I'm no expert, but I don't think you can add pineapple to gelatin. The enzymes in the fruit won't let the jelly set up ETA: I agree though, adding flavour would have helped

Business Articles need to pay attention to Emmy. She has mastered the art of catering to her audience. She knows that on a youtube cooking channel, people are only going to "see" interesting recipes.They can find realistic cooking recipes easily elsewhere. She picks out things no one would ever dare to cook and pics recipes that are visually and mentally stimulating and interesting.

This is what most marketing classes and websites teach already. When in an industry is saturated, find a way to make what you do within that industry be interesting and unique.

[@Seldarius]

I imagine this cake falls under the category of: awesome to look at but a disappointing eating experience. Especially the “ocean” part where you get about two thirds gelatine to a third chocolate cake. It might be nicer to use actual jello or prepare the gelatine with a clear juice, lemonade or white wine instead of water.

[@benjwilliams5104]

i LOVE the idea of using (probably diluted) white wine! I'm also not a huge chocolate fan, and I bet you could do something with, say, lemon cake and buttercream icing instead of ganache? Make it smooth, rich, a little tart, a little boozy? YUM!

A tip for anyone heating up something delicate in the microwave: set the thing to HALF POWER. It'll take longer, but you'll run much less risk of burning or overcooking. :) Also, if you're going to do big gelatin project like this, you don't have to buy lots of little boxes. Plain gelatin is available in 1 lb jars - much cheaper!

[@audreymuzingo933]

@@stevecochrane9059 Another thing; I've experimented with various types of mint flavorings/extracts and found myself nothing but frustrated by how tricky it is. Namely, I make my own ice cream and have never been able to create a chocolate mint that even tasted as good as a cheap store brand. And apparently it's not just me --creating the cool-but-smooth mint taste in most commercial brands must involve some trick, either one or two of the other ingredients in the mile-long list, or just knowing exact version of mint flavoring to use. There's a local (regional) small business ice cream maker here in Mobile, and all their flavors are hit-or-miss. They have the best chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream I've ever had, but their chocolate mint literally tastes like toothpaste, and I don't even know HOW they think their pistachio is right --somehow it tastes like cherry cough syrup!

I made this cake. I wanted to boost the flavor of the gelatin, so I replaced some of the plain Knox gelatin with lime and blue raspberry Jello (for color as well as flavor). About a half a box worth, so the color didn’t end up being too opaque. I also replaced the first amount of water with Baja Blast Mountain Dew (again for color and flavor). I used lime juice instead of lemon and backed off the amount a bit in order to add coconut flavoring. No need to add extra food coloring. It turned out to be a perfect shade of ocean blue and still transparent enough! :)

[@themadking4399]

I made one of these cakes for my birthday last week. It turned out to be mostly jelly and chocolate and not much cake. Use quality chocolate, don't be cheap. It took me about 2 1/2 days to make. I used 2 cake mixes, 2 packets of milk chocolate, half a packet of white chocolate, half a cup of cream and 1 1/2 litres of jelly. The jelly will be more of a gummy texture. If you aren't a fan of gummy jelly you won't like the cake very much. I bought aeroplane jelly and just added some more gelatine, worked well. I layered the jelly from deep blue to a light aqua so I had to do the separate layers about every 5-10 minutes which was time consuming, but worth it. It doesn't last long in the fridge without the mould. The jelly struggles to hold together because of gravity, it will start to split after several hours, so best to take it out and finish it off just before you serve it.

I really want to push out of my rut now, and Emmy is an inspiration!

[@andreabilodeau3850]

Listening to her talk is so wholesome;-;

[@VeryCherryCherry]

I don't remember another artist before Bob Ross's show, so I looked it up: Bill Alexander "The Magic of Oil Painting" and he did teach Bob Ross. From Wikipedia: "Ross also dedicated the first episode of the second season to Alexander, explaining that "I feel as though he gave me a precious gift, and I'd like to share that gift with you [the viewer]". " He passed away in 1997.

[@Techsticle]

"The Magic of Oil Painting" - with William Alexander!!! My Dad and I also watched him and Bob Ross, back in the day! 👨‍🎨🎨

[@yelloteef9408]

I love how thorough you are with including all details in your tutorial

[@institches2750]

THANK YOU for talking about how it tastes! These sorts of ideas look very cool, but I always want to know if they taste good too!

[@igorarnaud]

I'll never look to a little mermaid theme cake the same way again, Emmy.

[@Glamazonnnn]

Every time you’re successful I’m always like “she deserved that”

[@qupimashups5326]

Kylie Johnson i have the same exact reaction she works so hard and is so persistent

[@Stellra52]

Right!? I'm only happy if Emmy is happy.

[@Yupmoose]

First of all, YES! This is a great cake to do like a dinosaur island! and Bob Ross and William Alexander would have loved the painting techniques! Awesome, Emmy!

[@patspivey1716]

That is amazing. I found my next project with my nieces. You also made it a pleasure to watch. I used to love Bob Ross . I watched him every day at 2 when I was a kid. Thanks for the video I definitely subscribed.

[@ashleighrudman]

My fiance's birthday is next week. I'm going to attempt making this cake! He loves the ocean X thanks Emmy

[@CricketsBay]

Use different jello. The weird flavorless lemony stuff Emmy used is nasty.

