You're so generous with this recipe. I've been at this for a long time. Thank you so much Dan. God Bless you now and always

[@bethstophel8344]

Thank you Dan I did sift more sugar but not cocoa. Wish I could show you the cake I made. It was my first attempt at basket weave using fudge frosting. I'm new to decorating but not baking. Thank you again the frosting is delicious 😊

[@lindsey3823]

Hi Dan, is there any other reason why corn syrup or simple syrup is used other than for shine and added sweetness? Curious if I can substitute oil for some of the corn syrup and maintain the same texture...? Thank you- looks divine!!

Hi Dan, I know I'm late to the party here, but thank you for your chocolate fudge frosting recipe. I'm glad you published the recipe with a link, I often need to review again and again. although this is up a year, may I still make a comment on the video? it would help me a lot of you could show the different stages of the preparation as you are talking about it. "This is pretty loose now..." is great, but I don't know if my lose looks like it should or if I accidentally confused TBSP with tsp. Still, I'm looking forward to trying this. Thanks again, Vicki

Cookie Gift Can Queen sells Sweetex Hi-Ratio shorting on Etsy for home bakers in small quantities. I love this recipe! Thanks Dan!!!

[@SweetVelvetBuds]

I just love how this guy bakes!!

[@sharonm3185]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing! It bothers me when people use ganache/fudge (and sometimes even chocolate) interchangeably, yes I'm strange 😉 But I've been looking for a fudge type frosting recipe to try and this looks awesome 👏🏻 Thanks for sharing!

[@bakedbydan]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@tiffcoverdill6070]

I love your videos! I'm a second generation baker and I feel like I am learning a lot from you. Thank you! I was also wondering, where did you get your sprinkle magnets on the fridge? I need some to free up cabinet space. :)

[@bakedbydan]

Hey Tiff! Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad that you are enjoying my videos ;) The magnets are from IKEA. Happy Baking! Dan

[@kimmiesue318]

While watching this, i saw you shake your vanilla before using, I have never seen that done before... what is the difference between shaking it up and not shaking it??

[@sillyxpicklexxx3]

I love your videos and you're great on camera! Keep it up!

[@eiflo6985]

I like your kitchen. Subscribed.

Is this icing good for stacking?

[@bakedbydan]

I wouldn't use it as a filling for stacked cakes because the oil and corn syrup keep this icing from really setting up firm when it is chilled.

[@snmccurdy]

Hey Dan! I find I'm always running out of icing when I'm trying to ice and fill my cakes (story of my life) - any helpful advice on how to gage how much icing to make per project/cake?

[@bakedbydan]

+Shannon Black Hi Shannon! That is a great question! I struggled with running out of icing when I began making cakes. It really depends on how generously YOU fill and frost your cakes. I began keeping a record of the amount of icing that I used to fill and frost 6", 8" and 10" cake tiers. For myself I found that 3lbs (One batch) of icing is enough to fill, frost and decorate an 8" cake. A bit less for a 6" and 50% more for for a 10". I'd recommend keeping track of how much icing you use on one project so you can plan for the next. Plus it never hurts to have a bit left over ;)

[@snmccurdy]

Thanks for the tips/advice!!! I will definitely have to try to remember/pay attention to how much icing I'm using (and really keep track). I guess it won't hurt to experiment ;) I really appreciate the feedback and look forward to more videos from you :)

[@nabawimokhtar7799]

Hi Dan, just to check with you, ive went to your website but didnt quite understand what does the letter (T) measurement stands for?

[@bakedbydan]

Hello Nabawi! T would be an abbreviation for Tablespoons. I'll have to change that up- thank you for pointing it out. Happy Baking~ Dan

[@joanshute3384]

Love the icing but how do you get the measurements .

[@shreeyamalhotra9431]

hey ! i dont have vegetable shortening where i live. is there something i cud use instead ?

[@bakedbydan]

Hi There Shreeya! You could replace the shortening with more butter and it will be great. Happy Baking! -Dan

[@mawson0112]

Just curious as to why you would use water instead of milk? Not judging, just curious! I'm new to both baking and decorating.

[@bethstophel8344]

Dan my icing didn't turn out as thick as yours. Followed the directions using this video and the written. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@bakedbydan]

Hi Beth! Maybe the icing didn't need all of the remaining 3 T of water. I know that this time of year (its 90*F in my kitchen at the moment,) icings need less liquid. If you want to stiffen up the icing you've already made I would sift together 3 T of 10X sugar and 1T of cocoa and beat that into the icing. Good luck and Happy baking!!!

[@sonyamcabee8671]

I love your Videos!..

[@bakedbydan]

+Sonya McAbee Thanks Sonya! Happy Baking!

[@debsmith8102]

Please add your pie videos to this KZbin channel ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@thebloomingbakery]

the only cocoa I can find is Hershey's or ghirardelli

[@bakedbydan]

Hi Melanie! I would pick Ghirardelli in a pinch. Amazon also has a wide variety of artisan cocoas available www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Flour-Bensdorp-Dutch-Process/dp/B00SPYFVWA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1470062028&sr=8-1&keywords=bensdorp Here is a link to a popular brand called Bensdorp. Happy Baking!

[@lisbethstephens2330]

That’s it? You start with a “simple” syrup with four ingredients and you’re not showing us how to cook that part? Already we can’t follow you.

[@littlelordfuckleroy3822]

you could.. you know... actually read the recipe where it tells you how to make the syrup...

[@KennyLauderdale]

Seemed too long and complicated.
