I`m a culinary student and don`t have the money to buy your merch but I do make sure to watch every ad on your channel. Hopefully, that`s enough to help your channel.

PS: Loved the Red Velvet Cake 😍

The wife and I made this recipe for a birthday party, and it turned out amazing!! Actually better than what we’ve had in restaurants! Thanks Jemma! You’re amazing!!!

I have used your cupcake recipe for ages now and every time people compliment the texture and flavour. I ordered my son’s birthday cake from you this year and had a fan moment outside your wandsworth head quarters which is a stones throw from my house.
Love love love you and your cakes

I did this recipe yesterday 🤩🤩🤩 it was perfect! Apart from the icing it was good but few minutes after started decorate the cake, the icing was melting, maybe put in the fridge for few minutes before decorating would be easier, after I left the cake in the fridge it was perfect ! My friends loved! And I was so proud of myself, it was my first time baking and decorating a cake. It did take 3h, but in the end worth it!

I can't say how much I love this channel just because the measurements are given in metric system. Thanks for the recipe! Subscribed~

The red originally came from the reaction between the anthocyanin in the cocoa reacted with the baking soda and turned reddish. Nowadays cocoa is generally processed in a way that means this does not happen.

My house smells SOOOO good right now. I actually asked to make my own bday cake this year because I've had so much success with your recipes for family members and I've always wanted to make red velvet. I'm so excited about this. I did split the batter in half and do red and purple for the color, but other than that, no changes. So happy with this!

I have to admit, I was worried that this cake might be dense, but after making it and following everything to the ‘T’, this cake was absolutely scrumptious! It was light, fluffy and everything you’d want!
I made it for my family and after persistent demand had to make it again the next week.
Stay Safe guys!

I've never used cream cheese frosting on red velvet cake, the recipe I got back in the day used boiled milk or ermine frosting and I love it on red velvet's, it's delicious :)

[mitchellashley]

I have been making red velvet cake for years and the tip about the apple cider vinegar and the baking soda was very helpful! My cake came out taller than usual and was twice as moist! Thanks!

My Aunt use to make this cake for me every yr for my birthday, as it was my fave, this recipe is pretty much the same except her recipe calls for making a paste of the coloring with the cocoa. I'm 60 now an my Aunt is long gone, but I remember enjoying that cake like it was yesterday....edited to mention, she used boiled icing to top it off

I’ve been subscribed to your channel since it was 10k and it’s now 1M just felt so proud for some reason... maybe it’s just me😂😂😂

[CookingLessonsforDad]

I love how you used the cake crumbs to decorate! So easy!

[theunicahijaph]

I’ve been waiting for this for YEARS and it’s finally here. I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy about seeing a baking video 😭

[sleepingsugaaa]
