[@petronel7299]

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!! because of your videos, I am now busy starting a cake business here in South Africa. I am an Accountant, not a chef, but I learn so much and people love it! THANKS so much for these videos!!

[@begonafernandez2305]

That is great! How is the cake business going? I wanted to do it!!

[@isurid.keshani6272]

I also do that because of the vedios found at youtube

[@dorafuentes8510]

Wow

[@MCGamerD]

Yay! You go.

[@Jforadrianne]

Jemma I feel like I've almost mastered buttercream and I've made great cupcakes too! because of watching your frosting techniques and using the grams for the good butter and sugar and milk it's just been amazing and I've been baking for years and I love it but thank you so much!

[@rkulakofski]

You had me at " don't ask me for cups" Finally someone on KZbin that understands.

[@kimberleytaylor1025]

Just want to say a massive Thankyou Gemma .. I have managed to make a 4 layer sponge cake and iced it with your famous buttercream and finished it off with a choc ganache drip .. it looks amazing and my whole family are shocked to the core .., I couldn’t of done any of it without watching your amazing videos ! Thankyou so much my daughter is going to love her b day cake ... oh and I’ve never made a cake before in my life 😊 x

[@SaphiraTessa]

I'm mesmerized by the people in the back, especially when they use the fridge

[@CupcakeJemma]

They love it in the fridge!

It is sinfascinating

[@cashaiesha]

me too

[@claire-sr4qv]

Yeah that’s probably my favourite part

[@leonigeray9193]

hey Jemma, could you do a video about the different kinds of sugar, what to use them for and what they do in a cake or cookie. I'm sometimes a bit confused about the different kinds like dark brown, light brown, demerara, white sugar, etc. greetings and lots of love :) 💕

[@CupcakeJemma]

Maybe that’s a good idea for a Tuesday Tip. I will consult the gang 😌

[@leonigeray9193]

@@CupcakeJemma you're the best!! thank you so much :D

[@anacrespo3619]

Could you do a tutorial for mirror glaze please?? 😀

[@amitoliagoradia8564]

Hi Jemma, from India. Today I followed your above tutorial to the T, and hey, got an excellent chocolate drip icing onto my devilish chocolate cake!!!!For a first timer it wasn't bad at all. EVERYONE loved it!!! thank you so very much. I am an ardent fan.

[@auntiedough2488]

Thanks for showing the super white powder and the cocoa butter. You’ve mentioned them in other vids and I wondered what they looked like.

[@adammcfarland7952]

Thank you for going so in depth for the white chocolate. I am making my mom a cake for Mother’s Day with white drips

[@anazajec41]

Hi, Jemma. Can you please please please do a video about how much icing do we need if we're making different sizes of cakes or if we're combining stuff from different recipes. I do this quite often and I never know how much I need 😑. Love your channel and the recipes ❤ xo

[@raimukhopadhyay9539]

Really good request! Usually a regular buttercream batch makes way more for 12 standard cupcakes or even a 2 inch cake. And you cant really save it for quite long or just eat with a spoon like pudding!! Often I find baffled how much to use for a 4 layer cake or a bigger 10 inch cake.

[@vatsalnarang5814]

that's a really good idea

[@marree]

this would be great

[@ThuMinh-jg9ie]

What I need too Thanks

[@Sweetthang9]

Jemma isn't here for people who need volumetric measurements and I LOVE IT.

[@mubarakkaz617]

PatisserieBoy HI5 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Bakewithcare]

She said “it’s an equal 50-50 recipe” so I guess it has the same amount. Like 50g chocolate and 50grams cream ☺️

[@nige13]

You her spokesperson? lol

[@benchaddict1704]

Kara im afraid the point of the original comment completely passed you by....... 😄

[@benchaddict1704]

Patisserie Boy. I will never understand why the cups measurements are so popular in some countries. It's so much more accurate to work in weight rather than volume. Love your comment!

[@ayeshamasood5860]

Hi jemma can you please show us how to make black forest cake. PLEEEEEASE!

[@yanafahmiHM]

Hi Jemma ... I learn alot from u .. now I manage to bake my family's birthday and special occasion. All bcoz of u so amazing and talented person. Thank you so much.

puts it in the piping bag still.

