I'm with you! Saw him for the first time by chance and now I am hooked also. he's great. Informative, east to watch and learn and he is delightful!! Thanks
after bing watching almost all your videos i went and bought so much baking supplies and i am determined to make my mother a birthday cake. Pray for me!
I concur!! John could of very easily edited out, but he didn't! Which makes me love him even more!! We're all human and make funny mistakes sometimes. I had my self a little giggle, because I've done that before! Getting ready to make this cake, except without elder berry syrup.
Like so many others I came across John by accident. Ithink he is great and so funny. I laughed out loud when the tea towel ended up in the bowl. I will definitely try this cake, but not sure about the roses, he makes it look so simple.
When I started watching the French Chef several years ago, I was amazed by how much I learned from these old shows. Julia was so careful to show each step in a process and often times repeated them. I feel the same watching your videos; you're a terrific teacher. Thanks for posting these videos.
LOVE how thorough you are!!!!! all the temperature details and steps including when to add certain ingredients are SO vital in baking!!! and unfortunately usually left out in other tutorials. plus all the little scientific facts about reactions and consequential results are always appreciated!! lol you're awesome!!!!
Your inspiring me to wanna take a baking & pastry class. I love how you teach, your personality & just your patience. I love the fact that you show how much you love what you do.
Perfect lemon curd. I did it today and everyone loved it. I love the richness of details you give. This trick of pipping a "fence" for the curd is so nice. Tks!
Here in Germany we don't have cake flour but what you can do is for every cup you can remove a teaspoon of flour and replace it with corn starch. This will give more of a fluffy texture. In additions I've had a lot of success with adding an additional half teaspoon of Natron (in America you all call it baking soda). Typically then my cakes here in Germany come out like his do in the photos.
Elder grows wild here in the US. I see it all the time here in IN. If you feel adventurous, you could collect the flowers and make your own elder flower syrup.
Can I just say how happy it makes me to see such joy from your meringue peaks! I’ve never attempted a meringue buttercream before, but your enthusiasm has inspired me💕
Thank you for not editing out the goofs. It is so much more inspiring to watch you deal with mistakes and move on rather thinking everything has to go perfectly.
Sir, you are hilarious! Your decorating is art, but baking is so much a science. Your background (art major and math/science teacher) makes you the perfect presenter for this subject. I have a similar background to yours and I never saw something I couldn’t bake. However, it really helps to have an example such as you provide.
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation! I love how you stayed calm and optimistic if a subscriber makes a mistake, and ways to repair and go on. I may even attempt to make this cake!
Wonderful! Thank you for all you wonderfully clear and well thought out steps. I absolutely pack my stand mixer with frozen peas everytime I make buttercream now. So helpful!
Your video had come in my suggestions and I have to say, it was the *best* suggestion ever! I absolutely love your videos! You're always so cool and I love the way you present yourself, simply awesome 😊
I LOVE watching you cook! All the quirky things you do (tasting everything) I do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your German chocolate cake recipe!
I love all your cakes!!! I have been followed your channel and makes cakes with your recipes! I got many compliments because it's all delicious! and now it's going to be my wedding soon. Me and my fiancé are looking for the cake for our wedding ...this cake will be just perfect! Thank you John!!
Wow you are a awesome baker and teacher. I’ve been watching various baking demonstrations and let me tell you, I’ve learned so much. Your Carmel, Lemon Curd, and many more recipes I’ve been able to duplicate or make. You are the BOM.
I enjoy your videos so much. I'm taking on the task to make my own wedding cake and have just begun to research it all out. Your videos are easy to follow, you are very good at explaining every step with reasons not a "just because".
I just love watching your videos and have learned a lot! You are so relaxed and so enjoyable to watch with including all your messiness. I lol when the towel got caught in your mixer. All your cakes are so beautiful and you make them so easy to make. I am going to make a test run of the Royal Wedding Cake so I can make it for my daughter's first baby shower in May 2019. Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge and recipes!!
absolutely stunning, & your roses are perfect. I loved the tea towel with the mixer situation! Gave me a much needed laugh today, so bless you for leaving that in the finished video! Love your channel. :O)
That's what make you so enjoyable to watch because you are so down to earth and not trying to act like you don't make any mistakes. Thanks for being you!
Just gorgeous and thanks for the tip about the extra-stiff buttercream for the flowers! I kept making them with regular soft buttercream and would have to refrigerate and/or freeze the flowers and worry about when they came to room temp and wilted 🥀
Just so scrumptious. I luv Elder Flower, and 🍋 in this Cake. It like it melts in ur mouth. U r just so darn Fabulous. I want to be like u when I grow up John. Thank u so much for SHARING!
