Hello Delish the recipe on your website is missing the measurement amounts for the milk and cream for the icing. Can you please let us know the amounts?
Hi, for the icing it reads: 1 pt. milk and 1 pt. cream! Hope that helps!
@@delish Ah a pint of each! Got it thank you so much!
Hi @delish the cake ingredients is also missing measurements for the Cocoa powder and buttermilk mentioned in the video. 🥺 I was planning to make this cake today. Can you please help?
@Delish you still haven’t posted the cocoa amounts and buttermilk. Seriously
The fact that this chef takes time to give praise to others, the "unsung heroes" at the White House shows his amazing character and love. I never knew there was a calligraphy department.
There’s a calligraphy department!? 🖋
@@Nicholaskcl Oh WOW!! It seems they were smart enough to put aside politics and hired the best person for the job.
@@SundaysChild1966agreed! Hiring me was great decision.
@@Nicholaskcl thanks for sharing your own insights into the man.
There apparently is
"apple salad is not a desert" - That's EXACTLY what I used to tell my mom when I was begging for some sweet and offered fruits instead. Finally, thank you.
Validation. 🙂
Fruit salad suspended in jell-o with whipped cream on top is certianly dessert.
*Dessert
@@brockreynolds870 fruit salad is an Dessert not with jelly
"Mom the US president even said apple salad not a desert if it isn't fit for a president it not fit for me"
bruh all i did was click on Prince philips favourite food and now im getting non stop recs of famous leaders favourite food
same i'm not complaining though lol
Same here😂
Me too! 🤣
same here haha
Yup lol
Give this guy his own netflix series where he interviews chefs who have worked for politicians and celebrities
I would totally binge watch this show!
That already exists, although possibly not on Netflix. You can search Club de Chefs de Chefs. It's a special club of chefs for Heads of State.
@@amycrowley8341 Hello. How are you doing?
He can alternate with the chef who used to work in Buckingham palace, equally cool & interesting!
@@goudagirl6095 yeah, that chef is great, also by talking about the kids coming to the kitchen for snacks--PH and PW (also PD)
To be told by the President of the USA "it's an honor for me, too" like that is quite awesome.
It truly is, it shows how great a person George. W. Bush is
it really isnt, why lie
@@Joker-zk2we Other than the war crimes.. At least he was polite
@@vincentprice9156 lmao
@@Joker-zk2we Sure he killed like millions in the Middle East but whatever! They're not our people, they're not civlised so who cares!.
This guy really won me over when he chose to highlight the people many never think about. He could have easily made this video all about himself and his own talent, seems like a really cool and very intelligent guy.
don't be too impressed. smart people know the value of projecting humility to create an impression in your mind.
@@paulbarclay4114 exactly narcissist also can't help but bring it back to themselves
He and darren macgrady should collab.. Both of them is a wonderful storyteller...
Hahahaha no way I was just thinking that!
Yesss!
Same thought! Haha
What a dream that would be!
Having a president cheif and the royal family chief Dolan crossover, Epicness how about on the experiences when the visits occur.😏😎
It’s like he’s Darren’s American brother 😂
he and Darren would make a beautiful diplomatic feast
😂
Sorry for being uncultured, but who is Darren?
@@kongfucius4032 a british chef whose on this channel for the royals
Lol, yeah.
Hes the first chef Ive ever seen who does not praise his food when he tastes it.
As a choco-holic who’s been giving up chocolate and all manner of sweets for a month.... I need this now🥺
For Lent? If so, it's only another six days for an Easter Sunday dessert treat. Hang in there !
It's been two weeks, hows it going?
@@msr1116 thank you 😊
My mom ex boyfriend worked at a hotel in Texas that President Bush was staying. The hotel was catering after he was doing some speaking engagement and they were serving fancy food. What was fancy food, I’m not sure but Bush wasn’t pleased. He was like “where’s the tacos, the fajitas, enchiladas??Where’s the Tex-Mex food???” Mind you this was in San Antonio so he expected food what we’re known for
Whoops well sometimes people want lower priced food can’t blame him well bill gates went to shake shack cause he wanted a burger from there I could not have expensive food every day even If I could
@@Stalkergames916 Its not about the price its about what you're in the mood for. Fancy food is nice and all, but when you want a taco you want a taco.
