YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!! because of your videos, I am now busy starting a cake business here in South Africa. I am an Accountant, not a chef, but I learn so much and people love it! THANKS so much for these videos!!
Jemma I feel like I've almost mastered buttercream and I've made great cupcakes too! because of watching your frosting techniques and using the grams for the good butter and sugar and milk it's just been amazing and I've been baking for years and I love it but thank you so much!
Just want to say a massive Thankyou Gemma .. I have managed to make a 4 layer sponge cake and iced it with your famous buttercream and finished it off with a choc ganache drip .. it looks amazing and my whole family are shocked to the core .., I couldn’t of done any of it without watching your amazing videos ! Thankyou so much my daughter is going to love her b day cake ... oh and I’ve never made a cake before in my life 😊 x
Hi Jemma, from India. Today I followed your above tutorial to the T, and hey, got an excellent chocolate drip icing onto my devilish chocolate cake!!!!For a first timer it wasn't bad at all. EVERYONE loved it!!! thank you so very much. I am an ardent fan.
Patisserie Boy. I will never understand why the cups measurements are so popular in some countries. It's so much more accurate to work in weight rather than volume. Love your comment!
I seriously love you Jemma, I'm a baker too and besides being inspired by your videos I feel so at home & so good just watching you spread joy in the form of yumminess. Thank you
Hi Jemma ... I learn alot from u .. now I manage to bake my family's birthday and special occasion. All bcoz of u so amazing and talented person. Thank you so much.
hey Jemma, could you do a video about the different kinds of sugar, what to use them for and what they do in a cake or cookie. I'm sometimes a bit confused about the different kinds like dark brown, light brown, demerara, white sugar, etc. greetings and lots of love :) 💕
Hi, Jemma. Can you please please please do a video about how much icing do we need if we're making different sizes of cakes or if we're combining stuff from different recipes. I do this quite often and I never know how much I need 😑. Love your channel and the recipes ❤ xo
Really good request! Usually a regular buttercream batch makes way more for 12 standard cupcakes or even a 2 inch cake. And you cant really save it for quite long or just eat with a spoon like pudding!! Often I find baffled how much to use for a 4 layer cake or a bigger 10 inch cake.
4.bp.blogspot.com/-J39aP6kcR1U/UahRnKjCFiI/AAAAAAAAMZk/LvQm0kzjxZw/s1600/tablica.jpg - Here You can see a table how to calculate the measurements for different sized cakes. On the left is your recipe, on the top is the cake that You are making. It works really good for me.
For anyone who needs the measurements in cups if you buy 8oz a chocolate use 1 cup of heavy cream. As 8oz equals to 1 cups. Hope this helps! Great video this was really helpful and worked well when I tried it! :)
Hi Jemma I’m 10 and I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years now and baked most off them I’ve always loved baking and I’ve alway made cakes for fundraisers my Aunty owns a cake shop in Hertford shire and I asked her what the next level? And she said drip cakes so happy that you have a recipe ! Thsnks
Hello, I love your videos and your way of teaching, I have improved a lot in the creation of my cakes. I have a question in your chocolate drip video do you use cocoabutter can you use edible coconut oil?
This couldn't have come at a better time. I wanted to make a drip cake for my daughter's 4th birthday on Sunday. What frosting are you using on your drip cakes?
Great tutorial as always... just wondering, does it matter what the cake is covered in to begin with? Is it iced with buttercream or ganache before drip? Thanks x
O my Lord everything that could go wrong did go wrong..my ganache was too thick, the top shot off my squeeze bottle mid drip spilling ganache all down the sides..hot humid day in sunny Aus so buttercream softened really quickly.. crappy turntable got stuck, crooked and wobbly (note to self don't scrimp on key baking equipment) but I have learnt lot of repair tricks from you guys so persevered and got a "good enough" first effort to give to my newly wed neighbours as a wedding celebration cake..looked very home baked, but I learnt a lot..thanks Jemma
Yesterday I decided I wanted white chocolate ganache instead of whipped cream to garnish my birthday cake, today I stumble onto your extremely helpful video. So happy right now.
Thank you so much for this! I made a 2 tier Ferrero rocher cake yesterday and attempted a drip but it went terribly, my chocolate drips melted the buttercream, and were way to thick so they didn’t drip they were also pretty lumpy and now I see that I overheated it, I’m trying this today on the cake and hopefully it goes a lot better. Thanks for these tips!
Always remember to check the temperature of your chocolate drip before applying it to the cake. I will be uplaoding a video next week regarding this xx
just used this ganache recipe. was a good starting point but had to add loads more cream to make it runny. Tip for anyone with leftover ganache put it in a mug and add milk microwave until hot add a bit of sugar if u like and you have some yummy homemade hot chocolate. so good. Try it sometime