Huge fan! The Royal Wedding Cake was a huge hit. Making it again for a dinner next week. I have to increase the recipe because my cakes are usually 8" or 9". Keep up the great work!
I love that you didn’t EDIT the Towel situation. . Make you REAL and entertaining, but also you baking looks Unreal and wonderfully perfect . Cheers Nancy
I love watching your baking videos! Your passion and love during doing things is awesome! I love baking with you 😊 thank you for your recipes, tricks and baking passion 🌸
Wow. How expensive would that be if you bought that at a bakery? I probably would value that around 300 dollars myself (though I am not a professional baker yet) but its amazing that you teach people how to make stuff as amazing as this. Thank you.
You're one of the reasons why I started baking which I never thought I would be so into! Could you do some videos on no bake cakes?? Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Also, thank you so much! I was able to make this cake for my friend’s birthday (It was a total fail xD) But you are such an inspiration and have so much talent and such a good attitude towards failure (the tea towel xD) And you’ve actually re-sparked an old dream of mine, so thank you again!!!
I'm so in love with your channel. I clicked on your little pumpkin cakes video and I've been watching you for two days now. I just want to come and hang out with you and bake stuff all day!!
Wow. U inspire me alot. Yesterday I made lemon pineapple cake with lemon curd. That was really sunshine in my mouth. U make all this seems so easy and feasible. Thx for your videos
Hey John. I enjoy watching your videos!, when something unexpected occurred in the kitchens it's make me feel ugle but seeing you keep the calm is something that make me feel well. Thank for share!
I love how you said it can be made the day before! help with time management,, who has time to bake the day of when you are throwing a party. Thanks a bunch!
Your videos are such a treat. I love your personable style of teaching and your sense of humor- these make your expertise shine! Lovely cake! I looove all things lemon, and elderflower is such a delicate, pleasant flavor!
I have no idea why you don't have more subscribers/views. your cakes look really good and tasty and all of your tips are just really helpful. I really hope you'll get the recognition you deserve.
I really like watching your videos. I found you just today and I'm so blown away. I already ordered my baking stripes!! I'm so excited at the discovery. I'll try these recipes pretty soon! Thanks for sharing.
I clearly do not possess the skills to master this! I have no artistic abilities but what a beautiful creation! You are truly an artist with a gift!! Thank you for these videos! The Royal Family should hire you!
WOW? I LOVE THIS CAKE, AND THIS IS ONW I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE CAKE RECIPE AND NOT JSUT AN ORDINARY CAKE THANKS FOR SHARING FINALLY I FOUND IT THE BEST CAKE I WANT TO LEARN
You are so personable and fun to watch. I read about this cake and now I will make it. I will even buy a cake decorating set. Thanks for the info about the cake rings too. That has always been a problem for me.
Been trying to decide what to make for my friends wedding cake....you've just answered that for me 🥰 also thanks for keeping in the tea towel event.... hilarious 🤣
Preppy Kitchen Yes. Only just recently subscribed and I'm so glad I found you. I use your White Cake Recipe as my go to recipe and I've made your Tiramisu Sheet Cake. Both absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work!!
My day won’t be complete if I couldn’t watch a video of yours. Even if I watched it already I keep watching over and over. You inspired me a lot. I wish i can afford to have those kitchen gadgets, not all off course because it’s pricey.😀😀😀
Was having a bad day, started watching ur videos... then the tea towel mishap happens lol, just lightened my mood & made my day! Thx for not editing & keeping it real, u rock 🥰🥰🥰
Lol I’ve never seen you do something like that before ( tea towel incident ) made me feel ok with some really serious blunders I have once in a while. Your videos are my new addiction and I learn so much. Thank you.
I was trying to figure out what type of cake to bake for my 50th birthday and then I saw your video. I'm going to bake this cake. It's perfect and I love lemon. I love your videos and your energy. I'm messy too. My kids always complain until they eat whatever I'm cooking and there is complete silence. LOL!
That was too funny with the towel! Sorry did not mean to laugh but you make me feel you are so relatable. I love your tutorials. Your flowers are amazing!! I wish mine would come out like that. You make it look so easy. The cake is beautiful!
I agree that his voice is somehow comforting he could have a 2d career narrating audiobooks! Does anyone else sometimes hear children in the background? I hope so as he seems to possess perfect parenting traits.
i'm so addicted watching your videos! You are so relaxed all the time! And your cakes are all amazing!