Not to talk about trump...... but i read he really likes diner food and eats and buys food for everyone during campaign. I guess at that level of wealth, you just want your happy food.
Tacos rule!
@@carlocontapay7780 🚫❗️
George is probably watching this, drooling and calling this pastry chef to make him a piece
George killed thousands iraqi childrens.
@@googlekonto2851 okay 1: how is this relevant to his comment at all? 2: they deserved it, every last one of them.
@@googlekonto2851 million civilians
so did biden
@@Joker-zk2we they didn't deserve it but. it is a cake video with personal stories. Keep politics out of this
I’ve met him in person. He’s has such a great passion for gastronomy and best pie I’ve ever had!
A passion for serving meals to war mongers and child murderers.
@@googlekonto2851 dude who shat in your bed
Things I learned: every menu is hand-written. That’s incredible!
This jolly man ate his own glorious cake and said "It's okay"
Jeez, I don't have to taste it to know it will be wonderous. What a humble and amazing guy.
This chef brings in so many good vibes. It even transcends the baking show to a more personal ambit. Props for that.
He is a GEM 💎 please bring him back as regular... his stories are mesmerising and timeless ... easy to watch and drift away ... 🤗👍🏻
Only bad thing is that George's meals were not poisoned.
He is the Bob Ross of baking, the anti-Gordon Ramsay
yes, but what would Paul Hollywood think?
There's something about that raw batter that looks so much better than the finished cake
It looks like mousse almost!
@@stephencodekas3745 Yes!
Tastes better too!
@ Annie Park It's that silky, smooth cat belly fluffiness. Delishhhh. :)
@@emmaauty2922 Hello. How are you doing?
This was fascinating. This guy passed the vibe check. Please bring him back.
Im from algeria but i rely your contry cause of people like him hard workers and contry lovers this guy is an American treasure gold bless him
Yes Yes Yes
@@sandraatkins2539 Hello. How are you doing?
I like the way he presented the cake and his self. Seems like a down to earth guy.
Hello Helen Woodrum. How are you doing?
@@wilsonwalker1181 Hello. I'm doing well and you?
@@helenwoodrum2383 I’m doing great. Nice meeting you here. I’m from Washington dc but lives in Texas. What about you?
"When the Head of State is finished eating, you're finished eating" - that made me laugh
*Laughs in monarchy*
@Selma De Faria Doggy bag, it's the only way to go.
We need a video with Bill Yosses and Darren McGrady sharing stories and making food together.
9:47 "they're using a mouse whisker..." LOL, love this guy!
Love bombing iraq
@@googlekonto2851 this one chef had absolutely 0 part in Bush's policy, chill.
@@AOnAcid Hello. How are you doing?
I could listen to him and his stories for hours.
i didn't even think of chocolate before this video and now making plans to get some. lol
I also think about bombing iraqi villages and Abu ghraib
He's a really good storyteller, I could listen to him for hours!
Hearing how much Bush looked forwards to dessert makes the apple salad story even sadder, lol. Poor guy.
We've got to see the apple salad recipe now
He’s an American. Just marinade a single sliced apple in corn syrup, throw it in some violently pink Jell-O along with marshmallows, chocolate chips & M&Ms, set, drizzle with more corn syrup, sprinkle with electric blue sugar & serve!
@@blueribenaberry if that was really an apple salad then the President wouldnt complain
@@matth3657 ...Sorry what?
@@blueribenaberry He's mocking you for mocking America.
I don't know the recipe, but I would just slice some nice apples of a sweet variety (Fuji, Honeycrisp etc), then drizzle a some kind of coulis (cherry or cranberry), perhaps with a hint of balsamic vinegar. Garnish with a bit of flaky salt and mint leaves.
I really like this man, his desserts, and especially his stories. It is interesting to hear little tidbits of what goes on in the White House and behind the scenes stories of its inhabitants. More content with Chef Yosses please!
Hello Cindy Bobindy. How are you doing?
1) This chef seems like a nice, talented man.
