Hey Guys, this is James. Just thought I should clarify; Joshua totally knew who was on his shirt! He loves the Great British Bake Off. That was just a dumb joke! lol

[@nospigenilasor]

Man About Cake this is the only reason I've come into the comments. Thank goodness for the clarity.

[@legaleye9923]

Oh ok!!!

[@cyrenanorris5397]

I figured he knew, but it threw me off for a sec. I was in shock like, "Joshua John Russell doesn't know who Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are?!"

[@melaniemount1529]

You should make a rock candy cake

[@Stardust_4300]

I never thought you were serious and was quite surprised at the ones that did 😂😂😂😂😂. #LightenUpButtercup 😂😂🤗

[@blahblahblah_co]

I love how he doesn’t cut out the talking of the people behind because they are sooo funny 😆

[@antoniorajoomar1016]

Great job 👍

[@melissasim8010]

I just realised that he was wearing a Great British Bake Off T-shirt with Mary and Paul. Lol Edit: And I just realised that James already commented on that....

[@celticsinger7463]

I am a pastry chef myself and in watching cake decorating videos for inspiration I stumbled across your channel for the very first time the other day... You are REDICULOUSLY entertaining and very talented! A new "favie" channel for me!!! lol

[@LexieLife2000]

The fact they don’t know who Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood are (or what The Great British Bake Off is) makes my English soul shiver. (By the way, they are what is on his jumper)

[@nicomacdougall365]

Alex Martin Iove that show!! And I'm from America.

[@tammydee9700]

Love that show! I'm sure he was joking tho. I hope....lol

[@ceryspower8672]

Itz ok Alex Martin, Ik who dey r! (Even if I don't like in England anymore)

[@natrobinson3591]

They're like the UK's Royals of baking and patisserie!!!

[@ChronicCraftyLife]

Alex Martin I'm American and I was in shock!

[@meetthemenagerie]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how perfect that freehand piped tier was? By far my favorite part of the cake.

[@alanakirk4886]

Omg...as a baker, I am absolutely in love with his cake as well as his sweater. Mary Berry is such a queen ✨

[@bethanner772]

Love the Hollywood-Berry T-shirt! As Mary Berry would say, "It looks Scrummy!".

[@BariFunny]

Josh doesn't watch The Great British Baking Show?!?! I live for Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood!

[@Jord032]

BariFunny I’m so glad he pinned this. I couldn’t tell if he was joking. My wife and I were yelling. 😂

[@cheyennestephens7975]

IKR LIKE EXCUSE ME😂

[@marisolmacias5118]

I was just gonna say that! Hahaha

[@ClashxCityxRocker]

I came to the comments to hopefully find out if he was joking or not

[@eeyore3376]

BariFunny yessss.....i love that show and I was thinking it was them too

[@JoJo-bm5rx]

JJR!!! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO PAUL HOLLYWOOD AND MARY BERRY are. So many sad faces. But you're cute and I love this show so I will forgive you this one transgression. Great British Bake Off is a British reality tv institution and both Mary and Paul are British baking royalty.

[@aliciacassio4215]

Seriously. I recognized and loved it immediately!!!

[@SashleyStevens]

Honestly I think they do know who they are, they're just being goobers 😆

[@christyjupe4193]

How could he not know who they are? 😂😂

[@fayhartman21]

preach

[@ManAboutCake]

Missy JoJo it was a joke!! I love that show!!

[@greeneprosperity4804]

Literally melted my heart watching you make this. Why?! Cause I love cake making and you do it with such an undying passion which I have longed for, for years. Absolutely superb!

[@amwright63]

Incredibly BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@richardvanderlinden5296]

Those people on his shirt are mary berry and paul hollywood. Both british cookery presenters and (former) judges of the tv-show Great British bake off.

[@spaiges]

yeah, he knows. it's what we call a "joke"

[@mygirldarby]

Richard Van der linden Well duh. Why would he be wearing that shirt if he didn't know who they are? People can be so crazy sometimes.

