Even when I’m feeling really down grace’s optimism and positive vibes give me a little lift. No purer human being exists and we need more grace’s in the world
@@judykeown ooooo I don't know! I'll have to go back through videos and see if grace says, she might have said it in her video where she showed photos and I think someone asked for a picture of banksy as a kitten :) I'll check though
We once saw Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen when we were on holiday in Wales and my mum got so excited and distracted by him, she fell over and had to go to hospital for stitches!!
lol. I once saw Hugh Ferley Witthingstall (or whatever his full name is) in a Muji shop in London and a few minutes later, Stephen Merchant running away from a tube station. I could barely contain myself. My husband told me we weren’t allowed back in London if I misbehaved again. lol
My FAVE! Anyone else only have notifications turned on for Grace? Thank you for always being so authentic and motivating me to stay true to myself for my own account. KEEP BEING AWESOME! ❤️
Every time Grace goes to London I get such an urge to visit and fond memories of my visit back in 2006. If only I didn’t live in Australia, wasn’t poor and Covid wasn’t a thing.
So glad you recommended Jane’s patisserie recipes to us! I’m a shocking baker but made their recipe of chocolate cake for my mums birthday and everyone was very impressed. Especially with my track record😂
Im not sure if its just a Los Angeles thing but here we've got family run donut shops in every street corner. Dunkin and Krispy Kreme are very rare here since those mom and pop shops are usually 10x better and dont have the chemical processed taste that the big franchises have. They are a local treasure for sure.
It’s the same where I live in WI. The chains are not good, mom and pops are where it is at. Even the grocery store chains have been donuts than Dunkin.
They are bad in the usa for sure but i also tasted dunkin and krispy creme in germany. Those donuts were so freaking nice. 10 times better then dunkin and krispy in usa. Think they just make them different here in europe
We have almost none of these flavors at Dunkin in the US! lol we have the strawberry glazed, boston cream, and donut holes which we call munchkins. jealous of these fun flavors, we do get seasonal fun flavors though
I was going to say the same thing. I live in the Boston area and Dunkin Donuts is pretty big around here, but we don't have those flavors. If anything, they've cut way down on the selection.
@@strangeland4062 Is it me or did the Boston cream donut look different? The chocolate looked harder and darker but maybe it's just the camera. I do like seeing what's the same and what's different depending on where the store is.
been obsessed with your videos lately!! your personality is so genuine and wholesome. also, this video is making me want donuts 👀 p.s. you should try Tim Hortons in another video! (it would make my Canadian heart happy 😊)
I haven't kept up with the videos the past few months because of school, but our academic year's going to end in a week or two. Can't wait to binge watch your videos again soon! P.S. I love how filled the comment section is with positive comments. It hasn't even been an hour! :D
If you want exceptional donuts in the UK you have got to try a place called Doughnotts. They're based in the Midlands with only 3 stores (Nottingham, Lincoln and Leicester) but do nationwide delivery as a result of lockdown! The donuts are real chunky bois and some of the flavours are just to die for 😍🤤🤤
I would really love to see a video about your favourite places in London. All your London shots are just so stunning! Favourite areas or streets, favourite (food?) shops, nice restaurants or bakeries (possibly even vegan friendly. That would be a hit!) I really love and appreciate your content. Best wishes, a usually silent viewer 💛
Don't forget about the English staple, the custard doughnut. Morrisons doughnut game is pretty strong right now too. They have chocolate orange, pink lemonade and salted caramel ones. Only 50p for 5 as well!
You can buy a set of measuring cups in basically any supermarket or homeware shop in the UK...they are a specific size, and really useful! Although I guess technically with cup measurements it’s about the ratio of ingredients rather than amount so you could use any cup really
For your shopping days out in London you should get a Pack-It grocery bag. There is a built in freezable ice pack so you just put it in the freezer over night & it will keep your groceries cold on the way home. I didn't see a po box or I would send you one. They're perfect for trips out like this & I love mine.