2) His anecdotes about the White House are fascinating, and i'd love to hear what else he has to say.
3) He makes Bush seem like a really genuine, wholesome, yet impressive figure.
4) If Bush can eat dessert every day and still outrun members of the US Secret Service, then i can get fit, too.
This guy is great! I love when he said how they hired him and being from New York, a liberal democrat, he got an opportunity. I laughed and it’s just a great thing to hear. As a republican, I just love this. It makes me happy and I like this man. A great deal!
Proof positive that "you can have your cake and eat it too".
I'm pretty sure everyone would eat desert, if they had a personal chef who made it.
dessert*
Absolutely LOVE THIS SERIES!! All the stories you’d never else hear
He is such a great story teller beyond baking these delicious treats
Who else really wanted to see the apple salad
Look up 'Waldorf Salad'.
that bloke who'd worked at the Wight House since Eissenhower has literally seen like a third of the entire history of the US lol
regardless of what you know/think/say about that administration, *this* guy is a freakin' gem.
He should be on this show more, hes wonderful😊
We should call the show salt fire genocide and heat
Is nobody gonna talk about this guy's hilariously accurate Julia Child impression??
I love him. Such a kind hearted character that's a real person.
All of his words and the people who mentioned, just a wonderful guy.
Give this guy a show! He is AWESOME!!!😍
As a lifelong liberal, I always liked George, Laura and the daughters. Integrity, honorable.
War criminals
Do you know what i have noticed? These chefs and servants to the most powerful individuals on earth are so humble, kind, and talented. They are very admirable.
Oh what a gorgeous cake, my 8 layer cakes are not so pretty.
His telling stories and building that beauty is the best.
Hello Elizabeth Harttley. How are you doing?
I love his appreciation of people and details, he's really a treasure of a human being.
As he dumps mostly melted butter....”don’t use melted butter”.....
I've made desserts. That small amount of melted butter would be insignificant. It will not alter the recipe.
Either the kitchen was quite warm or it was placed close to a heat source, since the butter was already in the process of liquifying.
Exactly what I was going to comment. But you said it first. So I'm just commenting on your comment.
when he says "melted butter" what he means is butter melted with a heat source and brought to a rolling boil in order to separate the milk solids and fats (the process of making ghee or clarified butter). The "melted" butter he is using in the video is just butter that is softened and left out at room temp. The fats and milk solids have not yet been separated, so it doesn't matter.
@@barbhawkins7865 Hello. How are you doing?
"I'm grateful to them for giving me the chance to serve."
A lot of White House staffers say that, but it sounds different coming from a chef :-)
He is absolutely charming, it was his humility for me, amazing story teller, bring him back please ! For the president to say for the then President to say
"it's an honor for me too", wowwww new perception of him now.
I really like this man... I'm a liberal Democrat myself and I love the way he cooks dessert, number one, and I like the way he speaks. Very respectful.
Who knew that apple salad was George W. Bush's kryptonite.
That had to be the night before he invaded iraq
“It’s okay” (chuckles). How classically humble. 🙏
I appreciate this. It's unifying in a way and isn't political at all. Whether you love or hate the politics of the time isn't the point. It is just about the food, which is something we all can get behind (like what he said at the end about how food brings folks together despite not having political beliefs that aligned with that administration). I appreciate Bill's stories about what it was like working with different world leaders at the time... And who doesn't love a good chocolate cake recipe?!
Lately, I've noticed anything at all to do with George W. Bush, however apolitical the topic, someone will post that 43 is a war criminal. I just read one such remark while scrolling down the comments not two minutes ago. SMH Edit: And there are several more as I continue to look over the remaining comments.
@@msr1116 We r jus telling the truth so
@@tiffinie9366 .....but what do you ultimately accomplish by inserting that label into anything and everything that mentions Bush 43, however irrelevant it is to the topic at hand, which in this case only involves his favorite chocolate cake and nothing more? What is your goal?
@@msr1116 (because he’s a war criminal)
Yosses seems super friendly. Love how he respects president/stuff & the graditute he shows for working in the white house
Love that response from Dubya. Class act. By no means the greatest president ever but you want to hear that he was a decent person and that's something that always gets left out in politics
Goddamit, another series I'm addicted to. thanks
You're not just a pastry chef, you're a pastry chef/historian.
