Anyone seen a Paul in here, i commented on his comment a while ago regarding his Crippling addiction to your god forsaken Cookies. Recently i haven't heard from him or seen any more comments. Jemma i think you've killed this man.

[@Molly-lt8ue]

Ok sooo many questions for you guys no. 1 Are your ovens fan forced? no. 2 What type of blow torch do you use, and where did you buy it? no. 3 I do a lot of charity bake sales are you guys ok with me selling baked treats made with your recipes?

Ooh this is a good idea! How many did the mixture make?

@@emilygentry5603 I made 1/4 of the mixture and it made 12 regular sized cupcakes 🤓

[@aidanreyes8789]

Beautiful Cake! I love pumpkin cake!

[@davidhensley76]

The uglier the pumpkin the better it tastes. The perfectly-shaped, perfectly-orange ones don't usually have much flavor. If you ever get your hands on a candy roaster variety you'll have a good pumpkin.

[@vintage25]

Thanks david

[@bensuperdetka]

I made this cake shortly after the recipe came out - my mind was blown. The sponge was so light, fluffy and moist! And there’s zero effort whatsoever, just mixing everything in one bowl, which makes even better. For the frosting I made a mix of pastry cream, pumpkin purée, cream cheese and butter - yum

[@WhippedFood]

The little pumpkins are adorable!

I’ve already made this and it turned out AMAZING, I did a dairy free marshmallow smb instead, I only had Demerara sugar so I mixed 75% Demerara sugar and 25% granulated sugar for the light brown sugar and it turned out perfect! I had to stop myself from eating it all 🤤

Beautiful Sally ♥

[@Karras353]

This really is amazing. I just had a go at it today. Unfortunately I ruined one layer so it became a still quite substantial 3 layer cake (and it already made a few cupcakes as well, as my tins are a touch smaller). I leaned more into the Halloween theme and made the pumpkins as a yellow inner and orange outer, so I could cut faces in them and reveal the yellow as if they are lit. My sculpting needs work but I’m really pleased with the result. Also did a few grave stones.

[@j0my77]

Cake looks great, I will probably halve the recipe to just make a 2 layer cake instead, to make it a bit more manageable for myself. It would be perfect to make the full recipe for a sharing cake :)

[@casiatree4834]

This looks delicious. Can we get a cupcake version of this?

[@c_a_r_a1282]

Am i the only one who likes a video before actually watching it 😅

[@Simplycomfortfood]

So nice to see you Sally doing a video. Such a festive looking cake. Could you bake this in a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper. I would love to use a 3" or 4" round metal rings and cut out small rounds and make individual mini two layer cakes. Would I need to double the recipe.

[@_old_man_]

Y'all should make some pumpkin spice or other autmny NYC cookies!!!

[@_old_man_]

Yup I'm 100000000% making this but I'll put extra caramel and pie crust in the layers because why not

[@CupcakeJemma]

Caramel & pie crumb, in between each layer would be SO good! It will slide around a fair bit with caramel in the middle so you might want to pop the cake in the fridge before giving it a crumb coat 😊

[@canfieldhandcraftedsoaps]

Oooh, that cinnamon icing!! I've never thought of that before but it sounds sooooo good... I did have a question about the self raising flour - do you know if it's got salt in it? Here in the states you can buy it of course, but if you have tons of flour and want to make your own there are recipes with and without salt. Last quick note for my fellow pumpkin spice obsessed people, I wouldn't be tempted to substitute the spices in this cake for straight PS. Your cake will just taste like pumpkin pie and it's not the same kind of yummy. Just my two cents! ❤️

[@suebosworth6510]

Will definitely be making the cake, can I make it into 2 taller cake tins as I don’t have 4shallower tins, if so what temperature & timing would you recommend x

[@Honeycat721]

Wow!!!! I'm going to try this! Could you use cinnamon buttercream instead of cream cheese?

[@_MSD75_]

I'd love to know what you do with the rest of these big cakes once you've cut it? Do the staff eat it or do you sell it by the slice in the shop?

[@oliviagriffin7303]

Wow this looks soo good!! Can i half or third the recipe? I want to try it but I can’t eat the whole cake by myself lol

[@christinemoore7704]

Thanks for sharing Sally would you half this recipe for cupcakes? I love Jane recipes she is as easy to watch as the crumbs and dollies team thanks guys ❤

[@CupcakeJemma]

Hey Christine, you could totally halve the quantity the quantities!

[@lynnbarendsen3648]

1) YUM! 2) Definitely making this soon, tks! 3) Can't wait for my C & D Cookbook and 4) Unsalted butter for the icing, correct? Assuming because you're adding a bit of salt you're starting with unsalted? I think (!?) I've always used unsalted for your buttercream icings but honestly can't remember, and just wanted to doublecheck. TIA!

[@valentinavaz9369]

Cake looks so yummy.....how can v make a smaller version of this?

[@rowan6992]

This looks incred!! Is it 390g of both sugars of 390 as a mixture of the two?

[@tallayrop7054]

I would really love to know the type of oven you use. I'm a home baker and I draw so much inspiration from your bakes. I would love to have a successful bakery just as yours one day

[@debbyfields3171]

Can you whisk the batter with a mixer instead of by hand?

[@BrownSugarByNE]

I wish i could join your bakery and get a chance to learn from you at your bakery🥺

[@tammiemartinez6485]

I've been waiting patiently for this Sally. I already purchased my cans of pumpkin earlier in the week, lol. I just have one question. Can you please give me a couple of options for a frosting that would compliment the cake? I LOVE cream cheese frosting but my husband doesn't (how dare he, I know, lol). Not only does this look delicious it also looks easy to put together. Job well done... 👏

[@CupcakeJemma]

Thank you so much Tammie! You could use an Italian meringue in this cake - that would be delicious (torched too 😍👌🏼), regular vanilla buttercream with a hint of cinnamon in there would be fantastic too!

Could you substitute the pumpkin puree for applesauce? I think that would also be a really nice flavor combo!

You could try (apple sauce is quite sweet so bare that in mind) - we've not done this so can't confirm if it would work!

@@CupcakeJemma I might try, and reduce the amount of sugar as well. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out 😍
