  • Thanks for watching this video! I'm so happy that these brand new recipes (to me) turned out! Here are a couple suggestions if you want to try making this one: only use a THIN layer of cream cheese frosting, and don't put a second layer of lemon curd on the top. In other words, this cake did not lack subtlety in flavor in anyway... ;) Less is more. Thank you to everyone who sent out the tools to make my baking experience easier and so much more fun! Love you all! ️ ~Laura

    In Dutch we don't say jinx, we say "citroen", which means lemon! Thought I'd say it because it fit the theme of the video so well :)

      Cool, with the "lemon" word and this episode being about lemons. What happens when one person who loses? Do they "owe you a coke" or something different?
      I love learning about other cultures. Thank you for mentioning this! ❤🙂🌱

    • @___Laura
      @___Laura 4 года назад +13

      If you are the last person to say citroen, you're then not allowed to speak anymore until someone says your name. If you do speak then the other person is allowed to hit you. Every family and friend group has different rules though, just like Aaron and Laura. They clearly still need to establish the jinxing rules in their marriage :')
      I also love learning about new cultures! American culture is really interesting, but it seems so non-foreign to me because American pop culture is so dominant here in Europe. It must be strange that as an American, you don't get this automatic exposure to another culture just by watching TV etcetera. RUclips changes that though, and I love that!

      Thank you for explaining that for me. Oh, I would lose in a minute or 2 at that game. I'm afraid I would be hit often!
      Haha
      Now, we have the slug bug game where the first to see a Volkswagon Beetle says slug bug. The one who doesn't see it first gets slugged in the arm. (Hit) That is what I thought of when I heard your explanation of the Citroen game. 😄

It’s really refreshing content to watch amongst a society desiring to only reveal what’s perfect. Anyway, I think I can taste that cake through the screen! It looks amazing! You could also make a yummy lemon pudding with those lemons too!

    I just made a lemon poppyseed cake! Must be the 'thing to do'! Just a tip for you. When putting the cream etc on the cake, have a jug of hot water and a tea towel handy. Dip the spatula into the hot water, wipe it with the tea towel, then spread the cream. the heat makes it spread easier. You can also dip the knife in the hot water to help cut the cake smoothly.

I mix recipes quite often. I'm a fan of lemon curd so this one is on the short list. I have two Meyer lemon trees and two dwarf red grapefruit. Thinking I may expand into limes this year. Love the drips on the recipes! Mine are like that as well. I love that you keep it real. Thanks for inspiring us. ❤️

Sometimes you'll have a double or multiple Jinxes where the two people will say "Jinx, you owe me a coke" at the same time. Then you will get or owe multiple cokes to whoever wins.

    Yum! That cake looks amazing! This was really fun to watch. Benjamin is so cute! You are thoughtful to bring everything outside and inside just to make it easier for us to watch! May I ask a silly question? Being that I've never been around chickens; do they get upset when you collect the eggs? I love fresh eggs. Our friend has chickens and gives us fresh eggs often. They are definitely more tasty than store-bought eggs! Your family is adorable Laura! Thanks for sharing these fun moments with us! 😀🍋🐔🌻

    The cake looks delish! And even if it hadn't turned out, it was nice to have witnessed the making. I learn all kinds of things from your videos: like layering paper around the edges of the plate when frosting a cake. I never thought of that... better than wiping off the plate afterwards.