[@samahfatima6080]

I feel betrayed with that styrofoam in the middle 😂😂😂😂

[@MilahMeia]

samah fatima me too

[@sarahr.3241]

[@Sweetthang9]

Most extremely lavish cakes you see have false or artificial elements like foam or scaffolding. Its part of the illusion and sometimes necessary to fulfill a bride's (and groom's) vision. I've made cakes for intimate 100 head weddings where the bride insisted on an impactful cake. If the entire thing was made of cake, it would have served three times that much and so much would have gone to waste. With foam, you can have impact, with minimal weight or waste. Best of both worlds.

[@rduran3294]

PatisserieBoy yes, but I had to cut and serve one of these cakes. It was years before the internet, and so I went to the library to see how they were created and so how to cut and serve a tiered wedding cake. I had no idea there were parts not made of cake, but of Styrofoam and dowels and had to be cut around those so it wouldn't collapse. As it turned out, the baker used both Styrofoam, dowels, and cardboard! It was a beautiful cake, but work to cut and I was glad I researched it.

[@GothicaBeauty]

PatisserieBoy its also for in structural strength because if it was all cake it would’ve unstable.

[@SofaraStarfyre]

😍🤩😍🤩 Gorgeous!! Totally Royal wedding worthy!

[@emiliaobot8569]

Man About Cake,this was an elegant royal wedding cake I ever saw. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@YourSmileIsYourStyle]

this cake is sooo EXTRA

[@abigailmazzuca809]

you are so right

[@samayyye7037]

LittleHappyBeing I love it

[@meowmaster6723]

LittleHappyBeing that’s why it’s a wedding cake

[@kay9973]

LittleHappyBeing and are you gay

[@sasukecoochieha]

Beautiful though

[@alisonscurr4395]

Hi from Liverpool UK. I adore your cakes, you and the team. Please tell me your joshing about your t-shirt. That in Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry. Both well known bakers in the UK and hosted (Paul still does) The Great British Bake Off. Michael Caine is really good but Branden, your English accent is hilarious. I think Joshua should really make a Frank The Tank cake on the show. You all brighten up my Tuesday mornings. Keep up the great work.

[@seraphimseptimus6984]

Nice pun

[@elenamonette8118]

this is so gorgeous

[@Sara-qq4th]

This cake is soooooooooooo pretty

[@camilleaigail902]

"I'm Michael Caine....Michael Caine....Michael Caine............Michael Caine." :-D

[@Cristoferurlaub]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qImTd2ahjpiorrc

[@camilleaigail902]

Haha!!! I love it!! Thanks for sharing that! :-)

[@gloriadutiyabodhi1224]

I thought he said "my cocaine" 😂

[@camilleaigail902]

Haha!!! Love it!! Yep, I can see how you could hear that! LOL

[@sunnylee170]

Hey this royal wedding cake is ten times better than that weird rustic lemon curd cake....They should ask you to make the cake.

[@isoldehammond23]

Yeah, I agree, it’s too over the top to be a royal cake, british royalty since the 1900’s went more understated (there are exceptions) But yeah this is more garish for Middle Eastern or American weddings (probably tastes nice though)

[@frizziebubblech5504]

HIS SHIRT!!!! I LOVE IT

[@judithb6623]

I always like the drape-y look before you tighten the fondant around the cake. Especially here it could have been used like a Cape or Drapery. can you do one that mimics fabrics and flows?

[@wickandde]

Hey Joshua! I hope you see this! (Please like so he will see this) Can you please, please make an early 90s late 80's wedding cake complete with a completely over the top pastel coloured (heavy on the pink) frilly icing and romantic ivy twined staircases and birdcages lol (all made of icing)? Pleeeaseeee I'm obsessed with the 90! Everything is so beautifully detailed, so over the top and kind of ugly but weirdly mesmerizing! Hehee Would be so cool to see! Thanks in advance! xx

[@allyoop7046]

wickandde I liked so he would see this can u be my first liker?

[@allyoop7046]

wickandde Thank u so much for like ing my reply

[@OffTheCreamyCrack]

I love how he completed your request! That cake was nice!

[@BishoujoMegami]

Do you mean a Lambeth style wedding cake? And did he do this one cos I'd love to see it too! 😍

[@Miidi8787]

Why not pass the almond filling through the sieve before mixing it with the butter?