THANK YOU...getting back into business after many years and never did this before... it's gorgeous and I'm excited to be baking again and have this to use too Today is March 26, 2022
Not really most people read their chocolate a bedtime story before using it in ganache. That's how it got it's name, "ganache" is french for "good night"
I did a white chocolate drip last week with RED gel paste and it completely seized up and I had to throw it out...I never thought of using cocoa butter though!!! Thank you for the tips!!! Great channel!!
First ever attempt at your Madeira recipe and tower cake and drippy cake! Not perfect but it’s my first attempt and I’m no cake maker! My sons happy x thank u for the help x
You are a genius with cakes! What is super white? Not sure if we have that in the Caribbean... I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you Shelley.
Thanks for the video! I've recently gotten into baking and I'm planning on doing a drip cake for my family's Easter get-together. This was SUPER informative and helpful. Many, many thanks!!!
You are brilliant and so good at clearly explaining techniques. Thank you so much. I need to do rose gold drip but have no idea how to make that work. Would appreciate your advice please. Jo from New Zealand
Hey Gemma. Can you please tell us which kind of chocolate do you use for dripping cake? Couverture chocolate or compound chocolate or just random chocolate for baking? Thank you!! Wait for your helpful response!!💓
Hi Jemma, I love they way you help to make the techniques easy to follow . I have friend's daughter that is unable to have sugar (it is quite life threatening and for her 18th birthday her Mum asked if I could make her some macarons, but I have had a quick look for recipes, not really with much luck. Just wondering if you may have come across any? I would really appreciate it, I would just like to bring a little sunshine to her for her birthday, she has had a couple of tough years. Sharon
I am so glad you made a video about this because my daughters birthday is coming up soon so I need to make a cake at home because my daughter's dad is in Pakistan but other why's my daughters dad would take the whole family to think and decide the theme for who evers birthday. Thankyou for this recipe😉👍☺
what an amazing drip i already tried the chocolate and really it was amazing and yummy. i want to try the white chocolate drip but I don't have Cocoa butter, can I use regular butter instead???
Question---not done with video but short term memory....lol. is this cocoa butter like the 100 percent pure cocoa butter stick that I use on my body. 2. Your drips look perfect 3. I'm loving the thorough instructions and tips I've never done this. thx
This was so good Jemma!! Quick question, do you think it’s possible to still get a drip effect if you use just is icing sugar, cocoa powder and water? (I.e make it to the consistency you need, and the put it on?, or will it not work as it wont set as well?)
First time I've done a drip thank you it turned out ok not fantastic by all means but I'm happy with it I had to do a mix though of chocolate I only had milk 35% and dark 70% so did half and half worked ok Thank you
Thank's for making this video, Jemma! It's really helpful. It has explained why I failed using white chocolate for dripping in the first place, 😁✌ bcos I need cocoa butter eventually!
OMG I am super excited to find your channel again! A few years back I happened upon your video of you making chocolate cupcakes. I wrote down the recipe but never subscribed 🤦♀️🤦♀️ not this time! Hit that Subscribe button first thing! 😃👍
Hey Jemma, I'm your big fan, can you please say that for the white chocolate drip can we use cream like you did in the dark chocolate part?? Please help..... As cocoa butter is a little expensive and is scarce in my area where I live...
Love this, did it for a work cake challenge last year. The cake looked amazing! I'm doing another this year but I was wondering, can I add glitter to the ganache? 🤔
would u recommend doing the drips with a piping bag or putting the chocolate onto the top of the cake and moving the turn table , letting the drips fall on its own? which is easier for begnniners ?
I was coming here to see if anyone else asked that very question? So, I'm guessing maybe she mixed different colors into the butter cream frosting. Idk but I'd love to know😂 I'm just going to try it the way I think she did it🤷🏽♀️
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!! because of your videos, I am now busy starting a cake business here in South Africa. I am an Accountant, not a chef, but I learn so much and people love it! THANKS so much for these videos!!
That is great! How is the cake business going? I wanted to do it!!
I also do that because of the vedios found at youtube
Wow
Yay! You go.
Jemma I feel like I've almost mastered buttercream and I've made great cupcakes too! because of watching your frosting techniques and using the grams for the good butter and sugar and milk it's just been amazing and I've been baking for years and I love it but thank you so much!
You had me at " don't ask me for cups"
Finally someone on RUclips that understands.

