For Pete's sake, tell us what you do with all that cake every week! Is it just the bottom layer that's cake? the others are fake? Are your neighbors and your staff starting to ask you not to bring cake over they're gaining too much weight? Are you donating to the local mission/shelter? Please!

Hi all! There have been lots of questions on fondant vs. modeling chocolate. Here's what Joshua says: "I used modeling chocolate because it was an "epic" chocolate cake ; ) Fondant would work as well." And, to the questions on coating chocolate: "There are not really types of coating chocolate; just brands. Coating chocolate doesn't have cocoa butter but a different kind of fat that melts at a higher temperature. The one I used is coating chocolate with non hydrogenated fat from a company called Master Martini." Keep posting your questions!

[@elizabethsalcedo6393]

It is wonderful to see how a professional person like you make it look so simple to produce beautiful pieces of art in your cakes.

[@marthawelsh4867]

Joshua, I love your show! Early this summer we had 3 of our oldest grandchildren visiting us(7,5,&3). I don't remember how I came across your show but all 3 kids became enamored with you and the"guys you can't see". So we would watch your show during dinner. We would stop and discuss the show as they thought of questions. Thank you for being a cool roll model for my grandsons and granddaughter!

[@cham2001]

Our family's new favorite on KZbin. You are amazing and my kids love, love, love your humor. Thank you!! Keep them coming.

[@stacyryan7164]

So awesome!!! Joshua John was my first Craftsy instructor and his class was so informative and enjoyable! Following!!!

[@sortathesame8701]

Thanks! Love the idea of adding the touch of color to the leaves. It really popped on the finished cake!

[@ala1391]

"Gurl, Im gonna put buttercream in between your layers just how u like it." Im dying here 😂 hahaha

[@artnunymiss2530]

I like the way he dropped that epic hint about the rubberbands to make sure your fondant is level. If you blinked you missed it!

[@armistrickland7720]

Great tutorial as always. Gives me an idea for a cake this weekend for someone who's turning 80! Thanks Joshua.

[@annaschwarm6241]

Hey man about cake, can you please post more often? I have watched all of your videos about twice. I NEED MORE MAN ABOUT CAKE!

[@vinnyverma5485]

[@sharongriffith6743]

[@MCTanyaaa]

These videos are so addicting cant get enough ! Very beautiful cakes

[@gsunsetave]

Loved this video, that cake looked so decadant and delicious. Joshua and his crew interact so well and are a delight to watch.

[@joetoskin8163]

I made this cake 2 weeks ago with pink roses. got many positive comments. cake is very rich might want to serve it with ice cream to cut the richness

[@CraftsyYouTube]

If you have any pics, post them with the hashtag #ManAboutCake! We would LOVE to see your work!

[@annasandoval3150]

Joshua you were my first crafty class! I'm so happy to see you teaching again! You make learning fun!!!

[@Rezbone]

OMG DOLL!!! That chocolate cake is sinful looking 😍. Reminds me of the cake in the movie Matilda 😁.

[@Esther918820]

Oh...when he put that chocolate drizzle between those cake layers? That was IT for me!!!😍

[@4Jeeperz]

Loved your video. Love your humor! I watched every minute and I rarely do that. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks to you and your crew!

[@247KW]

I love watching you interact with the crew...ya'll rock

[@edi8771]

Finally I found a channel where the cake doesnt look dry and WOW DEAR GOD THOSE CAKES YOU MADE ARE REALLY GORGEOUS. P.S : and the best part is YOU CUT THE CAKE. OMG how satisfying

[@rosesilva4769]

Thank you Joshua! I'm a huge fan and follower. Thank you sharing your ideas and techniques. Many Blessings!

[@Clarky1951]

Very cool. Love the chocolate coverings.. Learned a couple of tips on covering I didn't know., I like that. I've made a wreath of flowers for a cake. Flowers weren't gumpaste, but coffee filter paper flowers.

[@josephinerojas746]

you are my absolute favorite cake artist and an inspiration to where i want my skills to be in the future!

