@@helmaschine1885 It isn't and I'm not fixated. But if he is straight I could also see it being upsetting for him for half the comments on here to be talking about him and Adam flirting or being a cute couple. I agree if he is gay and they were compatible and attracted they would make a cute couple but if he isn't I wouldn't want to comment or support comments that would make him uncomfortable. I've not been watching MAC for very long so I thought it may have been mentioned before in a video that I hadn't seen and that's where all of the comments were coming from. I support JJR either way and happen to think he's very attractive but since so many comments brought it up I figured he had talked about it sometime
@@krystalb3971 exactly what I thought when I saw the comments. Maybe I'm oblivious, but I didn't particularly see any flirty behavior. I didn't like how people started making comments like that.

Lol, because I never got an answer?? Honestly, I'm just creeped out. Why would SO MANY dudes all comment the same shit?? I'm Bi, i don't comment shit like that when i see two hot chicks getting along! It's weird, uncalled for, and borderline objectifying.

My favorite Florence + the Machine lyrics are, like yours, "it's always darkest before the dawn," and the ones before that, "and I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart." Depression sucks, and Florence got me through the darkest times, especially with Ceremonials. She also led me to my favorite writer, Sylvia Plath! Her words is what I would have tattooed in the future, "I am, I am, I am." :)
My favourite lyric is possibly from Adam Levine's Lost Stars; ' Don't you dare, let all our memories bring you sorrow. Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer.' I don't know why this is, but I guess that for me it means don't be sad when remembering the people that I've lost and that the good moments (i.e. the lion kissing the deer) will always be there for me to remember and cherish. I guess the song just captured my attention by its imagery from the first time I heard it and I must have listened to it over a hundred times since then and its still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Also, can you please make a cake in the shape of a mushroom or toadstool, because you seem like fungi's.
JJR you are AMAZING!!!! Thank you for your videos, I always look forward to your uploads. Love the banter you have with your crew, you guys are the bestest 😍
Florence and the Machine’s Shake it Out means so much to me. It was an empowering anthem that came into my life when I was just starting to finally take steps to treat my PTSD. It reminds me that although today it hard and although I see a lot of my abuser (my stepfather) in myself sometimes, it’s going to get better. I’m going to get better. So glad that you were able to make them such a beautiful cake! ❤️🎂
You need to bring her this exact cake. Like, you NEED to. It encapsulates the spirit and aesthetic of the band so perfectly in a cake. It's like a piece of art that can only be fully appreciated upon consumption. I'm high on your vision "Leave all your love and your longing behind, you can't carry it with you if you want to survive"
My favorite lyric is from a swedish punkrock band, from their son "vill inte vara med - Asta kask" And goes "för en dag går solen ner, för att aldrig komma mer. då blir det jävligt mörkt och kallt, men det blir likadant överallt" and it means that when the earth is ending, everyone is worth the same in the end. Love your cakes btw!
Everything about this video was perfection. Florence and the Machine theme, the cake itself, the flirting, the tattoo, all of it. Your best video for me, out of every single one! I could never choose a favorite lyric from her works, but I DO love the fact that over all of her albums she always ties in mythology, theology and the elements, particularly water. I don't know why but hearing her sing about water or air makes me feel like I'm swimming/flying. She's my "I can't die without seeing her in concert first" artist! Beautiful layout and decorations, and hummingbird cake sounds AMAZING! I've never tried it either, guys! XD I may give it a whirl with JJR's recipe though! Thank you for the upload! :)
"Did i drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build this ship to wreck?" Reminds me of when JJR just finishes a cake and then cuts into it. Such sweet sorrow.
“ If the whole world was watching I’d still dance with you.” - This Town by Niall Horan . It’s my favorite because it’s basically translated to even if I’m scared to return to you and I’m getting judged for the things I do I’ll never ignore you because I will never be ashamed of us.( this town is about his home btw and that you are always drawn back home).
