads on this channel.
11:16 After whipping it like he said, you can also add a TINY (and I mean tiny, since gel food coloring goes a long way) bit of purple gel food coloring. Yellow and purple are complementary colors, so using a small bit of purple cancels out some of the yellow. Still won't be perfect white, but a bit closer. Don't be tempted to use a lot of purple to cancel out all of the yellow, because then your yellow buttercream you wanted to turn white just becomes a shade of purple (which honestly is fine for the most part as long as you like purple, but if you specifically care that it is white for the cake or whatever, then it does matter) This works with royal icing, too, if you're using meringue powder and it discolors the icing (I prefer meringue powder based royal icings for the consistency, opacity, and how it dries, but they always get a slightly yellow tinge to them). Just, again, be sure to err on the side of slightly yellow over accidentally making it purple :) Edit: It seems someone has already commented this, so just take this as a testament that their suggestion works :)
i discovered you randomly today when i was looking for recipes of pumpkin spice macarons and a few hours later, i discovered your youtube channel. thank you universe for leading me to you!
What an beautiful and unique looking cake! It’s absolutely stunning! I already have a food processor however, l do know that Breville puts a “Molded Sticker” with the Model and/ or Serial Numbers on everything they make. Sometimes there’s even a “Batch #” that refers to the date it was manufactured.
There's so much to enjoy in this video. But you surprised a laugh out of me at 10:58 with the finger point and "Don't." And it worked! The powdered sugar didn't fly out of the mixer. Ha!
All these comments about "no girl, that's not how it's gonna work." And I'm just like, where does he say this??!! I HAD to go back. And yeah, not sure how but I missed it lol. What I DIDN'T miss and thought was weird is that you said "a little bit of a blessing of allspice." Lol. I have NEVER heard anyone ever say that!! I love your videos. I'm gonna be one busy chick for awhile...
I would love to try this recipe! It looks decadent!! I was wondering how I can make this cake into 8” layers? Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations!
I don't even like S'mores but I just HAVE to watch every video you post, so...
I don't either but I wanted to add a marshmallow layer to a cake for my dad's birthday so I'm here for the marshmallow
How do you not like S’mores
I only like s'mores if the graham crackers are soft first .. But they are not even on my top 20 of things I would choose to have for a treat .. ( go figure )
@@tessiemadden2259 EXACTLY I’m so offended 😂
I'm not a s'mores person either but I love watching John do his videos.
"no girl, that's not how it's gonna work" i appreciate your sass.
😆 lol
Love his personality!!!
Such a nice 😊 person !!!!
For you UK people, I would TOTALLY be like "ah, give me some Graham crackers!" They are sweet and delicious. I've literally just eaten them for breakfast many times.

They're so delicious that a company made them into proper biscuits 35 years ago: Teddy Graham.
John is crazy.
I also love him because he's not one of those guys who only makes nutritional crap. He makes real stuff, that real people eat! I love him for that!
Best cake I’ve ever had! This is the 2nd year in a row my wife requests this cake for her birthday. I can’t find anything like it in bakeries. Thank you for all of the wonderful desserts!
My husband just exploded a stick of butter in the microwave three days ago! The danger is real. John, I love, love, love that your cakes are beautiful, they look doable, and are fondant-free. Great job!
YES! Hurray for “fondant free”!!
Not a fan of spiced cakes....I tried this recipe and all my friends and family loved it, I though everything about it was awesome..... except the spiced cake. Tried it again, but used one of your chocolate cake recipes..... 10/10. Awesome, everyone who tried it could say how much they loved it. And I use that marshmallow recipe every chance I get. Love your channel.
“A blessing of allspice...”
Please make measuring spoons based off names like these!!!
Lol and I would TOTALLY buy them!😁
along with a measuring cup called "a big dump" *please* (10:51)
'No Girl, that's not how it's gonna work." LMAO I love you John. You make my day EVERY day you have a new vid.
If you put a teeny drop of purple food coloring, it’ll color correct the yellow and make the buttercream more white!
Really? Thankyou! I have been wanting the whitest possible hoping to get away from shortening. Yay!🤗🍀🍰🤘🏼
Yeah
U have to add the tiniest amount though
I keep wondering why you are not on Food Network.... Just saying....
I agree!!!!
You need to be on Food Network! I'd watch your show!
No one watches TV anymore. He’d probably earn more on UA-cam
My answer would be that nobody on Food Network worth watching anymore besides Alton (who's even been moved to the Cooking Channel himself). They have moved to reality food TV, rather than shows like this.
Amy Buford Then maybe he should be on The Cooking Channel w Alton...

