Hi Gabby love you guys just a bit of advice my mum had a home bakery as we were growing up thankfully the tins were new and non stick but what my mum used to do was grease the tins and when taken out of the oven turned them upside down on a wire rack and let them cool great job though for first time youx look the image of my bestie and Tim is the image of my brother im sure it tasted yummy ✨☘️
You're exactly right about baking being therapeutic, when i was in a clinic being treated for depression we did baking for Occupational therapy and the highlight of my week was sharing the results of my efforts with the other patients and my visitors.
Just the fact that you attempted to make the cake showed how much you cared. It would have turned out just right if you had made the icing with icing sugar and water. I used to love to bake and cook and it is a good thing to do. Holly was really pleased and happy with the results which is the most important thing. Well done!
I musr say, although it usually seems to cost less to order a cake made by someone else, professionally, but that anonymity takes away the love of enjoying a cake made by a relative, so great choice to make it yourself, i must say i bet all your family enjoyed your cake all the more cos of the love and time u put into it.
You did a great job, Gabby! 💯 When I was growing up back in the 70’s & 80’s, my mother ran her own wedding cake business… she made the cakes from scratch and decorated them by hand. The stress and labor involved was incredible… her hands suffer from arthritis to this day from the decorating them with the icing bags & creating the icing flowers. Not to mention the logistics involved with transporting multi-layer cakes to the wedding venues and assembling and setting them up. My mom was raising three little girls while doing all that (!!) and I distinctly remember, there were a couple of bridezillas who were taking their lives into their own hands by trying to give my my mother a hard time. 😂
Thank you for putting this video up, I’m good at cooking but absolutely crap at making birthday cakes so this has given me hope , the cake looked so nice at the end, well done x
Well done Betty Crocker! sorry I mean Gaby 😂. Love those cake toppers. Won’t be able to make a cake now without thinking of the school sick bowl reference.
The Cake looks amazing Gabby you should be so proud of yourself, even when you didn't have the things you needed you kept your cool! Looked amazing well done! Hopefully more cakes and maybe more baking in your vlogs 🎉🎉
Well done Gaby👏You could have used the microwave to melt your butter, but you learn by your mistakes so keep going and get some more use out of those cake tins. It did look amazing, love the cake toppers and I'm sure it will taste delicious you should be proud 👍
Love a cakey bakery video! So glad you second guess and question everything, and then say "oh, s*d it, I'll just go with it" - I do the same! And when you do, it turns out really good, like yours did! Cheers Gaby!
Gaby I have to be honest but when you mentioned you were baking a cake for Holly’s birthday on the coffee morning I was thinking to myself “Oh No this ain’t going to end well” but you know what Gaby I am genuinely impressed and really proud of you for actually baking a cake with it looking so good and delicious. I agree them unique personalised cake toppers definitely set the cake off! Never seen anything like it before, my favourite is the Carkey which even had Ford on, detailing and branding was on point. I hope Holly had a fantastic birthday and enjoyed the cake. I think Great British Bake-off is calling you Gaby… 😉
@@GabyStarbuckx I always enjoy your videos. You have such a warm and cheerful personality. I love Tom’s videos too. You are a lovely couple and family 💖💕
WOW,Gaby well done on your 1st cake 🎂 baking, you really made me chuckle watching you, i was shouting instructions out,"grease the tins", use a plastic spatula not a knife, lol😅,but you did it your way, so well done you, it looked amazing with the cake toppers,proud of you girl, you'll be doing them lots now. Bet it tasted good too, hope Holly had a fab birthday,big love to all ❤xxx
I think you did so well Gaby, I'm proud of you! I feel your pain as I too, am not really a baker! The final outcome was stunning, perfect for Holly!! Hope it tasted yummy! ❤😋🎂
The cake turned out amazing, I bet it tasted great too 😋 your very welcome, I enjoyed making all of Holly's favourite things, looks like she had a great birthday 🎉
Well done on the cake Gaby, you're a natural! Hope Holly had a fabulous birthday 🎂 & thank you to the lovely person who gifted the membership, it was a nice bday pressie for me ❤👍🫶xx
Well done Gaby, it looked really great once it was decorated. Instead of faffing around for ages trying to melt the butter, you could have given it a quick zap in the microwave.
Gaby! We met today in M&P, it was sooooo lovely to meet you and Casper and of course Tim!! So i never knew you had your own account, so here i am giving you a follow…you had me laughing throughout this video! Love the realness..can totally relate!! 😅Cake looks fab!!! P.S hubby looking forward to his shout out 😂❤ xxx
Awww it was so lovely to meet you too and great to chat. Thanks so much for coming over and supporting I really appreciate that. I think most people have come from Tim’s lol. Glad you can relate I do tend to keep it real but not sure if I do myself any favours haha. We are all ready to shout his name out today 😁
We/everyone im sure loves you more for being real.. thanks for shout out my husband was buzzing and said ask them if they fancy a drink some time 😂❤ great to chat too, our little boys would have a fab time on a play date! X x x
Well done Gaby! I’m a bit of a homebaker and had to remind myself although I find it easy, not everyone does! Be glad I don’t try and copy your skill for singing- I’m awful 😂 will check out the toppers 😃
I absolutely love this vlog! I think your did such a good job there on making Holly birthday cake and they is always something what we could do to make it better for next time. You have done yourself well there on trying out something new and Holly birthday cake looks so amazing, can't believe she 19. It only feel like yesterday you did that mother and daughter vlog last year on Holly 18th birthday. 😃
It was a very good cooking day blog yesterday chilling out and relaxing making a birthday cake for Holly's 19th birthday well done gaby gaby and tim / holly and Casper aswell
Hi There's nothing so delicious as mum's cake Holly. 🎉Happy 19th birthday🎉 I can't believe the cake toppers were edible. What amazing people we have👏👏🩷
Hey Gaby, Thanks again, I meant hotmail note regarding baking tips:) I used to like to bake, but in the end, got to rewatch baking video and you did smashing, cause of all the main ingredient: Love!!!! Cheers!@@GabyStarbuckx
Hello Gabby how are you and Tim and baby Casper and Holly you did a very good job Victorian sponge is one of my favourite cakes happy birthday to holly hope that she has a good day much love to you all take care stay safe ❤😅😅
Hi Gaby. I'm a new follower. I loved this video, your cake looked so delish I really want a cake now lol I'm not keen on cooking but will give this a go for each of my 3 kids birthdays in March
I love baking cake or decorating cakes I'm going to make a cake for my son's birthday party for Feb 15th half term holidays. He is having a party on the 17th of Feb. It is a double celebration for my hubby and my son. I've organised a Hot wheels birthday party for my son for then. In the evening I'm go to have a quiet celebration with hubby.
Well done Gaby 😊 looked great and I'm sure Holly loved it. Did she have a nice birthday? Last year as a teen! Our eldest has just turned 10, it goes too quick 😂 ♥️ xxx
I think they say not to eat batter just to cover their backs and because in some countries the eggs aren’t pasteurised. As long as not pregnant or immunocompromised it’ll be ok
The real lazy way of melting the butter, is chucking it in the microwave. Just do it in little bursts of 20 seconds or so, as when it starts to melt it'll go to being fully liquid really quickly.