Thank you for going so in depth for the white chocolate. I am making my mom a cake for Mother’s Day with white drips
Jemma isn't here for people who need volumetric measurements and I LOVE IT.
PatisserieBoy HI5 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
She said “it’s an equal 50-50 recipe” so I guess it has the same amount. Like 50g chocolate and 50grams cream ☺️
You her spokesperson? lol
Kara im afraid the point of the original comment completely passed you by....... 😄
Patisserie Boy. I will never understand why the cups measurements are so popular in some countries. It's so much more accurate to work in weight rather than volume. Love your comment!
I seriously love you Jemma, I'm a baker too and besides being inspired by your videos I feel so at home & so good just watching you spread joy in the form of yumminess. Thank you
Thanks for showing the super white powder and the cocoa butter. You’ve mentioned them in other vids and I wondered what they looked like.
Hi Jemma ... I learn alot from u .. now I manage to bake my family's birthday and special occasion. All bcoz of u so amazing and talented person. Thank you so much.
I'm mesmerized by the people in the back, especially when they use the fridge
They love it in the fridge!
@@CupcakeJemma haha
It is sinfascinating
me too
Yeah that’s probably my favourite part
hey Jemma, could you do a video about the different kinds of sugar, what to use them for and what they do in a cake or cookie. I'm sometimes a bit confused about the different kinds like dark brown, light brown, demerara, white sugar, etc.
greetings and lots of love :) 💕
Maybe that’s a good idea for a Tuesday Tip. I will consult the gang 😌
@@CupcakeJemma you're the best!! thank you so much :D