Bush sounded like a pretty humble good guy
I really like the amount of love and respect he has plus that cake looked amazing.
Hello Dane Pittman. How are you doing?
I’m not even surprised chocolate cake is his favorite after I saw the way he stared at Michelle Obama 🤣
You need to stop. He was staring at a beautiful woman who happens to be an in law. Remember he's related to President Obama through his maternal relatives.
Is he referring to "The Butler" (Forest Whitaker) when speaking of the older gentleman that was there for multiple administrations?
I know how that feels lol celebrating the birthday on 4th of July because you're one or two days off it.
I love your stories on the White House Kitchen, and you're an excellent storyteller.
such a well balanced personality. Interesting interview
imagine the security clearances required to cook food for the president and his family and friends LOL
the caligraphy was otherwordly. gorgeous
He seems like a really cool guy. Now I want some cake lol
10:46 the way he said this man was not joking had me dying
What a fun video! It’s always fun to learn what the president likes to eat! Regardless of politics we all like great food! 😍
i can see why this man was hired.... i love it.
This chef seems like a delightful man!
I love how industrial kitchen this is. No pretty bowls to arrange the ingredients. I like to see cooking shows arrange things prettily, but sometimes it makes me feel inadequate too.
Note to self. If you serve apple salad have a backup plan. Just in case. Thanks for the video.
Legit maybe this guy should be President with all his inside observations on both parties’ presidents
Yup, this one gets a thumbs up. This video has so much great content in it! I'd be up for a Part 2 with this Chef.
I think it’s wonderful and very telling that this chef who has such different political views than his employer was able to walk away from his job with such respect and admiration for the man he worked for. Says a lot about both of them.
So enjoyable to hear these stories!
Hello Hilary Schrauf. How are you doing?
I don’t need it, I don’t need it, …. I NEED IT!
Y our right in singing praises to to staffers who make everything run smoothly. They make thhe occasion and occasion and memorable.
Uuuhh! I so need to try that 7 layer chocolate cake for MY birthday - which is 6th July as well 😉 This one might become a new tradition. Cause I sure love chocolate cakes.
every time I hear the music in the background, my mind wants to go to "when johnny comes marching home" but it just teases me.
that story about getting the meeting, saying "its an honor to be here sir," only to have W respond "it is for me, too" ... confirmed - definitely want to get a couple beers down with the Dub.
What a nice human being! He has such a kind, genteel demeanor. And he’s so affable that I feel like I could just sit and listen to him tell stories for hours!
Fascinating. More of this type of content please!
Presidential favorites: 🇺🇸
Prez. Bush: 7 layered chocolate cake
Prez. Obama: American honeycrisp apple pie
Trump: McDonald’s $1 menu
My sons mantra is 15 minutes early is on time, on time is late. He didn’t get it from Momma 😁
A mouse whisker lmao 🤣 that part cracked me up
What a lovely man. They must miss his cooking.
What I wouldn’t give to chill and eat a chocolate cake with GW.
rare that I watch a video with a smile on my face the entire time 👌🏻
I bet the inspiration for this brilliant mini doco series was inspired by the Royal Chef, Darren McGrady. Love it, keep them coming.
Really enjoy these stories!
More stories with war criminals!
"you don't want to use melted butter" proceeds to pour melted butter that he microwaved, top chef
Death by chocolate. OMG this looks delicious.
Better death by chocolate than death from invading iraq based on a lie
@@Hypocrisywatch1 presidents are puppets. Oil companies wanted Iraq, not Bush
@@FecalMatador sure, lets absolve him for 500,000 plus deaths, billions lost, failure in Afghanistan after resources-were diverted..all based on a wmd lie..reminds me of another whopper..trump voter fraud..is the oil industry responsible for that one too?
"It's okey" nice one, when i cook for others and they are around when i taste it i always say "eatable"
I wanna see more favorite foods from the Presidents
Any man that likes chocolate cake, is a man after my own heart!
