BLACK FOREST Mega Cake!! | How To Cake It

Black forest cake is the first cake that I ever ate as a child, so it's definitely close to my heart! This cake forest started off as 7.5lbs of my Ultimate Chocolate cake, soaked in cherry Simple Syrup and stacked together with ganache, chocolate, and plain buttercream, layered with cherry jam and fresh cherries. Covered in chocolate bark this cake stands tall with pretzel trees and a cocoa nib trail! Find the full recipe here: bit.ly/YosBlackForestRecipe

I love the way books smell especially the newer ones

[@_..._3453]

Me as well. Though I enjoy the older ones much more, their smell is relaxing really.

[@bluueturtles8471]

[@jadenfrizzell1626]

Anyone else practically get high on the smell of books? like “Bro you hammered” “ nah I’m grammared”

[@TorunMillberg]

I LOVE the smell of books!! It's so relaxing, and sitting in libraries is one of the best things I can do when I'm stressed.

[@popze]

Books smell amazing. I love opening new and old books and just take in the scent. There is just something about the smell of books 💖

[@ThisWithThem]

[@bjornjohansson7907]

Remove the spaces. Please

[@SmileyFry2424]

For everything good in life plz do not use spaces when do a hashtag

[@dadfortwo6167]

Only because I have smell like my brother because they had me down because he’s older than me no I don’t like the smell how do you

[@electriceagle1116]

Fresh books and really old books have one of the best smells you can come across. its beautiful!

[@Stanzishouse]

Book smell is wonderful - I love books so that's probably why I like the smell of them! 📚💚✨🎂

[@kimbyb3764]

Stanzi's house I know this is weird, but I always smell a book before I get it. I smell them to check if it will be good or not. If it smelled good I know I'll enjoy it, but if I don't like the smell I won't even go past the cover. I know that is weird but it has always worked for me, I've never had a good book that didn't smell good. So I'm literally Yolanda when she was pretending she was in the book store!

[@denisegibson8341]

Ditto

[@Ashoka02tano]

Every time I go into a book store or a library, I feel at peace and like I'm home.

[@kimwagner6460]

I was unaware that there was a breed of people that did not like book smell...

[@suzawilo]

Kim Wagner I was aware... But always felt bad for them 😁

[@_music.mon3]

Chloe Noel yeah I agree she wants everything to be even lol

[@moniquebott6006]

The smell of books is one of my favourite things about books!!!!

[@hainasanchez8867]

Yolanda is the cleanest baker I've ever seen in youtube. And I like it.

[@JandJthecandycab]

Haina Sanchez Tidiest might be a better word...

[@hainasanchez8867]

J&J The Candy Cab Joseph Reneau Yeah, probably. Haha 😊

[@matcha721]

Oh like lik a dirty baker. Not like their baking edible food at all. *sarcasm* lol 😂😂

[@jaykay5922]

Honestly I love the smell of new and old books, it's just a very calming scent.

[@coleen9987]

I love how books smell omg. Especially a new book! One of the reasons why I prefer books over ebooks. Unfortunately I have to settle for ebooks because I live in a tiny apartment with no space for books.

[@mcvenne8935]

I love the way books smell! It's such a soft and unique fragrance!

[@emmahelene8329]

Hi Yolanda! As you know, the Black Forest cake originated in Germany and I work at a traditional bakery in Northern Germany (not very close to the Black Forest, but i‘d still call our cake pretty authentic). We actually have a very similar technique with piping rings of whipped cream, a cooked cherry filling and chocolate whipped cream (which is not the same as ganache, it‘s melted chocolate that’s folded into chilled whipped cream)! We use chocolate sponge cakes and soak them with kirsch (it‘s Kirschwasser in Germany, Kirsche = Cherry) and then we cover the cake with whipped cream and top it with chocolate shavings and fresh or canned cherries depending on the time of the year. So yeah I loved to see your take on this delicious classic. Greetings from Germany 😊

[@berit541]

Emma Helene as someone from the Black forest I only miss the Kirschwasser( Cherry Shots )however this is a pretty good child appropriate version

[@dylandennis3616]

You should try to do a earth cake ya know ? With the different colored layers inside and there’s a secret chamber at the very middle !!!

[@KarimChang]

Dylan Dennis yeeees

[@austinnrood951]

She should make it a Flat Earth cake lol

[@lmfao7224]

Imagine buttercream oozing out of the core or something

[@gratefuldead4714]

Temi Christine the core isn’t, but the outer core is. That’s a really good idea though

[@PuddiPanda]

ooo, tree-mendous! :o

[@lynthesloth7228]

THE PUNS YES I love it❤️❤️❤️

[@laurenschechter9961]

book smell, but also, i really like the smell of old books... like... tome style books you'd find in a private or old school library. I got to go to a chained library once. it smelled amazing.

[@melio_ghost]

Books do smell amazing tbh

[@hadasgoldfarb5571]

I love the smell of new books! I agree with orhan. Book stores are the best. All that book smell in one place!! It’s my happy place

[@ej5295]

i think it’s my favorite cake of yours! I love black forest so much and this is the best black forest cake i’ve seen ever.

[@jaylonthomas261]

It’s so realistic!!! 💯 Is there anything that she can’t do. 😁😄 because all of her cakes are phenomenal and so amazing 😉. She would definitely win any take off contest.
