What a delightful person. I am always impressed when someone clearly has professional pastry chef level of skill but still relates to and can easily speak to non-professional home bakers. Thank you for introducing us to Natasha!

Claire Saffitz had her on her channel. It was quite a while back (2 yrs). They were making yummy savoury scones and she gave her some great tips and tricks on how to make them. Natasha is also such a great chef and person. Here’s the link... kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoiL2beyZ5S3XbQ.html

Please feature her more! I love how she demonstrates and teaches. She describes each step, each work as it is and that's what's important when teaching. :)

Her way of building cakes is genius. Nothing is more stressful than splitting a round cake into multiple layers. It seems like it would bake way more evenly in a sheet pan too. So many times I’ve had chiffon bake unevenly in a round.

Every single step of this tutorial was well-illustrated and explained-a simply stellar presentation. And the cake looks fantastic as well! Thank you!!

Homemade cake is always better than wedding cakes. I've never had a wedding cake I was thrilled about. Also, guests don't care about how pretty a cake is. Give me a delicious sheet cake over a fondant wedding cake any day! Great video!

A helpful tip if you do want a smooth final coating of Swiss buttercream is after whisking it back together, use the flat edge beater attachment on the lowest speed for 5-10 mins. This will keep the air in the buttercream, but completely smooth it out leaving you with a professional looking finish!

YES! Those bubbles (along with no dowels or straws to support the layers) really brought out my OCD, LOL!

God, I love this so much. Natasha's spirit is so infectious! My favourite part is when she says 'ok, we're in the home stretch' and it's really just the 15 minute mark of a 35 minute video!

You had me at charred citrus compote

What a wonderful recipe and tutorial! I just spent the afternoon reading Natasha’s new cookbook “More Than Cake” in which she offers the same thoughtful, calming, and insightful teaching style (and lots of great tips) paired with well written, vibrant recipes for fresh spins on all sorts of delights. One of my favorite baking books of the year! I am feeling so inspired to make this gorgeous cake! Thank you and would love to see more videos from Natasha.

This is just beautiful, and she's super chill all the way, which I could never do. I think I'd fuck this up just by trying to make everything perfect and symmetrical. That thing with the streaky batter had me in hives. I kept reassuring myself: she knows what she's doing, it's fine. 😂

She speaks like she's in love with the science and beauty of food and I could hear her talk for hours

I watch cooking videos all the time - this was one of the BEST in terms of highly informative instructions and a great, reassuring energy. Every step and technique was so thought through, and no ingredients (even the peels!) went to waste. Bravo!

I've never done this kind of thing before but I was so inspired and I made it!!! It was DELISH!!!! Lots of work but so worth it.

This queen is so good at talking about dessert and making you excited about them. Her hazelnut semifreddo vid from Munchies is really making me wonder why she doesn't do more things like this! She needs to be featured more on YT!

I made this cake recently, and my family absolutely loved it! Thank you for this excellent recipe ❤❤❤!! Looking forward to more delicious cakes from you!!

She's so delightful

Made this for my sister’s birthday🧡a true showstopper!🥰

All of Natasha's explanation is so clear yet illustrative, it is the opposite of redundant! that sheet bake hack and frankensteining that middle cake layer is simply genius

Okay, I LOVE Natasha. Please more Natasha videos!!!

What a fabulous teacher! I feel like I could actually make a wedding cake now. A killer wedding cake. Thank you.

This cake is gorgeous. Innovative, beautiful, and personal. It's far more interesting and sophisticated compared to the usual "vanilla plaster buttercream (aka american buttercream) and cheap berry filling im used to at weddings! I like how the purpose of this video is to get us to make our friend's wedding cake 😂 the probability of me doing this for my closest friend's wedding though is 0%

A scaled down version would be fabulous!

This gorgeous cake actually feels like something I can tackle at home and I hate baking. What a great explanation from Natasha and her creative combination of textures and flavors is unlike anything I've ever seen before. More Natasha desserts please!

really cool recipe. Makes me wanne try it out. And so funny, her fast way of acting and talking is really giving high stakes professional kitchen.

