  1. lovely cake. but it's insane to think any non-baker or average person will pull this off. that sponge, is difficult…anyone who's ever watched british bake off, will know… slight over cook will be rubbery, or crack, meringue is something people fuck up all the time, and different elements need it. even cooking that sugar is tricky.

    would be interesting to see some sorta "nailed it" user submissions. but Claire makes it look easy. although, like with the frosting we all know she's internally self critical.

  2. You're simply the best! I love how you can turn simple ingredients into something so delicious. Your culinary skills are simply unmatched! ???????????? And I hope you'll comment on our cooking soon too! Sending you a kiss!

  3. Love the video but please I hate coffee I think chocolate tiramisu would be awesome. Just an idea????????

  4. It was on my to do list since i saw it on patreon but now i must do it soon. Seems so fun and love the technical parts that come together

  5. “Folding is important for not deflating those air bubbles”.

  6. Love, LOVE , LOOOOVEEEE this soooo much!! Congrats with your wedding Vinny! And Claire, another stand up job with the wedding cake. Y'all are all great. Keep it up!

  7. In such a complicated cake I love Claire specifying what we can and can't do ahead because I would never think about something done ahead going bad like the egg yolks for the pastry cream!

  8. Oh man, a video that comes with a disclaimer from Claire is not something I was ready for but excited to tackle myself ????

  9. Congrats ???????????? Vinny! That cake looks delicious! Thank you I entered the giveaway! ♥️