Omg finally I’ve seen someone put Nutella on the right way!! With NO BUTTER!!!!! Also I left a video idea a few vids back can you do a good challenge of buying from the “too good to go” app and transforming it to a completely different meal, like from the show on Netflix called best leftovers ❤️
Exactly. You get a giant iced coffee with a breakfast sandwich or if you really have to get a donut you get a jelly, an old fashioned, or a chocolate cake donut.
so in the US we use cup measurements and it doesn't mean an arbitrary amount, like what you mean when you say handful. It means 8 ounces (again, an American measuring unit). It's a set amount haha.
What you called a "jam donut" is actually a dividing food in Germany. In a lot of places it is called a "Berliner" but in Berlin it is called a "Pfannkuchen". Which in most parts of Germany is the word for pancake but in Berlin you call a pancake "Eierkuchen" (word by word translation: egg cake). Also the "jam donuts" are called "Krapfen" in the south of Germany. This concludes my little rant of how jam donuts and pancakes are called in Germany and if any non Germans could follow this explanation I am impressed.
Love all your videos! Just wanted to mention for cup measurements you can actually get measuring cups so that you dont use any random cup. Most recipes are usually referencing using measuring cups and they usually come in a set of 4 (1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4cup). You'll find them at most kitchen stores or just on amazon.
I'm Dutch and also prefer recipes that work with grams and ml, but cups and spoons work with standard measurements and you can just buy a set of spoons and use your measuring cup that you'd use to measure amounts of fluids instead of a set of cups if you don't want to invest in those. What's 1 cup for me is one cup for everyone else.
Yes I don’t understand the issue with using cup measurements, granted they are different across countries, but if you know which country the recipe is from you know much a cup is.
as a floridian i feel like that was a lot of donut flavours! but yeah we all know that we aren’t going to dunkin for great donuts and coffee, but it’s cheaper than starbucks and their breakfast sandwiches are chefs kiss
I’m so grateful for your video today Grace, I’m having a really lousy day with my mental and physical health and your videos always cheer me up 😀 God Bless you and your family 😘❤️
We use cups for measuring in Australia too but they’re a slightly different amount to the US cups, but as long as you know which country the recipe is from you can work out how much you need for a cup
I'm from the States and I have heard many from the U.K. comment on how "American" chocolate has a slight after-taste of vomit. I really want to visit the U.K. so I can taste of this vomit-less chocolate I've heard tale of!
@@Travlar haha that's so interesting, I haven't heard that.. I think she was mainly referring to white chocolate?! I would say that American chocolate is more waxy than vomity hahah.. the first time I tried Hershey's it was utter disappointment, cause I'd seen and heard about it so much, I thought it must be amazing, and mehh.. buut I had it years later again, and thought it was yummy so idk what happened :D
@@-michaela- LOL. Hershey's is not my favorite, but that is the brand that most refer to when speaking about "American" chocolate. But I still want to visit the U.K. if for nothing else but to just sit at a Cafe and have conversations with the locals!
@@Travlar they say Hershey's chocolate taste like vomit, there's a video about it on yt if you look it up, I think it's because of an ingredient they put in...
You need to try crosstown donuts and bread ahead donuts!! both in London!!!.. also heard of a donut place in London Bridge market thats hidden somewhere, apparently its amazing too
Little donuts are called munchkins. Your flavors are a bit different then here. Try a whoopie pie. So good. A real Boston cream pie is good if you like yellow cake and cream. With a fudge like frosting.
Cherry and almond jam is the BEST jam if you’ve never tried it!! I can’t remember where I bought it but honestly it’s like cherry bakewell as a jam it’s amazing
grace you should really try to get your hands on a set of american measuring cups, because they're standardized. when a recipe calls for a cup of something they don't just mean any random cup, they mean a standardized american 8oz measuring cup
Hey😊 even if she uses the standardised cup measurements the tecnique used to fill the cup can yeild different amounts. If you spoon the flour or ingredient in to the cup measurement, it will be aerated and have less flour. However, if you scoop the flour straight out of the bag with the cup measurement it will be more compacted and therefore have more flour in the cup. Using grams reduces this margin for error. Hope this clears the cup vs weight debate.