[@emyalsharkawi1873]

I seriously love you Jemma, I'm a baker too and besides being inspired by your videos I feel so at home & so good just watching you spread joy in the form of yumminess. Thank you

[@BananaBabe2oo8]

I've never done a drip cake before and I've opted to do one at the weekend so if this works, I'll love you forever!

[@cathy1239]

Thank you so much for this! I made a 2 tier Ferrero rocher cake yesterday and attempted a drip but it went terribly, my chocolate drips melted the buttercream, and were way to thick so they didn’t drip they were also pretty lumpy and now I see that I overheated it, I’m trying this today on the cake and hopefully it goes a lot better. Thanks for these tips!

[@shezzys]

Always remember to check the temperature of your chocolate drip before applying it to the cake. I will be uplaoding a video next week regarding this xx

[@sumiiluv]

just used this ganache recipe. was a good starting point but had to add loads more cream to make it runny. Tip for anyone with leftover ganache put it in a mug and add milk microwave until hot add a bit of sugar if u like and you have some yummy homemade hot chocolate. so good. Try it sometime

[@maxbtw41]

Hi Jemma I’m 10 and I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years now and baked most off them I’ve always loved baking and I’ve alway made cakes for fundraisers my Aunty owns a cake shop in Hertford shire and I asked her what the next level? And she said drip cakes so happy that you have a recipe ! Thsnks

[@carikshawn4201]

THANK YOU...getting back into business after many years and never did this before... it's gorgeous and I'm excited to be baking again and have this to use too Today is March 26, 2022

[@bmpboland]

O my Lord everything that could go wrong did go wrong..my ganache was too thick, the top shot off my squeeze bottle mid drip spilling ganache all down the sides..hot humid day in sunny Aus so buttercream softened really quickly.. crappy turntable got stuck, crooked and wobbly (note to self don't scrimp on key baking equipment) but I have learnt lot of repair tricks from you guys so persevered and got a "good enough" first effort to give to my newly wed neighbours as a wedding celebration cake..looked very home baked, but I learnt a lot..thanks Jemma

[@jademacgrath]

Yesterday I decided I wanted white chocolate ganache instead of whipped cream to garnish my birthday cake, today I stumble onto your extremely helpful video. So happy right now.

[@merlinbutterbum8481]

Great tutorial as always... just wondering, does it matter what the cake is covered in to begin with? Is it iced with buttercream or ganache before drip? Thanks x

[@shezzys]

It does not matter what the cake is covered with. Drips work with everything!xx

[@sarahbee27]

Thanks for this, it’s really useful. It’s the coloured drips I struggle with xx

[@bethstones9957]

Used this for the dark chocolate ganache, worked great and the drip I have made looks amazing

[@ritulipi]

Thanks a lot for your tips. I tried the drip icing for the first time and it came out perfect !!! Thanks

[@mikeyd946]

I did a white chocolate drip last week with RED gel paste and it completely seized up and I had to throw it out...I never thought of using cocoa butter though!!! Thank you for the tips!!! Great channel!!

[@amelialeaman1557]

Hi jemma, love your vids just wondering if there is a sustitute to coco butter or if you know where i can sorce some from in the uk?

[@beryllai]

Hey what type of chocolate do u prefer for dripping cake? Couverture or compound or just random chocolate? Thank u❤️

[@margaritaloschacos5839]

Hello, I love your videos and your way of teaching, I have improved a lot in the creation of my cakes. I have a question in your chocolate drip video do you use cocoabutter can you use edible coconut oil?

[@sydcs5105]

I was thinking the same thing! Did you end up trying coconut oil? If so, how did it go?

[@diananeenooth2237]

Thanks for great advise regarding how to handle the chocolates 😊🙏🏻…gorgeous results as usual Jemma 🥰

[@EfromR]

Not really most people read their chocolate a bedtime story before using it in ganache. That's how it got it's name, "ganache" is french for "good night"

[@shelleyhosein4224]

You are a genius with cakes! What is super white? Not sure if we have that in the Caribbean... I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you Shelley.

[@noblejustine9111]

Hi Jemma, is there any substitute for cocoa butter?