Fav lyrics for me are by Asking Alexandria! Been my fav song for years~ (Asking Alexandria - Someone Somewhere) "Even though i'm on my own, I know I'm not alone. Because I know there's someone somewhere, praying that I make it home." Honestly, i think it speaks for itself why i love it so much :) There's always someone wanting you to be safe and sound, wether it be a stranger on the other side of the world just praying for peace or your best friend, mother, father or significant other etc. Someone, somewhere cares.
Beautiful cake!!! I absolutely adore Florence + The Machine!!! My favorite lyric is "And I am done with my graceless heart, so now I'm gonna cut it out and then restart." Each of her songs just touches me in my spirit and her emotive vocals leave me raw, but in the best possible way. Thanks for embodying her aura and manner in cake!!
"Every song comes to an end, its not a reason not to enjoy the music" Its not a lyrics but a quote from a show that i absolutely love! Meaning that everything comes to an end eventually but we should enjoy it while it lasts and be present in the moment!
"You don't have to be a ghost here amongst the living" is probably one of my favourite lyrics or hers, but her delivery of "How could anything bad ever happen to you" in hunger makes me cry every time.
An impeccable combination of a beautiful soul and unfaltering talent, Florence feels like she's been in my mind this whole time and comes up with a song that will be my own life's soundtrack for the foreseeable future. "Sometimes I think it's gettin' better And then it gets much worse Is it just part of the process?" .... Big God
I love her song "Various Storms and Saints." I can't choose just one line from that song though. "And I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream I am teaching myself how to be free" "The monument of a memory You tear it down in your head Don't make the mountain your enemy" "I know it seems like forever I know it seems like an age But one day this will be over I swear it's not so far away"
HOLY GOODNESS! I've never heard of hummingbird cake before now! You have inspired me so much! My 4 year old son and I LOVE your videos and he now asks me to make him cakes just like yours. I love the positive influence you've had on both of us! Thank you for the inspiration!
"It's always darkest before the dawn" is one of my favorite lyrics ever too ❤️ I always listen to "Shake it out" whenever I'm feeling down. What I love the most about that song is that powerful message of "it's ok too if you turn 'bad'" as it says "Looking for heaven I found the devil in me, but what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me". It's just a beautiful metaphor of letting yourself experience also the bad so you can really acknowledge the good Such an amazing tribute to Florence ❤️ I almost cried when I saw your tattoo
My favorite is "A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes." There was just something so magical about it when it was sung. Reminds me of falling in love, and how seeing those "stars" in that one person's heart make it happen. I was super happy to see it was one of the ones on the cake!
I couldn’t have clicked on this video any faster! I love Florence and The Machine and have the same tattoo! 🌞 I love your videos and look forward to them every week! Oh and the cake was absolutely beautiful!
Florence + the Machine has always been very special to me. The whole song Howl is just amazing but the lyrics "if you could only see the beast youve made of me, I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free" is just so impactful and it just really sets the tone for the whole song.
"It's always darkest before the dawn".... Penned by the Theologian, Thomas Fuller in 1650. The angelic music of Florence and the Machine resurrects this poignant sentiment, and the Man About Cake uses his creative talent to express the beautiful sentiment! Love this show!!
Hey Joshua, I love all your videos and have seen them all so I’m always excited when a new one comes out. I especially liked meeting your handwriting expert friend Adam as it made me feel that little extra bit closer to your creative process and like I was part of the MoC family! Thanks for your amazing job, the cake looked just like Florence would have designed herself and we got to see you fan-guy out a bit. Adorable! Love, Lauren
YESSSSS I love love LOVE Florence + The Machine, the best concert of my life was when I saw them live back in 2015, Florence Welch is a goddess 🙌 🙌 I especially love No Light, No Light and the intro/first verse in particular, the lyric "You are the silence in between what I thought and what I said" is SO BEAUTIFUL. It's my all-time favorite song!