[@galli0]

Miidi8787 super sticky probably

[@sienaquerulous]

that's what I thought as well

[@scatter-the-stars]

Miidi8787 it seems like he didn't expect the almond filling to still have those big pieces once incorporated with the butter

[@redbonehaitian]

Hege Valle it still would be less time and work out to sieve the little bit of sticky verse a whole batch of frosting.

[@blaarrosir7385]

Miidi8787 That's a good idea!

[@hainnelim9191]

This cake was incredible!! You are amazing at baking and I wish I could be great at decorating cakes like you!

[@likeOMFGitsJONNY]

This cake is stunning! Definitely one of my favorites of yours. 👍🏼

[@toastedgarlicofficial]

Man Behind Cake NEEDS to happen. I want the guys to make a cake so badly and mess it ip and have Joshua just face palming on the side

[@andtuf]

It would be so cool if you and Yolanda Gamp (from How to Cake It) did one of those old school KZbin collabs where you picked a theme and made a cake based on the theme. Since you guys have pretty different styles when approaching baking it could be pretty sweet! (Pun fully intended.)

[@sadhbhryan8830]

andtuf I was thinking the same thing it would be so cool

[@nadeempervez7262]

Yes please do it

[@inthelightofk4670]

that fruit cake looks so good. such a staple in the carribbean// next to the actual BLACK RUM cake.

[@tcconnection]

Love the flowers and gold parts

[@mishieeeeeeeee]

I was waiting for you to use the royal icing because you're making a royal wedding cake hahaha

[@HannahSpannahCB1]

I can’t believe that you dissed English fruit cake! You soak the fruit for literally months before hand and then you feed the cake with brandy for months after making it! It’s delicious!!

[@awildmoonstar8225]

I love the conversation during this whole video 🤣 it makes you want to carry on watching.

[@LM-ec8nf]

Gay or Straight?? (So cute...😉😙)

[@SuperJosiegirl1]

Who would ever dislike any of Josh's videos!? They are all so amazing! You're very talented Josh!❤

[@joumana1275]

Totally not a JJR cake till the gold comes out. Love it love it love it! Can't get enough of this show, so real! :) keep it up guys

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

I can only imagine the amount of work it would take to actually make the royal wedding cake.

[@nix4127]

Ohmygosh great british bake off is the best!!!!!!

[@MrSurfferchik]

Wow! Just wow!

[@auntiescakery]

LOVE the piping! of Course, it is my specialty. So classic, and royal. Great job as always!

[@kartermeijer6813]

Every time I see the notification is start shouting and giggling. I love this so much.

[@Ilcka]

lol

[@brendsmitchell7294]

I absolutely love watching you! You are a master of art and I adore your energy. Thank you.

[@sydneyschottman3218]

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT. You deserve a handshake.

[@kathryndrew9985]

My only question is, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL OF THE CAKE??? I'm so curious because you make all of these ENORMOUS and beautiful cakes, but the four of you can't possibly eat all of that cake, can you? Do you give it away to friends and family? Donate it? (I don't know how you would donate a cake like that) Sell it? I'm absolutely dying to know.

[@MilfLvr420]

Kathryn Drew I mean if he were to donate them: I volunteer at a homeless shelter and they take cake donations for the people :)

[@sarahdavies5564]

tracy martel fan?

[@isawthesign4421]

I think they take them to their office

[@taylor5248]

Yes watch the blueprint video

[@HanniaRey16]

Kathryn Drew They do eat some, and they make cake pops out of it too.

[@alexcatt1336]

phahahahahahahahhaha thats hilarious!! im from london, and im dying that you thought mary berry was the queen and paul hollywood was the most interesting man! mary berry is the queen of bakery soooo, love the GBBO!! also find it so strange how other countries get so excited for our royal weddings!

[@alisonscurr4395]

Well I guess American's are excited about the royal wedding as he is marrying an American.

