Milk Bar Birthday Cake from Christina Tosi (Momofuku)

[@melsyoutube]

as i’m binging all these episodes, i love seeing your kitchens (and cooking skills) evolve over the years!

[@riograndelily8344]

Love your parents. They are precious. Binging on your videos.

[@craigthomas5419]

Tosi's book All About Cake is easy to follow and the recipes genious. I bought my wife the Birthday cake GF from Milk in LA. Then made my son a GF Mint Cookies and Cream. Both awesome and I'm a rookie baker. Good video.

[@dacutestdimples]

I just finished this today for my birthday tomorrow! Without a cake ring, forgetting to out crumbs on the first layer, and also used a granny mixer 🤣 Arm fatigue is real.. 4 minutes is FOREVER. Also for a free formed acetate ring it's not looking bad. My acetate was only 4" tall so I used two pieces taped together. 🤷🏾‍♀️🥳🥳 My advice to anyone trying: Get a cake ring. That first layer was wooorrrkk without it 🥴

[@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW]

Killed it!! Looks fantastic. Psyched to see these goodies.

[@antichef]

Thanks dude! Sitting, waiting, wishing for those goodies to arrive...

[@akastardust]

@@antichef Did you ever get the goods or goodies? Am I 5-years too late to even ask?

[@lerato910]

Just shared this with all 47 of my twitter followers. Here’s to you going places, Jamie 🍻

[@antichef]

Can always count on you for some solid words! Keeps me going! Maybe those 47 followers will be the spark. Go back to work, Jamie

[@lerato910]

😂❤️

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

Wow!! Beautiful cake you made for your dad's birthday! It was lovely to see their reaction to the cake as well.

[@magelinekelley7536]

I love this episode! So sweet of you to bake a beautiful cake for your dad!

[@KorraTransPhoenix]

This episode is so heartwarming! I really needed this pick-me-up! Thank you! And it really shows how much talent you have for baking! 🧡

[@izziebelletorres9834]

Success 🎊🎉🎁🎂 Nice to see your family!!! Happy birthday to your dad. And keep the videos coming 👍🏼

[@antichef]

Best. Bday. Cake. Ever. Lots more coming!

[@izziebelletorres9834]

Yummmm! Thanks Jamie.

[@mrtodd3620]

That was pretty incredible. Even I haven't made this yet. Amazon would be a good place to buy hard to find ingredients. A piping bag would facilitate getting the frosting into place. I think that one interesting aspect of this cake is its size, being not very wide, but very tall.

[@antichef]

You gotta try it, Todd! Atleast once. Amazon is exactly where I picked up the cake ring! Maybe I need to resort to there for other ingredients. Oh no....not piping bags...they terrify me

[@mrtodd3620]

When most people think of piping bags, they have in mind the thick canvas reusable kind. You should just get some disposable plastic ones, Wilton is a common brand, on Amazon and at Walmart. You actually don't even need to use a tip; for this birthday cake, you just fill the bag, twist the top a bit so it doesn't come out there, cut off a bit of the other end, and then gently squeeze. Bags are nice for reaching into tight spaces, even when filling cupcake tins. For other projects (like frosting), you can graduate to some tips. Tips have a genius effect on the baker. You can do the simplest one, and everyone will think you are a genius.

[@antichef]

Interesting, I’ve had some trouble with them in the past. Maybe a recipe coming up with call for them again

[@sheiladement8243]

I can’t wait to try this. It seemed daunting but watching this helped calm the fear. Thank you!!!

[@antichef]

I’m glad I could help! I recommend you give it a shot! It was sooooo good

[@maritesbalili1979]

hi watching from PHILIPPINES thank u for this video

[@simonjones845]

Just made this for my sisters birthday, and this video was really helpful! Thanks!

[@GUIGU32]

I loved you did this for your dad. 😭...I got emotional.....don’t know why....!!

[@antichef]

It was a successful mission. He loved the caked! (Is what he told me)

[@noelr2992]

Great job! I’ve been thinking of trying this out but it’s a bit intimidating. You just inspired me to try! Keep the videos coming!

[@antichef]

Love hearing that Noel! Give it a shot, it ain’t so scary. Let me know how it goes!!