Love her philosophy and approach to baking! I made a carrot cake recently for a friend's birthday and added meyer lemon curd I had sitting in the freezer in between the layers and cream cheese frosting. People kept telling me nonstop during the party that it was the best carrot cake they'd ever had. Definitely will be trying this recipe in the near future!

Oh she's brave!! I'd love to try! But Maybe not as a wedding cake- (could just imagine the bride or groom having anxiety about it not being perfect or being "weird" tasting 😅😅) but more for like for a birthday backyard bbq or a gradation party- something a little less stressful than a wedding!🎉

Uhhh it looks so good and the way she showed seems to be achievable for everyone ❤

such a beautiful cake that sounds and looks delicious. i really wish i could eat it ! i loved this presenter too she was so engaging and clear and thorough ☆☆

Gorgeous! Delightful presentation. I love this renaissance of making fancier pastries for your friends and family.

Made this sucker, followed the directions exactly, darn near perfect! I recommend trying to get most of lumps out of batter before working in the egg whites as I left “small lumps” and some didn’t really mix out all the way. Otherwise, no notes! Delicious!

A beautiful and unique cake and she’s such a lovely person. Explained everything so well and her personality made it so easy and fun to watch the video. I want more videos with her 💛

OMG - so much love in this cake! I will gladly pay a baker lots of money knowing what goes into such a creation!!

Yaaaay, I love Natasha

Amazing video and what a beautiful soul she has, please bring her to do more of this wedding cake videos 💛😊

I love the way she speaks to the audience ❤ definitely wanna try this cake for myself haha

I just love Natasha vibes, and her recipes... truly shine with a burst of fresh creativity!

This video was thoroughly enjoyable! What a unique flavor combo. I'm not sold on the blackened parts of the compote but would still try!

It is such a pleasure to watch this! So mouthwatering, relaxing and satisfying! 😋Describing every little bit of the process so eloquently and imaginatively Natasha makes it so easy and fun to imagine how the cake might taste in terms of flavor, fragrance and texture! 🍊🌺🌿 Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕

This was so fun to watch and I love how descriptive but relatable she was

This video was so well done, well explained and got me really excited! This is the kind of cake I’d love for my wedding. ❤

Fantastic tips and creative ideas! Thank you.

Love Natasha. This cake looks amazing and it's the perfect inspiration that I needed to make my brother's wedding cake!

I loved this

Love, love love this!! I want to do one now ❤

Such a great recipe! I hope I find an occasion to make it for soon. Natasha, you and your recipe are both a delight!❤

Natasha is awesome. Super inspiring.

Wow! Great teacher!

Love Natasha and love her cookbook!!!! Will refer to this video in the future :)

Loved it!

Awesome video with every word on point🎉

Natasha did a fantastic job with this video. I cannot WAIT to grab her cook book! Thanks for sharing the recipe and your knowledge!

One of my favorite NYT cooking videos ever! So many tips that we can use in this recipe and carry with us to baking in general. And the flavor creativity!! Would love to see more of Natasha.

I have made wedding cakes for friends twice but dang I wish I had seen this video before then - would have been a lot more straightforward!

I love this! I feel like I could try to make a wedding cake after watching this video💜

This is a masterpiece 🎉

I cant wait to try it

inspiring and frantic

Helpful tip, add dowels in the middle of the bottom cake to support the top cake. Chiffon is a very delicate sponge and it is going to get squished if you omit it.

I was so stressed watching that part. Cake will be PIE in no time flat - especially if you cut it without taking it apart!

Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and expertise. If I had the energy, I’d not wait for a wedding to make this.

so simple looking but so complex, it must be a dream!!!

simply brilliant. I completely enjoyed every moment of this video. Super.

Loveeed this episode! Wants to see more content with her!

I so loved this episode - Natasha is brilliant and such a great teacher! This cake looks so delicious and I am going to make it soon even though I don't have any weddings coming up!

