You may not remember, I’ve commented a few times. Your no churn ice cream recipe started my son on creating an ice cream business years ago as a boy. Your (and others’) baking videos have inspired him and helped him narrow his life focus to owning a bakery one day. He’s currently at Art Institute of Dallas in the baking and pastry program. The irony is that these past couple of weeks we’ve been discussing his desire to create a croquembouche… and suddenly, here’s your video about it! Coincidence? Maybe. Lol. I just want you to know that you’re making a big impact. We started watching you when you first came to RUclips years ago and he was a little boy. Now he’s a real baker in the making. Thank you ❤
Thank you for sharing this. It reminds me why we started Bigger Bolder Baking years ago. We really just wanted bakers to gain confidence by making the process easier for bakers to follow. I celebrate each success that bakers share, and hope that it inspires others to make their own baking success story. I wish your son all the best in his endeavors. Happy Holidays to you!
Wowww that’s amazing I also started baking after watching Gemma’s recipe of scones and whatever I’ve made everyone like wowww this is so good Thanks gem and happy holidays ❤
Can we just appreciate Gemma’s hard work? She even replies to all her comments. She is so sweet and polite. Unlike a lot of other RUclipsrs. Love her.❤❤❤
You are very welcome and also a thank you to you Gemma for all your wonderful recipes and your lovely personality. Along with Kevin and George this has been a nice experience and let's not forget the adorable Waffles. ❤
Until this video, I had no idea how my late friend made her delicious cream puffs. I think I know now. But she stopped before the caramel part. She's been gone quite a while, but watching this, I could still taste them.
@@biggerbolderbaking she lived a good life. Shecwas a WWII vet and would be in her 90s or above if she was still around in body. Her spirit is still around in all the good memories. Thank you.
Very nice recipie Gemma! They looks amazing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🤩🤩🎄☃️❄️
Merry Christmas to you, your family and team! An amazing year it’s been, hopefully 2024 is bigger and better for us all! You croquembouche looks impressive!
Thank you Gemma for the beautiful demonstration of; the Croquembouche I shall definitely try this in the New Year. Best Wishes to you and your team for 2023
Wow this video was amazing thank you for you're beautiful way of demonstration you are really a fantastic brilliant teacher and congratulations on another cook book
Could you please create some diabetic friendly recipes? I absolutely LOVE your channel! My son was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and for the first time I've had to reconsider having a cake for Christmas. It's Christmas! It's a birthday celebration and now no cake? Help! Thank you so much.
I can’t promise, but I do feature some from time to time, whenever possible. I only put out recipes that I’ve tried and tested . I have invited some chefs who are more experienced in coming up with recipes that are considered healthier options.
@@biggerbolderbaking thank you. It's a whole new world for us. Reading labels, trying to figure out if this product will work for what we need. Type 1.5 presents as a one but insulin resistant like a 2. I LOVE BAKING! Nothing says love and welcome home like something fresh baked. Could you please point me to chef's with healthier options. One day my son was fine, 6 months ago not even a prediabetic, then one day he was extremely thirsty, drinking gallon's of water a day, lost 35 pounds in a month, he had been in ketoacidosis for two months... it's a miracle he's here. No matter what age they are you still try to take the best care of them no matter how old they are. Thank you for responding. I knew it might be a long shot. I don't even know if there's a healthier sugar option that will caramelize? If only I didn't LOVE baking so much!!! 😭
I'm American and I never tried this sort of dessert before, unfortunately. It looks so delicious. I'll bet the croquembouche is almost like a tower of creme brulee donuts drizzled with caramel.
Love your recipes. I would love to have the recipes in grams for specific weights to be more precise. Also internal finished cooking temperatures would avoid over cooking and would be brilliant
@@biggerbolderbaking it took nearly all day, but my croquembouche turned out beautifully! I’m not sure how to insert a picture or I would certainly include it! Your step by step instructions were fantastic! I do have one question… how does one serve it? Once the caramel hardened, I couldn’t pull the pieces apart.
Great as usual. Please I’m fascinated with that tap thing on the wall above your stove. When you showed us yr kitchen it wasn’t mentioned. I’ve just got to ask, never seen anything like it. Many blessings this Christmas 🎅🌲🎄🥂Sarah
Love your content! Thank you for such great advice. I live in Las Vegas and CAN NOT find a bakery that will make a traditional Russian Honey Cake. Will you please show us how to make that. Another idea is a coffee caramel cake with caramel icing; as I have not been able to find those since my tour in Iraq. If not those then perhaps a simple butter cake. Thank you again for your amazing videos, they are helpful and fresh.
Hi Laura. I don’t have one at the moment, but I do have a Pear and Honey Cake recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/warm-pear-and-honey-cake/ Hope you like it!
Fabulous demonstration... thank you. For next year, would you consider presenting a few recipes that are egg, dairy and gluten free? I know that this is a big ask. I really want to have a few recipes that I can bake for my almost 3 year old grand niece who was born around the same time as your little guy. I hope to be back in Ireland during the summer and I want to spoil her. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Go dte tu slan!
I can’t promise, but I do include recipes that fall under those categories whenever possible. I am not comfortable putting out a recipe that I have not tried and tested to be both easy to make and delicious at the same time. Check my channel from time to time, as I invite chefs who specialize in vegan recipes. Hope this helps.
Gemma plz make red velvet and white choclate chip cookies for christmas its a req n can u plz tell me I am gonna make honny comb today I hav candy thermometer at wt temp I need to add baking soda?
Cant wait to make this soon for me can i use almond milk / vegan butter and more almond milk i never had croquembouche before I got your newsletter and your recipe is on my computer right now perfect for my after office snacks
Hi Ramya. It may be possible for the creme patisserie, but not for the choux pastry. Download the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/easy-croquembouche-recipe/
It so much work but I love to do it! But I find it hard to prepare ahead so you have to do it a few hours before the event. And I’m always worried if the caramel gets too hard and tooth breaking!! How hard is your caramel? I would love to know! 😊❤
Merry Christmas Gemma & A Happy New Year!! Gemma, I feel I want to say so much! But I won't 😂 It has been a wonderful year at BBB! Forgive me for not being as supportive in posting, and joining the Academy! Oh! Loved that, but my Ma has been ill for quite awhile. Gemma , my niece Sevda (8) and I have been wanting to make Croquembouche for several years!! Yours is beautiful! As always, Gemma you give me a feeling I can do it . I'm not just talking about your amazing teaching skills! Thank you!! ❤ Now I will be baking with an 8 yr old who is a wee bit more shall we say opinionated? 🤔 Haha! Ah Gemma, Kevin, George have a wonderful Christmas. 💚❤💚❤🎄🌟🎅🍬 Sorry, I did write long. XXOO
Baby’s breath is toxic to humans and animals. it shouldn’t be put on food as it can cause stomach upset and be a skin irritant to some people. The croquembouche is beautiful without it. Can’t wait to try making one.

