Ya! My set of measuring cups' mark faded away completely and I couldn't tell the apart...had to measure with water and write with a “permanent" marker. Yet it faded again.
+Judit Vadovics me too ^^ got my new standmixer last week^^ through the whole video i was looking back and forth between my screen and my kitchen^^ felt like a tennis match^^
Ah advice: have 3 sieves, 1 as a strainer for sticky/sweet liquids: goo, pastry cream and other things 1 as a savory one: mashed potatoes, garlic infused butter etc; 1 for dry ingredients: as the name suggests. Ingredients that are dry.
TWO POINTS 1. Towards the end when you went through all your main essential, smaller lot of a cooking equipment. You described something used to pick things up with as 'one of these' , it looked like a fat pallet knife. 2. Anyone who has seen this and panicked because they want to make jam but they are now like "ahh, no thermometer!" Don't panic! With jam, ones the fruit has broken down and the sugar has been added keep it on a rolling boil, which is constant to the extent which they look like foam, basically, for about 8-10 minutes. Then take it off the heat, and do the ripple test. Mary Berry welcomed me to the world of the ripple test i have always had great results and never have i used thermometre!
Excellent and very useful video! One thing I would add if I may is to buy as many of these items at a restaurant supply store as you can. You can usually find one in or around even smallish towns, or online. Not only is the equipment much, much sturdier, but most things are far less expensive. (Half-sheet pans for $3US, Ateco small offset spatula is ~$3, too). I have abused those sheet pans (putting them on a charcoal BBQ pit) and they still hold their shape & wash up clean. They have really cool and obscure stuff, like individual mint julep strainers. And the salespeople are really helpful in my experience. I would never buy baking gear anywhere else now.
I love my kitchen aid...best Christmas gift ever (I also love my hand mixer!). All I really need is a kitchen with more than 4 feet of semi-usable counter space 😭 Also, good Pyrex measuring cups are heaven and have lasted through 3 generations of family bakers!
I find my cooling-rack essential. I'm no expert however I think that cakes cool better (more evenly?) if air circulates all around them. I tried using the spare rack that a took out of the oven before pre-heating it but a proper cooling rack is much better especially if the cake is resting directly on it. Thanks for the tips about decorating tools/equipment, after a few years of baking plain (tasty but un- decorated) cakes I am just starting with icing so I really appreciate your advice. All the best from Sweden!
I'm a commercial baker starting out and your video is like me coming back to my central kitchen. Down to the disposable airtight containers haha. Thanks Jemma!
I have been watching your channel for a few months now, and love it, but I just came across this equipment video. Since I am relatively new to baking, I found it very helpful. I would be very interested in any more equipment and behind the scenes videos! THANK YOU
''you can never have too much bowls'' me: *stacks my whole house with bowls, no more bed, no more bathroom...just bowls* yes I think that's about right
I just found your channel on accident and I'm obsessed! It's quite different from other baking channels, I love the step-by-step, really, great content!♡
Thank you so much Jemma. Very informative. This is such a big help now that I figured out that baking is my true passion and it's something I want to do for the rest of my life.
this is one of the most useful videos I've watched. I have my list already and am ticking off things slowly because they are really expensive where i live. I missed a few items but because of this vid I can add them~~ thanks Jemma ^_^
Wow you’re the best! So willing to share your recipes, the fails and everything with detailed information. I wish you the best and lots of success in your business!
thank you jemma so so much..it was so informative.as i'm just getting started in baking.and i did not know the beginners essential which were absolute necessary.
I’m a 19 year old college student working part time. I spent my whole paycheck on a kitchen aid mixers it can start recipe testing and I love it so much
I'm just getting to this one, but it's marvelous! My kitchen is bare bones for the most part and I want to amp up my baking. Thanks Jemma for the perfect starter list! 😎
Jemma, you are an inspiration, i ONLY look at your baking, one of the weekends ill visit your shop (when I can get to London) to taste how the masters to do. Keep up the great work.
Hey Jemma! This is an absolutely fantastic video, I really enjoyed watching it and it's so helpful. I'm not quite into free standing mixer stages, but I love watching your videos and trying them out at home. Thanks for sharing this, I found it really useful! :)
one thing I really wanted to see is how to store all these more efficiently. as a home Baker, keeping these all away from my normal kitcherware, I tend to lose things
I love all these essentials video. I entered cooking and baking (did not really start until I was late 20s, before that I just buy food), in a random haphazard manner. Now I would like to do it in a more systematic way so I can get the basics right and develop principal techniques and types of baked goods.
I am a come back to baking ( after about 17ish years away. ) I still got a some of my equipment most of it destroyed ( by somebody no longer in my life ) Starting of slow building back my confidence again. One thing I can remember is never having enough or the right size containers when ever I was out shopping I would pick myself up at least one size or shape even if I did not need it. I knew I would one day. And even do that I never ever still had the right container so I agree never have enough of them.
Nice video! It was jut my birthday and I got a ton of stuff for baking! There are some things I dident get however watching your video I can now go out and but what I need with my birthday money! Thanks
My freestand mixer is part of my standing mixer so it's attachable and detachable I recommend one on those and my oven has a built in timer that automatically switches off the oven when the timer switches off
Its amazing to see a little part of Crumbs and Dollies in nearly every video. I wish to come to the cupcake shop in London. Send love from Sheffield. 😜
I really love your page you have a style in everything you do technically n wonderful way of presenting the recipes to ur Audience ♥️ THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hi Jemma, I's my son's birthday this week and he loves Speculos (the Belgian Biscoff... I am Belgian!) and he would like me to do a Biscoff layer cake. I was wondering if you could share your recipe for this and/or make a video? Thank you for all your fantastic videos. You are such an inspiration! Sweet regards, Jannick
Wow. I think I have done great for myself. Got it all minus the stand mixer (because I blew mine), sugar thermometer, bigger curved spatula, spoontula and a lot of mixing bowls. Got a really small kitchen for now so i have ti store my bakibg stuff under chairs, but I think my essential buying over the last couple of months has been great. I just started baking in July, 2019. #feelingproud
I love your channel. I being trying all your recipes. All of them work (I bearely cooked rice before without spoiling it ) =D you are amazing and you are making my time at home (during this COVID pandemic) so worth it. Thank you so much
I bake in moderation but I would not mind a Stand Mixer because like you said, makes life a lot easier for baking. I don’t mind using a hand mixer but a Stand Mixer would be cool to have.
Also, instead of using that mixer, I have a magamix food processor which is just as good, my cakes always go down well with my family, friends and neighbours. It comes with loads of different attachments as well! X
Hi Jemma, Firstly, thank you for being so amazing at what you do and sharing the wisdom. It’s Christmas around the corner and I wish your days are filled with joy and frosty cupcakes 🧁 Can you please do a video on what one might need to buy for a baking business? Like the recommended appliances. I went to search for kitchen aid and got lost with so many options.. hoping to hear from you.
Also guys get a cooling rack. It's so important to cool cakes and cookies. I don't have one but I really regret not having one while baking. So many of these utensils are expensive here in India. Like seriously. It'll take upto years for me to collect everything.
1:30 The dough hook IS useful. She must only bake cakes. The dough hook is a must for tart and puff pastry dough and pizza dough, too. You can make pie crust with it too, but I either make that by hand or use my food processor.
Bonn Afide she didn’t say they weren’t useful, just that she didn’t use them often aside from doughnuts. I know what she means, cos I always lose the dough hook for my mixer because I don’t use it. I DO bake bread, but I prefer to knead by hand. It’s a great tool if you wish to use it but it’s nothing that you can’t do easily by hand.....at least, MORE easily than finding the damn dough hook 😝
Also for measuring spoons I suggest buying ones with the measurement indented in and not just painted on incase if it wears off
Ya! My set of measuring cups' mark faded away completely and I couldn't tell the apart...had to measure with water and write with a “permanent" marker. Yet it faded again.
Mines faded lol
Agreed, I love my set except for that. I never put them in the dishwasher, so that helps.
I'm a hobby baker, but I own all of the stuff above. I feel myself so professional. :)
😊
me too!!
+Judit Vadovics
me too ^^ got my new standmixer last week^^ through the whole video i was looking back and forth between my screen and my kitchen^^ felt like a tennis match^^
same lmao
What is your favourite stand mixer?
Ah advice: have 3 sieves,
1 as a strainer for sticky/sweet liquids: goo, pastry cream and other things
1 as a savory one: mashed potatoes, garlic infused butter etc;
1 for dry ingredients: as the name suggests. Ingredients that are dry.
Jemma can you please make another video about essential ingredients for baking??
+Evening Enigma Yes Yes you are right !
Yup +CupcakeJemma can you please make that kind of video 😊
Yass
Show easy marshmallow recipe feat cup cake jemma
With how much sugar she puts in her recipes I would suggest maybe a whole shelf filled with big bags of sugar (joke)
every bakers dream to have at least everything in the video ;-;
SAME
Way too accurate
OMG YH
True thi