This was my favorite episode of MAC!! It was professionally made but still fun- from the friend you enlisted for the lettering, the editing, the different shots. Just awesome. Love ALL your videos. Also favorite lyric is 'dog days are over'. Finished up all my schooling, had a rough past but I felt like I have come into my own and that song always gets me in my feels 🥰
My favourite lyric of all time has to be "say goodnight / I know that I'm swallowed in sea / we collide / colours that devour me" or anything from that song (Particles by Ólafur Arnalds) tbh, every word of it hits me like a train. It's kind of a sad song, but man, does it describe me perfectly.
My favorite lyric is "It chases me down, fights till I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine." Beautiful cake, as always. My daughters love it when Tuesdays arrive because of your videos.
You're officially my favorite Cake Baker now! I'm a HUGE fan of Florence! 😂. Also my favorite lyrics are: 'This is a gift, it comes with a price, who's the lamb and who's the knife, when Midas is King, he holds me so tight, and turns me to gold in the sunlight.' I think this pretty much sums up my life.
One of my favorite lyrics in a song is "always take the stage like it's the last night if your life" by Frank Turner. Even though it could be taken a bit darker it has always helped me be confident and go through with something despite how scared I might be. Life is too short to let fear get in the way. Thanks for sharing this cake, it's beautiful!
"Life is not just filled with happiness, or sorrow, Even the thorn in your heart in time may become a rose." This is my fav song lyric! Its from a video game (bonus points for anybody who recognizes it), and i like to think of it whenever i get stressed out and its just too pretty.
Two lyrics I love that don't have near as much impact on paper as they do when you hear the way they're sung are from OkGo and Needtobreathe respectively: "There ain't much that's dumber, there ain't much that's dumber, than trying to forget a girl when you love her." and "You know, we are so alive, even if they kill us, we will never die."
I watch nearly all of the videos and this is my favorite, so far. The cake is beautiful and, omg, the hilarity! I laughed a little to loud at times, since it’s 11pm where I’m at. My favorite lyrics are every single lyric to Rescue Me by Thirty Seconds to Mars...this song is amazing!
My favorite lyric is "Never knew I could feel like this. It's like I've never seen the sky before" I love it because its the only lyrics I've ever heard that come close to describing how love feels! ❤️
Please never stop putting the bloopers at the end of the video, they are the best 😂 And can we PLEEEEASE have a video where one of the crew pretend to be you and make a cake, the chaos would be hilarious!
I love Florence + the Machine too! And I also love cake-- so you could imagine how much I love this video. My favorite lyrics are from Hunger, "We never found the answer but we knew one thing, We all have a hunger" because it resonates so well how most people can't find clear answers in life but we at least can share the experience of discovery through our emotions and even celebrate it.
Love your channel! Happened upon it by chance and binged a little bit but when I saw the birthday week excitement episode I had to sub because my daughter grew up thinking she had a week long birthday (and still does 34 years later). So funny and absolutely wonderful cakes as well as episodes that aren't super long. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks
so glad to see the recipe really at the bottom and not having to go through craftsy and remember a password. rare. I LOVE hummingbird cake and the recipe I was given didn't turn out so glad to have one will work.
I loooove "dog days are over" from Florence and the machine! It's so powerful! That's like my favorite song ever haha. You made a beautiful cake holt crap. She would be soooooo excited! Hopefully she sees this cake!
I have two favorite lyrics. My sister used to make me laugh when I was little (and even now as an adult) when she'd do her version of "Man in the Mirror." She would just say "change your ways" in a funny southern accent! Still funny to this day. My second would be "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, it's alright." This lyric reminds me of so many trying times in my life and my family's lives. We're alright! 💜 Love your videos and your artistry!