[@somasribanerjee572]

Hey Jemma, I'm your big fan, can you please say that for the white chocolate drip can we use cream like you did in the dark chocolate part?? Please help..... As cocoa butter is a little expensive and is scarce in my area where I live...

[@ODRModurol]

Jemma, my son Owen was pulling his hair out trying to do a drip cake. Your explanation was awesome, thank you very much, regards Damian

[@khadizabegum2340]

would u recommend doing the drips with a piping bag or putting the chocolate onto the top of the cake and moving the turn table , letting the drips fall on its own? which is easier for begnniners ?

First time I've done a drip thank you it turned out ok not fantastic by all means but I'm happy with it I had to do a mix though of chocolate I only had milk 35% and dark 70% so did half and half worked ok Thank you

[@sincereherrera4923]

Hi Jemma can i use butter instead of cocobutter. Thanks!

[@beryllai]

Hey Gemma. Can you please tell us which kind of chocolate do you use for dripping cake? Couverture chocolate or compound chocolate or just random chocolate for baking? Thank you!! Wait for your helpful response!!💓

[@benchaddict1704]

It has to be couverture!

If you can't get hold of cocoa butter for white choc ganache what ratio of choc to cream should we use for dripping?

Glad to be of assistance 😁

[@beingkindiscool8097]

Love this, did it for a work cake challenge last year. The cake looked amazing! I'm doing another this year but I was wondering, can I add glitter to the ganache? 🤔

[@hsizzle100]

Hi Gemma can you please tell me for the white chocolate if you don’t have cocoa butter what alternative can you use ?

[@bebejanekiew9823]

Hi Jemma, 👋 How come you didn't add the double cream for your white Ganache ? If I don't find double cream in my country and what other cream can I substitute double cream ? Can I just heat up the milk and pour into the chocolate to make ganache ?? Thank you .

[@carolmeakins3578]

Great video. Is the same quantities for milk chocolate and can I keep the cake in the fridge over night without spoiling the drip? Thank you x

[@abigailnkrumah1025]

Hi Jemma,please without chocolate can you use frosting butter cream for dripping?

[@yoyotarek1973]

what an amazing drip i already tried the chocolate and really it was amazing and yummy. i want to try the white chocolate drip but I don't have Cocoa butter, can I use regular butter instead???

[@meashmoney]

cupcake jemma is tiiiiaaad of your measley questions okay?? No more asking for cups instead of Grams haha lolol love shee!

[@mariamz1163]

I am just making a cake at the moment and it will be my first time trying a drip!

[@ItsWayMoreThanMusic]

Does this also work on cakes frosted with stabilized whipped cream? If I chill the frosted cake prior, will that affect the consistency of the whipped cream when it thaws to room temp? Thx

[@eilishquinzel]

Can I use regular butter for the white chocolate drip?

[@janetsawyers8703]

Brilliant a simple recipe 50/50 easy to remember and perfectly explained ....... thanks 😊👍

I am so glad you made a video about this because my daughters birthday is coming up soon so I need to make a cake at home because my daughter's dad is in Pakistan but other why's my daughters dad would take the whole family to think and decide the theme for who evers birthday. Thankyou for this recipe😉👍☺

[@honestlygio7830]

Question---not done with video but short term memory....lol. is this cocoa butter like the 100 percent pure cocoa butter stick that I use on my body. 2. Your drips look perfect 3. I'm loving the thorough instructions and tips I've never done this. thx

[@bradce979]

When you want to go and take a 'Fika' (as we call it here in Sweden) at Crumbs & Doilies, but you can't because you live in Sweden. But I hope that I can visit Crumbs & Doilies one day in my life!

[@esko4871]

Hi Jemma, could you do a video on making whipped cream for cake decoration and what is the best way to colour it? Thanks!

[@manor1201]

Hi Jemma, I love they way you help to make the techniques easy to follow . I have friend's daughter that is unable to have sugar (it is quite life threatening and for her 18th birthday her Mum asked if I could make her some macarons, but I have had a quick look for recipes, not really with much luck. Just wondering if you may have come across any? I would really appreciate it, I would just like to bring a little sunshine to her for her birthday, she has had a couple of tough years. Sharon

[@MrsEddieMunson]

Can you add black food coloring to the dark chocolate ganache? I’m trying to do this for my daughters birthday cake Friday, fingers crossed it works out! Do you have any suggestions in the way of coloring the cake rainbow colors too? Or the icing outside around the cake and in between the layers black? Thanks!!

