[@petronel7299]

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!! because of your videos, I am now busy starting a cake business here in South Africa. I am an Accountant, not a chef, but I learn so much and people love it! THANKS so much for these videos!!

[@begonafernandez2305]

That is great! How is the cake business going? I wanted to do it!!

[@isurid.keshani6272]

I also do that because of the vedios found at youtube

[@dorafuentes8510]

Wow

[@MCGamerD]

Yay! You go.

[@Jforadrianne]

Jemma I feel like I've almost mastered buttercream and I've made great cupcakes too! because of watching your frosting techniques and using the grams for the good butter and sugar and milk it's just been amazing and I've been baking for years and I love it but thank you so much!

[@leonigeray9193]

hey Jemma, could you do a video about the different kinds of sugar, what to use them for and what they do in a cake or cookie. I'm sometimes a bit confused about the different kinds like dark brown, light brown, demerara, white sugar, etc. greetings and lots of love :) 💕

[@CupcakeJemma]

Maybe that’s a good idea for a Tuesday Tip. I will consult the gang 😌

[@leonigeray9193]

@@CupcakeJemma you're the best!! thank you so much :D

[@auntiedough2488]

Thanks for showing the super white powder and the cocoa butter. You’ve mentioned them in other vids and I wondered what they looked like.

[@kimberleytaylor1025]

Just want to say a massive Thankyou Gemma .. I have managed to make a 4 layer sponge cake and iced it with your famous buttercream and finished it off with a choc ganache drip .. it looks amazing and my whole family are shocked to the core .., I couldn’t of done any of it without watching your amazing videos ! Thankyou so much my daughter is going to love her b day cake ... oh and I’ve never made a cake before in my life 😊 x

[@emyalsharkawi1873]

I seriously love you Jemma, I'm a baker too and besides being inspired by your videos I feel so at home & so good just watching you spread joy in the form of yumminess. Thank you

Hi Jemma ... I learn alot from u .. now I manage to bake my family's birthday and special occasion. All bcoz of u so amazing and talented person. Thank you so much.

[@adammcfarland7952]

Thank you for going so in depth for the white chocolate. I am making my mom a cake for Mother’s Day with white drips

[@amitoliagoradia8564]

Hi Jemma, from India. Today I followed your above tutorial to the T, and hey, got an excellent chocolate drip icing onto my devilish chocolate cake!!!!For a first timer it wasn't bad at all. EVERYONE loved it!!! thank you so very much. I am an ardent fan.

[@cheripowers9924]

I absolutely love your channel! I've learned so much from watching. Got to go find someone to bake and decorate a cake for, lol!

[@anazajec41]

Hi, Jemma. Can you please please please do a video about how much icing do we need if we're making different sizes of cakes or if we're combining stuff from different recipes. I do this quite often and I never know how much I need 😑. Love your channel and the recipes ❤ xo

[@raimukhopadhyay9539]

Really good request! Usually a regular buttercream batch makes way more for 12 standard cupcakes or even a 2 inch cake. And you cant really save it for quite long or just eat with a spoon like pudding!! Often I find baffled how much to use for a 4 layer cake or a bigger 10 inch cake.

[@vatsalnarang5814]

that's a really good idea

[@marree]

this would be great

[@GolemiqVrat]

4.bp.blogspot.com/-J39aP6kcR1U/UahRnKjCFiI/AAAAAAAAMZk/LvQm0kzjxZw/s1600/tablica.jpg - Here You can see a table how to calculate the measurements for different sized cakes. On the left is your recipe, on the top is the cake that You are making. It works really good for me.

[@ThuMinh-jg9ie]

What I need too Thanks

[@BananaBabe2oo8]

I've never done a drip cake before and I've opted to do one at the weekend so if this works, I'll love you forever!

[@Sweetthang9]

Jemma isn't here for people who need volumetric measurements and I LOVE IT.

[@mubarakkaz617]

PatisserieBoy HI5 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Bakewithcare]

She said “it’s an equal 50-50 recipe” so I guess it has the same amount. Like 50g chocolate and 50grams cream ☺️

[@nige13]

You her spokesperson? lol

[@benchaddict1704]

Kara im afraid the point of the original comment completely passed you by....... 😄

[@benchaddict1704]

Patisserie Boy. I will never understand why the cups measurements are so popular in some countries. It's so much more accurate to work in weight rather than volume. Love your comment!

