A part of me wanted to see this octopus in purple and deep pink to really bring out the texture and detail
djrockssss I agree, would have taken it to a whole new level
djrockssss
Me too!
I agree also white wedding cakes are boring anyway
all parts of me wanted to see that, though im more for orange and red with purple and pink suckers
love that his shirts always match the cakes' theme
Yes!😀
"This stuff is easy to snap"
He says as he struggles with the pipe
Go make another video with Justine make a Wii U disc time
xD lol
He struggles more with the glue gun. XD
your welcome, I liked the comment to make it 667 and not 666
Jesús Ortiz Um..Why Are You Saying It To This Comment? Say It To The Real World!

Can we talk about how cute his shirt is??
Trish Mendoza it's adorable!
Can we talk about how cute he is? 😂
I want his SHIRT!!!
oh my gosh yes! I love his shirt:)
😍😍😍
This is so awesome! I'd name it The Kraken... wait... Caken. :)
Ooooh this made my day
just discovered your videos and i have to say I enjoy that you show the bloopers and you don't cut them out (like normal people do make mistakes) and the cakes loops awesome!!
"THESE AREN'T CAKE TOOLS! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEM!"
I just love this man and his cuteness/sassiness so much :3
We're getting Calamarried!
Kami Wilkins you should totally win!!!
Kami Wilkins calamari is squid, actually. But hey, that name is so good!
That is one awesome name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Octavia Coupling would be fitting 😁
welcome back...missed you!
No seriously, this is incredible. As an FX artist not only am I intrigued, I'm super impressed! I love how minimal it is as well 💜😍
All i can say is ... WOW!
Baking and decorate Cakes is my biggest passion for about 19 Years now.
And i´ve seen a lot of great Bakers and Cakeartist, but your CakeArt is blowing me away. Such a masterpiece this Choctopus! Keep going, it´s amazing!
And i also like the way of mixing humor with cake :D
welcome back! missed the videos. really enjoy watching you make these gorgeous cakes!.......and this baby should be named : Squishy!
Can you plz make a bubble tea cake? With bubble tea straws?
Hahaha love that
You're squidding me! You should name him Sir Inks-a-lot!
I'm such a sucker for your show. You're always kraken me up! So happy you're back to octopi my Tuesdays with your amazing cakes!
Kristen Opdahl very punny
I love watching you make things but your sense of humor is the BEST. Especially the octopus cake!! HILARIOUS!
3:49 "I think I just caught the garbage can on fire"
Lol I lost it.
petition for octopieces to happen please
Ursula...because one bite and you'll be speechless! 😉👍*been subscribed since you started your own channel*
You should call it
'You Octopi my heart'
since it is a wedding cake.😃😄😘😚😙😍😛😜😋
Absolutely loving this channel. Less the actual cake making, and more just how excited and happy you are all the time.
I just love it when the guys in the background laugh at something Joshua does! The working atmosphere between those guys seems so perfect :D!
I would name the cake Sucker For Love
Somehow octopodes have always been british gentlemen to me. Just imagine them with a top hat and a pipe saying 'I beg your pardon, my good sir' or 'I wouldn't mind a cup of tea'. So I'd name him Sir Squidington.
I'm no native speaker and I had to google the correct plural for 'octopus'. Another word learned :D
Mira Hugsmaed where are you from?
I absolutely adore the mental image you just put in my head. "Hey Cthulhu, want some Earl Grey?"
Cthulhu: "Indubitably so, my good Madam. Perhaps served with just a dash of milk in and paired with some 85% dark chocolate, if it is not too much of an imposition?"
+ILoveStrongHeroines "You are very welcome. But may I ask of another slice of that incredibly delicious cake? Oh, dear lady, you just have to tell me the recipe!"
I am from Germany, but I love exploring different cultures and languages. Cakes like these for example, you'd never find here since we prefer to keep it simple. Since my english isn't too bad I guess, it's time to tackle the next language: spanish. I really look forward to a vacation in Spain, I want to test my knowledge! ^^
"Only if you'll tell me who tailored that ravishing cravat you have on. The sweeping bow really compliments your delicate tendrils!" ;) Wonderful stuff, your imagination is a fun place.
You know whay will be great........A COLLAB WITH HOW TO CAKE IT!!!
YESSSSSSSSS
Omg yasss
Basic Bnails YESSSSS!!!!!
Basic Bnails yess yess yess !!!
Basic Bnails IKR!!!

8:26 that is called a rib in art and a cake rib in baking! Love those things!
I really like this creative aproach!! classic cakes are pretty, but this octopus is awesome@!!!!!
WHENEVER THE GLUE FELL OUT I WAS DYING
“I will beat you. I think I just set the garbage can on fire”

We have just a few more suckers.
Also know as the things that terrified me as a child. Ahahahahhaha
This guy is amazing! He is by far the best cake decorator I’ve ever seen.