My family's Kenwood stand mixed has been in our family for over 48 years and it still works perfectly! It's definitely worth the investment!
Santa... listen carefully
lol
😂😂🤓🖕🏻
😹😹
haha
lol
"various utensils" literally Jemma...
Here:
-balloon whisk
-wooden spoon
-citrus squeezer
-pastry brush
-ice-cream scoop
-kitchen scissors
-"one of these" 14:52
-mini whisk
I'd call it a large offset spatula!
@@shreya9156 Honestly it's just a British/American thing

Hi Jemma,

Can you please do a video on what one might need to buy for a baking business? Like the recommended appliances. I went to search for kitchen aid and got lost with so many options..

I just love her personality
I rlly want to get better at baking and this video was so helpful ! Thank you !
I wish I had a friend like you so we can just bake together cool things
amazing! really needed this. thank you so much and i love all your videos.
Also guys get a cooling rack. It's so important to cool cakes and cookies. I don't have one but I really regret not having one while baking. So many of these utensils are expensive here in India. Like seriously. It'll take upto years for me to collect everything.
Waiting for a long time! Thank you very-very!
oh sorry forgot to mention great video, very very helpful x
I'm just starting home baking for me and my son🙌🏽

Given that she is CUPCAKE Gemma. I would guess that she only bakes cakes.
this was really useful. well done jemma💋💋💋
Your accent gives me life.!!!!!!
Hi Jemma, would you possibly be able to make a video about how you got into baking and how you made it into your job. Thank you. :)
thank you so much. very helpful video for a begimner like me. 😊😊
Your a star Jemma!!!
Dear Santa...

Dear Jemma thank you so much for sharing it's very helpful and informative 👍
Hey Jemma can you please tell us where you get your cake tins from as they look really reliable.
Me too I'd like to know, I hope she answers.
If you’re in the uk then buy from Sainsbury’s, they do excellent tins. I got mine from the sale so they were super cheap!
Interesting tin What is cake tin called metal non stick ? Grey one ☝️
Really useful
Not that I don't have them, but as non native English speaker, helps to name all the things I have in my drawers 😉
Where were you when I started baking as a hobby. 😔 This would have been helpful in the beginning and still is.
