This was the BEST baking/cooking tutorial I've ever seen. Not just the best of KZbin - but the best including The Cooking Channel & Food Network. You were clear, specific and detail-oriented. You explain tools, basic cooking skills and your explanations aren't condescendingly. My daughter and I watch your videos for ideas and enjoyment. She is 12 and you have taught her the metric system! You are a joy to watch- I hope to see you on my television soon. Sorry about the #fangirling in the comments!

[@theawright2972]

How true

[@carrieharris9470]

When Jemma says " scrappy, naughty, bald bits " I love that. Her accent is adorable. I love to hear the British talk. Love you, Jemma!

[@monkeymoma32]

Thank you so much for making this video! I made my daughter one just like yours for her first birthday and it came out great. Your instructions are perfect!

[@MetalKunoichi]

Everyone's talking about the recipe and here I am admiring beautiful Jemma! You're just as sweet as your cupcakes!

[@carrieharris9470]

That is a very beautiful giant cupcake. That is so stunning. A month ago, I made this cake and the icing the same way. It's gorgeous and it is very delicious. You are right, Jemma, the icing is very creamy. Love you, Jemma.

[@emwow23]

[@TigerSan007]

I love your baking mitts in this episode, they are so cool! Looks like they protect your arms from getting burned and allows you to grab more of the pans.

[@sugarcoder]

You make it look like a lot of fun, Jemma! Thanks for sharing your tips. :)

[@candaceclarke3034]

Regards from Venezuela!! U rock!!

[@naduanjek]

OMG Jemma I love you obviously, just like how you love cupcakes

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

Do you ever layer your giant cupcake ? I find It's nicer to eat when not such a thick cake with little frosting inside...only a suggestion..I know most probably make it this way ( like your video).. love all your videos, I'm almost all the way through your list :)

[@vickielynne9493]

I can bake good but I get my aunt who is a pro when it comes to decorating ...she aces all she decorates ..thanks for such an informative site Jemma and a sweet night to you :)

[@konstantia7]

Hey Jemma!!!I wanted you to know that I did your recipe today and it was DELICIOUS!!!The cake felt like eating a happy cloud ( if that's possible ) and the buttercream was as smooth as it had to be!I subscribed to your channel and I will follow you from now on because I can tell from your face expressions that you are a real candy lover,just like me!!!Keep baking!

[@valarieong]

i just got my hands on your book and im sooooo soooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know you share some of the recipes here on youtube but the thought of owning the book excites me

[@sandraforsythe7908]

Thank you for archiving your recordings. Now I feel confident in decorating my cake.

[@jooniemini]

Omg just made this and it looks amazing and is the most delicious cake I've ever made! Thank you Jemma!!

[@yessicamilagros994]

+night.air excuse me but where did you get the cupcake mold=]

[@jooniemini]

+Yessica Milagros I got a silicone one from amazon :)

[@tulip4592]

i actually got mine from aldi i live in uk in blackburn and its really the exact same one as she had so if theres a aldi store near ur house so u better look for one!!! have fun

[@Awesomemener]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR MASTERCLASS!!

[@carrieharris9470]

CupcakeJemma, could you add cocoa or chocolate or both to the batter to make it extra chocolatey and fudgier. Love your channel, Jemma. I never made a giant cupcake before. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@jenniferfitzpatrick306]

Absolutely amazing tutorial. I did have one question though about the removal of the top and bottom once cooled from the oven. Please could you explain in more detail. I once made it greased like you showed but once I removed from the pans didn’t end up being ok, I usually use grease proof paper. Thanks 😀❤️

[@brendahughbanks2202]

Jenna just a suggestion, keep the top of the cupcake in the pan to trim it, it's soooo much easier to get it level. 😁

[@Isaboeefe]

This looks fantastic! I'm going to buy one of this giant cupcake trays on ebay to make it here! :D

[@andreamoboe]

Finally. I now know how to use my giant cupcake moulds. Thanks Jemma :))

[@mckenziefamily]

2019 and this video is still one of the best!

[@joguard2793]

2022 😁👌

[@meganmarie4208]

This is the BEST! im doing a giant cupcake for my little ones cake smash and all the tutorials show a candy/chocolate base(not really suitable for a 1 year old to smash up) so this buttercream base is awesome and looks great!

[@est19711]

Dear Jemma. thanks. I love it 😍 Regards Stefanie 🇩🇪

[@jeanhoward3347]

I have recently discovered you on UTUBE and I think you are fantastic. I have just ordered your book and hopefully I will be able to make some of your yummy cakes. They all look so yummy and what I like is that they are all so different to the usual cupcakes in the books I already own. Please keep it up. Jean

[@cshgdchagi]

Love her hair here!!! 😍😍😍

[@janetleyva6685]

OMG thi is literally my life! I need this at my next party!!

[@eileenheavey387]

Dear #CupcakeJemma: I just got your book and just wanted to congratulate u for it. It's amazing!!!! I just love it and can't wait to make some of the recipes. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Chile

[@paulinamartinez7276]

I love watching your videos sooo much

[@BLVDBVI]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that makes sound effects XD like blimp, blomp and bloop :3

[@JemmaJude]

Definitely trying this out. Piping is harder than it looks though, i need more practice :D love your videos Jemma. You're an inspiration

[@EssexTed]

Its not fair that i love cake Thank you so much. Will be trying this later!

[@discopantsandhaircuts1135]

Thanks so much for this tutorial Jemma. I have one of those tins, but always been to scared to use it! I'm going to get me a turntable and have a crack at making my own b'day cake!

