Wonderful video Jemma! I'm a pastry chef here in the US and I just flew into London from Arizona. My first stop...Crumbs and Doilies. Your staff were lovely and the cakes were wonderful. Picked up a book too! From one Chef to another, keep making quality content, we all love it!

[@dee8546]

"I'm going to do J because I want to eat the whole thing by myself. Which is totally okay, right? It's mostly air." Haha I love you so much Jemma. And yes its definitely okay.

[@Syng777]

I saw the video in my subs and my first thought was "Oh, isn't eton mess her favorite dessert? isn't it the same?" and realized I know a youtuber's favorite dessert because I've been watching these videos for way too long.

[@rachelmccormick5906]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. It’s my Mams birthday this week and she is a pavlova lover more than your typical cake so she never really gets the perfect birthday cake. So this week I am making this for my Mammy 😊can’t wait. I’m thinking I’ll do a heart shape ❤

[@Charliefarley170287]

Prettiest pavlova ever! Although it needs sprinkles. Everything needs sprinkles.

[@dweebado9112]

I am currently making this, (it's in the oven) but when I made the meringue, the grains wouldn't 100% go away. I must have mixed it for like 15-20 minutes.

[@yomama1169]

Did u use caster sugar or granulated sugar

[@laurajgrant]

I always have the same issue. Hmmm?!

[@janethamil9337]

OH Jemma!..I have never heard of a Pavlova before..where have I been?!..this is so beautiful and delicous looking..Great job as always!...

[@himariimayagunasinghe7377]

Jemma's excitement about whipping cream is just the living embodiment of pure joy

[@madgeroonii]

Ooh we love a cheeky pav I dunno how it is in Britain but at woolies here in aus you can a whole Pavlova with heaps of fruit including kiwi fruit and grapes and peaches. I live for it.

[@lindak8664]

Speaking here as an Australian, we who believe we invented the humble pav. I have to say that that is the most stunning pavlova i’ve ever seen. And because whipped cream should definitely not go to waste, i would absolutely squeeze a lovely dollop beside the slice. You could possibly pop another berry on top then blissfully lapse into a pavlova coma. Good job!

[@biophile2]

I think I enjoy whipped cream as much as you but I like making Pavlova with crème moussaline stabilized with gelatin. That way if it doesn’t all get eaten the water from the cream won’t dissolve the crispy meringue.

[@CupcakeJemma]

Oh great idea. But takes a bit longer so when I need a pav-fix I need speed 😂

[@erikaciantar6553]

Casually ending up having a Cupcake Jemma video marathon after a new recipe is uploaded :D

[@harleyjaine4241]

Hi Jemma, how do you know how big to do the letters out to? Thanks. :)

[@emii7339]

Lovely!😍 I don't know why but I also like to whip cream by hand. Especially big amounts. Somewhy I feel like 4dl takes less time than 2dl, I never watch the clock is that true😄 It's good to sometimes eat whole cake by yourself, hope to see you soon 🙈

[@marieanne23]

Your pavlova letter cake is a work of art! The flowers and berries look lovely, what a perfect summertime treat!🍓🌸☀️

[@vannastarr8897]

your tattoos, personality, sense of humor, and love for baking makes you look like a badass

[@dorothy6200]

I always wanted to know how to do this, I see pictures of this type of cake design all over the Internet!

[@daddylonglegs444]

Sending love from South Africa ♥️ Can’t wait to visit C&D one day!

[@SP21187]

Is it possible to make a cake with edible flowers. If yes can you make it for me

[@pattycolon5594]

Ah Jemma you slay me 😂 The "If it's too much I'll just eat it" bit had me cracking up. Love you and love pavlova!

[@limaman7262]

That's my motto too!

[@blueberrys7165]

😂😂😂😂

[@kayleighashraf4161]

Hi Jemma, I am hoping to make this for a birthday and just wondering how long it will keep once it’s put together? If I make it up in the morning would it last until dinner time and where would you recommend storing it? Thank-you x

[@DolledUpDesserts]

Beautiful! I’ve always wanted to make these, I bet I could do them with aquafaba!

