When I was little I would grab the peanut butter and crawl under the kitchen table and eat it from the jar with a soda spoon. Having a peanut butter dealer sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
as a maker you can only see the little mistakes, the details. But as a viewer it was stunning! I loved the colours and I loved the flavours. Also, good chaos crafting yet again.
Hi first of all I loved your video lol second I’m actually a pastry chef and I make cakes for a living and may I say bravoooo!!!!! My first ever cake looked like a dumpster fire 🔥 so you honestly did great! Plus I love those flavors! ❤
Thank you, you're very kind. I have even more respect for pastry chef's craft now! For a while when I was younger I wanted to be a pastry chef, but wow, professionals are on a whole other level! 🤩
Watching your manic baking energy just made me so happy. I was laughing so hard, I pulled a muscle. Love the end result - the colors were amazing and I'm sure it tasted superb.
Gina your comment is just what I needed ❤ I was pretty nervous to post this one because it's quite different. Thank you for hanging out and spending your wind down time with me! 🥰
First off: you did great! Second: I think this is a nice cautionary tale for any crafty frugal person who considers baking their own wedding etc cake. And by that I mean me. Cuz damn I'd half ass this on a good day, and it would not be worth the added stress on my wedding day. Nooope❤
Thank you! And honestly that is a great point. If I hadn't already been making my wedding dress I bet I would have tried to do a cake for my wedding and we've all seen how that would have gone 😂
Just a pro tip, the drizzle you were talking about is SO MUCH easier to make. And it's just basically 1 Cup powdered sugar (a.k.a. confectioners sugar) and like 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice.
New viewer watching the backlog. Honestly, as someone who used to make all the celebration cakes for my complicated food needs family, you honestly did so well. Doing what you did without half the tools I aquired over years of practice... BRAVO. Also as a side note as a fellow Australian who made decorated vegan caked in summer. Double great job! Nutlex just does not set the same as stick butter especially in aussie summer heat ❤❤. My first cakes literally turned to rubber and my first attempts as flavoured frosting literally melted off the cake. Tiered, home made icing, also dyed and flavoured frosting, filled layers, I mean... what a mamoth task and you did amazingly!
Oh thank you so much! That makes me feel so much better about my attempt. I had absolutely no idea how much I was taking on when I started. It was soooo hot too, such a poorly timed project 😂
You diving into this half cocked is just so my energy. The number of times I’ve started a project and severely overestimated my own skill and underestimated the difficulty of the project is off the charts 😭😭😭 That said I think the cake looked great! Frosting is so hard to master and you did some lovely detailing
I usually don't comment on videos, but I just can't not comment right now. I'm having a really dumb week and my mental health requires me to watch to much youtube. I've been binging (is this how you write that word?) your videos for two days now. And after this one I'm feeling so much better! Thank you, I love your content and your chaotic energy
I'm sorry you're having such a crummy week, I hope things get better asap. Thank you for sharing that, it really means so much to know that my silly little videos have helped 😊 We're all about having a safe and cozy corner of the internet here. Thanks for hanging out ❤🤗
I think you're being way too hard on yourself - the cake turned out fantastic 🥰 And if anyone would go to that much trouble for me it would make my day. Your family was clearly very impressed as well 😊
Aww thank you, you're too kind! I think my family was mostly surprised though because I didn't tell them what I was bringing 😂 But I do think my parents appreciated it ❤❤
ruin? Nonononono I will always enjoy watching people make cakes. Cake good. you do all the makey crafty things, I'm here because you have a bubbly chaos energy that I quite enjoy as it helps me feel better about my own chaos energy :D More chaos, please :D
Aww thank you so much! I WILL keep doing all the makey crafty things and that is also how I'm going to describe it now😄 Also I don't think I am able to do anything without the chaos, so I can confirm more is coming 😂 Thank you for being here!
First of all, I'm here to stay. I have turned on notifications to prove I'm staying. Second of all, 100.4 degrees fahrenheit. No. I would be going no where. Rotting. In a bath of ice water. Finally, you did an AMAZING job plus excellent content. Thank you and i hope you're doing okay.
❤❤❤ Welcome back! I'm so happy you stayed for the baking content (tbh I was a bit nervous putting this one out). And thank you, yes - THE HEAT. Wow what a bad week to be baking and frosting. I actually did have a cold bath at one point! Thank you so much for your support, you're very sweet 🥰❤
this was an Experience :D honestly if you did this with box mix and storebought jam I sitll would be impressed, but doing everything from scratch is INSANE! well done!
You can tell that my adhd meds are working because I needed to get up and make a snack and a drink 15 minutes ago but I'm pausing your video ONLY ten minutes into it to do that thing and come back. Which is practically immediate. Anyway, enjoying the cake making very much.
