Hi, I’m Nik. I’m a trans man and I wanted to use the picture of the trans cake you made as my header on twitter. I’m going to put your credits and thr link to your website of the page with the recipe in my Twitter bio, so I just wanted to know if that would be okay with you? If not that’s so okay I understand. Thank you for all that you do anyway. It really touched me in a positive way.

In reply to Judith. Hi Judi, Apologies for any confusion!! I find that a quart or 4 cups of fresh strawberries ends up being about 2 cups of mashed strawberries, which is what my recipe card calls for. I include the quart measurement of fresh strawberries because some people have to buy their strawberries, and I want them to know how big of a container they need. Hope that makes sense!! <3

Chelsey –

I do use the Certo recipe, like yours, for strawberry freezer jam. What is confusing is that the recipe calls for 2 cups ripe strawberries, equal to 1 quart. Since there are 4 cups in a quart, this doesn’t make sense. My jam turns out perfectly with the 2 cups of strawberries. I shared the recipe with a friend and she used 4 cups of strawberries. Could you clarify?

Thanks.
Judi

Hello! My name is Sara Beth and I love your Tiktok videos. You have inspired me to want to be a baker. I am in 8th grade and we are doing speeches on occupations, I chose baker. I was hoping that I could ask you some questions that I can reference in my speech. I listed them below and would greatly appreciate any response. Thank you!!

What made you decide to become a baker?
What is a typical day for you?
What is the most rewarding thing about being a baker?
What is the most challenging thing about your job?
If you could go back, would you pick this job
If you weren’t a baker, what other job would you like to do right now?
What advice would you give someone, who wants to be a future baker?

I would love to speak with you about a potential baking/Candy making cookbook that would be tied to one of the biggest video game IP’s in the world. Let me know if you are interested.

Hello.
I plan on making the beer cake mug for Father’s Day . Just wondering if I can use Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream instead of the Vanilla American buttercream listed ( for the in between layers, crumb coat and final coat) and will either of those meringue take to the tan colour of the gel colouring?
Kind of nervous making this. I hope it is as easy as it looks…
Thx you.
Anna

Hello..
I plan on making your beer cake mug for Father’s Day but can I use Italian meringue or Swiss meringue buttercream instead of the vanilla American buttercream, for the foam , the frosting in between the cakes , the crumb coat and final frosting? Will I still be able to create the tan shade I too?

In reply to Chelsweets. Hello there. I'm glad I stumbled upon this window! My sister was a professional cake decorator for several bakeries in my city. She has completed A LOT of wedding cakes over the years. She's very picky. We only use Duncan Heinz for baking cakes. After cooling, she also sprays on an reduced Amaretto spray on the cakes to keep them from drying out when it's time to assemble and decorate. Don't forget to put wooden dowels inside the cake layers. If its chocolate flavor, bake 5 minutes less when using a teflon coated or dark aluminum pan. God's Blessings and Protection during this Crisis.

In reply to Kawthar Zaman. Hi Kawthar, Sadly I'm not sure, I've never tried doing that! A lot of times buying ingredients on their own (flour, granulated sugar, etc.) and making batter from scratch are actually cheaper than buying a bunch of cake mixes though <3 Sorry I can't be of more help!

Hi! I was wondering if cake made using cake mix ( I know they are not the same in taste) would work for a wedding cake? I’m trying to find ways that would be more cost effective for me. Would the cake not hold?

I have literally decided last night to start my own cake business out of my home! I went straight to YouTube to start my research. Typed in, how to start a cake business from home. And you were the first to pop up. Three hours later I’ve watched at least 20 videos if yours! I just loved how clear and concise you were on the what you need to essentially start the business. I think I heard right that you were an accountant. I am a year away from an accounting degree so your emphasis on coming up with pricing your time caught my eye immediately. Chelsea, you will be my go to mentor as I start this journey of baking cakes in my kitchen starts!!! Thank you!??