[@CraftnCreations]

Dolled Up Desserts lol

[@juliekoh8468]

Yippeeee! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks Jemma ❤️ Now I've an idea what to bake for my daughter's sweet 16 birthday and that's next week . She told me to surprise her ! OMG !! It's a challenging task for me cause it's my first time baking a birthday cake . Wish me luck ....... Love you Jemma 😘😘😘

[@aureliaedwards1162]

Going to London in 2 weeks! C&D's my first stop

[@chahi321]

How wonderful!! quick question... no cornstarch? I always thought you needed cornstarch to make a pavlova chewy in the center. If you don't need cornstarch to get that texture that would be great because I have family allergic to corn so if i can make this for them and it's still the same texture, that would be amazing!!!

[@ellenspear50]

That is a really cute top she's wearing.

[@simonetasleemali4937]

Gorgeous dessert jemma! I wanted to see u cut it though

[@jooniemini]

I think the Bake For Syria book editor needs to watch this because I noticed they used a 'g' instead of 'j' on your recipe page! I was scandalised 😝

[@CraftnCreations]

night.air lol😂

[@blueberrys7165]

😛😛😛😛😛

[@yusufchi1983]

Hi looks yummy ,in the previous videos you also use cornflour how come this time you don't?

[@relaxwithjasmine2903]

Did this yesterday for my mum. Very good but fulll of sugarrr buuuut the taste is gooood. The only problem i found is that the letter breaks easily. Even in the video it looked like jemma had some difficulties also. Thanks for the great video :)

[@vjohnson2400]

It looks amazing, looking forward to trying it out for my husband’s birthday.

[@_larissaxsach]

OMG!!! SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!! I was looking at your last upload thinking "Its been 6 days since she last uploaded, she'll be uploading again soon!" 😂❤ omg love you

[@marshmallowterror]

Larissaaa sakchekapo she uploads every tuesday, 18:30 London time, i think :)

[@_larissaxsach]

[@blueberrys7165]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@babyOfwinter]

Hi Jemma, I have questions about the pavlova hope you could help me with it. When the pavlova dressed with the cream, is there any way to keep the cookies crunchy even at the room temperature even when it's piped with the cream? Cause as far as I understand, once the cookies place in the fridge it will sweat and turns soggy right away.

[@jennifercosgrave5896]

Thank you for this brilliant video. A question please. How did you draw the large letter? I did a B but mostly by Hendon’s!!!

[@saraboulmazet8521]

love this pavlova *-* thanks for the recipe 💖

[@blueberrys7165]

[@lindsaybarnes4600]

Hi Jemma, I've just seen this and want to make at the weekend for my mum's 60th birthday, I have a quick question, is 90c fan oven temperature or non fan? I have a fan oven, thanks

[@DiaDia18]

[@nataliakamimura8792]

[@xXSharonSauerXx]

I've been waiting for you to make this style of cake! it looks perfect, as always

[@yungrapunxel9708]

Can u plz make brownie batter ice cream recipe plz

[@wznpersuasion]

What is the shelf life of this kind of cake? I don't want to rush it the whole night before, would it be okay in the fridge for a day or two?

[@charlottebentsen4754]

“I want it somewhere past floppy but before stiff... Hopefully you guys know what I’m talking about!” 😂

[@mariealainawalukas3048]

Jemma.......its so.......BEAUTIFUUUUUUUUUULLLLLL!

[@lordhelenachrist]

Hello, I love your channel. We are busy eating the mini baked doughnut with coffee. Yummy. Thanks. Question; with the edible flowers, how do you wash or rinse them? It's something that I battle with, even the spices from the garden.

[@jennieshepherd145]

I have been struggling to get my recipe right for my sons birthday cake in the shape of a number 2 it keeps turning out really dense what am I doing wrong can u give me any tips please x I love your videos they r great x

[@peanuteu]

You definitely need to experiment with aqua faba! Macarons and Meringues !

[@CraftnCreations]

Love It♥

[@virgomoonbeam]

Wow that looks amazing,my name begins with J and i adore meringue !!!!

[@bryonyneville8333]

Hi Jemma, do you have any tips for storing cake? My mum has made your rainbow cake for a party I am having tonight but doesn't want to leave it out or put it in the fridge for fear that it will go bad! What do you usually do?