My favorite lyric is from the same song, funnily enough. "So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart". It speaks to me of all the times I've had to cut pieces of myself out, pieces of my own mind and soul that have 'betrayed' me. Cutting out those voices that say I can't do it. Cutting out those dark, heavy feelings that people would be better off without me in their lives. And with each cut, I've been able to restart, to reinvent myself. "Shake it Out" is one of those songs that I heard and instantly resonated with =)
"She's like a mountain... foresty.... goddess." "Love it." This is so true of Florence and the fact that you both say and accept it as matter-of-fact is amazing.
I love Florence + the machine and I love you!!! I love watching you create amazing cakes. You guys always make me laugh too. So excited that you made this Florence + the machine cake!!!
I’m so excited! I asked you to make a hummingbird cake for my mom a couple of months ago. I told her you made it and she cried happy tears! JJR thanks for being part of our family 💕💕. Yes we adopted you 😂.
Florence is a freaking GODESS. No one sings as beautifully as her. Great to know that you love her too^^ I can't really decide whichof her lyrics are my favorite, because I love them all but from the song "100 Years" I like "And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold it lightly Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly" - It reminds me to never hold onto something or someone too forcefully/ strongly because under such pressure they break and are lost forever....
I love the lyric "Brother let me be your shelter, never leave you all alone, I can be the one you call when you're low" from the song 'Brother' by NeedToBreathe. I just love the idea that you are never alone in the world be it by a brother/sister by blood or by choosing...
Your videos are my Favorite! Your videos are seriously addicting! I always can’t wait for the next video. Lost my baking kit to a house fire a year ago but hoping to eventually get back in the game! Since I was a little girl I wanted to be a “caker baker” was how I phrased it! Thanks for the awesome videos!!! ☺️
I'm crying. Literally. Florence and the Machine is my favourite band too 😭😭😭😭 And yes Its Always Darkest Before the Dawn. That's my life motto too! This is too amazing
Honestly..this is my favourite video from MAC...like im actually baking this cake recipe atm cuz it sounds amazing and JJR& Adam are my artist otp and Florence is my Goddess..*sheds tears*
Yesterday I gave JJR's recipe for his banana cake and it was such a hit with my family and friends they loved it so much have now asked for new ones to try one them. Thanks JJR aka Man About Cake!!!
Blueprint is super clever way to advertise another class in a non evasive way. Plus Adam is super dreamy so duh.
Rachel Frumkin am i the only one who kinds thinks they could be a couple? 😂😂
Ok so real talk, is JJR gay or just artistic? I love him either way but I never want to assume

I like how I got an exercise ad before the cake video started.
XD
CheshireKat yasssss
Please make a stranger things inspired cake...
Yes that would be AWESOME
Ummmm yes please 😂😂
YASSSSSS
Yeah. Like it could be an upside down tiered cake with the smallest tier on the bottom and the largest tier on the top...
My son wants one for his birthday. Would love to see one be made!
My favourite lyric: "Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head - A million dreams are keeping me awake". Just gives me so much hope.
I LOVE FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS CAKE !!!!
LaylaBaby me too!!! I listen to her at work.
We staaaaaan her
LaylaBaby Was was good for
"Open your mind before your mouth" pretty self explaned
Wow, that cake is so stunning. Love it, it's is beautiful. The guys is adorable.

“High as Hopes” IMMEDIATELY reminded me of High Hopes by Panic! at the disco. Please tell me im not the only one
You are not the only one, I thought the same thing
I thought it WAS PATD when i saw the thumbnail 😅
Same though
I thought of High Hopes from Kodaline tho
@@blub_blub_ same
"I thought orchids were whales?" " You're fired" 😂😂 that is a convo I'd have with one of my friends
I saw your tattoo in an earlier video i think? And just started singing that song! I'm so glad it actually is from her song!
My favorite lyric is "you're on the road to success, I took the highway " I don't really know why but I like it
yeah thats right! it from "one day-logic"
My favourite lyric is possibly from Adam Levine's Lost Stars; ' Don't you dare, let all our memories bring you sorrow. Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer.' I don't know why this is, but I guess that for me it means don't be sad when remembering the people that I've lost and that the good moments (i.e. the lion kissing the deer) will always be there for me to remember and cherish. I guess the song just captured my attention by its imagery from the first time I heard it and I must have listened to it over a hundred times since then and its still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Also, can you please make a cake in the shape of a mushroom or toadstool, because you seem like fungi's.