Gwenny Salazar me too!
I am obsessed as well... it’s like culinary lessons.. except he is FUN😁😋
I'm with you! Saw him for the first time by chance and now I am hooked also. he's great. Informative, east to watch and learn and he is delightful!! Thanks
Ditto
Gwenny Salazar....RIGHT!!!!👏👏👍👍👏👏👨🍳❤️👨🍳❤️👨🍳👍👏👍👌♥️👌♥️👨🍳
after bing watching almost all your videos i went and bought so much baking supplies and i am determined to make my mother a birthday cake. Pray for me!
Update: a total fail. Send help!
Practice makes perfect! You learn so much every cake you make. Try making a chocolate cake. They’re more versatile and forgiving. Good luck!
Yasmin Alvarez hahaha girl you’re amazing! I was like oh man I hope she updates how it went and BAM! U did. Thank u! Sorry it didn’t work out tho :(
Awwww at least you tried. Always do a practice run before the big event....you'll get it next time
Keep practicing! it will be so rewarding when you"ll succeed!
I lovwe that you did not cut out the whole towel in the mixer.. It is wonderful to see that we all make mistakes now & then.
I concur!! John could of very easily edited out, but he didn't! Which makes me love him even more!! We're all human and make funny mistakes sometimes.
I had my self a little giggle, because I've done that before!
Getting ready to make this cake, except without elder berry syrup.
Like so many others I came across John by accident. Ithink he is great and so funny. I laughed out loud when the tea towel ended up in the bowl. I will definitely try this cake, but not sure about the roses, he makes it look so simple.
Totally agree - I love how he lets us laugh with him! He is just precious!
I love....thanks
Totally agree. This really made him so relatable. Fan for life!

Preppy Kitchen youre so welcome 😁❤
Totally agree
My puppy heard your babies and came running into the room, sat down, looked around, and then started howling. So cute!
I have 3 kids 3 and under. Just put them all to bed before watching this. I had to keep stopping it because I thought it was my babies lol
I heard the babies too! Thought I was losing my mind
Lmao. I love how messy you are! So relatable. My mum hates when i bake - the whole kitchen becomes a mess!
Preppy Kitchen lol same! I just wish there was like a film i could put on the whole kitchen and peal it off and chuck it in the bin when i was done 😄
Omg....I feel like he's the total opposite. I don't see many bakers who work as clean as this guy.
PatisserieBoy lol really?
My wife disliked it also. She decorated and made beautiful flowers; I couldn't do that.
Vi Ma disliked what?
Your inspiring me to wanna take a baking & pastry class. I love how you teach, your personality & just your patience. I love the fact that you show how much you love what you do.

You inspired me. I'm gonna try it soon. Looks so delicious, I love lemon curd and lemony desserts. Thanks for the recipe and the great tips.
Thank you for saying we can substitute orange or any other fruit for the curd as I do not like lemon in baking, yes, that's what I said. Just me!
The real question here is how does a cake baker stay in such good shape?
That's what I'm saying
I was wondering too
That's my question too. The same goes for Yolanda on How to Cake it.
It's simple... Everything in moderation and exercise
I love baking but I don’t have a sweet tooth so my friends and family are the ones mainly eating what I make
Jon should make just a bloopers video!!!! This one and the 6inch cake falling always make me laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂 besides learning baking tips
Small kitchen appliances may become violent.😉
The tea towel; so real 😊
I clearly do not possess the skills to master this! I have no artistic abilities but what a beautiful creation! You are truly an artist with a gift!! Thank you for these videos! The Royal Family should hire you!

dhaynes1997 Hello DHaynes, was wondering if you’ve tried this recipe yet?
That was too funny with the towel! Sorry did not mean to laugh but you make me feel you are so relatable. I love your tutorials. Your flowers are amazing!! I wish mine would come out like that. You make it look so easy. The cake is beautiful!
this might sound a bit strange but i like hearing your voice.. its very soothing XD... thanks for another awesome tutorial =).
I agree that his voice is somehow comforting he could have a 2d career narrating audiobooks! Does anyone else sometimes hear children in the background? I hope so as he seems to possess perfect parenting traits.
You are really impressive in making sweet things !
Gosh, I love the buttercream flowers!!!!!
Amazing!his lessons are all good and interesting.
Sounds so amazing , this is my next cake project! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and expertise! 💞