[@sandrabevins7363]

Hi Jemma Do you just use normal malt vinegar or white

[@Devilbabe521]

This looks amazing! I am gonna make it next week :)

[@dee8546]

Your energy and enthusiasm in this video is amazing. I want to bake a pavlova cake and give mine to you too. :) :)

[@dee8546]

Your videos are always filmed with energy and enthusiasm which is one of the reasons I love your videos, but you are even more excited in this video and it makes me so happy.:)

[@ineedlulz]

Hey Jemma! What’re your thoughts on dissolving the sugar into egg whites over a bain-marie versus this way? The meringue recipe I’ve used in the past provided much stiffer meringue, but for this do we want it to be glossier and not as stiff (does it add to the chewy-ness?)? Thanks!! Looked delicious 🤤

[@BaarsKiwiFam]

I don't think it gives the same crackling crunch outside and soft chewy centre like a Pavalova is meant to have if you cook the egg whites into the sugar

[@mrmrsralphiesasmr777]

Good day Queen!! We love you to bits!! Hugzzz 💐💐😘😘👌👌✅✅💜💜

What we can use in replace of white wine vinegar?

[@taralynmitchell7372]

Hello from Georgia, USA! Thank you Jemma for sharing your beautiful recipes. I've made many of them! I'd love to make this pavlova but I am curious if the meringue goes soggy quickly or do I need to eat it quickly all myself? :)

[@johannakitchenboss9761]

Taralyn Mitchell Meringue lasts ages! You can make them well ahead of time. Upto a couple of weeks even if you keep them in a tin x

[@taralynmitchell7372]

Johanna Taher Thanks! In was just afraid that the moisture from the cream filling would compromise the texture of the meringue if not consumed quickly :)

[@nessagirl1911]

I do think that once you get the filling on it you should eat it soon. The dry meringue does indeed last quite a while, but once moisture is involved they do soften. You could maybe try to cover it in a thin layer of chocolate (don't know if that'll work) or just decorate shortly before serving.

[@johannakitchenboss9761]

Taralyn Mitchell hi love - you’re gunna have to eat it quick Taralyn 😂 once you put the cream in it, it will start to break down..... no other choice babe, eat them 😉

[@mariamc4875]

Wow jemma this is amazing!!! How would you store this??? Please do tell me.. would love to try it

[@faye2417]

Can I use white vinegar instead of white wine vinegar?

[@janicemiller9006]

I follow Bigger Bolder Baking (Gemma) on You Tube as well. I don't usually get your names mixed up. lol

[@elizabethbauer1247]

What size is the large piping nozzle u used in the pink bag? Ur videos r perfect thank u so much for sharing with us xx

[@imranizam4498]

How is your meringue texture after baked it only for 60 minutes at 90 C? Mine can go up to 5 hours to dry at 90 C Need help

[@frozensardonyx3945]

Plz make macarons again

[@ellenschram9154]

I’m curious what is the purpose of the vinegar in the egg whites and sugar?

[@sarahnawaf8671]

hi jemma ..very important question .. what is the best kind of oven should a baker use .. gas or electric .. fan or no fan..I hope you reply

[@maysahazife1534]

Omg this looks so easy. Wish you showed us how you cut it lol

[@edithcreevey5790]

Looks amazing as always jemma!

[@annitherainbow]

Why is the cream all yellow?

[@fathima9524]

Love your videos jemma - love from South Africa

[@nonnalovepriceless]

Hello Jemma so sweet I make mine the italain way with Italian riots in season I’m from near mk Lots of love . Enjoy 😉

[@snsdlovermuahahaha]

Love love love love!!!!

[@its_me_annalis]

Love this recipe!! Is it possible to make meringues with a sugar substitute? That would be a cool video. Love you and your work!

[@hikinggirlinlv1719]

Help! I tried making the Pavola recipe. After mixing and doing a taste test that the sugar was completely dissolved. Once I put the mix into a piping bag, It was soo runny and it was turning into a mess and when I tried piping my letter on the baking sheet, It was like flooding into a pool. Then after all that when it was in the oven(convention) it came out hard and yellow... What could possibly of gone wrong?

[@mvvao84]

Hi Jemma, would you mind telling me where you get ur really cute spatulas?? I've been following u for awhile now n see them in alot of your videos, love them but can't seem to find a good quality one. Thank you

[@Forever_is_a_long_time]

[@richardsmith2890]

Silly question Jemma. What vinegar do you recommend I use?

[@TACOinFLORIDA002]

[@Multi2794]
