A lot of you ask me why I am so happy to give away our C&D Bakery recipes...I dunno, I'm just nice I guess!

I have made this cake twice. Once as the exact recipe which was delicious enough but second time round I swapped out everything peanut with hazelnuts. It was divine.... Definitely one to try

[@saraabdelrehim6674]

Thank you so much for sharing this detailed tutorial! I tried making this cake for my brothers birthday - he’s been asking me for a snickers cake foreverrrrr and this one was so good! It tasted almost like eating a snickers bar and was so delish! I followed the recipe as is, used regular flour + baking powder (instead of self raising flour / couldn’t find it), and pretty much made everything as directed and it turned out so good! The only thing I didn’t make was the caramel, I used store bought caramel, but the cake turned out so good overall in case anyone is wondering!

[@saycheesecakeclt6713]

I am SO happy that you cut into the cake, so that we could see the amazing layers!! I can't wait to make it!!

[@suzybaxter2715]

I want to thank you for igniting my passion for baking again, I used to do it years ago, lost interest doing it. Coming across your channel was an absolute delight, I've bought the book, and so far I have done, Blueberry Crumble cake which I LOVE, Lemon Drizzle is a weekly event and I have to make 3 of them one for my son to take to work, because they all love it. One for my mother-in-law and one obviously for us, I have made the chocolate overload cupcakes as well. So thank you for explaining in clear precise English. Look forward to more cooking, still not mastered the caramel yet but will get there

[@kellycoleman1122]

Conversation with my brother about your channel: “Kevin. When I travel abroad I have to go see this woman’s cupcake shop.“ Kevin: “you want to go see some woman’s cupcake shop? Why?“I showed him your channel and his response was “let’s go. Let’s go right now.”

I am from Tennessee in the USA. I made this cake for 11 year old nephew. The only thing I did that was different was I made salted caramel icing. It turned out so beautiful and was the most delicious cake I've made yet. Im a hobby baker who loves to make birthday cakes for my family. Thank you for sharing your recipes. This one is a keeper for sure.

[@gangakariappa]

💓 Making your redvelvet cake now and I have finished eating most of the batter and I am in heaven! Thank u and I love u! 🥰

[@nancyalfaro5074]

This cake looks amazing! THANK YOU for sharing the recipe. I will try it in mid- October for a bake sale at my work. And a big THANK YOU for your generosity of cutting it so we could see how sliced pieces looked inside as I know you could have taken to the shop to sell instead so very much appreciate it. You are the first video I saw which sparked my love of baking and the artistic side of decorating the goodies. Hope to be able to visit from USA and meet you one day.