[@MarkMunches]

Hope everyone had a great day and I pray we all have a great weekend filled with delicious food 😋

[@justtracy5062]

She’s so cute and seems legitimately excited. 😂😊🥰

[@mamabean6684]

Ok, so I know I'm pretty late in the comments but, this was so super amazing to watch, so beautiful! Baking is pretty much an art within itself sometimes. I myself, am not exactly that artistic or anything.. but this video right here really inspired me because I love baking, I enjoy it very much and I hope to one day create an amazing masterpiece like that. The detail was just gorgeous and so divine looking. The cake literally looked too good to eat. I really loved this video, I pretty much love all of Emmy's wonderful videos, she has become an inspiration to me, this is just a big favorite of mine. I know I may seem kind of dumb but honestly I really enjoyed watching the construction of this cake. Absolutely lovely!

[@YeshuaEllisLamb]

"A great way to teach your kids about island formation" I KNEW IT WAS ALL CAKE!

[@karlaavila8218]

Hope that everyone that sees this is going to be successful in the future

[@Rhiii1000]

You too 💜💜💜

[@Bug_H]

And you ❣❣❣

[@helloootheresirr4839]

pls shut up

[@thecrabman777]

Karla Avila thank you

[@rosaunolalintino]

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement 💛🥺

[@wildsagediary1109]

You definitely are the first person I’ve seen doing this. I hope you get all the recognition you deserve for this! And thank you for your honesty about the taste lol

[@chithao5609]

She is the Bob Ross of the kitchen. Art and all

[@gooseberryproductions8908]

This is just more evidence that the earth is a cake

[@themadking4399]

Anything is cake if you're hungry enough.

[@MrInsertfunnyname]

Always has been

[@seamstressdragon8707]

Well the moon is made of cheese so of course Earth is made of cake!

[@caroljeeben7064]

The earth isn't flat or a sphere, its a cylander!

[@laceyelliott2826]

My very first thought when seeing the image of this cake was that this is the Bob Ross of cakes

[@wigglyfruit4708]

Yess totally

[@Heevvyy]

Wonder if her kids get excited when they see her new "inventions" or are they used to it but anyways they’re soooo lucky 😭😭😩😩

[@BakerBikerGeshe]

Doing one just as a volcano would be awesome, each slice would be more consistent Jelly V cake proportions. I wonder too if you made tiny fish shaped candies, poured in 1/2 of the gelatin mixture, let it set, then stick the candy fish in, then finish with the other half of gelatin then set. That would be super neat!

[@kanneyu2348]

This would be a great way to do a cake of the two volcanoes from the “I lava you” video!

[@MimiRox13]

This needs more likes!

[@dentist8444]

The lava would be the caramel or strawberry jam, or whatever you might call

[@laurad5428]

You should've added mint flavor to the gelatin so it was mint chocolate cake

[@rickyricardo9710]

mint gelatin sounds horrible though

[@binx2942]

Ricky Ricardo If you like mint desserts Mint jello is reaaaaally good. My grandma (now me) used to make a sorta mint jello and brownie desert thing with hot fudge for parties, it’s the thing that made me a fat kid growing up 💀

[@TrollHiddenCave]

@@binx2942 mint isn't supposed to be sweet it's supposed to be like chewing gum or a t I never understood one that make mint Desert

[@ferdaousselmoussaid8843]

Troll Hidden Cave mint ice cream is great though?

[@mariguanaiguana]

Troll Hidden Cave mint can be sweet though...

[@TAGMedia7]

Your videos give a whole new meaning to food art.

[@LindaW1956]

FANTASTIC job!!!! You do such a great job on everything you do! Amazing.

[@starlyknewyoupartner7335]

as cool as this cake looks i feel bad for anyone having to get a 70% jello slice u_u

[@dextertanedo]

I saw the original video but Emmy confirmed my theory that the gelatin part will be least liked because of the texture combination and now the taste itself. This is a great visual treat but if its food, taste is king! I look forward for someone to improve this concept. 😊

[@norwAySMR]

I guess it's possible to "lessen the amount of sea". Maybe have a thin layer on top with some deeper puddles here and there!

[@IQzminus2]

I think doing a flavoured pectin, made with some fruit juice or lemonade (that has as little colour to it as possible) and maybe adding a bit of sugar to it as well. I don’t know if you can get the pectin to be set enough to hold its shape and still have a pleasant texture though. And maybe change the cake flavour or at least make sure the sea and cake flavours compliment each other. I think adding a coral reef of tiny pieces of strawberries and raspberries divided into individual or small clusters of segments could be both tasty and look good. And the gelatine/pectin should persevere the fruit really well as well.

[@AudreyII-]

Yeah I think if the valleys were less shallow it might help but would be less dramatic looking.

[@JennL919]

This could be the top tier, and the bottom could be another round cake with a similar color icing to the gelatin

[@maureennochannel]

This woman makes me feel like I could try anything and actually be good at it.

[@kellielawlor9059]

I love how excited you get. You have such a sweet personality. You make me smile 😊

[@maryj4876]

I love how Emmy is so adventurous. Trying all kinds of food and weird stuff. And that make us all wonder, curious, learn and eager to try as well. 👍 Love Emmy's channel. 😘
