One of the things I enjoy most about you is that you're not afraid to admit to making a mistake. You're human, we all are. And we all goof up once in a while. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
I know he literally makes me feel so much better about the fact that I make mistakes too and that no matter how experienced someone is they still are human and goof up sometimes lol
I made this cake a couple weeks ago. I and my family were completely blown away! I am a baker but have always stayed away from chocolate cake because the flavor always disappoints. But THIS cake? OMGOODNESS!!! It is perfection! I’m making another one tomorrow. lol Help! I need an intervention! 😂
What I love about John's videos is they take something that looks so beautiful and COMPLICATED like this cake and he makes it so approachable and easy. Great learning videos and recipes. Happy holidays!!!!
I made this cake after receiving my personal copy of your Cookbook. I'm a home baker and entrepreneur. I changed up the design a bit and it was a stunning showstopper for my Christmas party. I love your work as it keeps me motivated. I hope that one day I get to meet you and have my copy autographed by you
Hi Jonn, I love, love, love that you show your little mistakes. It makes you more approachable. Some cooks would never do that but we're all friends here and it's great that you don't take yourself so seriously that you can be real. You're a great teacher!
John, your videos are getting better and better. Meaning…. they are as entertaining as they are educational. You are capturing our hearts and minds with the content you share. Merry Christmas to you, your family and your team that produce this wonderful Channel !❤
I made that exact same mistake with a marshmellow drizzle on my chocolate cake I made for Thanksgiving. Some strategic mini pumpkin figure setting around the cake stand and no one knew! Love seeing the humility.
I love how you convert the amounts for people who use the metric system to measure! It’s a real lifesaver in terms of time (looking it up online). I’m gonna make this cake for christmas with the in-laws this year! Hope I can blow them away! 😊😊😊
I love the fact you TEACH the why's while you're putting all the ingredients together!! I know you have a good thing on TH-cam however would love to see you on PBS or other TV channel as well!!
So do I. Last week and then yesterday I made a batch of my favorite chocolate peppermint thumbprint cookies that are filled with a chocolate peppermint ganache. These cookies are SO good. So hard to just eat 2 or 3 lol. I love recipes that'll give you the opportunity to make them ahead of time then freeze until needed. If you're interested in the recipe just let me know. Happy Holidays...
It looks delicious! I have no problem melting white chocolate in the microwave. I use Ghirardelli all the time for my candy and chocolate chip cookie dough fudge. The microwave makes way easier for me when I am melting white, milk, and semisweet chocolates.
I’m travelling right now and have this book sitting in my mailbox 😭 this looks amazing I’ll have to whip it up next Christmas, I can’t wait to dig into all these recipes in 2023!
Hi John, I'm sure no one will be concerned about the size of the cake, just slice it up and devour 😋 your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable. Merry Christmas to you all ⛄
John you are literally my favorite TH-camr! You are so talented and have the most adorable personality☺️ your videos always make me laugh and you do such a wonderful job of really going into detail about how to make each component of each recipe. I’ve been baking for a while but am a novice cake decorator and it helps so much to have people like you who can help teach me in an understandable and non overwhelming way how to perfect my skills. Plus I’m jealous of your husband that he gets to eat all your delicious baked goods! Lol
I'm have 2 cakes to make next weekend. I'm sure my family will love it. And thanks to Alexis reading my hubby his email..I know Santa hubby is getting me your cookbook!!!
Looks delicious, thanks for the chocolate bit at the end. I appreciate you leaving that part in and letting us know you are not perfect either. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and The best New Year.
Just wanted to add, there are very few cooking channels I will bother watching, particularly now since there are more than a few "scam misleading" cooking channels. They appear in my sidebar claiming "I eat this cake every day! No flour no eggs no oven!" Except it either tastes like a rock or they already prepared the flour egg mixture and pretend they never added it. Anyway, my point is that if John doesn't make something then I won't bother watching it!! 🥰
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for not editing out your oopsies. It's wonderful to know that even experienced bakers make mistakes. Especially during the holidays when we're all so stressed and time crunched it's nice to remember to give yourself Grace and just go with the flow. I have a question about the cake wraps. Are those good for anything else such as baking bread? I was just wondering if the humidity level would be raised in the oven and cause softer bread or would this affect the rising. Just wondering because my husband has decided to take up the hobby of bread baking. I'm trying to get him to make this delicious peppermint cake of yours!
I just found YOU! I made your chocolate babka yesterday and it is amazing and I love your youtubes. Totally make your recipes and all the steps easy to follow. THANK YOU.
I love that you don't edit out mistakes like the gnash pouring over the side of the cake! It makes you more relatable and more enjoyable to watch! I hope to make your whoopie pie recipe for my husband's birthday on the 27th... wish me luck! Lol Merry Christmas!
Thanks, John! I tried Your Lemon Cupcake recipe for a potluck, and everyone stole one before they even ate dinner!!😆😆😆 I can't wait to try this recipe out for an upcoming Christmas party! I KNOW they're going to LOVE IT!! Thank You for always adding the weight measurements, and explaining the finer details of every step and ingredient to maximize results, and minimize mistakes and frustrations! Awesome apron BTW!! Love Your Channel! Merry Christmas, Brotha!!
John, you are whom I've learned to cook from, being in my late late 30's. Keep up the great work! And can I request more vlog style videos and a recipe for Spanish rice, please!!
Your cake looks beautiful and delicious! Julia said, “never apologize for your food” and “it’s your kitchen, who’s to know?” I thought it was gorgeous (and still do) before you said anything. I’d be _thrilled_ to have this lovely cake! Love your work, thanks for making such great content, and I asked Santa for your cookbook for Christmas 😃. 🎄Very Merry Christmas🎄to you and your family!
I've actually been using your recipes for my holiday baking this year! 😋 I've done your gingerbread cake, your white chocolate peppermint cookies and white chocolate cranberry cookies! They have a big hit with my family so far 😊 I still have plans to make your French silk pie and your peanut butter pie (Not the most Christmasy but I made pecan and sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving and I wanted to try something new) I can't wait to see what you make in the new year 😋
I received your book as a birthday present, a friend and I attempted to make that cake. It tasted delicious but it looked like if I was participating in Nailed It! 😂

