1:45 So true Jemma!! All professional pastry chefs/bakers (in the US) use scales for sure! Baking is a science and requires accuracy. One person who measures a cup of flour will be different from someone else's measure of the same thing. But 200g of flour is always 200g of flour no matter who measures it as long as it's done on a digital scale.

"Can you do this in cups.... NO I CAN'T." Jemma, your vids will always be great and your recipes so original! And we would completely understand if you are taking a break, people forget that youtubers have a private and busy life too!

[naydaro]

Honestly, as an American, now that I've been doing regular cooking using a scale I could never DREAM of baking using cups or without a scale. It is so much more accurate to use the scale and there's WAY less mess to clean up!

[losangalex]

I bought a scale a few years back, grudgingly, because I felt like I would never use it. I use it for EVERYTHING— even when I sell things online and I have to figure out postage. I love your videos. You are so bright and entertaining. Thank you for all you do.

[angelmommy]

My sweet 6 year old daughter and I would always watch your videos. We made so many of your cupcakes together. I’m so grateful for those memories 💗sing with the angels my amazing daughter. I miss my little helper

[ashantishurat]

I feel like since you have started editing yourself your videos are a bit more personal, and I love it! Keep doing what you're doing Jemma!

JEMMA YOU'RE PSYCHIC I literally just went to the store to buy eggs and almond flour because I want to make macarons for my friend's birthday ARE PERFECT

[janetmartin]

I got an electronic scale a couple of years ago and it’s fabulous...I got a recipe from a local restaurant for breakfast cookies (secret ingredient: bacon!!) and it was all in grams and such. Easy to convert and they are the most spectacular cookies...currants, pecans, mini chocolate chips, oatmeal. Love your creations...YUM!

[danielrogers]

Amen metric system🙋🏼‍♂️
I'm talking meters, I'm talking grams and I'm talking liters💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼 whoop whoop
Also degrees Celsius deserves a shout out too🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️

Also I love you and I'll definitely be trying this after I'm done with my exams❤️

16 minutes of Jemma??? forget sleep i'm here!

[apwhoa]

Please do not even think of doing a conversion. How will we ever learn if we do not start somewhere? Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and process. 💜

I have watched this video a couple of times now as I love the recipe and honestly that "NO" at 2:04 kills me every time!!! Please forever keep that sass Jemma <3 was in your shop recently with my husband and we each bought one of your cupcakes and sat together in awed silence at the amazing flavours and textures!!! And he not-so-sneakily gifted me a set of CupcakeJemma oven mitts which I just adore!! Thank you and your whole team for all the effort you guys go to on a daily basis to make amazing treats for us :)

Love it! Loved the luxury of a longer vid! There was one spot, piping the macs onto the baking sheet, where you say it’s the tricky part. But then the vid speeds through the whole process. It would have been really helpful to see a few of them at real speed.

I tried your Macarons after watching your Masterclass. It was my second try on Macarons and they came out perfectly! I made the passionfruit ganache Dane was talking about. I was literally in love with those Macarons. Thank you for your really good explanations and I am looking forward to lots more great flavour ideas :)

[Canuckmom]

Love your attitude, Jemma. Buy a scale, people. Your Master Class with "Macaron Dane" is fantastic, and Dane's Macaron Snowmen were beyond adorable. You are so kind to share your recipes, techniques and talented staff with us.

[karennetherland]

I enjoy learning a new way to bake by using grams. I bought a nice electronic scale and things come out perfect. I'm trying Dane's chocolate caramel ones and now adding these to the list. Thank you Jemma 💗

[KiraiBK]

Buying a kitchen scale was the best thing I’ve done. I use it much more often than I thought I would. I think anyone truly into baking should get a scale.

[samanthahull]

Love your stance on conversions! Who on earth would comment on a video and wait for the response instead of just looking it up online? Doy.

[CrystalLyfoung]

I'm an American and I've got a scale! It's super helpful. 😁

"Can you do this in cups? NO, I CAN'T" -- Thanks you! I hate when people write his recipes in cups... GEEZZ
