This is a cake channel! Let’s not give a shit about who we vote for here :)
Alexandra and Ron you guys don’t have to be such dicks. Just bc someone thinks differently than you doesn’t mean they don’t have feeling too. Just leave Kailem alone. God damn 🙄
Butter wrappers as parchment liners is A. Game. Changer.
Really??
Measuring is stupid when it comes to sprinkles.----preach!
With that and chocolate chips.
Kelly Jo Evans sprinkles and chocolate chips, my motto is you put till your heart smiles
I don't measure sprinkles or chocolate chips 😂!
Cake nachos.
Never heard of it before, it’d probably work a little easier with the crispy crust of a brownie.
Genius!
Ragdoll 130 HTCI did them before
"Measuring is stupid when it comes to sprinkles." Words to live by 💟💟💟
I love this series making caking easier for everyone
And affordable... butter is $5 a pound (or higher) where I live...
But always with flair!
My cousin legit has a baking book that says, "If you like the box mix, just use that. Someone has already done the hard part for you."
It would be fine if they didn't add ALUMINUM to BOX MIXES!!!
I'm loving the new simple instructional videos. It's so cool to watch a box mix actually be made into something really nice looking. Keep it up guys!
Oh gosh I love the videos!!! My aunt always taught me to add a pudding mix, use milk instead of water and add 3 extra eggs so total of 5 to the box mix to make it way more moist and I tell you what that’s my favorite way to make box cake mix!
Hi Megan, please let me know that is it going to be more dense? I'm thinking to skip pudding mix (as I dont want that) only but will add butter n milk. Will that work?
Mona Shaq it makes the cake more moist and I’d say a richer flavor. I wouldn’t say like dense but does add some more weight to it without making it a brick. I think buttermilk would work ok with it I don’t see why not.
I add heavy whipping cream to my batter, brown butter instead of oil and I add a pudding mix. Sooooo moist and delicious 🤤
Same, only I also add sour cream. It comes out moist and dense.
I'm my experience when I add extra eggs, it's all I taste in the end... Adding 3 extra? Hard pass.
My favorite thing about your videos is the banter between you and your friends/camera men. It reminds me of my boys in the kitchen. Thanks for not doing those "professional" type videos. I love being entertained while learning.
You guys always make me smile, giggle a bit & wish more coworkers were as fun, lighthearted, LOL worthy & enjoyable as you three are! Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face and also thanks for making a box cake with a little bit extra seem like a $500+ cake!!
My mind was blown when you put the butter wrappers on the bottom of the cake pans. Definitely gonna start saving them and doing that too, lol.
Ive enjoyed cooking, baking and decorating almost my whole life and I just started culinary school. I watch your show probably every day and im amazed with how awesome and beautiful your works are! You have inspired me to use more of my imagination when it comes to designing and decorating and I hope to be as good as you some day. Thank you for this amazing channel!! 😁❤
548 sprinkles to begin with, 1,056 when JJR added more.. Also, that butter wrapper hack is genius!! Gonna use that for Thanksgiving this year!
I’m just glad they posting😂
Oh, we can MAKE cake nachos a thing, trust me.
Itshould very much be a thing! Can your fry cake batter like a chip?
Rochelle i think you mean eggsperiments
i’ll leave
We could do the cake batter cookies and frosting
Love that 😂
Absofuckinlutely!🤘🏻
I'm so extremly happy you're back! I literary cried when you uploaded your vid last week cause I was so happy...
Please don't go for such a long time ever again? 🙈💙🍰
Omg she’s so beautiful!! This looks like a mermaid theme cake!!! I think I’ll make one for my birthday coming up!
I’m so glad I found you guys. Your humor together is refreshing!
Thank you SO much for making this video! I love making cakes, but I don’t get to practice often because all the ingredients are very expensive. I always wondered if I could use store bought stuff just so I can practice and not spend a fortune. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
wow! using the melted colored butter cream as dippy driping is GENIUS!!! ppl usually use chocolate/candy melts and i cant never find those here, so big thankyou!!!
You ruined all the cute frosting swirls with rock candu and cherries 😫
I agree. I thought it looked best without the rock candy and cherries. Still love a bite of it though. 😋
I KNOWW
Yeah, there had to be a better way to incorporate the pink. The rock candy just didn’t fit.
😭😭😭😭
Yes 🥴🙈
You ALWAYS come back in my exam season and tHAT MAKES THIS STUPID STUPID TIME OF THE SEMESTER A BIT MORE BEARABLE. LOVE YOU GUYS.
Only your second video into the new season and you're already amped up your funniness to the billionth. I love you guys so much you just make my day you take all of my troubles away. I'm saving this video so I can refer back cuz this is a great way when you're in a tight squeeze to make a cake quick and make it taste like JJR s. thank you all for such another great terrific tutorial your videos inspire me so much. Keep on caking.