Sooo sassy
I wanna see you both do more episodes together!
yay! lettering!
omg hummingbird cake sounds delish! and ur friend is adorable, almost as cute as you lol :) cake on my friend!
Her music is so dark yet it brings you so much light (to get through whatever problem you have). And I think that is what makes her unique.

They are sooooo flirting with each other! 😆 nawww #loveislove
I love this! It reminds me of a botanical garden. It's nice and calming, I can almost smell the flowers on it.
Absolutely love it! My kids and I have seen every episode, however this is my favorite!
So glad to see you use a hummingbird cake. Something different from chocolate or spice or vanilla. Hummingbird cake is one of my favs.
You're officially my favorite Cake Baker now! I'm a HUGE fan of Florence! 😂. Also my favorite lyrics are: 'This is a gift, it comes with a price, who's the lamb and who's the knife, when Midas is King, he holds me so tight, and turns me to gold in the sunlight.' I think this pretty much sums up my life.
It suits her music so well. Absolutely adore this cake!
I LOVE FLORENCE!!! I can never get things done, once I click on your videos! Thank you for being my procrastination buddy. 😂
You're welcome Nicole
One of my favorite lyrics in a song is "always take the stage like it's the last night if your life" by Frank Turner. Even though it could be taken a bit darker it has always helped me be confident and go through with something despite how scared I might be. Life is too short to let fear get in the way.
Thanks for sharing this cake, it's beautiful!
Heavy in your arms, it’s a reminder of what we ask of our significant others, and what they ask of us for the sake of love.
'I never knew daylight could be so violent' from 'No Light, No Light' is one of my favorite lines
That is an AWESOME cake, love your show. It is AWESOME as y'all are....
"Life is not just filled with happiness, or sorrow, Even the thorn in your heart in time may become a rose." This is my fav song lyric! Its from a video game (bonus points for anybody who recognizes it), and i like to think of it whenever i get stressed out and its just too pretty.
This made me so happy! My two favorite things in life in the same video; Man about Cake and Florence + The Machine!
Two lyrics I love that don't have near as much impact on paper as they do when you hear the way they're sung are from OkGo and Needtobreathe respectively:
"There ain't much that's dumber, there ain't much that's dumber, than trying to forget a girl when you love her."
and
"You know, we are so alive, even if they kill us, we will never die."
I watch nearly all of the videos and this is my favorite, so far. The cake is beautiful and, omg, the hilarity! I laughed a little to loud at times, since it’s 11pm where I’m at. My favorite lyrics are every single lyric to Rescue Me by Thirty Seconds to Mars...this song is amazing!
My favorite lyric is "Never knew I could feel like this. It's like I've never seen the sky before" I love it because its the only lyrics I've ever heard that come close to describing how love feels! ❤️
"What I am is what I am, are you what you are or what?" Edie Brickell & the new Bohemians. Love this lyric!
Please never stop putting the bloopers at the end of the video, they are the best 😂
And can we PLEEEEASE have a video where one of the crew pretend to be you and make a cake, the chaos would be hilarious!
I love Florence + the Machine too! And I also love cake-- so you could imagine how much I love this video.
My favorite lyrics are from Hunger, "We never found the answer but we knew one thing, We all have a hunger" because it resonates so well how most people can't find clear answers in life but we at least can share the experience of discovery through our emotions and even celebrate it.
Love your channel! Happened upon it by chance and binged a little bit but when I saw the birthday week excitement episode I had to sub because my daughter grew up thinking she had a week long birthday (and still does 34 years later). So funny and absolutely wonderful cakes as well as episodes that aren't super long. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks
so glad to see the recipe really at the bottom and not having to go through craftsy and remember a password. rare. I LOVE hummingbird cake and the recipe I was given didn't turn out so glad to have one will work.