[@sarahbee27]

Thanks for this, it’s really useful. It’s the coloured drips I struggle with xx

[@catherinejones9317]

This is the best tutorial I've seen on doing drip cake

[@ashleighdeane342]

Thank you for doing the video on drip cakes. Looking forward to trying it out soon xx

[@carikshawn4201]

THANK YOU...getting back into business after many years and never did this before... it's gorgeous and I'm excited to be baking again and have this to use too Today is March 26, 2022

[@anacrespo3619]

Could you do a tutorial for mirror glaze please?? 😀

[@maxbtw41]

Hi Jemma I’m 10 and I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years now and baked most off them I’ve always loved baking and I’ve alway made cakes for fundraisers my Aunty owns a cake shop in Hertford shire and I asked her what the next level? And she said drip cakes so happy that you have a recipe ! Thsnks

[@cathy1239]

Thank you so much for this! I made a 2 tier Ferrero rocher cake yesterday and attempted a drip but it went terribly, my chocolate drips melted the buttercream, and were way to thick so they didn’t drip they were also pretty lumpy and now I see that I overheated it, I’m trying this today on the cake and hopefully it goes a lot better. Thanks for these tips!

[@shezzys]

Always remember to check the temperature of your chocolate drip before applying it to the cake. I will be uplaoding a video next week regarding this xx

[@burtv1610]

2.1 million views. That's amazing. You and your business and your staff are wonderful and looks like such a lovely place to work!

[@rabeab8116]

This is perfect because just last week I was thinking that I would love to try a drip cake 👌

[@pixiyang]

her videos are always so calm, I love it

[@gilldixon5470]

Amazing help, been having a nightmare with white chocolate and coloured drips, but just done my best ones yet, thank you so much for sharing

[@ritulipi]

Thanks a lot for your tips. I tried the drip icing for the first time and it came out perfect !!! Thanks

[@OxLILLIxO]

Yaaass another video! I’m so thankful for this one because I’ve struggled with getting a perfect drip with white chocolate in particular! Thank you x

[@CupcakeJemma]

Glad to be of assistance 😁

[@jademacgrath]

Yesterday I decided I wanted white chocolate ganache instead of whipped cream to garnish my birthday cake, today I stumble onto your extremely helpful video. So happy right now.

[@greentea4617]

*cut to me straight up drinking the ganache*

[@lifeonmars478]

puts it in the piping bag still.

[@sheilaread7724]

OK so this all makes sense.. Finally think I have found the perfect drip. Going to try this today. Thank you xxx

[@sumiiluv]

just used this ganache recipe. was a good starting point but had to add loads more cream to make it runny. Tip for anyone with leftover ganache put it in a mug and add milk microwave until hot add a bit of sugar if u like and you have some yummy homemade hot chocolate. so good. Try it sometime

[@bmpboland]

O my Lord everything that could go wrong did go wrong..my ganache was too thick, the top shot off my squeeze bottle mid drip spilling ganache all down the sides..hot humid day in sunny Aus so buttercream softened really quickly.. crappy turntable got stuck, crooked and wobbly (note to self don't scrimp on key baking equipment) but I have learnt lot of repair tricks from you guys so persevered and got a "good enough" first effort to give to my newly wed neighbours as a wedding celebration cake..looked very home baked, but I learnt a lot..thanks Jemma

[@bethstones9957]

Used this for the dark chocolate ganache, worked great and the drip I have made looks amazing

[@LettersFromMercury]

For anyone who needs the measurements in cups if you buy 8oz a chocolate use 1 cup of heavy cream. As 8oz equals to 1 cups. Hope this helps! Great video this was really helpful and worked well when I tried it! :)

[@aldonagudmone4881]

I just made my drip cake. White chocolate drips is perfect. Thank you Jemma

Did it harden? Either on the cake or the leftover chocolate?

[@diananeenooth2237]

Thanks for great advise regarding how to handle the chocolates 😊🙏🏻…gorgeous results as usual Jemma 🥰

[@EfromR]

Not really most people read their chocolate a bedtime story before using it in ganache. That's how it got it's name, "ganache" is french for "good night"

[@smalltimetraveller0412]

Just what i've been searching for...gotta make one tommorrow.thanks much!