Such a delicious cake and the instructions are terrific! I've tried and failed to make sponge but this makes it look doable. I'd love to see a pared down version so I can make this for a smaller group. I may try it but it's a lot of components to figure out the smaller quantities

So knowledgable! Learned so much from your clear explanations How/Why. Your enthusiasm is contagious :)

Love it🤘gonna try making this one day🙏🤞👍

I remember when she was a guest on Claire Saffitz's channel, she mentioned that her palette tends to lean more savory even in baked goods, and I can certainly see that in action here

Tender and toothsome...♥️

More Natasha please!

Amazing video

Loved this video one question no dowels for support?

Natasha is so amazing as a pastry chef! I have been watching her for so many years and so excited to get my hands on her first book ever! Loving this whole homemade/rustic concept. It gels well with me and how i guess some people see things in life. Please bring her in for more videos NYT! We just are in love!

Id love a game plan suggestion for actually making the cake and its components so i could achieve something this stunning before my wedding.

This was awesome rendition of a wedding cake. I don’t think wedding cake should be made any other way. This would truly be a memorable cake for any occasion.

The one problem I see with attempting to construct this cake in a home kitchen is the need for *a lot* of storage space in a refrigerator and freezer -- not just "organized" but virtually empty before starting the project.

I want to make this cake now just so I can taste the flavor profile.

Thank you! This is such an inspiring tutorial! I am making GF version of this cake. Do you have any suggestions?

Everything is perfectooo but being a home baker I am curious about the structure of the cake there is no dowels or plastic pipes in the base layer to support the top layer wont it squish the cake

I’m so distracted by her beautiful hair✨

Great video and explanations for making a multi tiered cake. But the hair- although very beautiful should at least be tied back. No professional would be allowed to enter a kitchen with loose hair.

@@SrJohnnyCat yes true, its a really good video but still in a kitchen. I worked as a chef for 30 years and the first thing you did was put a hat on or tie up your hair, male or female. It's like washing your hands and getting ready to cook whether at home or work. Nothing worse then hair in your food. And believe me it finds a way.

Beautiful cakes! Is there a way to access recipes without a subscription?

Sooo much to learn here what a delightful chef! One of the biggest revelations for me is using sheet pans - no need to invest in all kinds of sizes to bake in! Any experienced eye out there can telll me what size sheet pans she is using? Looks bigger than 9x13 but how much bigger..

Looks delicious! Is this recipe anywhere for us folks that don’t subscribe NYT?

Does anyone have a sense of how many guests a two-tier cake of this size would feed when sliced this way? I'm always off with larger-scale cake portions, and when I look at charts it never seems to work out in real life. I'd be really curious to know how many slices she would get out of this cake as made.

❤❤❤

It’s gorgeous! And looks delicious! But where does one get a kumquat tree with fruit? I LOVE kumquats & wish I could grow one in a pot. I’ve grown Meyer lemons…

Citrussy

how many people can eat out of this cake you reckon?

She put like half a garden on top of it

My goodness I want to taste a little bite. Lol

Where are the supports?

so much better when i realized she's saying SOAK and not soap

Its the first time I see a pastry chef touching her hair and cake at the same time.

Curious as to why she didn't whip the meringue (for the buttercream) to stiff peaks before adding the butter (like every other Swiss meringue buttercream recipe)?

This was different! My only concern is making a cake, stacking it, and cutting it like this and it not SINKING - needs support, no???

How many people do you think this is for? 50? I don't think she mentioned it

so. many. words,

4:43 😏💗

something that really annoys me about NYT cooking is that sometimes their recipes are incomplete. In the vid she adds water to the before adding the flour. On the website there is no water mentioned in the recipe.

Lovely cake! But I'm really not sure about the burned parts... they seem very carcinogenic 😢 I'd feel weird offering that at a wedding.

Please provide a scaled down recipe so we can enjoy this cake without needing to feed 60 people!

While this looks good - I am shocked there was no mention or nod to Christina Tosi/Milkbar style of layer cakes (which this looks like an almost replica of that)