[@faolair3320]

How will the consistency of the ganache be? It looks quite wet in the video but maybe thats an optic illusion? Is it possible to make for example a wedding cake with this technique?

[@lillykon4181]

Have you used chocolate melts for doing the drizzle? I know they don’t taste as good as actual chocolate, but are easy to work with...

[@sandravanos2012]

Can you make the white chocolate gold by mixing in some luster dust?

[@813linda]

Are your cakes cold? Is there a subtitute for the cocobutter? Would a touch of canola oil work?

[@jennetrees2655]

Hi Gemma, can you do a Grenache drizzle finish on a sugar paste cake?

[@bthackeray9847]

Hi Jemma, thank you for the video! I want to make a drip cake for my 5 year old son's birthday. He's asked for a batman themed cake and I'd like the drip to be black. I thought maybe I could do chocolate and add black coloring... but I don't know enough about it to know if this is the best way. What do you recommend?

[@cendrellagebrael615]

Hello Jemma should we put buttercream covered cake in Freezer or fridge so that our cream doesn't melt down with the drip sauce cause it happened with me and my cake looked so messy 😁

[@z-cianuro-exe]

Hello! can I dye the ganache with regular food colouring (gel) ?? To make it a darker black! or should I use a food colouring for chocolate?

[@celiali8417]

Does this change when it’s softer frosting on the cake? Want to do a baileys frosting and those are quite soft but want some dripping too, will that ruin it? Thanks so much!

[@jadebarnes7476]

I’m wanting to do a black drip on a cake - would you do the dark chocolate ganache and add a small amount of black colouring??

[@lo78ly]

Great video as always, i was wondering is there a substitute for cocoa butter?

[@calliek89]

I am hoping someone answers this question. I live in the states and I can't seem to find cocoa butter where I am located.

[@sydcs5105]

Did you ever find a solution for this? Asking for a friend...

[@mariedelights6132]

Thank's for making this video, Jemma! It's really helpful. It has explained why I failed using white chocolate for dripping in the first place, 😁✌ bcos I need cocoa butter eventually!

[@cristinaanton8396]

Hi ! Please tell me the quantities you used for dark and white chocolate ganache, I like how you explain and understand 50% but you speak quite fast for me. I like what you're doing

[@juliamiles2471]

Hi Jemma I went on line to buy some cocoa butter there’s so many different types so now I’m confused 🤔 as I have never bought it before, which type would you recommend? Love watching you Jemma I’ve learnt so much thankyou.

[@jamespham2651]

Can you use a raspberry coulis or syrup for drip cake, or will that be too runny and won’t set? And If I cover the sides of the cake with a layer of finely crushed nuts, will the drip effect still work the same? Thanks in advance.

[@emmaskane78]

Tried this today and it worked perfectly. Thank you

[@FoodLoverByAnitaAndalib]

Your Technics are developing my confidence , Thanks for sharing.

[@emmabrewer4603]

Would love to know, Since theres ganache on the top which is made with double cream, does the cake need to be permanently kept in the fridge?/ how long is it best kept at room temperature

[@dianaliao5923]

Hi Jemma! Thank you so much for this class!! I am a novice baker. I do not like buttercream cakes, I prefer to cover my cakes with whipped cream. Is it possible that may I ever make a drip cake over it? i tried it once(before find this video), and the ganache on contact with the cream, got wet and melted down. If you can teach me how to do it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks and best regards!

[@thasneemshaji1102]

Is there a tutorial on how to do that painterly design on the second cake? How did you get it to keep the shape of the strokes while making it smooth?

[@yvettewilliams1486]

I was coming here to see if anyone else asked that very question? So, I'm guessing maybe she mixed different colors into the butter cream frosting. Idk but I'd love to know😂 I'm just going to try it the way I think she did it🤷🏽‍♀️

[@pamelatamang174]

Jemma, what frosting can I use under the chocolate ganache drip ? Will Italian /Swiss meringue buttercream work ?

[@Nutzername92a]

I used Italian meringue buttercream and it worked fine :)