*cut to me straight up drinking the ganache*
puts it in the piping bag still.
Hello, I love your videos and your way of teaching, I have improved a lot in the creation of my cakes. I have a question in your chocolate drip video do you use cocoabutter can you use edible coconut oil?
I was thinking the same thing! Did you end up trying coconut oil? If so, how did it go?
Thank you for doing the video on drip cakes. Looking forward to trying it out soon xx
The pink looks so beautiful I definitely want to try this on colour
This couldn't have come at a better time. I wanted to make a drip cake for my daughter's 4th birthday on Sunday.
What frosting are you using on your drip cakes?
Just buttercream x
Great tutorial as always... just wondering, does it matter what the cake is covered in to begin with? Is it iced with buttercream or ganache before drip? Thanks x
It does not matter what the cake is covered with. Drips work with everything!xx

Thanks a lot for your tips. I tried the drip icing for the first time and it came out perfect !!! Thanks
Hi jemma, love your vids just wondering if there is a sustitute to coco butter or if you know where i can sorce some from in the uk?

I absolutely love your channel! I've learned so much from watching. Got to go find someone to bake and decorate a cake for, lol!

Could you do a tutorial for mirror glaze please?? 😀

I am just making a cake at the moment and it will be my first time trying a drip!
Great video as always, i was wondering is there a substitute for cocoa butter?
I am hoping someone answers this question. I live in the states and I can't seem to find cocoa butter where I am located.
Did you ever find a solution for this? Asking for a friend...
Tried this today and it worked perfectly.
Thank you
Wow it's amazing, can put any design on the top too
This is perfect because just last week I was thinking that I would love to try a drip cake 👌
Jemma, my son Owen was pulling his hair out trying to do a drip cake. Your explanation was awesome, thank you very much, regards Damian
Thanks so much for sharing this, I am trying it for the first time today - with milk chocolate! Lovely that it is made to look so easy! Thanks :)
You are a genius with cakes! What is super white? Not sure if we have that in the Caribbean...
I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you Shelley.
Thanks for the video! I've recently gotten into baking and I'm planning on doing a drip cake for my family's Easter get-together. This was SUPER informative and helpful. Many, many thanks!!!
Did it harden? Either on the cake or the leftover chocolate?
Thanks a ton Jemma... I tried it for the first time n it came out perfect 😍😍🤗
You are brilliant and so good at clearly explaining techniques. Thank you so much. I need to do rose gold drip but have no idea how to make that work. Would appreciate your advice please. Jo from New Zealand
Thank you so much for this video Jemma. I’ve always wanted to try drip cakes but never been brave enough 😬 maybe now I’ll give it a try!
You can do it! It’s super easy! 😊
Hi Jemma, is there any substitute for cocoa butter?
Thank you so much Jemma for your amazing tutorials I love watching your videos.
BEST BAKING RUclips OUT THERE!! THANK YOU JEMMA!!
Hey Gemma. Can you please tell us which kind of chocolate do you use for dripping cake? Couverture chocolate or compound chocolate or just random chocolate for baking? Thank you!! Wait for your helpful response!!💓
It has to be couverture!

Thank you....soo amazing watching u do this
OMG I am super excited to find your channel again! A few years back I happened upon your video of you making chocolate cupcakes. I wrote down the recipe but never subscribed 🤦♀️🤦♀️ not this time! Hit that Subscribe button first thing! 😃👍
I love your Apron 💜💜💜 it’s beautiful 😍
Great video and I need this as hobby baker , thank you so much dear 💜
Excited to watch correct way to drip cake!
Hey Jemma,
I'm your big fan, can you please say that for the white chocolate drip can we use cream like you did in the dark chocolate part?? Please help.....
As cocoa butter is a little expensive and is scarce in my area where I live...
Hi Jemma can i use butter instead of cocobutter. Thanks!
Hey what type of chocolate do u prefer for dripping cake? Couverture or compound or just random chocolate? Thank u❤️
Such an important skill! I recently put up a chocolate drip cake with sprinkles on my channel. 😊 It's a fun one!
Great video. Is the same quantities for milk chocolate and can I keep the cake in the fridge over night without spoiling the drip? Thank you x
Love what's in your fridge!
For those of you who, like me, don't have cocoa butter I used double the amount of chocolate to double cream and it worked
You did this for the white chocolate?
Love this, did it for a work cake challenge last year. The cake looked amazing! I'm doing another this year but I was wondering, can I add glitter to the ganache? 🤔
Hi Jemma, could you do a video on making whipped cream for cake decoration and what is the best way to colour it? Thanks!
would u recommend doing the drips with a piping bag or putting the chocolate onto the top of the cake and moving the turn table , letting the drips fall on its own? which is easier for begnniners ?
Hi Jemma, thanks for the video. Does the cake have to be cooled before the drip?
Thanks and May God bless the work of your hands. We really do appreciate
Also watching people in the background ❤
Is there a tutorial on how to do that painterly design on the second cake? How did you get it to keep the shape of the strokes while making it smooth?
I was coming here to see if anyone else asked that very question? So, I'm guessing maybe she mixed different colors into the butter cream frosting. Idk but I'd love to know😂 I'm just going to try it the way I think she did it🤷🏽♀️
hey cupcake jemma i just love the drip cakes they look so so good i just love your ideas that you do thankyou so much xxxxxxxxxxx
I did sucess with your tips. Thanks so much and my kitchen is not mess with ganache anymore ❤❤❤❤
Wow !! Awesome. I like your way of baking
That apron btw.. it's absolutely gorgeous 😍