It does not matter what the cake is covered with. Drips work with everything!xx

Thank's for making this video, Jemma! It's really helpful. It has explained why I failed using white chocolate for dripping in the first place, 😁✌ bcos I need cocoa butter eventually!

[@margaritaloschacos5839]

Hello, I love your videos and your way of teaching, I have improved a lot in the creation of my cakes. I have a question in your chocolate drip video do you use cocoabutter can you use edible coconut oil?

[@sydcs5105]

I was thinking the same thing! Did you end up trying coconut oil? If so, how did it go?

[@joeasthope2064]

First time I've done a drip thank you it turned out ok not fantastic by all means but I'm happy with it I had to do a mix though of chocolate I only had milk 35% and dark 70% so did half and half worked ok Thank you

I am so glad you made a video about this because my daughters birthday is coming up soon so I need to make a cake at home because my daughter's dad is in Pakistan but other why's my daughters dad would take the whole family to think and decide the theme for who evers birthday. Thankyou for this recipe😉👍☺

[@somasribanerjee572]

Hey Jemma, I'm your big fan, can you please say that for the white chocolate drip can we use cream like you did in the dark chocolate part?? Please help..... As cocoa butter is a little expensive and is scarce in my area where I live...

[@rosemarieguzon1921]

Wow it's amazing, can put any design on the top too

[@honestlygio7830]

Question---not done with video but short term memory....lol. is this cocoa butter like the 100 percent pure cocoa butter stick that I use on my body. 2. Your drips look perfect 3. I'm loving the thorough instructions and tips I've never done this. thx

What are the ingredients of Super White Powder? Is it Titanium Dioxide?

[@beingkindiscool8097]

Hello! can I dye the ganache with regular food colouring (gel) ?? To make it a darker black! or should I use a food colouring for chocolate?

[@manor1201]

Hi Jemma, I love they way you help to make the techniques easy to follow . I have friend's daughter that is unable to have sugar (it is quite life threatening and for her 18th birthday her Mum asked if I could make her some macarons, but I have had a quick look for recipes, not really with much luck. Just wondering if you may have come across any? I would really appreciate it, I would just like to bring a little sunshine to her for her birthday, she has had a couple of tough years. Sharon

[@thasneemshaji1102]

mam.. u r amazing... mam i didn't saw using cream for white ganache..is it chocolate only... pls reply mam

[@Akitten84]

Lovely drips, milady! Just curious if after the top ganache has settled in the fridge, does it smooth out completely, making it look glassy or is there another technique that you would use for that? Every ganache covered cake I’ve seen has that perfectly shiny smooth look to it. Love the apron, too, beeteedubs 😉

[@daudreebaker1826]

Those drip cakes look beautiful.

[@ILIKEYKCHASE]

You made it look easier for me! Imma try it real quick! Thanks!

[@sincereherrera4923]

Hi Jemma can i use butter instead of cocobutter. Thanks!

[@Stephmadeitforyou]

how did I not find your videos before today?!? your explanations really are brilliant thank you!

[@ItsWayMoreThanMusic]

Does this also work on cakes frosted with stabilized whipped cream? If I chill the frosted cake prior, will that affect the consistency of the whipped cream when it thaws to room temp? Thx

[@MrsEddieMunson]

Can you add black food coloring to the dark chocolate ganache? I’m trying to do this for my daughters birthday cake Friday, fingers crossed it works out! Do you have any suggestions in the way of coloring the cake rainbow colors too? Or the icing outside around the cake and in between the layers black? Thanks!!

[@lyricaessex5697]

This was so so useful! You're amazing and such an inspiration ❤️

[@beryllai]

Hey Gemma. Can you please tell us which kind of chocolate do you use for dripping cake? Couverture chocolate or compound chocolate or just random chocolate for baking? Thank you!! Wait for your helpful response!!💓

[@benchaddict1704]

It has to be couverture!

[@Amanda-vf5xg]

Hi - I love you videos! I have used the white choc drip recipe a couple of times. The drip is perfect consistency but I am finding that it goes very hard when it sets up so if I put it all over the top as well it can crack when cutting the cake rather than cutting through nicely. What would make that happen please? I’ve followed the recipe exactly but I wondered if the quality of cocoa butter would make a difference? (I use the suoerwhite powder too. Would appreciate any advice please. Thanks so much x