I second your comment. Detest “perfect videos” especially when it comes to flour. Merry Christmas everybody.
Totally agree!
Another amazing recipe!
I know he literally makes me feel so much better about the fact that I make mistakes too and that no matter how experienced someone is they still are human and goof up sometimes lol
I love his mistakes, he makes things fun.
Peppermint WOW I'M GOING TO Baked for CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR.

I know he does such an amazing job at breaking it down and explaining each step thoroughly

I legit gasped when the ganache went over the side! Looks so good! I'll be making this cake for Christmas!

Awesome 👏👏👏chocolate and peppermint🙌match made in heaven 😎👍
I love this! We always sang Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas 🎄 so this cake would be perfect
Oh! I Like the thinner layers of sponge.... 😁🤩

Oh my gonosh!
I want some!
Amazing
Yammy 👍👍👍👍
I made this and it was the HIT of the family Christmas party!!! Preppy kitchen for the win again!! Thanks John 😊
OMG! I hated you so much when you tried that big delicious piece. I'm gonna have to make this cake myself.
The man is an artist with his cakes. You never cease to impress me!
Mini cakes with a lemon glaze are so refreshing! 🍋🍰
I’ve used peppermint schnapps in the frosting for a cake like this before, and it’s divine!
that sounds great!
Oh my, John…I’ve been away for a bit and see I have missed many amazing videos…but, I’m most excited that you have a cookbook now! Wow…thank you! 😮💖
I love how John periodically launches his ingredients accidentally through his expressive hand movements LOL
I tried you idea with an 8x8 pain with parchment paper. It worked beautiful. Thank you. Now my fudge and caramels are going to look so much better.
Wow, your book just arrived. .I AM SO EXCITED.....THANK YOU THANK YOU. Your book is an absolute work of art. Magnificent photography 💖💖💖💖💖💖
I learn so much watching you. Thank you for sharing reason behind using oil vs butter. No hard cakes 🍰 allowed!
I soooo love watching you John. U acknowledge your mistakes and move on, always a joy🥰
These mini cakes are sure to impress my friends! 🌟🎉
I love the fact you TEACH the why's while you're putting all the ingredients together!! I know you have a good thing on TH-cam however would love to see you on PBS or other TV channel as well!!
I just made this cake for my birthday on Dec 23rd. It was a huge hit with my family.
Made this cake to serve with Christmas dinner. Big hit!!! Thank you ❤
I LOVE peppermint bark. This is genius. ❤
This looks sooo good :). I personally love the combination of chocolate and peppermint. I can't wait to try this at home.
So do I. Last week and then yesterday I made a batch of my favorite chocolate peppermint thumbprint cookies that are filled with a chocolate peppermint ganache. These cookies are SO good. So hard to just eat 2 or 3 lol. I love recipes that'll give you the opportunity to make them ahead of time then freeze until needed. If you're interested in the recipe just let me know.

John, you are whom I've learned to cook from, being in my late late 30's. Keep up the great work! And can I request more vlog style videos and a recipe for Spanish rice, please!!
I second the Spanish rice request!
Your cake looks beautiful and delicious! Julia said, “never apologize for your food” and “it’s your kitchen, who’s to know?” I thought it was gorgeous (and still do) before you said anything. I’d be _thrilled_ to have this lovely cake!
Love your work, thanks for making such great content, and I asked Santa for your cookbook for Christmas 😃. 🎄Very Merry Christmas🎄to you and your family!
