Just made this beautiful cake for Thanksgiving-if you are detail oriented and like devoting yourself to cooking (and I do) this cake is for you I adjusted the ingredients to 1. 5 the listed size to accommodate my pans (9, and 10) and the increase was perfect. I also skipped the step of removing the cake layer and trimming it off-I added the chocolate and caramel layer directly onto the the walnut cake, thus elminating some steps and dishes without compromising the look or taste. This cake is beautiful and tastes fabulous-looking forward to trying more of your recipes

I actually made this after watching the video a few times, and others from your chanel. It is superb It took me a couple of days to complete, and it was just too hot in the house to do the chocolate flower, but the cake itself is delicious I'll definitely do it again. Wish I could attach a photo to show you: ) Thank you

Hello, I have a couple of questions. When making the caramel, is temperature a big factor? Or can we eyeball it until it gets that dark brown color? And also, when you add water to the caramel for the glaze, should it be cold/warm? Thanks a lot for the recipe, will be trying it next weekend

Im making this cake right now and LEMME TELL YOU GUYS its a LOT of work but the end result was AMAZING After all that effort, cutting into the cake itself and eating what took so long to make is so satisfying I used Cream Cheese instead of Marscapone and it tasted just as good

I am trying the mirror glaze part of the cake today as I did all previous steps yesterday and in freezer now. There are only a few of us eating it so know will have about 1/2 of the cake left. Can I re-store it in the freezer with the glaze or can only keep in fridge?

I made this delicious cake for my fathers birthday and my whole family said that it is the best cake Ive done so far, so thank you very much I thought it would be very challenging, but its not as difficult as it looks like, just give it a try: -)

loved it. I really love watching your videos but I just couldn't try any because they all are egg based or with gelatin, so please tell egg substitutes and how to use agar agar in place of gelatin. Hope you will consider my request.

It's gorgeous, clearly, but I do feel bad for those taking the little bites that don't contain any of the meringue, chocolate and walnut caramel mix. All they get is delicious mousse and mirror glaze with chocolate.

I made this for a party last week, and it was the star of the show. Your recipes and video instructions are incredible, and make me look so good when I follow them. Thank you for making me a hero among my friends.