A cake recipe with no dairy and no eggs!!! Yes for allergy friendly baked goods!!! Thanks JJR
I loooove "dog days are over" from Florence and the machine! It's so powerful! That's like my favorite song ever haha. You made a beautiful cake holt crap. She would be soooooo excited! Hopefully she sees this cake!
This is my favorite cake you’ve ever done! It’s absolutely stunning! 🖤
I love Florence and the machine!!! And this cake is gorgeous
I have two favorite lyrics. My sister used to make me laugh when I was little (and even now as an adult) when she'd do her version of "Man in the Mirror." She would just say "change your ways" in a funny southern accent! Still funny to this day. My second would be "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, it's alright." This lyric reminds me of so many trying times in my life and my family's lives. We're alright! 💜
Love your videos and your artistry!
My favorite lyric is from the same song, funnily enough. "So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart". It speaks to me of all the times I've had to cut pieces of myself out, pieces of my own mind and soul that have 'betrayed' me. Cutting out those voices that say I can't do it. Cutting out those dark, heavy feelings that people would be better off without me in their lives. And with each cut, I've been able to restart, to reinvent myself. "Shake it Out" is one of those songs that I heard and instantly resonated with =)
"She's like a mountain... foresty.... goddess."
"Love it."
This is so true of Florence and the fact that you both say and accept it as matter-of-fact is amazing.
Oh, and for the favourite Florence lyrics:
"she wants the silence/but fears the solitude
she wants to be alone/and together with you"
My first concert was watching Florence and the machine, she is absolutely great live!
This was my fav! You r so talented but of all the cakes u have made I watched this over and over. Love everything about it
I just started watching these videos and I love them jjr is so adorable and energetic and like bright and happy he like bounces and I love it
I literally hit the button so fast to watch this!! JJR rocks!!! I luv his sense of humor❤❤❤
I love Florence + the machine and I love you!!! I love watching you create amazing cakes. You guys always make me laugh too. So excited that you made this Florence + the machine cake!!!
Adam and JJR are both just so dreamy like damn these two showing up looking like a snack and I’m not talking about the cake ;)
I’m so excited! I asked you to make a hummingbird cake for my mom a couple of months ago. I told her you made it and she cried happy tears! JJR thanks for being part of our family 💕💕. Yes we adopted you 😂.
Florence is a freaking GODESS. No one sings as beautifully as her. Great to know that you love her too^^
I can't really decide whichof her lyrics are my favorite, because I love them all but from the song "100 Years" I like
"And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold it lightly
Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly" - It reminds me to never hold onto something or someone too forcefully/ strongly because under such pressure they break and are lost forever....
I love the lyric "Brother let me be your shelter, never leave you all alone, I can be the one you call when you're low" from the song 'Brother' by NeedToBreathe. I just love the idea that you are never alone in the world be it by a brother/sister by blood or by choosing...
Your videos are my Favorite! Your videos are seriously addicting! I always can’t wait for the next video. Lost my baking kit to a house fire a year ago but hoping to eventually get back in the game! Since I was a little girl I wanted to be a “caker baker” was how I phrased it! Thanks for the awesome videos!!! ☺️
I'm crying. Literally. Florence and the Machine is my favourite band too 😭😭😭😭
And yes Its Always Darkest Before the Dawn. That's my life motto too!
This is too amazing
Honestly..this is my favourite video from MAC...like im actually baking this cake recipe atm cuz it sounds amazing and JJR& Adam are my artist otp and Florence is my Goddess..*sheds tears*
JJR, you are beautifully creative! I love you guy's show.❤
Yesterday I gave JJR's recipe for his banana cake and it was such a hit with my family and friends they loved it so much have now asked for new ones to try one them. Thanks JJR aka Man About Cake!!!