Great effort, and the best exciting part was you managed to get the cakes out of the tins!! 🎉 Well done!!
Thank you 😀

Just a bit of advice i melt butter in microwave and when pouring icing over the cake pour from the middle only great job ✨☘️
Great tip!
There's only one word I can think of...brilliant!!!! Happy belated birthday (again) Holly!
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful! Now I need cake! Happy birthday Holly! Great work Gaby!
Thanks so much! 😊
Just the fact that you attempted to make the cake showed how much you cared. It would have turned out just right if you had made the icing with icing sugar and water.

Cake looked amazing. Holly is a lucky girl. Hope she had a lovely Birthday. X

Hi Gaby. I'm a new follower. I loved this video, your cake looked so delish I really want a cake now lol
I'm not keen on cooking but will give this a go for each of my 3 kids birthdays in March

Sounds great! You must show me the cake x
you can do it kid I've got faith in you😅❤
🙏🙏🙏
Hi Gaby, are the cake toppers edible? You could always put the butter in the microwave to melt it next time! :)
Yes they are! Yeah I thought of that after lol
For future reference substitute butter for the oil and milk for the water to make the cake more like a made from scratch cake
Great tip
Well done on holly’s birthday cake. The end results looked amazing.. hope it tasted good?
Yes! Thank you! It’s all gone lol
❤❤ well xx
Just a small tip Gaby - melt your butter in the microwave 😊 it would only need 30sec . Great effort though and the toppers looked great xx
Thanks for the tip! Definitely will next time
Thank you Tim @WalkWithMeTim for my membership.
Your welcome Dawn
Well done Gaby 😊 looked great and I'm sure Holly loved it. Did she have a nice birthday? Last year as a teen! Our eldest has just turned 10, it goes too quick 😂 ♥️ xxx
Oh it does only seems like yesterday Holly was a baby in my arms.. why does time go so fast
The Singing Cake Maker Strikes Again ! Is no cake safe ?!* 🙄🤪🤔
Lol
I think they say not to eat batter just to cover their backs and because in some countries the eggs aren’t pasteurised. As long as not pregnant or immunocompromised it’ll be ok
Good job really because I ate some lol
All of those I ingredients cost more than just buying a cake 🤣 I've tried making bread and it was an absolute disaster, I'll leave it to the pros!
Yeah your actually right
You meant to put the Jam on first then the Icing Gaby
Oh I didn’t know that
The real lazy way of melting the butter, is chucking it in the microwave. Just do it in little bursts of 20 seconds or so, as when it starts to melt it'll go to being fully liquid really quickly.
Got you… I’m going it next time
Ignore that first comment Gabby I meant to say you, you cracked it
Haha didn’t see the first I can only imagine haha
Do you like your velvetiser (don’t know if I’ve spelt it right) so enjoy your vlogs
Yeah I love it use it every night
I made Victoria Sponge with my mate Anthony last week Gaby Starbuck
Did it turn out well
You NEED to apply for bake off 😅
Amazing cake, how did it taste in the end? ❤️
Awesome lol