    Oh my gosh, your cake sounds so yummy. I just bought a Meyer Lemon tree from my neighbors family of a friend who passed away in May from COVID19 which is very sad, but I'm thankful to have her meyer lemon tree to treasure for years to come. I'm originally from Michigan and 3 years new to Florida so I am having to learn all new plants and growing seasons which has been fun. I have a lime tree, mango tree, 5 fig trees, and a Calamandin orange tree that's producing very well this year. In May I made my first batch of orange marmalade using my Calamandin oranges and store bought oranges, and to my surprise it was very good. Using the 2 types of oranges gave me a sweet and sour flavor to my marmalade.
    Your next recipe using lemons will have to be Lemon Bars or Lemon Meringue pie (one of my favorites and one I plan to make when my tree produces).
    I've enjoyed watching and learning from your channel, and your a girl after my own heart. I've spent a great many hours working on my yard/garden since moving into my home over the last 3 years with only 3 trees and one double peach hibiscus. I pretty much started with a blank slate, I've done all the work myself and I'm still adding to my landscape every day. I am in the middle of a project presently. In my yard I've planted many plants for butterflies and bees, and currently have a Bluebirds nesting in one of my bluebird houses. And I can relate to those pesky gophers and moles how they tunnel and the mounds they make mess are such work to get rid of.
    If I have I ever made a trip up to your neck of the woods, I would love to visit your parents garden center and your beautiful home to do a tour as it's my kind of place.
    Thank you and Aaron for taking us along on your journey to making such a beautiful landscaped home.

    My friend gave me lemons off her tree, so yesterday I made lemon macarons with lemon curd and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream. They're chilling in the fridge as macarons have to be refrigerated overnight before you eat them. The Bavarian Cream looks intriguing. Thanks for sharing!

    We always said, " Jinx, you owe me a coke" ...and counted 1234.. and then when the person said stop they owed you the amount they stopped you at. lol We always tried to count super fast too! I thought Benjamin's reaction to the first bite of cake was super funny! Rubbing his face into the pillow was awesome!

    I'm so happy you're adding more citrus trees! Mine have already bloomed (they're located at North and South windows inside the house), I hand pollinated with a small paint brush and now I've got fruit growing! The scent of them blooming is so awesome... Try out the Oswari Satsuma (delicious fruit!) and mandarins. I've also got Ruby Red grapefruit (tart, not bitter, almost sweet and I peel them like an orange to eat them), Meyer lemon, Thornless Key Lime, Hamlin orange (super juicy), Washington navel and a blood orange. The mandarin I've had fruiting is a store bought tree, but I planted seeds from a tree in S. Georgia (I live near Atlanta) and keep them outside to see if they'll survive. So far, so good! They've lasted 3 years and are still alive and growing!

    Hi Laura! I know youve been doing this for years. But a little tip from a biology student here! Instead of scissors, use a very sharp blade to re-cut your cut-flowers :D When using scissors, you are at high risk of crushing the vascular tracts in the stem, which is what takes up water :) I would suggest using a wallpaper-knife instead, and cutting them on an 45 degree angle. Lots of love from a fellow garden lover from Norway!

    Loved it when Benjamin ran to take his grandmother’s hand. I miss my grandkids. Lemon anything is a hit with me so this was the trifecta of lemonyness. Yumm. King Arthur flour is the only flour I use as I’ve had fiascos happen with other brands. They have a consistent protein amount in their flours. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

    Here, in the Panhandle of Texas, I learned, "Jinx, you owe me a coke". If you are first to say jinx, that's all it takes.
    I have a friend who was born 14 years prior to me (I'm 58) and a little south of where I live (in a small farming community) and she says, "Pinch poke, you owe me a coke".
    I have never heard of the counting method. Sorry, I think I have to go with Aaron on this one. 🤣
    The cake looks yummy! It's funny that Aaron liked it so well and doesn't care for lemon cakes that much. Maybe, they weren't lemony/sweet in just the right measure for him. You made a face and he didn't.
    I have a Kitchen Aid that a dear friend gave me. I adore it and her for doing it! I would not spend that kind of money on myself but I am so thankful that she did it for me! ❤🙂

    We just say, "Jinx jinx you owe me a Coke". I didn't see in the video, but did you let Benjamin lick the Kitchen Aid beater? Growing up that was the best part of baking! Love your videos. You make me feel like I'm watching a lifelong friend - you are so genuine - especially loved the look on your face trying to decide if the cake was a hit