This is one of the channels I'm fighting for to keep the same energy!!
Sign the petition!!!
Icymi, they're on You've Been Desserted now. 💖
In love everyone's banter. Y'all are so clever!
I've almost convinced my 5yr old that there is a difference between pink and PaNk! LOL
😂😂😂😂
Lol omg hahaha
Oh my, I'm sitting here watching you stirring the food coloring into your cake mix, thinking that frosting isn't going to firm up at all. Then remembered that it's cake mix. Smh. I'm just that tired. Lol. Fabulous cake recipe though. I didn't even think about adding cream cheese to the cake mix. I use cake mix alot lol. I'm. A cheater....😉
When I use box cake mix, I add milk in place of the water, melted butter in place of the oil and an extra egg when doing most box mixes. If using a white cake I do the cream cheese or mascarpone cheese in it. Makes a helluva difference. And I wouldn’t call it “cheating”, I’d call it being economical with time :)
Does adding cream cheese change the cooking time. And what are baking strips.
Yeah. Per box mix: 1 sm. box instant pudding. 2 sticks melted butter. 4 eggs. Milk not water. Never heard of this cream cheese trick. But I'll try it next time.
@@lolodee3528 I've used this recipe before. It makes the best cupcakes. It's no lie when they say it's as good as a bakery cake. Lol.
the Jamie Lee Curtis Activia joke was hilarious! I was laughing so hard!
As i saw this video i went to the store got all ingrediants and made it and its delicious my boyfriend loves it😋❤... thank you for the easy recipe... im only 19😁
JJR it was so nice to meet you this weened, my daughter was so happy she got a picture with you, she couldn't believe it, hopefully she gets inspired to make cakes with me again. Now can you please do more sculpted and novelty cakes, I absolutely loves those
I have watched 57964357 cake videos and this is the first I’ve watched a video from you.
Where have you been?!? Not only are you simplifying the craft but you guys are HILARIOUS!!!
& the butter wrappers?!? Come on!! 😍
Definitely clicked the subscribe & notifications!
the first thing that caught me to this channel was the fun relationship between all these guys! I just love them, love how funny they are, the fun they have together...oh my! and the cakes!!!
このアイデアはとても完璧です
🤯 the butter wrapper hack wow shook..I recently started using coffee filters as pan liners I’ll never cut out parchment rounds again. 👍🏼
I like the cherries and rock candy....the element of red make the total effect even if it is over the top (which is the point of a happy desert)…...I watch at least four of you videos every day; it leaves me very happy. I made this cake today (I have not ever tried anything like this....a first with a pastry tube too, I used an offset desert server and bread knife to smooth the frosting....It is not pretty at all...but you make it seem simple (it was not you really are a master) I will eat it tomorrow for my 60th birthday.....keep baking please....
HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY!!!!🎂
My 4 year old great-niece Cambree said that it look like unicorn poo when you were decorating the top of the cake. I just want to make sure that no unicorns were harmed in making this video. We love watching your videos please make more.
🤣🤣. 👍 This comment section is on point!
They may be trendy unicorn colors but I do love these muted colors. They're not quite pastel and not quite jewel tones. Also loving these tips on how to spruce up these ready-made ingredients!
The crew behind the camera are the BEST, the fact that you talk to them during the video is so cool. Love your vids😂❤️
This is what "Boys will be boys" should really mean
Anyone else think it looked just fine before he added the rock candy and cherries? Then it was like decoration vomit.
The candy and cherries made it look SO SICKLY
Yeah they were a little much
I like hr
Yes,yes,yes ! I agree totally. I thought it was beautiful until he added the rock candy and dipped cherries. The best artists know when to stop. I think it spoiled a beautiful cake.
Yup it looked awesome without that candy and cherry
The cake itself is fantastic, but the rock candy and cherries
I love how the crew makes comments while you bake, always makes my day. 💚💚 Nacho Cake 👀🤤😂
Lol this is like watching my brothers in the kitchen always a laugh to be had, thanks for all of the laughs!!! 💜💜💜
I'm so happy you're back!!! Halloween just wasn't the same without you, but I got through it! Everyone missed you so much, you've spoiled us so much, please, please, PLEASE don't leave us again! Love you guys!
"I'm not going to measure it because measuring is stupid when it comes to sprinkles." FACTSSS
Love the butter wrapper hack
Making box cake more appealing by:
- taste
- colors
- "fake" mirror glaze (this one has me SOLD)
straight up handing out lifehacks for free and I'm LOVIN' IT, you are a man of cake culture
I was just about to order a cake, but now I'm inspired to try this! 😬 Love it!
Omg! Why am I just finding this channel!!! This is the best and quite entertaining baking I've seen!! You guys are awesome! Your cake decorations are fantastic except for the rock candy..lol! Totally subscribed! Also, all about the cake nachos!! P.s. that back drop is everything!!
