Hi! Well...I have been totally blown away by how curious you lot are! So...Many...Questions!!! I have picked the most popular ones, as promised, though there were lots and lots of popular ones, too many for this one video. So I will definitely do another Q&A in the next few weeks to give you another chance to Ask Me Anything and cover a few things I really wanted to get to this time around, such as how I develop my recipes and what's my favourite sandwich!!
But for now, I hope you enjoy this video and apologies in advance for the length of the video. It's hard to do short answers when you have a lot to say! xx

I am an older mum of two grown up kids, who loves cooking and baking. I have two charity bake sales a year and it is heart-warming to know that you, like me, will not accept 'that'll do' as enough. It is a case of all or nothing and only the best is good enough. I tell my kids, '...if it's got your name on it, (whatever 'it' is,) make sure you do your best work at all times!' Even at my grand age, Gemma, I am inspired by you but then I'm always willing to learn. Good luck in all you do even though you make me slightly envious of the business you've created.

You are a huge inspiration to me to me Jemma. You're one of my biggest role models next to Gordon Ramsey, Bobby Flay and other competent people. I've been going back and forth on whether I should have my own bakery for a living because people expect me to become a doctor, lawyer, all that good stuff. But my passion is baking, and you have created a lot of that growing passion. So thank you so so so so much. I wish to meet you one day. I live in Houston, Texas but I've always wanted to go to to the UK to meet you. You're AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU

Hi Jemma. I really loved this video. My question are: do you creat your own recipes? What inspires you? How many times do you test them so they turn out perfect?

@crimsonfancy 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not only impressed tonight but possibly smitten. 😊 Probably because you shared so much and answered so many of my personal wonders. I'm in South US and old but have 30 years in the business as a committed learner. Pastry has never been a thrill for me but when I need guidance and ideas for super-sexy kitchen desserts, I've learned that Jemma has it covered. Maybe because I feel like Jemma shares professional technique rather than what I would call "housewife sweets." Easy to scale, plenty impressive enough to sell, delivered with confidence and authority. These videos are a gift and ones I appreciate and share to my peers. You do such a fantastic job and my best to you in your small business successes.

Hello! I'm a 15 year old trying to figure out what I want to do in life, and lately all I can think of is baking. Over the last 3 months I have sold around 5 cakes (small amount but great achievement to me!) and I have also tested new recipes and stuff. Today I found your channel and oh my god, you made me love baking even more (if that makes any sense ) because I can see the passion you have for your work and the thing you said in the video about keeping our standards high is absolutely true because if you are not going to give your 100% then what's the point? If you miraculously read this I want to tell you something more : Thank you! xx - Sofi.

I've been watching you for a little while now, but didn't really know much about you. (Exept that you love baking!) So, thanks for making this video! By the way, you have inspired me so so so much, especially with the behind the scenes at crumbs and doilies to open my own bakery! (When I'm older.) Oh, I LOVE BAKING MORE THAN ANYTHING. I live in Toronto, Canada. So, thank you for really inspiring me to do what I love, even if it might be hard, as you said, and I hope you will have a great day. :) :) :)

Dear Jemma, I love your videos and have basically made all of your recipes. My question is... I've gotten a lot into baking myself and mostly cookies. While I do have my own recipes, some of them are based on yours. My question is now: If I were to get in touch with people who would actually buy those cookies (which some want to, because your recipes are brillant), would I be able to do that or would you feel copied and mad? :) Much love!

I used to live in England when I was younger- like ages 4-9, and when I was in school I had some desserts that have always been my favorite but since moving back to the states it has literally been impossible to find the name/recipe for them. I have asked other you tubers as well and have not gotten a response. I'm hoping you might have an answer for me so I can continue the "tradition" here in US with my family . Anyway it was a sponge cake with like a warm custard over the top and served warm Or room temperature. There was another one that was like a yellowish cake with a white icing that was smooth on the top but then had a colorful design on the top like an infinity ribbon design. And another was a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse frosting.

This video was so interesting and thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! I was really surprised that you don´t have a degree or anything in baking. Cause I thought that´s the only way to have a successful cake/cupcake shop. I did my bachelor´s and master´s degree in business but I have a huge passion for baking and I could see myself having a shop or anything like that. So hearing your story made me realize that you CAN do it without being a professional. It gives me motivation to actually try and build something, which I can see myself doing for a long time. And when you said you also have international interns... :)))

Your Q&A was great, I didn't ask a question as anything I could think of had been asked. I did like a few though. I really enjoy your videos, and it's nice to know that all your hard work has paid off. Very inspirational for anyone who loves baking but doesn't want to go down the academic route.

HELLO JEMMA! I've been watching your videos for the past few months, and I enjoy all your tutorials and bubbly personality! This may sound strange, but I'm not the biggest fan of icing/frosting and have discovered that quite a few of my friends aren't too fond of it as well. This may be because I've had many bad experiences with eating unappetizing heavily frosted desserts in the past. I do like light airy frostings that have a similar texture to whipped cream. I want to try using stabilized whipped cream frosting as an alternative. QUESTIONS: Have you every tried using stabilized whipped cream frosting on cakes and do you have any tips or tricks? If not could you possibly make a video on it in the future? Thank you! ^_^
