@@sneakybeaky1588 Assuming you have the tools to bake with and also an oven. Wouldn't taste the same. Also a shitton of experience in making frosting and spongecakes, to have a perfect texture.

This particular cake is legit one of the recipes that, if handmade by a michelin chef, can be sold easily for 40 or even more. Perfection has a price.

[@GreyPunkWolf]

There are a ton of royal cakes that would cost more than 500 for this exact reason but with way more expensive ingredients, that also require way more experience and knowledge to bring all together to perfection. The cake in this vid is quite easy to master, hence why even if perfect it looks like any storebought chocolate cake.

​@@GreyPunkWolf I think you're vastly overestimating the amount of skill required to make this. Anybody who's good at baking who has a stand mixer could easily do this.

This is my kind of chocolate cake. No jams, berries, fruits, or anything like that.

[@pandaismynickname]

I just love that it's a simple cake. No 14 tiers. No gold leafed roses, or elaborate sugar work. It's just a simple, standard cake simply meant to be enjoyed. 😊

Am I the only one that wants to know the exact measurements of ingredients because I want to make it right now?

I agree, they should post the recipe if they are going to make a video on this they should show the whole recipe.

@@iman5826 because any cook worth their salt will tell you that there is no other tools better than your hands. How stupid do you expect kitchen workers to be even thinking that we don’t wash our hands, trim our nails, and keep our equipment clean?

@@eli8600able i think she has a bday in June because that's when she was coranated but I'm not 100 percent sure

[@VV-er3zg]

@@sarahrichards3909 all british kings and queens celebrate their birthday in june even if born another month because in june its more likely there’s better weather so people can gather, there can be a carriage ride, a flypast, all that. The ceremony is called Trooping the Colour and is the occasion for which all the family goes out on the balcony. Charles was born in november so June will fit him well, and ironically William was born in June so when he’s king the parades will likely be one week or so before his actual birthday