[@alexcatt1336]

Alison Scurr i understand that and i think that’s incredible, it’s the new modern royal family!! but like with previous royal weddings, kate and will, it was again such a massive thing! i’m not saying it’s a bad thing that other countries are interested, i think it’s amazing that other countries get excited to watch our future kings and queens marry!

[@mindydevine5814]

Can you blame us? The closest thing to royalty we have here are Trump or the Kardashians... And well, that's not royalty at all. It's quite the opposite & makes us all look like uneducated bigots. So we kind of cling to our English roots for what little bit of class we have left lol.

[@cierrarouse9036]

I have personally never been interested in the royal family or their weddings (heck, in America we aren't raised at all with the concept of royalty, we're far more invested in our government/elections), but he is marrying an American... so it's only right to be excited. It will be one of the biggest ironic moments in history lol I never would've thought that an English royal would marry an American... the two countries that fought against each other. We are allies now, but it's still pretty funny. I hope the two of them the best.

[@alexcatt1336]

Mindy Devine pahahahahhaha i don’t blame you at all when you have trump as your president😂😂 i love our royal weddings, i think they’re incredible! i hope you enjoy the wedding whether you’re watching it from!!👑

[@jilllopate4029]

Oh my goodness, but this cake is beautiful!

[@likeacatlick5799]

This is one of my favorite episodes, y'all are hilarious!

[@ranyaatalla4022]

Tbh before I knew your channel I used to make normal betty Crocker’s cake an just served it like it is but after I saw you videos I made a lot of cakes with fondant and i made my own birthday cake and it tased so good so I just want to thank you for teaching me how to make amazing things, and your so funny and amazing so don’t stop pleas and good luck ♥️♥️☺️

[@shannonmcclintock8936]

And also fruit cakes can be amazing just like any cake . They are filled and soaked with brandy and are so yum

[@justinefolk1309]

Love the Paul and Mary sweater. So awesome.

[@blondblahness]

The fact that JRR doesnt know or watch The Great British Bake Off is the final proof I needed to know that he's actually straight.

[@dim9753]

blondblahness lol i don't think he is. Check his insta.

[@Brewer8481]

He is gay

[@spaiges]

he definitely knows who they are. it's a joke.

[@urbabyboi06]

blondblahness that makes me sad. He’s my husband even if he doesn’t know it lol

[@Velo-vl3qj]

he knows and he isn't :) I don't know if he's gay but he's not straight and I believe he has a boyfriend

[@hebamadi265]

Truly beautifull it's a piece of art I wouldn't dare to cut it or take a bite and ruin it😭😭😭👏👏it's so well done

[@blueberrys7165]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@tattoobraincells]

I love your cakes and your friends jokes as well!!!!hahahahaha

[@jamesquebec6194]

Best wedding cake ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lizeteavila8971]

Why didn’t you run only the almond paste through the sieve? Wouldn’t it have been quicker ? Before adding to the butter? Or was there a reason for that?

[@dudessjoddie]

The reason is, he’s human 😉

[@tiggrk8]

That fruit cake you made reminds me of a recipe from the 18th century. Fortunately we have leavening agents and electric mixers so you don't have to whip egg whites for an hour by hand. 😜

[@tiggrk8]

Ainsley Illium aren't we fortunate to live in a time where we have ready access to electric power, and devices that save us a lot of elbow grease?

[@Follow2thedark]

I'm loving the Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood shirt!!

[@rachelpadilla3580]

Omg! Ur Paul and Mary shirt! Yaaaaaasssssss!

[@blitzish]

The people on your shirt are the host a tv show called "The great British bake off " 😊 i think

[@tzisorey]

I've never seen someone pass cake filling through a sieve before. Is it just for the almond chunks? Because if it was, wouldn't it have been easier to just run the almond paste through the sieve before adding it?

[@VampyricDeth]

Tzisorey Tigerwuf or to pulse it in a food processor before hand. That was something that confused me. And it looked too tedious.

[@shades3912]

Tzisorey Tigerwuf the pasties super sticky so the butter lets you be able to sieve it ^.^

[@f3rzz476]

Should just have left it inside the cake

[@hollyschultz3660]

AH! Love the shirt! Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry!

[@stormihigdon2459]