That’s so impressive!! So many piping techniques and colors and cakes! If you ever make Swiss meringue again, try making French meringue with the yolks. It’s the richest frosting ever (because the yolks are pure fat and then you add butter), but it’s amazingly decadent and is over the few buttercream techniques that tastes different than other buttercreams even before you add flavorings.
Haha thank you, they are extremely supportive. Although I think most of their reaction can be boiled down to I didn't tell them I was bringing cake at all so I think it was mostly shock 😂
This is so valid. A few weeks before my friends birthday i decided I was gonna try and make a vegan red velvet cake (I have never made a cake before) for his party. I manged to make some acceptable cupcakes 😂😂 and I think about two got eaten (not because they were bad, people just wanted bbq food and not cake!)
It looked great! I bet if an expert chef tried it in our Aussie heat too, they could not have done better than you did! Great work and I'm glad you got to share it with family 😊 (and didn't drop it 😂)
You know it didn't even occur to me that the heat might have been why my frosting was so melty coming coming out of the piping bag 😂😂 Thank you so much! Also, I am personally amazed that the cake made it to my parents house in one piece 😅
ASH …… you are just BLOODY BRILLIANT….. well done for having a go … and …. It looked great (from a distance) …. Only joking!!! I am so impressed I wouldn’t have even tried … and I loved the colours too … 💖💖💖💖💖
@@ashbentley 😂😂😂. It made me laugh when you said the Wish version … see if I tried this and tried to hide the messy icing with more icing it would end up 3 inches thick with icing …. If you ever come to the London UK …. I would love to meet you , you always put a huge smile on my face 💖💖💖
OK that was genuinely impressive!! Cake decorating is the worst, and that looked pretty fancy in the end. I did lose it laughing at the point when you said you don't even like frosted cake.
I think it looks really good for a first try at something like that. I think if you decide to try again it'll go a lot better. Might be a fun new hobby or something.
Oh and the colours that were so confusing. I'd hazard a guess if no one else has already mentioned. The base cake was probably one colour, and the gradient airbrushed on afterwards in order to make the decoration fade with the ombre on the original.
It turned out amazing. Plus lemon-blueberry is an excellent flavour combo. Have you tried the Ottolenghi almond, lemon, blueberry cake? Its a crowd pleaser for when you feel like juicing more lemons 😅
OOooooooohhh that looks amazing - I love cakes made with almond meal (some days I just get a craving for friands that nothing else will satisfy) and I am saving that recipe for the next time I can look at a lemon. Thank you!
You need to change the name of your channel to "Adventures with Ash". It's always an interesting experience watching your process. The little thingy that let's you change out tips is pronounced ""cup-ler". You were right the first time.
Reminds me of the time, I was like I want to make a croquembouche even though I've never made choux pastry before. At least yours turned out and looked delicious. Mine didn't.
this remind me i need to take out the butter so it get room tempatured to be used today and btw why it was little griney when you did the batter it was cold butter you used rigth? next time let it sit out and then it mix better And btw that skirt with huge arms you often have on have you made it and pattern then or what? or bougth? then from where
Yes I think the butter might have been too cold - I always forget to take it out! The dress with the puffy sleeves is from an Australian brand called Shona Joy - best to get them on sale! I'll try to recreate one of their puffy sleeve shirts soon so hopefully that will help 🥰
When I was little I would grab the peanut butter and crawl under the kitchen table and eat it from the jar with a soda spoon. Having a peanut butter dealer sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
😂
THANK YOU. I feel seen. I used to take the jar to work and keep a spoon so I could snack during the day! We are kindred peanut butter spirits ❤
Came for the sewing, stayed for the chaotic baking. Looked amazing 👏
Yay thank you! I appreciate that 🥰
as a maker you can only see the little mistakes, the details. But as a viewer it was stunning! I loved the colours and I loved the flavours. Also, good chaos crafting yet again.
Oh thank you so much! I will say I laughed heartily watching back the close ups 😂

.❤❤❤
Gina your comment is just what I needed ❤ I was pretty nervous to post this one because it's quite different. Thank you for hanging out and spending your wind down time with me! 🥰
Omg I laughed so much at your mental state devolving the longer it took. Thank you for baking these beautiful cakes and thanks for the laugh. 😊
Haha right, the heat didn't help either 😂 Thanks so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed ❤
First off: you did great! Second: I think this is a nice cautionary tale for any crafty frugal person who considers baking their own wedding etc cake. And by that I mean me. Cuz damn I'd half ass this on a good day, and it would not be worth the added stress on my wedding day. Nooope❤

It's that new project dopamine! Gets you every time 😂 And thank you, that's very kind of you 😊
That was so much fun, Ash. Thank you for the laughs and for showing your families reaction it looked delicious! ❤
I'm so glad you had fun, thank you for hanging out! 🥰❤

@@ashbentley I wouldn't be here if you weren't here first, so :)
I look forward to the future chaos! 😊
🥰🥰
Now I'm feeling inspired to make a cake. Yours looked delicious and beautiful. I'm going to cut a few corners and use a boxed cake mix.