I made this for my son and little niece’s birthday. She declared the marshmallow frosting “was everything.” Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
I guess the 1 person that disliked the video didn't have the patience to view the actual stream. Patiently waiting all the way from Trinidad and Tobago 😉
Thank you for introducing me to cake strips. Cause my cakes can't come out anymore perfect with these strips. I hate trimming my cakes.. By the way, this cake is the bomb.. Absolutely perfect!
I know right! I love my strips too 😊
I bought and use the strips now too! I love them!
I know, I have been watching his videos a lot and am wanting all the little gadgets he features!, But I'm definitely purchasing me some cake strips today since its payday!!!!!!!!
Astonishing Aquarius PREACH 🥰

Made this cake last night for my son’s birthday dinner!! It was a big hit...everyone loved it!

3:19 "No girl, that's not how it's gonna work" Haha you are so funny. Love the videos.
I was immediately looking for this comment LOLOL
LoveVanita why didn’t u say the comment then
S’mores are my absolute favorite. I have found my birthday cake this year...
Just made this cake and it was absolutely amazing! Toasting that marshmallow fluff at the end was sooooooo satisfying. And I think I might make that graham cracker crumble for everything now. Wow that was just down right delicious. Thank you!!

O
You have great recipes. I love how you talk about your husband and kids. It makes the recipe personal.
I just made this wonderful cake for my Birthday Day. It is the first cake I have made for my own birthday, since the passing of my Mother. I needed this technical challenge with the first time of making marshmallow fluff. Thank you! I hope it is as good as it smells.
How was it.
My kids used to have graham crackers broken up in a bowl with milk and fruit for a delicious breakfast. Yum. Can't wait to try this cake :)
This literally -NOT metaphorically -looks like the best cake you've ever made! I can't wait to make it! 😍😍😍
Im on a sugar-free month. And watching this makes me satisfied. Thank you! love from kuala lumpur
i have learn to make the cakes not from a box but whit original ingredients thanks to all your videos my kids have love my cakes and cookies and cupcakes so much thanks,,
I discovered you just yesterday, let me tell you... LIFE CHANGING!!!! This is just great!!!!

Me and my 4 year old love watching your videos and trying to make your recipes. You make it so easy.
I love your kitchen, your tools and your baking gadgets....even your kitchen aid mixer.....they are all so classy. You’ve got good taste.....and your recipes are great....👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved “no girl that’s not how its gonna work”. Will be using it in my daily life😊
I don't remember what I started out looking for but I feel down the Preppy Kitchen rabbit hole. It caught my eye with one of my favorite candies, butter toffee and 4 videos later I'm at the s'mores cake. I'm loving this!!
Just made this for mother's day and it was DELICIOUS! I only wish I had the cake decorating skills to make it look as good as it tasted.
I can picture this for summertime with a bonfire and cookout!
Omg 😳❤❤❤❤ I love s'mores. Anything s'mores is automatically delicious 😋
anyone else in quarantine and having the time of your life binging this mans videos
This man is a gem! I made peanut butter bars from his recipe. They crumbled a little bit when I cut them, but if not for him, I wouldn't have made them.
Made this today for my sons birthday. Made the fluff look like foamy water and had a fish jumping. He loved it! Thanks for posting this recipe! I would post a pic but it looks like we can't put pics here.
Those measuring cups are stunning.
Im sooo glad I found your recipe! 😭😭 I've been looking for a cake recipe that has EVERYTHING you've listed.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm going to make this, this weekend for my father in-laws surprise bday party 😍😍😍
How did it go?
I would likely weigh a billion pounds with you around, tempting us with these incredible cakes. Spectacular job, as usual!
"no gurl, that's not how it's going to work! " LOVE IT !!!
We made this and it was fantastic!
The piping looks beautiful. A work of art! 😊
This cake looks amazing. Between this and the cookie cups I'm going Smores crazy
you can also add the tiniest amount of purple food coloring to neutralize the yellow ;)
I used to love making the box “no bake cheesecake” crust with melted butter and graham cracker crust! I agree about the butter lies!
I'm just gonna say what I've been thinking for weeks. I'll bet his sons friends will be looking forward to going to their house for birthday parties and any event involving cake for years to come! Lol! Preppy Kitchen guy, I truly enjoy your video's! Look forward to the next one!☺😀