[@LovetheLoveliness]

I can't believe how this is so casually perfect! In every direction, the video, the editing, the guys, the cake, so casually perfect. I also can't believe this is your first video! it's up just two months ago, which means there are only few more videos for me to watch :'( still love that your videos are out here for me to watch tho :D Owh, btw, that chocolate cake with chocolate ganache with chocolate buttercream with chocolate in-between with chocolate double cover, that is so make cake!!!

[@joashleypedroza8744]

I LOVE HIM!! I'LL BE WATCHING EVERY WEEK

[@ashconner2293]

Thank you so much for sharing. This cake turned out absolutely beautiful. You're my favorite cake person to watch on KZbin

[@myong2206]

[@suzycoffey5810]

I love your cakes everyone of them. I watch your youtube's at 5am every morning.

[@nicolejaggassar3127]

I love this! The good dust effect was so simple but wonderfully stunning! Keep the episodes coming!

[@ms.theabaking]

The gold dust helps so much on showing the chocolate streak. Nice deco!

[@debidelay7496]

Love it. As a florist this is easy. Awesome job.

[@LagaBeii]

Was watching all the older stuff before this, and this is diffidently my favourite type of video out of the lot. Reminded me of How to cake it. I like that you showed the process to the finished product and cutting it open. Would be great to get a longer clip of the inside? OH and do you feel for stacking cakes the recipe for the cake needs to be different to that of a one layer cake? Thanks. Great humour :D

[@perlarodriguez7074]

beautiful cake!! I love the way you make the flowers those roses are amazing. Thanks for the tutorial Joshua you're a great teacher and funny too.

[@CakesWithLorelie]

Nice work. I love the gold dust over the chocolate. Fun video. :-) Congratulations!!!

[@susankennedy2199]

Love the video production and your energy and humor. Chocolate cake looks amazing! Hope you do more videos.

[@8416mac]

Before i asked the question, i clicked on the links and searched every page for the jumbo size ball tool and did not find on craftsy, so not all tools used as shown are on craftsy!

[@tokazowskido]

Love! So excited about this series! Joshua has some great tips and is very entertaining!

[@mogoiloba1418]

Wow! This is so beautiful. You did a good job. Thanks for always being an inspiration to many of us.

[@leahredwine6850]

I just found this guy and he is already my favorite person👌😂

[@shoachiwarrior]

Cool cake! I'd love to see an outdoor themed cake, with fish, deer that kind of stuff!

[@huckle0517]

JJR I absolutely adore you!! What a talented and amazing cake artist you are. You inspire me every time I watch your tutorials. Thank you for sharing and helping me keep my passion alive for the love of cake making. Would love to be as good as you some day🤗👍❤️

[@mariejustet4392]

Josh is really fun to watch wish he had more ..Plus he makes it look really easy.. Great Job Josh.. Rock On!! Or should I say...." Cake On".. hahahaha whatever .. ;)

[@priscillaburnett6790]

I love this chocolate shmear technique!!!

[@jacquelinepellegrino6148]

It looks amazing! I agree that you should have a designated ruler for this purpose alone. I would however be interested in knowing more about this dragon that you got close enough to that you could see its skin. Your just so funny! Your cakes are all beautiful, great video.

[@80swati]

Hi. I just loved the technique it came out so pretty. Just one question...will this technique go well with ganached cake as well if not using fondant or modeling chocolate? Thanks.

[@letthemeatcakeii4802]

Hi, love your videos and sense of humor! Where can I get some of your t-shirts you've worn in your videos? In particular, the black one from a couple weeks ago with the "slice of cake bowling the stick man over"? -Is that description helpful or just weird?

[@packersgirl1978]

Beautiful job, thank you so much for sharing your tips. Can't wait until next week!

[@rakshadarshan6612]

Hey. Love your Craftsy classes. You are a good teacher. I have a question, why cover the cake with modeling chocolate why not fondant?

[@bloomingtreewoodworks]

Love love love!!! Can't wait each week for new episodes!!' :)

[@carlotavilas9172]

Amazing cake!! Thank you for sharing... What is the recipe for the coating chocolate you use at the end to paint your cake?

[@ann-louiseheaton5320]

Good question! Having looked, I cannot find it amongst the recipes either ☹️

[@dimyathm1765]

This is beautiful and inspiring! I am gonna start learning soon and Joshua has made all my nerve disappear. Thanks Josh and keep up the great work! P.S I don't understand the usage of straws before placing the upper layers? Please explain. Once again, Thank You!

