I usually only do make-up for concerts/events, always take it off and cleanse before going to bed too! My skincare collection is massive compared to my make-up 😅 I looove these videos, cool to get to know you better, and thanks for the tips for food places for my yearly London trip next year!

Great video and questions. Definitely keep taking care of your back and don't rush it! I worked 3 jobs and damaged my back, and of course couldn't slow down to properly take care of it. I ended up having a to be cut open from the front for a spinal fusion then flipped and have the back cut open to have the broken pieces of transverse process from Pars Defect removed. I joke that I look like a pirate stabbed me with a long sword lol. So definitely take care of yourself so you don't make it worse! Glad you are doing better! Keep up the awesome videos!

Hi Jemma and team! Firstly, hope you're feeling better. Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Second, I'm about to embark on the creation of a winter wonderland cake, which will require some precise glitter application. What type of brushes do you use for that at C&D? Can you use any old craft brush or makeup brush, or do you have special recommendations for applying glitter and/or lustre dust?

@Hair-today 3 жыл бұрын

Liked the question about beating eggs. From working in big hotels I got used to floor standing mixers and whisking trays of eggs "till they literally rise" and then folding in the flour and oil for trays of sponges. I started working at a small coffee shop and my cakes were flopping because I was over beating the eggs, looking for that big fluffy mass. Eggs in small quantities in a normal cake, need to be beaten with sugar then oil very lightly or else they will kind of split and go watery and not give structure to your small carrot cake for example. The only time you need to whisk eggs to a big foam is when you making sponge cakes. Basic oil chock cakes, carrot cakes, cupcakes and muffins require just a simple mix in. When you beat eggs and add sugar, then oil, for say a carrot cake, you just mix till the eggs are creamy no more. I hope this helps someone.

I have a question regarding butter-based versus oil-based cakes. Many recipes that you find online use plant oil instead of butter, which always puts me off a little bit since I grew up using butter in every cake. Are those two interchangeable or do they produce different results? Which one do you prefer?

@kirstyleigh9652 4 жыл бұрын

I am so glad someone asked about the stand mixers. As a home baker I agonize over the expense of a mixer which after an oven, is the next largest purchase one would make. The agony comes with how to choose which one to buy. Kitchen Aids are horrendously expensive in my country and they seem to have a low power motor. Kenwoods have higher wattage and fit into a budget better if one looks at getting the highest power for your buck. So which criteria would you recommend a home baker focuses on when considering which to purchase? Is the Kitchen Aid really worth the excessive price?

@prva9347 4 жыл бұрын

I was saving for a KitchenAid but then got lucky because they had a nationwide promotion of a reduced priced mixer but including a free _glass_ bowl and ice cream maker. Different stores sold different accessories (I found out later) but essentially the same offer. Realised only a few weeks later it was because they were clearing out old end-of-line stock because they introduced a (very expensive) upgraded version. So look out for such offers - reckon I saved over £100. Also, whenever a new or upgraded version is released, look for a rush of secondhand versions on e-Bay etc. and the more secondhand ones there are the cheaper they tend to be (law of supply and demand).

@prva9347 4 жыл бұрын

That was a free glass bowl over and above the standard stainless steel bowl that comes with the KitchenAid mixer.

Regarding puff pastry I got this tip from another KZfaq baker called Gemma. This cuts out all of the hard work. Use frozen butter, grate the butter into the dry ingredients and bring it together with a little liquid. No need to keep rolling and folding and dabbing butter just roll it once and put in the oven. The frozen butter evaporates and creates pockets of steam all over making flaky layers of pastry