Lillie Perkins I heard right! duh! Hahaha!
Candie Harris I replayed that like 3 times just to make sure I heard that right. Someone wasn't paying attention in their science classes 😂

Missed you, missed you, missed you. So good to hear your voice & see you again. How about a graduation cake with a prom king & queen wearing crowns, holding scrolls & queen with corsage? Love seeing your fantastic unique designs, the jersey, the comments, as only you can.
as i watch more of your videos, ican't help but see the similarity with how to cake it. can't tell which one is better tho
This cracked my top three cakes you have made. It looks amazing!! Seriously too good to eat!!!
how many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?
TEN-TICKLES!!! amirite?! anyone? no? ok...
LOL...At the risk of sounding like a moron, I had to read that 3x before I got it!

KB TWD? hahaha 😂😂

this guy is awesome because he is one of the bakers who is not really boring and he cut out all of the boring stuff, plus he has fun music instead of just wind...please do a cake inspired by the movie Moana!
I would name it Casper (like the little friendly ghost bc it's white and reminds me a little bit at him ;) )

I had to locate this cake where your nephews mentioned this cake, yes I'm trying to catch up lol I'm binge watching 😁omg I'm screaming with laughter watching you fight the glue gun..lol
I LOVE your cakes !! I was So EXCITED when I heard you talk about the Give Away of the tools that you use....then I looked at the time this video was made..*insert crying emoji* LOL. I laughed out loud and thought, well, the video is still amazing ! :)
I would name him Aegaeon this name was one of the Greek gods,he was the god storms of the Aegean Sea also an ally of the Titanes in their war against the gods themselves. also, it's the moon of Saturn. I've always felt Octopi were they moons of the sea. IT FITS SO WELL BECAUSE HE IS ELEGANT STRONG, AND HE LOOKS LIKE A MOON!
AEGAEON
I'm not gonna say I missed you, but I did.
Last time I was this early, Anthony was still in Smosh.
i dub this "squiggle!". this cake is so amazing! as someone who heavily dabbles in cakery, I'm loving this channel.
Call it Octavio. LOVE your channel! It's one of our favorites!
I would call it sucker for cake.
OMG! this is amazing!! And I would name it 'Sir choctohead Inkylegs"
2:13 there’s not a lot of cake in this checks title “wedding cake” 🤨
*calls cake company* “yeah I’m gonna need 5 of those sorry bye”
This is gorgeous!! “Octopieces” are my favourite sea creature and this is just incredible 🖤🖤🖤
You should call him Twinkle Toes! I'll keep my fingers crossed! Glad you're back! 🤞🏻💃🏻
Why did I read the title "Cocktopus"? Something is seriously wrong with me...
Rimani Parhm Same here
You watch too much hentai.
Rimani Parhm Cocktapus! Each leg is a penis. A cake for nymphomaniacs. Or bachelorette parties.
You are awesome. How long did it take from cake to garnish?
My four year old loves your videos! He wants you to name the cake Ted!

This is only my second video from u I have seen.... but ur cakes look great but ok cool cake yaya... We like cake because they taste good right. U are the first I have really seen that the cake sticks to ur hands when cutting it so u know it is moist!!! Moist cake is so yummy.
Joshua you should collab with Rosanna Pansino like if you agree
Slime King and Yolanda gammp

Tako Tuesday. ; )

11:08 octopussy
Lol!
Joshua The Cakes u make are lovely no doubt.. but its u I find sooooo disarmingly cute .. ur so witty and go about it so like a ... ummm kinda .. “ cake walk “ So much funn to see u do wot u do 💕💕.. Stay Blessed
This turned out soooooo good. I love it. I think I would call it "Stuck On You".
Sorry if this is odd to say or something because I'm new to the channel but I notice you never do rounded cakes or carved cakes and was wondering why not? I mean a rounded cake for this would have been perfect since you could have actually made it look like an octopus head and kinda feel like the simple tiers don't do the tentacles justice is all, I love the fine details and texturing but why not make the cake itself look like an octopus head?
Aura Eevee my guess (at least for this cake) is he didn't want it to look completely like an octopus. He wanted it to look like a wedding cake and and octopus
Is the giveaway international?, if it is here is my answer...
The kra-cake-n
Ruth G I wish these channels would clarify when they have these competitions.
Can we call him Krull the Warrior King or Wifi or Cilantro? Please?
First time visiting this video and I am already IN LOVE WITH THIS CAKE! Underwater theamed Wedding coming up so I am definitely making this one! Thanks x
I really, really, REALLY want more of this kind of cake!