[@yolandapierce4258]

Great tutorial! How in the world do you keep your hands "fuzzy" free when working with fondant? No matter what I use to dry my hands, the fuzz always gets into my fondant!

[@wfmontgomery]

Thank you so much this has been a great help, with great tips!

[@altawood2623]

Great video!! Good job, Josh! You make it look so easy!!

[@laurazeller2014]

Can I use regular milk instead of soy or almond milk in the chocolate cake recipe as far as changing the taste?

[@Jaijojee]

ik everyone said this before but i have to say it honestly you guys this is literally the guy version of how to cake it like Yolanda always stops to say something funny ad the middle just like this and Brandon is literally jocelyn. i need a collab omg

[@deborahbowdidge7303]

Hi can the coating chocolate be used for drip cakes too? thanks for the video x

[@Islandchic44]

I absolutely love this video. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@almasaenz4009]

Omg! Just found your videos! Love them!

[@devoralara8197]

I have that yellow scraper, it’s my best friend. I don’t know how I lived without it! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@scottewing7959]

Great video and instruction Joshua! Well done indeed!

[@aannawilliams7385]

Enjoyed learning some new tehniques

[@lindacerqua9473]

Loved the cake and your sense of humor. I can't wait to see what you do next week.😀

[@8416mac]

Great job JJR, your work is always amazing! big fan!!! I'm truly glad for this show, I will be definitely tuned in and subscribed .

[@henriksen4]

Love this video!!! Josh is a great teacher and entertaining to watch. I have bought his Craftsy classes and will be tuning in for this series. Josh, if you are reading this, I would love to know if the layer of modeling chocolate is really necessary since you don't need a flawless surface. Couldn't you just paint the coating chocolate onto the chilled ganache? Or would it not hold up as well? Thanks.

[@dianaviera6228]

Loved and enjoyed every minute of it! Congratulation on your new journey!!!

[@waterlilly62lori]

Joshua John Russell...you are,awesome!! More please. p.s. I love the shirt. 😀

[@SweetJulesy]

Absolutely awesome!! I have subscribed. I love your cake and the floral wreath! Julie McKee, Scotland x

[@affanorama]

the red roses remind me of the scarlet carsons from v for vendetta....that is one cool cake..!

[@hamidehorra4849]

Love! Love! Love! Your work. The personality’s a bonus.😁

[@lindasutton1987]

Do you have a gluten free and vegan cake recipe?

[@novanova346]

You have phenomenal talent. No joke.

[@sunnyfenske5344]

can I use white chocolate for the modeling chocolate? I hate the taste of fondant and want something that can be airbrushed.

[@caitlynmarie8186]

2018? Anyone? I can’t believe how perfect his cakes come out to be!

[@mariaresto3282]

I love this cake and you are a hoot! Can't wait for the next video!

[@claub1847]

Amazing cake! Great video, well explained and even funny. I will be watching every week. Thank you Joshua and Craftsy of course :)

[@yesicageorginapentucci6482]

Por Dios que tus tortas y sus diseños son un lujo. Felicitaciones!!!

[@Grim511]

Re watching for the 3rd time with my 6yo Freyja and 4yo Runic. We’ve been watching MAC since the beginning! So excited about your new show 🧁🐈🦖💖

[@coriolyn]

I can't believe there is someone else out there like me who LOVES cake. Cake is by far the best food on the planet. And what a variety. Personally, I believe that if everyone had cake, there would be no war --- because they would either be eating the cake, getting fat from the cake (so military can't fit into jets or whatnot), sleeping from the "I'm so full I need a nap" syndrome, or telling others of great flavors of cake. Personally, i don't think anyone can be sad when eating cake.

[@carolynvisser6663]

GORGEOUS!!! I'm going to start practicing!! This could take some time!

[@carlagreathouse2761]

Just starting to get serious about making cakes. I've always made them for friends and family but I'm starting to venture beyond and pushing myself. My question is, how is it that cake can go in and out of the fridge and not dry out?

[@melaniewilson8508]

Best cake how to video ever!! Funny and fast and the cake looks amazing 👏🏼 xx