[@lovher]

Omg haven’t even watched the full clip yet and I love it thanks so much

Your Mum is the cutest! Great vid. Def deserve more subscribers.

[@antichef]

I’ve relayed the message and she’s flattered. 😂 Thank you!!

[@brookecannon5817]

your mom is gorgeous 😍 don't mind me. just binging more of your videos.

[@antichef]

Love it!!

[@melsyoutube]

your mom’s reaction to the cake 🥺🥺🥺💕

[@gerij777]

Where did you get the cake ring for $1? Also, where to get the acetate?

[@Katherine-xm1nx]

Ahahaha....no candles?! Love it! If you ever run out of your citric acid, I have a boat load!! I bought in bulk because there is so much you can diy with citric acid...always buy the good stuff though!! Great video!

[@shonashow1158]

This was amazing!! How does it not have more views. I'm using this recipe for my sisters birthday

[@antichef]

Thanks Shona!!! She will love it!!

[@susuhabibi]

i tried making this cake but the birthday crumbs came out so hard (like biscuits)? :( i tried again and baked them for less time, but same result. what am i doing wrong

[@redenellerobles5335]

Hahaha wow!! She messaged you!!👏👏👏 thanks for sharing your videos!! Love it

[@antichef]

[@sarahelmiraroystershelton1888]

Your editing is great!

[@antichef]

Thank youuuuuu!! 🙌🏼

[@robint192]

Awesome job! All your work was truly appreciated! So delish!!

[@ravenharvill9001]

Where the heck did you find a cake ring for a dollar?!

[@cocobrowny]

The thing I’ve never understood is whether the cake is meant to be eaten frozen/semi-frozen or if that is simply the ‘setting’ stage. The Bon Appétit video shows Christina freezing it for 3hrs then cutting and eating straight away...?

[@antichef]

Freeze to set into place, then when ready to eat you take it out and let it sit room temp for like 5 hours. Then it’s golden!

[@cocobrowny]

ANTI-CHEF Thank you 😊 🙏🏽

[@ameliaetienne8521]

Your mom is so lovely

[@antichef]

She is!

[@aimeewynhausen9924]

woo hoo!! Look at you! I've wanted to try that but have been overwhelmed - you're convincing me to spread my wings!

[@donnamclaren952]

Please Jamie make Salt & Pepper Butter Cookie, Corn Cookie, Cornflake Marshmallow Cookie, Best Freaking Cookie.

[@antichef]

Adding to the list!!

[@andreacuesta5977]

Does anyone remember the video that CT made with Allison from bon appetit? She also gave a few more tips but, I think they deleted it. I think she suggested using European butter and some other stuff

[@brookeburnsb7620]

I'm addicted to your channel.

[@karatefella]

I made this cake for my Birthday last year ! It was delicious ! Did you ever get any goodies ?

[@MattBraynardChannel]

I guess this is old but for anyone watching this now: Keep the acetate on until service time.

[@WisKrisKar]

Your mom is beautiful!!

[@nayelimo14]

Okay wait..... this is the best video I have ever watched!!! 10/10 🎉💗

[@antichef]

☺

[@1978puertogirl]

Amazing.❤❤❤

[@Alicioussness]

First video I've watched from this channel. This is "Bro" baking at its finest! 😂

[@StanWatt.]

Ace job, my birthday's in May! ;)

[@laurenhorner6963]

Every time I try to make this, it turns to soup at the buttermilk/oil step. I even time it for 3 minutes like it says in the book & stream them in super slowly. What am I doing wrong? It’s yellow & thin liquid instead of white & fluffy.

[@HaravGaon]

Good Job. Where could the cake rings be purchased for $1 and what size pan did you use?

[@antichef]

You can find super cheap ones ones on Amazon! (Or a dollar store) 13x9 baking dish

[@HaravGaon]

@@antichef WOW on the quick response!!

[@c.w.1574]

Have you got the goodies yet? I am so curious about it. Anyway, I’m gonna start with buying CT’s books first cause this looks delicious!!!

