Thanks for the kind words. This was definitely a humbling experience

This video appeared randomly while I was looking for something to watch, and it was a trip down memory lane for me. I used to watch your videos all the time when I was in elementary school, and now that I'm in my second year of college, I still get the thrill after watching your videos.

[@annettewilliams0219]

lol i legit know what cake you’re talking about 🤫

[@rejemasevilla8139]

Maybe you can make a separate procedure for the caramelized disc on top then just transfer them on top of the cake? Made of sugar, butter, apf and glucose.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Great suggestion!! Where were you when I was making this?! 😂😂🤗

[@District4Studios]

Crème Brûlée is such a good dessert, and making it into a cake is something very cool. Very experimental, and mistakes will happen. Maybe the next cake like this will be when we do it right

[@HowToCakeIt]

Yes! That is the risk of experimentation. Sometimes it works other times you get a fake disaster

[@velvetjohnson2177]

It looks beautiful & delicious! I don't see any mistakes at all. The side got burnt a little bit but not much. You did a wonderful job as always!!❤

[@HowToCakeIt]

Thank you for being sooo supportive!

[@belindamenzies7620]

It just looked like the "dish" had gotten some burnt sugar and it had not been wiped clean. I worked as a dessert pastry chef and was my worst nightmare everytime I did brulee. Trying to keep the dish "clean" whilst burning sugar.

[@girlfromgermany]

Imo this cake still looks fantastic and it's no fail at all!

[@Maryam4726-l9p]

For the purpose of making you feel better, Im gonna say that I was in fact about to make a huge creme brulee cake and watching this saved me from making that decision, thanks lmao 🤣

[@nfcapps]

If you do this again, or for anyone trying it, couldn't you just do like we do with pie crust and wrap the gum paste in aluminum foil and then brulée? Maybe even two layers? I'm not sure if it would still cook the gun paste because aluminum foil isn't very heat resistant, but that's the first thing I thought up.

[@HowToCakeIt]

So many good suggestions. I might have to do a bruelle redemption video

[@burovcoursenot]

​@@HowToCakeItI think we'll have to hold you accountable for this redemption video. Great job tho! 🎉 I bet my huge hips, I'll still est this knowing full well you made it! God I missed watching your videos! Just glad I rediscovered you

[@charlieoscar2339]

Yolanda, I can’t make any of your beautiful cakes let alone a crème brûlée. However, as to your question about crème brûlée cakes, I was thinking that I would attempt to make a crème brûlée. Is that close enough? I love you, your team and your videos!

[@HowToCakeIt]

Yes!! I just want everyone to try new things. Be creative in and out of the kitchen!! That's the goal

[@osamabaldawi7417]

First of everything , before I watch this vidio, I don’t believe that this cake failed ,because you make it Yolanda. You are the queen of baking cakes, I like it.

[@HowToCakeIt]

So much of cake decorating and baking is trial and error. Always learning so I don't think "lfailing" is actually all that bad and actually important for growth

[@shortey8422]

Even though you didn't get the sugar to burn properly, it's still a delicious looking cake. I'm with you on ice cream or créme brûlée when I get dessert. Maybe next time you can make a template (obviously not something flammable) and cover the gum paste so you can burn the sugar to the edge the way a good créme brûlée would be. 🤷. It's nice that you do show fails as well.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Thank you for the suggestion. And for the support, means a lot

[@launaallereau.8177]

you should have done the Caramel part aside by pooling a caramel with few drops of lemon juice to have it more liquide, on a silpat inside a cake ring that have the same diameter than your cake top then when it is cold and set, just to have placed it on top of your cake or even better to have spread some sugar directly on a silpat, cook it till caramelised in a oven then cut it round with a cake ring.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Great suggestion!

[@tashikaenglish2713]

I loved the cake! 🔴🔴🔴 I thought you were going to use one of those stainless steel cake rings and put it in the freezer to make sure it was really cold, and hold the cold cake ring to block the outer edge of the gum paste while you torched the sugar. I think it would’ve worked perfectly. 😊

[@arfatahreem8932]

Looking yummy and good ❤not fail don't feel it's Hard working stay blessed 😊

Hi Yolanda, Hope you're well! As an inexperienced baker, why not add the custard in the middle but making it a bit more firm with perhaps a touch of cornstarch, that way it does not ooze out when you are decorating the cake! Nicole

I bet i was tasty though! I'ts fine Yolanda on to the next!!!

I love Crème Brûlée!!!! It’s my favorite! Your cake turned out great and isn’t a fail at all. Question: would caramelizing the sugar in a saucepan, drying it into granuals again and then using the torch to make it the color you are looking for a good idea? 😉♥️

[@abena2881]

Yolanda! This was not a fail! It looks so nice and delicious, will be trying the custard. Also I do understand you wanting a crunchy crust. I think you should tackle said cake we do not talk about one more time. It’s embarrassing how much I think about that cake because we cannot let her defeat you! You can make it smaller! Not add 🍎 under the fondant, but just in the holes of the lattice. Carve the cake to look like the dessert with the hump shape you know. Also instead of getting the 🍎🥧 filling up can just lightly cook them like you did for the 🍎🥧 mega cake. I know you got a lot going on but you should truly try that one again.

[@alleyesonjulio]

whta?? it's big fail?? no way, this is still look so yummy and looks good!!!

[@HowToCakeIt]

It was yummy so the flavor for sure was NOT a fail!

[@gregorybeattie]

I would have made a heat-resistant shield to put between the custard and gum paste while torching. Maybe cardboard covered with foil, curved to follow the edge. Try again!

[@charleslavoie7622]

Yolanda, would it have worked if you caramelized the sugar in a pan first ? You then pour the liquified sugar on the cold (or even frozen) cake. The sugar instantly sets, and then you can blowtorch certain parts of the sugar to make darker spots here and there.

[@HowToCakeIt]

Will add to my suggestions list!!

[@charleslavoie7622]

@@HowToCakeIt Awesome!

[@Islandgirl8179]

It came out beautiful, I was expecting a big disaster, I think it just needed a little touch up on the burnt side with maybe a dash of white frosting to hide it.

Could you put aluminum foil around the rim and remove it after using the torch? Or would the gum paste still get cooked?

Good suggestion. Will have to try it out

[@kurtiz04]

Could you have put the gum paste on last? Like made a flexible plastic liner for the créme part then did the gum paste the slide the plastic out? Also have no idea how that could work lol...

[@kirstenvanveen4066]

It looked beautiful, Maybe another time put some cute dollops of whipping cream around the sides where you can't burn the sugar. It covers the unburned places and kind of makes it look that the unburned places were on purpose.