You guys are my new favorite channel!
Thanks for making cake decorating 100 times more fun!
Love the cake you did with pink purple blue sprinkles awesome have to try it great decorating
Just loved watching this because of the banter between everyone! Really fun and awesome cake xx
My favourite part of mac is when they read out the comments. Especially the detailed descriptions for emojis. 😯😇😆😯😇😆😯😆😇😐😕😬😕😐😬😈😐😬😱😱😱😱😱😋
The personality in this video is so everything!!!!
Love this channel! You make me believe I can actually bake awesome cake...all while making me laugh at the same time!
What an awesome hack for boxed cake mix and frosting! Definitely going to make this!
So glad to see it’s not just my mixer that the pin works out when the mixer is running on medium or better.
Love the butter wrapper idea!
I was told many years ago to add an extra cup of flour and an extra cup of sugar to a cake mix. That makes it more firm, but still is moist. To bad more people like the box and store bought cake these days, and they don't seem to like the "homemade" taste anymore.
i really appreciate this! these hacks are great for someone who wants to get better at baking but isnt quite ready to bake a cake/make frosting completely from scratch. cant wait to use these! :)
It turned out so pretty, but I'm not a fan of the cherries and rock candy, but to each his own. I'm def going to try making the cake.
That is the most beautiful box cake i have ever seen.
I replicate soooo many of your cakes for my customers and always a hit. Your tips are great 🙂🙂🙂😀😀😘 never stop 🆘
Always fun when I see a man about cake reminder.. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Love the cake, enjoyed the banter between you. 💛🇬🇧💛
We need a behind the cameras episode :D or a making of :D :D
Cream cheese and butter makes it all so much better. Thanks!
Lucky, you, that the smell of frosting reminds you of your grandmother! Mine smelled like Ben Gay and never baked in her life, but I loved her dearly.
Edited to say that I LOVE your channel! ❤️
So glad you're back!! I'm glad you showed us some of the hacks to help save us some time. I definitely have to try the cream cheese! I'm curious...do you add the amounts of ingredients the box mix calls for plus the cream cheese or do you reduce the oil??
LOL! I love this! I have never had so much fun watching someone make amazing cakes until now!😍😂
I love watching your videos! It makes my day 10 times better!
You are pleasure to watch and you share my enthusiasm for cakes too❤️❤️❤️
I paused the video at 7:39 and when I went to play it again I realized that Joshua's tattoo says "Be Happy" in ASL. I though that was really awesome!
Early I LOGE your videos, I recently got into baking and decided to buy all the equipment needed to make a birthday cake for my 14th birthday coming up soon!!! Thank you for such amazing videos that inspire me!
this is my first man about cake video !***
i lost it at "Slice of Barney" 😂😂😂😂
Hey JJR, how much vanilla do you use per can of frosting? I want to try this using only one can.
i was wondering that too, maybe just a tsp per can? Also was it salted or unsalted butter?
Just wanted to say I love the banter with you guys and it actually made me laugh. I am going to try your tips and see how the family likes it. Thank you!💙
you guys are hilarious! And i love watching you cake creations, and getting good tips and ideas! You literally brought joy back into my life.
I am in love with the voice behind the camera! Too funny!!
This is my new fav u tube. JJR u rock!
I love watching y’all, y’all crack me up every time
One day I will try to bake a cake, but not today... That will absolutely be the caramelcake...! 👍😊🍰
Really enjoyed watching but didn't care for the rock candy and cherries. Thought it was perfect just before that. Can't wait to try the frosting hack.
So happy to see you back. Great baking hacks.
the camera crew interactions are so much fun!!
Omg thank you for posting this. I usually like to bake from scratch but sometimes it's a bit much trying to get all the ingredients. I love making cupcakes, so I'll try this recipe the next time I make cupcakes for a party ☺
This video made my pretty crappy day so much better! I just love the dynamic between JJR and the guys. You're always making me laugh.
I love that y’all crack jokes while baking I haven’t seen a channel like that I love It!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙
"I only eat the batter. I'm on a raw diet."

Tnx alot JJR from uganda love you and your crew 😍😍😍😘
JJR IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER
Lol I can’t deal with all the background voices .... This is the best cake show I swear!
Wow 🤩, look at all those sprinkles or Jimmies if you are from New Jersey!!
Only South Jersey. Up north we still call them sprinkles.
You color cake/icing perfectly & then add r e d stuff?! Never saw anything so perfectly done to be trashed in the finale.
you guys are awesome!! LOL I love the bloopers
1.3 million sprinkles, you are a hoot, I'm in, as in subscribing!!!! Woot woot!!
I'm all for a short cut if it doesn't ruin flavor. I have to try this cake mix updo smart,smart. I have always H A T E D the taste of canned icing, but, because of u I'll try it. Love watching you and hearing your sidekick..
this video is so satisfying I love it
