Although it takes time to make this cake, it really pays off when you taste it😋Don’t worry about making mistakes or getting messy, practice some times and you'll feel more comfortable each time!
Hello Aya. I really love all your videos. I would like to ask you about the materials that you use . I am a beginner and I often get lost when it comes to buying baking supplies such as pan and cake tin ... Especially regarding the size . For example for the opera cake that you made which size for the sheet-pans to use for a small sized cake. So it would be very helpful if you could help us on how to choose the correct supplies for home baking in small batches.

This would be a great idea for a video Aya...😁👍
Thanks sis
I'm in love.
Aya you’re knowledge of all things baking is absolutely extraordinary and I’m so proud to be one of your students ❤ Aussie gal is in the kitchen sitting 🪑 up the back of today’s class on how to make and bake a delicious Opera Cake 🍰 and I have my fork 🍴 ready for the tasting ❤😂
i always loved the name. OPERA CAKE. Because it so perfectly fits and describes it. Its like an opera. Something so sophisticated, so pompous, so exclusive. An opera takes hours, and its usually an epic about something serious. Its complicated, elaborate and precise. And thats what this cake is. Not something you make every other sunday. ITs something you make like once a year for a special occasion. An absolute trial of skill, a cake complicated as hell, and after the hours, eating is like the Crescendo of the opera
“You do not make it every Sunday”
*My brain wants to have a word with you* 😂
I watch many different bakers on youtube for inspiration and technique, but it seems like every time I explore new ideas I end up turning to your videos the most for my first attempts. I really appreciate your concise, well-reasoned, and uncomplicated direction - thank you for all of the work you put into your videos! I have learned so much with your help.
Wow thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that!

😋 yum...it's hard to resist!
Thank you😋
@@PastryLivingwithAya It does look tasty! Although, I'm seeing many people calling it the 'king of chocolate cakes', yet there seems to be much coffee and relatively little chocolate, is it not overwhelmingly coffee? Would you say this cake is a good option if looking for a chocolate birthday cake? Also, in case I am going to be trying this out, could you specify what percent fat was your heavy cream? Where I'm from we rarely have anything above 33%, so I was wondering how I should compensate if yours is above that. Would just adding more chocolate work to thicken it? And one more, how much of a difference do you think the cognac makes in the syrup? I'm thinking of making this for a birthday and there will likely be kids eating it so I'm not sure adding cognac would be appropriate (though maybe boiling it for a bit to cook off the alcohol is an option?).
EDIT. This turned out to be a lengthy comment in hindsight 😅 Hope you don't mind me bombarding you with questions like this.
WOW! That was beautiful! We enjoyed the video.
Arigato. : )
You are amazing... you bake with so much ❤️ 😍
Thank you❤️
Wow! What a great video! I just made my first Opera Cake a couple months ago. It was so fun! And so delicious! It took me a couple days but I did it.

Bela receita
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thanks
Criatividade é fundamental ele aliar os sabores. Vou fazer para descobrir os sabores
awesome
Thank you!
Thank you for going this way as I'm not that bit of a chocolate fan and I'm on a keto regime right now (old men and their doctors often clash). I can enjoy your video without breaking down and making something just because. I am making candied and dried cherries for something right now but it's likely for my grandkids so I'm not tempted.
I totally understand! Health always comes first😊 I’m glad you enjoyed watching it though!!! Thank you.
Now I'm trying with this recipe.. I just finished buttercream and It is soooo delicious!!!! now I'm going to make chocolate ganache. Thank you for this fantastic recipe!!
Awesome〜🥰 I’m so glad!! Hope you guys enjoyed the completed cake as well❤️ Great job👏🏻👏🏻
Hi dear,
U nd yr recipes r outstanding.
Love to follow Yr recipes.
Thank you!😊🙏🏻
After all that work you deserved a big slice of that cake😄. Cake looks delicious.
Thanks😁 it tasted extra delicious after the labor😋
Parece waffle de tão lindo
Tis magnificent video and tutorial. Really enjoyed watching the video, almost as much you enjoyed your first bite.
On the serious note. When you said "oil" for chocolate. What kind of oil? When I experimented with chocolate there was four ingredients that put chocolate flavours out more. Vanilla, salt, coffee and olive oil. Are you using neutral oil or olive oil for chocolate?
If it’s you who is making the video, I have to watch. Legit!
Thank you!
@@PastryLivingwithAya most welcome boss.
Wooow
Thanks!
That cake looks absolutely heavenly! I wish I could put my hand in the screen and just grab a slice for myself!
Also your accent is very interesting and elegant! I hope you don't mind me asking, but where are you from?
Hello Aya you are really awesome.
Sending you and Ray kisses from Portugal 🇵🇹❤️
Thank you😊 Thanks for watching from Portugal!
오페라 케이크를 만들기 위해서는 여러 단계를 거쳐야 하는데, 아몬드 가루를 다른 재료로 대체할 수 있는데, 중요한 것은 달콤한 오페라 케이크를 만들 수 있다는 점입니다.
Gorgeous ;))
Thank you!!
Can you please tell the variation in coffee measurements for both coffee syrup and mocha buttercream if one is using instant coffee. Thanks.
It's such a beautiful cake. Is chocolate millionaire the same?
Hello Aya, can we replace cognac with something non alcoholic in the recipe? Thanks!
Hi! So far, I only liked cognac but you can also omit it.
lol 😂 Aya you are going to be on a caffeine high from this exquisitely made Opera Cake and girl you have definitely deserved it I would love to know how exactly it took too make?
Hey aya. Almond flour is really expensive here. I however have homemade almond butter. Can I use that instead ?
❤❤❤❤❤
❤
For the almond flour and the powder sugar is it only 100g?
Hello Aya! Could I use dark chocolate 70%? That's what I have at the moment. Thank you so much for all your recipes!
Yes!😊 My pleasure!!
Thank you Aya for the opera recipe it looks delicious 😋can I replace the 100g cognac with something else please? If yes, what do you recommend?
Welcome☺️ You can add some more coffee liquid!
@@PastryLivingwithAya thank you 🙏
❤😮
Wow beautiful cake!!! Where is Rey to enjoy the best cake 😞
I decided not to give it to her this time since it contains a lot caffeines and alcohol. She’ll be in sometime soon!😉
just wander would it work with tia maria better