[@antichef]

They never came. Haha. I gave up

[@partidovargasmonicaberenic2289]

First time watching one of your videos. I love you already

[@karatefella]

I will be making this for my Birthday this year ! (July 21) I will be 60 ! UPDATE - I made it and it was delicious !

[@sarahelmiraroystershelton1888]

You should do a series with DEPRESSION-ERA desserts, WAR CAKE, TOMATO CAKE, SOTHERN HOE CAKE, SPOILED MILK CAKE, CRAZY CHOCOLATE CAKE without butter, milk, or eggs, NAVY BEAN PIE, COCA-COLA CAKE, POUNDING CHOMEUR, MAYONNAISE CAKE, SUGAR CREAM PIE, POTATO CANDY, VINEGAR PIE.

[@antichef]

Love this idea! I’ll definitely try one of these

[@darleneespiritusanto5533]

What is shortening and how can I replace it in this recipe?

[@lexo420]

Super cute!!!

[@bomdoughnuts800]

What brand of sprinkles did you use?

[@pinkychang]

HAHAHAH LOVED THE ACID CITRIC rants! :D That's exactly how i feel when I needed to use something but in a small quantity and yet its difficult to find. :) I have always wanted to try this. I wondered if I can omit the acid citric? :) Great video and I wondered if your dad loves the birthday cake? :D

[@antichef]

What’s funny is that I ended adding too much citric acid in the end. I wanted to get my money’s worth and I could really taste it in the end. The thing I’ve found with these Milk Bar recipes is that I can get away with not adding certain ingredients and I’ll never tell the difference. There’s so much of this and that added in these cakes, if you’re struggling with some of those difficult to find ingredients, maybe there is an easier substitute you can use. Obviously, that’s doesn’t go for all ingredients, but definitely some of those out there

[@OO_sunflower_OO]

Oh sorry am I a toddler? Why was I so mesmerized by the intro omg

[@ravenharvill9001]

What size cake pan did you use?

[@THISISINALLCAPS]

Christina and Jamie? I ship it.

Could you also make the jimbo cake please!!!!

[@antichef]

holy cow! I just looked it up... I'll definitely be making this

[@indrajachacko5914]

ANTI-CHEF thank you so much for responding!! Really appreciate it. I'm trying to make the jimbo cake for my best half Iam confused about substituting glucose, corn powder and feuillitine as they are not easy to find.

[@antichef]

I ordered the freeze dried corn for the corn powder on amazon that solved that. I also couldn’t find corn syrup so I have used glucose syrup or vice versa. I honestly think a recipe with this much going on, you would never know the difference!

[@indrajachacko5914]

I ended up making that cake!! It was just uhhhmaaaazzzinngg!!!! I wish I could show you the end result!! My husband was on cloud 9!!! Thanks to your enthusiasm that helped me make it! Moreover to the queen of cakes Mrs Christina tooo

[@antichef]

So awesome to hear! If you posted it to Instagram you can tag me in it! The cake is a ton of work, but well worth it!

[@igglewiggle6649]

Love your video! Cakes r like three year old indulgent attention grabbing sticky kiddies! My favorite CT recipe I have made the funfetti birthday cake many times I recently made individual cakes using ,,I want to say 3 inch Diameter rings for a bake sale and fetched $8 PER cake I wish I could send a pic of my cake sale cakes they were the jewels of the sale keep the videos coming I need inspiration to expand my CT repetoire

What size acetate should I get?

I usually go to some art store and pick up a couple 8.5x11” acetate sheets and then tape them together and cut them to fit my cake ring

[@lyinsroar9637]

citric acid: i'm pretty sure that's just baking soda??? kawaiisweetworld never mentions citric acid in her vid, she just uses baking soda ._.

[@antichef]

Hey hey! I used the recipe off the milk bar website: milkbarstore.com/recipes/birthday-cake/ I went on a wild goose chase searching for that citric acid too 😭

[@gerardacronin334]

Citric acid and baking soda are two very different chemicals! One is an acid and the other is a base. Citric acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula HOC(CO2H)(CH2CO2H)2. When dissolved in water, it’s pH is about 3.2. Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is an alkali (or base) with the chemical formula NaHCO3. When dissolved in water, it has a pH of about 8.3.

[@maartinee]