I love how your cakes arent absolutely huge, they are just the right size and proportions (as in height to with)!
“It’s shocking that cooking something in butter makes it more delicious but it’s TRUE!”
You’re the best 😂
I love the handles on the measuring cups, very pretty copper too.
The microwave trick is brilliant!
gosh you’re so quirky and sassy at the same time! love your videos!
This looks incredible. My husband suggested I make a smores cake for his Birthday next month. Perfect timing, thank you!
Quick hack - but a cup of water in the microwave when melting butter. Even at full power it doesn’t explode.
20 minutes of watching you make cake in your gorgeous kitchen? 😍 Yes please
i discovered you randomly today when i was looking for recipes of pumpkin spice macarons and a few hours later, i discovered your youtube channel. thank you universe for leading me to you!
Best UA-camr I have watched! And all the cakes you bake are so amazing!!
This is the best s'mores cake on UA-cam. The BEST I tell you!!
Out of all your recipes which is your favorite? This looks like a winner
OMG, I cannot believe someone actually made a s’mores cake! I love you, John! You’re an amazing baker.
Omg when the cake piece fell I audibly awed.
This is the only s'mores cake I've ever seen that is actually s'mores. Good job!
He tends to throw things slightly, which is a good sign of confidence. He is in his element.
Love your tips. Learn something extra every time along with drooling over the cakes!
Thank you for making me love baking again
Graham crackers are delish on their own !!
Very! John is crazy.
my mouth was watering through that whole thing
I love your honesty with the recipes!
What an beautiful and unique looking cake! It’s absolutely stunning! I already have a food processor however, l do know that Breville puts a “Molded Sticker” with the Model and/ or Serial Numbers on everything they make. Sometimes there’s even a “Batch #” that refers to the date it was manufactured.
Great tip on melting chocolate! Thanks!
I'm addicted to your videos! My family misses me being in the kitchen. I'm inspired again!
Love the ‘blue’ mixer!
What an elegant cake and what an elegant man 👑
I really hope some makes this and leaves a review. I get nervous making something and then it’s not what I expected. This looks soooo goood!
Graham Crackers dunked in cold, cold milk are awesome!
Just made your no spread sugar cookie recipe last week on my daughter's 9th birthday and it was fantastic 😊... New fan here..
The cake was amazing!
My gosh your cakes are so perfect.
6 whole Graham crackers gives me exactly 3/4 cup every time . Will definitely try this recipe ! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Your videos are so therapeutic!
Beautiful measuring cups with wooden handle 😍😍😍
Went in the kitchen and got some graham crackers to eat while I watch this! Tell your hubby he did good on the new measuring cups!
I’m having kitchen envy! Most beautiful kitchen I’ve seen and exactly how many kitchen aid mixers do you have John??
There's so much to enjoy in this video. But you surprised a laugh out of me at 10:58 with the finger point and "Don't." And it worked! The powdered sugar didn't fly out of the mixer. Ha!
Gorgeous measuring cups!!!!
Love them 💜💜💜
Oh my gosh it's so yummy. Thanks preppy 4 dis beautiful cake
I love your videos the cakes always have lovely texture I now know why the German chocolate cake is your favourite
All these comments about "no girl, that's not how it's gonna work." And I'm just like, where does he say this??!! I HAD to go back. And yeah, not sure how but I missed it lol. What I DIDN'T miss and thought was weird is that you said "a little bit of a blessing of allspice." Lol. I have NEVER heard anyone ever say that!! I love your videos. I'm gonna be one busy chick for awhile...
I would love to try this recipe! It looks decadent!! I was wondering how I can make this cake into 8” layers? Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations!
Nice cake, you know what's a good idea. Get the bake crumble top it off with the chocolate butter cream and then top it off with the s'mores.....
