Spelling out "Happy Birthday" on a cake is for kids parties and supermarket cakes. Those other two cakes are high-end bakery quality.

      @John Syzlack Penny was putting alcohol in majority of the dishes she cooked on Epicurious, which is where the joke came from. It wasn't like she put alcohol in her dish one time and it suddenly became a meme. Since she's been doing it long before it became a running joke, it's not a stretch to assume that any time she does it after isn't just for the sake of that running joke.
      That said, you do have a good point, but it personally doesn't bother me. It is just entertainment, after all, and I as a viewer do not want to assume I know them personally just from watching videos of them cooking. It doesn't particularly matter if they are doing it for the act, because ultimately, we are here for the act.

      What Penny is exhibiting is that her work is serious, and it requires a training to achieve a specific type of success. Yet, in todays world, this is now rivaled by anyone who has access to the internet and THINKS they’re a professional baker. Same thing with an artist, musician, etc - there’s this need nowadays to have to justify what it actually means to be an artist with a discipline. I wouldn’t walk into an office and pretend to be an accountant, because it’s my “hobby” or “releases my stress.” It’s work.

    Emily's birthday cake looks like something I would bake, Gabrielle's is like something you would buy in a shop for a friend's birthday.

      That cake is perfect as a show piece. For that extra bougie office party, gender reveal, graduation party (the nonpareils are the color of the university the high school graduate is going to) it's amazing.
      I hate hard sprinkles and nonpareils. Booze is an issue where I live because so many people don't drink for a variety of reasons. I'd probably be stuck with 3/4 of a cake.
      I've seen a variation of tiny mini brownie squares stacked in the middle instead of the sprinkles. That was really cute

  • @NethDugan
    @NethDugan 3 года назад +108

    Made a cake for my mom’s birthday recently. Heavily chocolate based as thats what she wanted. Mostly similar to level with some changes (no eggs for example). My icing was a chocolate ganache buttercream. Where I make buttercream and then fold in cooling ganache and it comes out so well. And then using blueberry jam to complement the icing in the middle gives it a new flavour that breaks through the rich chocolate. Cherry would have probably worked well too.
    Though my ability to apply it is more like level one.