@@graceschammer6384 I mean, it's not a debate, I'm just saying that if she did get a set of standardized american measuring cups she'd be able to make recipes without having to convert them. gram measurements are always going to be more accurate, but if you use a standardized cup and fill it the way you're meant to (which is whatever way does not compact the ingredient, unless otherwise stated, like you said) then you should get generally the same result as the author of the recipe.
In the US we have 2 kinds of doughnuts the yeast raised doughnuts and the cake doughnuts. Oddly enough my favorite is malasadas from Hawaii, but they are very hard to find.
It's so weird that in England you go down the stairs on the left? In North America you do down the right cause that's how we drive. Didnt know it applied to stairs too!
A word on the Boston Cream donut: It is based on the dessert Boston Cream Pie, which is actually a cake lol. I know...crazy! But it's a real rich custard filling between 2 buttery cake layers with just a round disk of chocolate on the top layer. Seriously. Now what I prefer is the twist on the elements known as an eclair. Using the best buttery custard in a flakey pastry, topped with quality chocolate icing, a great eclair will melt in your mouth. Hope this gives you some good info. Great review of DDs, Grace!
I am jealous you have a Dunkin there! We have NONE in the whole state of South Dakota, USA. Closest one is over 6 hours away and I really miss their blueberry vanilla iced coffee extra extra
The “donut holes” are called “munchkins” here in the US (especially where I’m from- New England). And for the record, I don’t believe we have Biscoff anything here- edit: apparently you can buy it on Amazon (big surprise).
I live in NY and loooove Dunkin. We don’t have Rocky Road, White Chocolate, Biscoff (sounds amazinggg), Creme Brûlée, Coffee, strawberry (creme filled) or the “cartoon donut.” We have the chocolate cream equivalent during Valentine’s Day and it’s shaped like a heart! ❤️🍩
When I lived in the UK for 6 months, I tried Dunkin donuts for the first time. There was a sale for if you buy 2 boxes of 12, you get the other one for free. So with my friend we each got one box. I ate the whole box that day, and never felt that sick lol. And never had Dunkin donuts ever since 😂😂😂
The main problem is a cup measure allows more variation. I could pack the flour in, and somebody else could keep it fairly loose, resulting in different amounts / weights of flour for one baker versus another. As baking is precise, it's much better to have a recipe in weights
Here in America, it really depends what time of day you buys the donuts. When they’re freshly baked they are pillowy and soft and melt in your mouth. Otherwise they are more bread like and not so good.
Interesting to see the UK version of DD, here in the US MY FAV DD donut was not in your box, it's a powdered donut w/WHITE CREAM filling. I wish they would make this w/just the white cream inside and a drizzle of chocolate on top, because w/the powdered sugar, it's just too sweet for me. If I can remember Krispy Kreme made just the glazed donut (they opened about a MILLION stores here in the US, then they all closed quite swiftly, now you cannot find but one or two per city). #odd LOVE seeing your London travels and you trying all the bits & bobs on offer! #subscribed
Idk if you have this bakery near by but I have local bakery called "bird's bakery" and there egg custards and custard donuts are lush! And they're choux buns are huge, would highly recommend!
Love Olaplex! The parrot guy... iconic! Fortnum is 5/5 at Christmas. There's a converter online I like for cups to grams, one of the first that comes up when searched for.
I feel the need to comment on the donuts...each Dunkin Donuts store is different. The filling looks low on some of them, and they only carry about 5 types of filling so you're not likely going to get much variety with limited equipment. The chocolate munchkins are cake based, while the glazed is a yeast based (hence the bread texture). I've never made any of those specialty donuts you tried, but Americans at my store tend to only like the same classics like bismark and boston creme. Never did creme brulé or that Apple filled one, only apple fill I do is the fritters and apple n spice (cinnamon sugar powdered). Colored icing is usually white vanilla icing with food coloring. Only the pink icing is flavored for strawberry. The only donut actually baked are glazed ones, just to melt the glaze. Otherwise it would take an entire day (24 hours) to make 100+ dozen donuts from scratch, every night. It's a fun job, so long as everything is working, the just-brought-in-inventory isn't in your way, and you don't get held up taking supplies to a neighboring store because someone forgot to order enough to get them through the week.

