Jamie's Food Tube the Cake Book: Seasonal Baking With Cupcake Jemma

Just a little hint to all of you doing the conversion from grams to cups...don't do it! Buy yourself a little kitchen scale and weigh your ingredients, it's simple and far more accurate. You can get a scale that weighs in ounces or grams, and if you get one with a tare button you can weight your flour in your mixing bowl, press the tare button to zero it out then add your sugar and so on, weighing all of your dry ingredients into the same bowl.

I've already made six of the recipes and they're amazing! Everyone is always really impressed with the cupcakes I've made per this book. They always have a lovely texture. If only I could decorate them as lovely as Jemma does....
The book contains a variety of cupcakes. The flavors range from familiar (variations on chocolate) to unconventional (lavender cupcakes?!). The recipes also teach some simple methods that can be transposed into making your own (how to infuse milk to add flavor).
Things to know: measurements are metric. GET A KITCHEN SCALE. Know your oven: I've overbaked a few batches. Stock up on "weird" ingredients you probably wouldn't have in your pantry (rose petals, matcha).

I bought this book after subscribing to Cupcake Jemma's youtube channel. I love her style, whimsy and top tips for baking the best cupcakes and bakes. I only wish she'd open a shop in California! The book is full of great recipes, most of them seen on her youtube channel. One thing I wish though is that the book was spiral bound as it is difficult to keep open without propping it up. Minor detail. Otherwise, the book would be a great addition to your recipe collection!

All the recipes in her book use almost 1:1 ratio of butter to flour and the resulting cupcake just oozes butter when baked. She doesn't specify the type of flour she uses but I used plain unbleached flour with added ingredients to make it "self rising flour". Just beware.

Absolutely Amazing!! The only thing is that because I live in the US, we use a different system of measurement so I had to go get a scale. But other than that, this book is incredible, easy, and I’ve made delicious treats with it!

I was somewhat disappointed as I thought this was tied into her you tube videos. Assumed her basic recipes were here for carrot cake etc since this was her first cake book. Oh well. Back to the web I guess. Print is far too small.

The prints are too small n difficult to read
Must improve in the prints need darker n bigger printouts.

I am a HUGE fan of Jemma and Jamie so when I found out she had a book, I knew I just had to get it! So far I have made her chocolate cupcakes and her vanilla buttercream. I have made her buttercream more than once and it has now become my go-to recipe. I made the mistake of not using it once and that other recipe was horrible compared to hers! It wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I had gotten used to by using Jemma's technique and recipe.

Jamie's Food Tube the Cake Book is a small, cute book full of fun recipes. There are some that I probably wouldn't make (like the Rosemary Honey and Yogurt Load) but that's only because I don't care for those flavors. If you are a fan of Jemma, I would recommend this book! The price is right so even if you just get it to read, it's totally worth it.

It's perfect! I follow Jemma on YouTube and love her recipes. It's nice to have some of her recipes as a hard copy instead of all the screenshots I take her from videos.

I love Jemma’s YouTube channel and I’m sure the directions are good, but the print is so small and so light I can’t read the recipes!

I asked my daughter and granddaughter if they could read the print and they couldn’t either, so I’m not going to blame my eyesight.

Maybe I just received a poorly printed copy, but I’m very disappointed.
