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!

[@ritulipi]

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

[@marykelly9698]

I love your teaching so easy to follow thank you jemma 💕

[@leenanachappa8553]

Thanks a ton Jemma... I tried it for the first time n it came out perfect 😍😍🤗

[@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 😌

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!

Looks sooooo satisfying!

[@Jellywife]

Thank you so much for this video Jemma. I’ve always wanted to try drip cakes but never been brave enough 😬 maybe now I’ll give it a try!

You can do it! It’s super easy! 😊

[@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"

[@naturallycurlymama5344]

The pink looks so beautiful I definitely want to try this on colour

[@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]

[@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

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

[@rabianadeem21]

Wow!!.. Thanx jemma💕
