[@vuongle9084]

Thanks 👍

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

No problem :)

[@jenniferochoa1910]

Hey. I need help the custard won’t get thick. I’ve done it 2 already

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi :) Using slightly higher heat can help get it a little thicker. Just slightly higher so that you don't burn it. Hope that helps :)

[@roccogreen3]

Looks wonderful. I would have liked to see how you cut it.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

roccogreen3 Thank you!

[@cmt7453]

My favorite ❤️

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

[@Yevakovalchuk]

Amazing recipe! Great video!

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Yeva Kovalchuk Thank you!

[@clairejohn1007]

Looks yummy

[@genevievechan8017]

Hi Is the pastry supposed to be crispy or soft after custard absorbed in? Thanks

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

It should soften up after a few hours or overnight.

[@erikasanchez2620]

Yummy

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thanks, Erika!

[@TheMajiga]

I love the napolean cake coz I used to eat it a lot in my childhood years. Anything time saving is wonderful. Thanks a lot. Can I use store bought vanilla custard?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Yes you can use store bought vanilla custard but the taste won't be the same.

[@isubmit2allah666]

Is it ok if I use 2 packs of the puff pastry (4 sheets) like stacking 3 and using the fourth one to crumble?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

You can technically do that, but the ratio to cream won't be the same. You will just be left with a lot of extra custard filling.

[@kowsalyasiva8552]

I have never eaten napoleon cake yet but looking at this makes me want to eat it

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

It's delicious, a must try :)

[@juliascakes3348]

mmmmm....so yummy. Looks amazing.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thank you! :)

[@Tammuzlady]

It is looks so yummy, but i want ask you.What is the difference between a Napoleon cake and a mille-feuille?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thank you Violet! There are a few differences but the biggest one is that a mille-feuille has almond paste instead.

[@Tammuzlady]

@@SimplyHomeCooked thank you so much, and i will be very happy if you share us how to make a mille-feuille 🥰

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

@@Tammuzlady I will at it to my list of recipes to make :)

[@npm1421]

Can I bake multiple layers to save time?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Yes you can but half way through baking rotate the baking sheets. This will ensure more even baking :)

[@npm1421]

@@SimplyHomeCooked thanks you

[@user-lb5ph5ke7d]

So it doesn’t have to be baked?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi :) The puff pastry layers get baked. You don't have to bake it after it is assembled. I hope that helps clarify :)

[@user-lb5ph5ke7d]

@@SimplyHomeCooked oh okay thank you so much 😊

[@HomeCookingJourney]

Yummy! 🤤

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

So good!

[@mrkenwu1]

This cake is too good for Napoleon! LOL!

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

😊❤😊

[@liliyasokhatyuk5502]

Я делала два раза крем и у меня не получилось. Всё делала как написано а крем не густеет . Жаль☹️

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Liliya Sokhatyuk sometimes it takes a little higher heat and faster mixing to thicken your the custard. I hope that helps ❤️

[@cuahangnhopoppy]

How to preserve napoleon cake for a long time?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Poppy Dahlia you can refrigerate it for a few days. I have never frozen it so I’m not sure how well it will freeze.

[@cuahangnhopoppy]

Simply Home Cooked thanks so much

[@JustMe-ki2jb]

Обезательно попробую приготовить

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@caldenb.555]

viva la cake

[@aldoranematzada8214]

I made this from scratch... I probalby won't make this unless its a special occasion 😂

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thats awesome Aldora!

[@AnnaVdovychenko]

In the instructions you have two times the number 11😊

[@victoriatrujillo221]

Where can i buy puff pastery?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi Victoria, most stores carry puff pastry. I get mine at Albertsons in the freezer/fridge section. Hope that helps :)

[@victoriatrujillo221]

@@SimplyHomeCooked okay thank you!

[@pavlovka]

Traditional Russian cake

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thanks

[@Me-ed8no]

Whats undated butter, probably unsalted

[@baharfardipour4995]

Once again, I didn't watch till the end, then I realised that we don't have cool whip in the middle of making it.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Bahar Fardipour oh no :( you could probably still make it work without the cool whip. It just might not be as sweet.

[@ainibakat149]

Same here..we don't have cool whip. I'm thinking of a good subs to replace it.

[@Nura4N]

You should buy heavy cream in any store and whip it by mixer

[@fernandolopez3905]

Why are they called " Napoleons"?

[@estonian44]

oo i thought i make from scratch

[@jetsamjetsam]

we have the same kitchen

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Nce :)

[@Christ-1]

That custard was too thinly spread imo. I'd make 50% more next time.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

I guess its personal preference. You are welcome to add more custard. I hope you at least enjoyed the taste :)

[@YuliyaHable]

Omg, who makes Napoleon from store bought pastry???

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Юля Куратёва this is why I call it “EASY” Napoleon lol. And I mention in the video that it is not traditional. You are more than welcome to make your cake layers from scratch if you prefer not to use Store-bought pastry dough.

[@YuliyaHable]

Simply Home Cooked as someone who knows the taste of the original cake I feel bad for those you use your recipe with store bought dough

[@aldoranematzada8214]

Юля Куратёва Relax, its a cake.

[@YuliyaHable]

Aldora LaPlume don’t tell me what to do please, it’s not polite

[@user-uj7gv7gw6y]

Юля Куратёва I don’t think you were being polite to the creator of the video

[@AnnaVdovychenko]

Thank you😊
