[@rinu_14]

To be honest other than the fact that you make cakes the best part of the show is when you talk with your friends and your crew so sweet love you jjr

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.

[@aweperson1214]

Really??

[@kellyjoevans223]

Measuring is stupid when it comes to sprinkles.----preach!

[@ODY0319]

With that and chocolate chips.

[@UphoricSkitlez]

Kelly Jo Evans sprinkles and chocolate chips, my motto is you put till your heart smiles

[@jenk2886]

I don't measure sprinkles or chocolate chips 😂!

[@aprilkruger533]

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.

[@marnycummings6398]

I love this series making caking easier for everyone

[@mrspaulsen1717]

And affordable... butter is $5 a pound (or higher) where I live...

[@hopegold883]

But always with flair!

[@adde9506]

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."

[@karendixon401]

It would be fine if they didn't add ALUMINUM to BOX MIXES!!!

[@tessasuhr7379]

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!

[@amysimonbiz]

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!!

[@Megan-yw9gc]

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!

[@zahrashakeeb]

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?

[@Megan-yw9gc]

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.

[@jcole3523]

I add heavy whipping cream to my batter, brown butter instead of oil and I add a pudding mix. Sooooo moist and delicious 🤤

[@Devin3Anthologie]

Same, only I also add sour cream. It comes out moist and dense.

[@kiwisoup]

I'm my experience when I add extra eggs, it's all I taste in the end... Adding 3 extra? Hard pass.

[@debl6772]

"Measuring is stupid when it comes to sprinkles." Words to live by 💟💟💟

[@dgbclub7]

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....

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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@karl_calv]

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.

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!

That is the most beautiful box cake i have ever seen.

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!

[@argyleboi3797]

Always fun when I see a man about cake reminder.. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

[@tashvelez7286]

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.

[@rainbeau9752]

[@Matthewm8438]

Hey JJR, how much vanilla do you use per can of frosting? I want to try this using only one can.

[@KristineT8]

i was wondering that too, maybe just a tsp per can? Also was it salted or unsalted butter?

[@nessaforreal8284]

[@222NancyG]

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??

Hello. Did you use salted or unsalted butter for the frosting?

Unsalted is always better, there's less water content in it.

[@farhanaiqbal8803]

[@susyshepard320]

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.

[@asmab3456]

Yup it looked awesome without that candy and cherry

[@berthaversetto8654]

Hello JJR, if your not doing the two cake boxes and your using one can you use one can of the frosting? And would the ratio be one can of frosting with 1 stick of butter?

[@zahrashakeeb]

Hello, I have a question: why didn't you use egg yolks? Just to keep it white or anyother reason?

[@lolodee3528]

Whiteness.