Hi Gemma!! Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️
Happy holidays!
Looks stunning. Now I just have to get my hands on a piping bag and give it a go for new years
Go for it!

This is amazing! I might try it for my mom’s birthday!

More keto friendly recipes would be a great help for me as I have no choice but to move towards sugar free n wheat free diet due to health issues.
My best wishes to you and your family ❤ ❤❤❤💕💕💕💋💋💋💋
Happy Holidays!
Bree attempted to make this on Desperate Housewives
I'd love if you bake some indian,arabic,turkish desserts for 2023
I’ll look into it, Nazias. Thank you for watching!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gemma how about making a foolproof Christmas pudding and teach us how to flambe it....
Please, is it possible to see different foods like sushi, miso, rice bowls, and etc?
Dear Gemma, any chance you make a persian saffron and rosewater ice cream with pistachio sometime? would love your take on it 😊
Will see what I can do! Hope you enjoy my other frozen dessert recipes for now: www.biggerbolderbaking.com/frozen-desserts/

Watched this after seeing an episode of masterchef jr and now I want to make it so bad!
Gemma would you walk us thru different croissants:)
I’ll look into it, Joanna. Thanks for watching!
😋
It so much work but I love to do it! But I find it hard to prepare ahead so you have to do it a few hours before the event. And I’m always worried if the caramel gets too hard and tooth breaking!! How hard is your caramel? I would love to know! 😊❤
Spread thinly so that it’s not too hard when it sets. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I did write long. XXOO
Thank you for the kind words, Kelly. I hope you enjoy making this with your niece. Happy Holidays!
Does it maje a difference if you don't have a fan forces oven. I have gas stove not electic
Love that mixer! What brand is it?
Hi Kate. It’s a Wolf Gourmet High Performance Stand Mixer. Thanks for watching!
@@biggerbolderbaking Holy smokes. That's a bit too spendy for my kitchen. Maybe after I suddenly win the lottery.
Can I replace eggs in this recipe?
Baby’s breath is toxic to humans and animals. it shouldn’t be put on food as it can cause stomach upset and be a skin irritant to some people. The croquembouche is beautiful without it. Can’t wait to try making one.
Do you weigh eggs with or without shell?
The weight of eggs in recipes is equivalent to their liquid volume,, hence you can assume the weight does not include the shells. Hope this helps.
Can i make this with choclate if i dont like caramel
Yes, absolutely.
My name is Meharin
more microwave recipes!
I’ll look into it. Thanks for being here.
@@biggerbolderbaking happy holidays to you and your family!
Baby’s breath is toxic and should not be anywhere near food.
@Dutton David sure
I'm thinking gluten free for 2023.
Here cuz I watched the new episode of The Kardashians...had to see what this was all about.
Here because I'm watching Whole cake island arc
I thought baby's breath was supposed to be a toxic plant that shouldn't be ingested or come into contact with food?
just a point: baby's breath is poisonous and should touch the food
