Shouldn’t we call it « Candy DANE Yule Log »? ❤ I love you Dane, you’re hilarious, and creative, and fun to watch 🫶🏻

[@danepemberton136]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@MagentaLooks]

Love that I knew it was Schitt's Creek even though it wasn't the right line!

[@mypitpack.]

Absolutely LOVE watching Dane bake in these videos. Love his humor and he explains everything well. Happy Holidays to everyone! Jesus be with you all🙏🙌🙋‍♀️

[@danepemberton136]

Thank you! I hope you are having a great holiday ❤

[@lesliedausey]

Speaking of older videos, the first Cupcake Jemma video I watched was when Dane made macarons. It was years ago, and I have loved watching ever since. I cannot tell you how much I have learned over the years, and C&D recipes have become my go-to recipes when I do bakes for friends and co-workers.

[@shirleylewis3490]

Me too! Love the recipes and all the bakers!!

[@danepemberton136]

Ahhh this is brilliant! Thanks for sticking with us ❤

[@greatboniwanker]

Can I just say, Jemma, that I ❤ the team you've gathered around you. Hi Dane 😊

[@popoy_xtra]

Thankyou for being such a vibe Dane haha so funny and quirky. Werk!

[@danepemberton136]

Thank YOU for watching ❤

The abstract glam decor of the classic yule log is so gorgeous! Well done, Dane! I have loved Cupcake Jemma videos for so many years! Merry Christmas and lots of love to all ❤💚

[@hinakhodiyara7883]

Simply stunning. Probably the Best Candy Cane Yule Log, in the world. Thanks Dane :)

[@danepemberton136]

FOLD IN THE CHEESE DAVID

[@tand9218]

Was it a Schitt’s Creek reference 😂

[@user-ji6kb4qj6n]

Always the best. GOD bless you all

[@macaoron]

Wait Dane, what does "fold it in" mean? Do you fold it in half like a piece of paper and drop it in the bowl?! 😂

[@danepemberton136]

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO BE ANY CLEARER…you take that thing that’s in your hand and you…😅

[@CaribbeanLife101]

Looks so delicious. Dane you are so delightfully funny. Merry Christmas!

[@danepemberton136]

Haha thank you! ❤

[@yvonneohare2769]

Fabulous ❤

[@agirlnamedchuck]

I bet this is delicious!! My favorite cake is devil’s food with real whip cream and peppermint. 🤤 Also thank you for giving a non-alcohol option. I appreciate that.

[@danepemberton136]

Of course ❤

[@hasnabam263]

the yule log looks so pretty and delicious. Even though I did not have the reference you were talking about, it made me laugh because you're so funny Dane 😅

[@danepemberton136]

Haha! It was from Schitts Creek 😅

Qué Rico 😋 💛❤️😱Feliz Navidad para todos 🥰💛💙❤️🎅🎄

[@d.denissemartinezmorales620]

Dane fan here!!! 🎉💜

[@HoneyHolliebee]

This looks delicious! I was wondering could you make a blackforest cheesecake please? I had before years ago but can’t find it anymore and it was absolutely delicious and I know you bakers at crumbs and doilies would make it millions times better! Like so delicious you’d eat the whole thing in one sitting 😂

[@Ireland460]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all guy's from Vincent Callaghan from Dublin City Ireland ❤

[@unofficialstudios2115]

I was just about to do your other Yule log recipe and do my own peppermint twist to it, then you dropped this??? Perfect timing, ty! 😆 Definitely making this today for my Christmas tomorrow! (Wish me luck guys 😂 this will be my first time making a yule log lol)

[@danepemberton136]

Ahhhh!! I hope it went well? 🙌🏽

[@unofficialstudios2115]

@@danepemberton136 I accidentally didn’t bake the cake long enough so it was superrrr moist 😂 I was kinda able to roll it but it was pretty flat log 🤣 Everyone loved how it tasted tho! Definitely going to try again! lol 😂

[@adrianatirdea2020]

Delicious, thank you

[@katespalding2134]

I made the Yule log last year and it was a huge success xxxx

[@danepemberton136]

Yay!! 🙌🏽

[@mahajan19neha]

Wow, wow wow! That is one awesome Yule Log. The most colorful one I have ever seen. Amazing! Is someone able to confirm the pan size though? The description states 9x13 and per the video, it is 9x16? It looks more like the Jelly Roll Pan size to me.

[@drouinjohnny9036]

Myra Rose moment ….love it….

[@lisamoore6804]

I wish you guys were my neighbors.

[@BBaybiie]

Is this recipe for the sponge similar to a chiffon cake?

[@Anne-cl3xc]

I have an off-topic question: i like cooking crusts for the cheesecake from scratch more than cookie ones. could you please give me the recipe of the chocolate crust?

[@joshsealey5600]

Do you know Andrea because if you do she is my stepmom

[@davidtaylor111]

[@monicawang2564]

The meringue was so over beat! Look at that texture! It’s supposed to be firm and silky, not like a smashed tofu!

[@rosemarywarner6759]

There was hardly any sugar in there, it'll have looked more like beat egg whites...