Yay that sounds like a great idea!! I think the Betty Crocker cookies and brownie box mixes are better than anything I cake bake 😄
First of all, I'm here to stay. I have turned on notifications to prove I'm staying.
Second of all, 100.4 degrees fahrenheit. No. I would be going no where. Rotting. In a bath of ice water.

Haha thank you, I appreciate that! I think the insane part may have been choosing to do this in a week of extreme heat days 😂😂
We heart baking content! And yes I am trying to like and comment every one of your videos that I watch
You're the best! Thanks so much ❤
You can tell that my adhd meds are working because I needed to get up and make a snack and a drink 15 minutes ago but I'm pausing your video ONLY ten minutes into it to do that thing and come back. Which is practically immediate. Anyway, enjoying the cake making very much.
I love this so much! Most importantly, how was the snack?
@@ashbentley raisin toast with lots of butter, hard to go wrong with that!
OMG I love this so much! Here for all the content. The cake turned out SO GOOD! Congratulations!
Awww thank you, you're very kind! So happy to have you here! ❤
That’s so impressive!! So many piping techniques and colors and cakes! If you ever make Swiss meringue again, try making French meringue with the yolks. It’s the richest frosting ever (because the yolks are pure fat and then you add butter), but it’s amazingly decadent and is over the few buttercream techniques that tastes different than other buttercreams even before you add flavorings.
That's such a great idea! That would have been a great use of the egg yolks 😅 And apparently it tastes similar to pastry cream? I'm in 😍
@@ashbentley Like pastry cream, with about 3 times the fat. It's definitely rich!
@@xingcat Sounds amazing!
This was ambitious!! 😊 Don't give up baking, this was fun!! 😄 The cake turned out amazing!! Thanks and Greetings 👋🐾
Thank you so much! I will try again with baking but just maybe not for a while 😅😅
that was fantastic
Thank youuuuuuu 😊
Loved this video Ash. Thank you! The cake was absolutely delicious. Decadent, but oh so delicious. ❤
Thank youI Glad you liked it 😊 ❤
Okay, like... It's not that bad. Your family is so sweet.
Haha thank you, they are extremely supportive. Although I think most of their reaction can be boiled down to I didn't tell them I was bringing cake at all so I think it was mostly shock 😂
Your personality is so much fun. Also the cake looked pretty good 🖤
Not getting a shot for the thumbnail. I feel that 😂
Aw thank you! Yeah that was a whoops, too excited to eat it!
This was hilarious and actually a massive achievement, great work!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I’m so impressed! I wouldn’t have even attempted this!
Thank you! I'm not sure why I did attempt it if that helps 😂
This was so much fun and such a great way to start my morning. I laughed SO HARD (with not at), which i really needed. Thank you 😊
That is so lovely to hear. I'm so glad I could give you a laugh (whether at or with - I don't mind!) ❤
This is so valid. A few weeks before my friends birthday i decided I was gonna try and make a vegan red velvet cake (I have never made a cake before) for his party. I manged to make some acceptable cupcakes 😂😂 and I think about two got eaten (not because they were bad, people just wanted bbq food and not cake!)
That is so sweet that you went for a vegan cake when you hadn't even baked a cake before! Vegan baking is even more tricky 😅
well done. Piping is certainly not easy for the first time. Looked nice, and hopefully it was tasty.
Thank you! I tasted better than I thought it would in the end 😊
Amazing. Mmmm lemon curd.
It's. The. Best. Well mine wasn't. But in general it's great 😂
It looked great! I bet if an expert chef tried it in our Aussie heat too, they could not have done better than you did! Great work and I'm glad you got to share it with family 😊 (and didn't drop it 😂)
You know it didn't even occur to me that the heat might have been why my frosting was so melty coming coming out of the piping bag 😂😂 Thank you so much! Also, I am personally amazed that the cake made it to my parents house in one piece 😅
Well done! As a fellow amateur baker, that’s actually quite impressive! I always end up with extra frosting too lol
At first there wasn't enough AT ALL and then there was WAY too much. How do bakers do it?? Thank you though ☺
ASH …… you are just BLOODY BRILLIANT….. well done for having a go … and …. It looked great (from a distance) …. Only joking!!! I am so impressed I wouldn’t have even tried … and I loved the colours too … 💖💖💖💖💖
Haha thank you Tina! ❤❤ But I agree it's far better looking from a distance 😂😂 I tried to hide the messy frosting by just adding more messy frosting 😅
@@ashbentley 😂😂😂. It made me laugh when you said the Wish version … see if I tried this and tried to hide the messy icing with more icing it would end up 3 inches thick with icing …. If you ever come to the London UK …. I would love to meet you , you always put a huge smile on my face 💖💖💖
You're very sweet 🥰 Visiting the UK is a dream of mine - Hopefully one day!