Honestly no one I know goes to Dunkin Donuts for the donuts 😂 only for the coffee
They have bad donuts.
Their donuts used to be really good. Of course, that was probably 10-15 years ago when you could get a dozen for $5.99 with a coupon.
Just like Tim Hortons!
Exactly. You get a giant iced coffee with a breakfast sandwich or if you really have to get a donut you get a jelly, an old fashioned, or a chocolate cake donut.
I agree. All the donuts are pre-made and merely for fast food purposes. Not made for order or fresh each day.

When I lived in the UK for 6 months, I tried Dunkin donuts for the first time. There was a sale for if you buy 2 boxes of 12, you get the other one for free. So with my friend we each got one box. I ate the whole box that day, and never felt that sick lol. And never had Dunkin donuts ever since 😂😂😂
omg love the dalmatian print on your bedroom wall Grace, sooo cute!!
Im confused. Does Grace know cups is an actual measurement and not just whatever cup or mug you have in your cupboard?
The main problem is a cup measure allows more variation. I could pack the flour in, and somebody else could keep it fairly loose, resulting in different amounts / weights of flour for one baker versus another. As baking is precise, it's much better to have a recipe in weights
Is say so since she literally has a baking degree lmao
That Dunkin' Donuts Box reveal made my mouth water like HELL... ohmygoooooood! 🤤🤤🤤
Love waking up at 4am just to watch your video early 🤍
Here in America, it really depends what time of day you buys the donuts. When they’re freshly baked they are pillowy and soft and melt in your mouth. Otherwise they are more bread like and not so good.
Thank you so much for the work you do with your videos! I should say this more often.
Grace!!! I’ve just seen someone on This Morning make a ‘Sandwich Cake’ please try this!!!
Jane's Patisserie always has amazing looking recipes! I think she has a cookbook coming out too.
Interesting to see the UK version of DD, here in the US MY FAV DD donut was not in your box, it's a powdered donut w/WHITE CREAM filling. I wish they would make this w/just the white cream inside and a drizzle of chocolate on top, because w/the powdered sugar, it's just too sweet for me. If I can remember Krispy Kreme made just the glazed donut (they opened about a MILLION stores here in the US, then they all closed quite swiftly, now you cannot find but one or two per city). #odd LOVE seeing your London travels and you trying all the bits & bobs on offer! #subscribed
'I hate cup measurements' ahhh yes a true baker! ;) I'm with you girl! Cup measurements are so inaccurate.
you’re style is so much like alexa chung’s, it’s taken me so long to work it out. icons
Idk if you have this bakery near by but I have local bakery called "bird's bakery" and there egg custards and custard donuts are lush! And they're choux buns are huge, would highly recommend!
VIDEO IDEA rating or recreating my subscribers childhood birthday cakes!!
Grace: doughnut game in the UK is not strong
Doughnut time: are we a joke to you 😭
Isn't Doughnut time really pricey?
Love Olaplex! The parrot guy... iconic! Fortnum is 5/5 at Christmas. There's a converter online I like for cups to grams, one of the first that comes up when searched for.
I feel the need to comment on the donuts...each Dunkin Donuts store is different. The filling looks low on some of them, and they only carry about 5 types of filling so you're not likely going to get much variety with limited equipment.
The chocolate munchkins are cake based, while the glazed is a yeast based (hence the bread texture).
I've never made any of those specialty donuts you tried, but Americans at my store tend to only like the same classics like bismark and boston creme. Never did creme brulé or that Apple filled one, only apple fill I do is the fritters and apple n spice (cinnamon sugar powdered).
Colored icing is usually white vanilla icing with food coloring. Only the pink icing is flavored for strawberry.
The only donut actually baked are glazed ones, just to melt the glaze. Otherwise it would take an entire day (24 hours) to make 100+ dozen donuts from scratch, every night.
It's a fun job, so long as everything is working, the just-brought-in-inventory isn't in your way, and you don't get held up taking supplies to a neighboring store because someone forgot to order enough to get them through the week.