[@TravelingFoodie22]

Just tried the technique for icing the bottom portion of the cupcake and it worked like a charm but my dumb self used canned frosting instead of the buttercream I made because I tinted the homemade butter cream one color and wanted to use a different color lol. Will use that technique again as most tutorials involve the chocolate mold so this is great!

[@SterlsTacos]

I love how she's like an edgy baker👏🏾👏🏾😁

[@michelletran6348]

Fantastic & detailed instructions..great tips! Just bought your cookbook since your recipes are indispensable for my cupcakes :) thanks!

[@samshalomdee61]

You are cool Jemma.. I like watching ur unique way of demonstrations. 😍😍😍👍🏻

[@2011middlesbrough]

Just got my giant cupcake tin..can't wait to make one following your recipe ☺️

[@patrykbialkowski6484]

I got your book lately and I love all ur videos, I want to work in a bakery when im older too, keep up the good work because u inspire me ♥♥♥♥

[@yvetteindyk8297]

So easy to do I love it thanks Jemma xx

[@tiffetha]

i'm so glad you didn't use fondant, this is awesome.

[@sunshineeppy8120]

I. Wish they had giant cup cake liners like you would use for. A regular cup cake

[@Ghyxurl]

That's a great I dea

[@sunshineeppy8120]

Dynamite1489 thanks!😀

[@tasss7395]

The cake would be too heavy and the case will collapse

[@scaussie75]

I was wondering if the coffee filters they use in cafes would work. Or could just make a choc liner using the mould

[@yoly507]

I use the silicone one and use molding chocolate

[@ArlieBean]

Amazing video - Any tips for cooking the inside fully without the edges burning?

[@angelatrone1010]

excellent!! yes!!!! i feel more confident about making this now!!!

[@KWallPouredWallsLLCFletcher]

Jemma you are amazing I love cupcakes and giants so combine it and BOOM MY FAVORITE THIS/desert XOXO

[@thenuevacara407]

[@jerikamorey5326]

Im making a Giant cupcake for a project in school and this helped so much... Thanks!!

[@hey3545]

I love watching your videos.😉

[@14cja]

You inspire me Jemma!!

[@AlexanderWu4587]

Giant cupcake?! Hahaha, loving it!

[@sephirarakssharki]

Question - why do you choose self rising flour for a lot of your recipes? I typically would use cake flour and then add the baking powder and salt myself. I actually have a giant cupcake tin that I purchased to make my son's first birthday cake... getting inspired to use it again!

[@marciagiller3072]

Hi Jemma, I've watched it through and will try it for my grandson's birthday. In your expertise, can you advise how to make it dairy free?? Ever used Almond Milk in the cake itself??

[@lesleymontes35]

love this!!! i have that exact same mold that i bought and tried this immediately for my cousins bday, only i missed some of the steps you did like crumbcoat, and i didnt have that (actually i still don't- why?!?!) turn table! thank you so much for this tutorial now i am game to try this again!

[@tequishadukea1964]

I loved the way how you made that cute cupcake

[@ciara7178]

Gotta try this looks so nice

[@SprinkleofWilly]

How pretty!! Wish I have that tin!

[@miguelinagrullon5042]

Hi jemma i loveeeee your channel. I have a little concern i have this pan and i follow the directions which is 3 1/2 on the bottom part and 2 1/2 top but the bottom always come out under cooked i use a dominican cake recipe any suggestions please and thank you 😊😊😊

[@lowjack102]

Yummy I really like it beautiful design.

[@nurzawanimohdzaid4400]

Hello pretty Jemma! Can you show us how to make stiff and pipe-able cream cheese frosting ? Maybe a good moist carrot cake or red velvet recipe to go with it . Thanks !

[@jojo9w]

oh wow. not that u r anything near crappy here but u have improved so much sinsce. so amazing to see. honestly gives me a little bit hope for myself lol

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

Wow! It's enough to feed a classroom full of children.

[@atlee89]

I reallly love your videos xp, I did my own version of red velvet cake and a Oreo cake XP. I am going to London in March, I am looking forward to visit your Cake and Cupcake factory. you are amazing.

[@gabriele7535]

[@katiekaos629]

Wish I had this video when I first got my pan haha. took me a few cakes to make it look cute

[@michelles.5630]

Love your channel and this amazing cake!! Thank you so much Jemma for being a fun person, and sharing all your knowledge, tricks and tips.x

[@elinevdbosch3125]

Hi Jemma, i Baked this twice now, but it doesnt rise as much as yours, eventhough i weigh everything. Do you know what i could do? Could it be cause i use a soft baking mold? ,(silicon). Thanks for all the cool video's🤩

[@lucamaistrello5067]

hi jemma. in your videos you use most of times buttercream. but if I liked a healthier cream with less fats what would you suggest? thank you in advance

[@TheClumcy]

I love your job !!

[@Lucy-wr2hv]

Love cupcakes #live watching her videos

[@mariadelpilarromero4289]

Hi Jemma! I really like your videos and recipes! Next time I am in London i will visit C&D store for sure! Can you let me know were can I get this Giant Cupcake tin? My little niece, she is 6 years old, really wants to make this giant cupcake cake. Thanks!

[@ImIrreplaceable2U]

Hi Jemma, The giant cupcake is so pretty! I'm just wondering if you can make this with mudcake and if you can, would you have to put a cake circle in between the two pieces and dowels? Thank you :)

[@Nina-tt1co]

Wow amazing thank you 😊 I've got the big cup cake silicones I think is called 😐, I'll defiantly going try this recipe

[@rosaspringer7908]

beautifull tutorial thanks jemma!

[@zpt-pi2zr]