OK that was genuinely impressive!! Cake decorating is the worst, and that looked pretty fancy in the end. I did lose it laughing at the point when you said you don't even like frosted cake.
You came back! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much. Yes there was a lot of questioning my life choices during this process 😂
I think it looks really good for a first try at something like that. I think if you decide to try again it'll go a lot better. Might be a fun new hobby or something.
Thank you so much, that's so sweet. I might stick to chocolate chip cookies for now but who knows ❤❤
Hey, everyone! Ash doesn’t sieve her flour! Great job!
SHHHHHHHH don't tell anyone 😂😂 Haha thank you ❤❤
This is the most ADHD video I've ever seen AND I AM HERE FOR IT!
Haha that is quite the distinction and I'll take it! Thank you so much, that makes me really happy to hear. Thanks for being here! ❤
this cake was so yummy
Thank yoooouuuu ❤
Oh and the colours that were so confusing. I'd hazard a guess if no one else has already mentioned. The base cake was probably one colour, and the gradient airbrushed on afterwards in order to make the decoration fade with the ombre on the original.
Ohh interesting! I wouldn't have even thought you could airbrush food 😅
It turned out amazing. Plus lemon-blueberry is an excellent flavour combo. Have you tried the Ottolenghi almond, lemon, blueberry cake? Its a crowd pleaser for when you feel like juicing more lemons 😅
OOooooooohhh that looks amazing - I love cakes made with almond meal (some days I just get a craving for friands that nothing else will satisfy) and I am saving that recipe for the next time I can look at a lemon. Thank you!
It turned out sooo nice! I also recently tried to make a cake as a crocheter with no experience but it didn't turn out this nice 😂😂
Thank you! There's so much more that goes into it than I thought. I'm sure your cake was lovely, it's good to try new things😊
This was amazing!🎉
Thank you so much! 💕
Oh woow :D I am happy it survived, I got tired by watching you doing the frosting :D
Thank you, I honestly didn't think it would survive! And it was so much frosting 😅
Nice first try!
Thank you! 😁

You need to change the name of your channel to "Adventures with Ash". It's always an interesting experience watching your process.
The little thingy that let's you change out tips is pronounced ""cup-ler". You were right the first time.
Haha thanks very much, it's a wonder I get anything done 😂 And thanks, I think I had said coupler so many times it started to sound weird 😅
I looooooooooooooooooooove cake. Now I want to make this. 🙃🤷🏼♀️🎂❤
Yay! Go for it! 🍰❤
Can definitely identify with the sudden urge to spend the whole day baking when it's heckin' hot out 🥵😂
Why do we do it to ourselves?! 😂😂
Wow, you did great, i don't ice cakes it's more camouflage but possibly edible?😂 ❤
Haha hopefully edible! Thank you 😁
Reminds me of the time, I was like I want to make a croquembouche even though I've never made choux pastry before. At least yours turned out and looked delicious. Mine didn't.
OMG croquembouche sounds amazing, maybe I'll do that next?? I've made choux pastry once before and it is TRICKY. Great work giving it a go!
Yeah my cream puffs didn't puff so then I just cried and ate the pastry custard with a spoon.@@ashbentley
I consider all pastry just a vessel for pastry cream anyway 😊
Found your content by the creepy rabbit backpack, stayed for the chaos
Haha yay! Welcome 🤗
this remind me i need to take out the butter so it get room tempatured to be used today and btw why it was little griney when you did the batter it was cold butter you used rigth? next time let it sit out and then it mix better
And btw that skirt with huge arms you often have on have you made it and pattern then or what? or bougth? then from where
Yes I think the butter might have been too cold - I always forget to take it out!
The dress with the puffy sleeves is from an Australian brand called Shona Joy - best to get them on sale! I'll try to recreate one of their puffy sleeve shirts soon so hopefully that will help 🥰
@@ashbentley wonder what it cost to ship to sweden? Think i need to see it myself. Help on sleeve construction would be perfekt
I'll see what I can do to share how the sleeves are made!
@@ashbentley 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I couldn't imagine buying 1kg of flour......I normally buy a 20kg bag and it lasts almost a month ( I bake all our bread products and sweets)
Wow that's amazing! I've never made bread - it looks way too tricky! But also yes - isn't 1kg of flour such a silly little amount??
I think you're being too hard in yourself. As a first attempt you did really well!
Thank you so much! I suppose it did stand up so that's something! 😂🤗
Tell Tom I said he smells lovely today.
DONE
I resonate with the inability to decorate cakes
I have decided that frosting is overrated anyway 😅
