I feel like sign language could be a cool theme for a cake. I don't know how but it sounds like a cool idea. What do ya think?
And for the record.... the ice from Chick-fil-A and Sonic, which is sometimes called soft ice, is THE best. I love it because it's SOOOOO easy to crunch afterward. Easy way to stay cool and get your hydration on during the summer!
My 7 year old daughter thinks you are the “handsomest’ man on tv- she adores mermaids and now you are her hero! Keep up the good work; your cakes are stunning!
I absolutely love this cake. As a Cali girl born and raised in the Bay Area, who just moved to Chicago I’ve been missing the beach and this cake made me so happy. I wish you and Yolanda from how to cake it would collaborate on a cake!
You really make me feel like I could make a cake, then I'm like "nah girl sit down".

Come, yes you can. Try to bake something easy I believe you will get it.
Can't wait to watch this with my son. As soon as I saw the notification I asked him if he wants to see an underwater cake with cute little sea critters and he yelled "CAKE" and then in his garbled toddler speak asked if there's a sea horsey and when I said "there sure is" it just increased his excitement ten-fold. We both absolutely love your awesome cakes and they're delicious as well. Proof that food creations can be beautiful on the outside and tasty on the inside Edit: We just finished watching and now my son wants me to make this for his birthday, only with his boat Chase bath toy on the top instead of the merman tail (he's obsessed with Paw Patrol and Chase is his favourite). You did an amazing job and you guys are always funny with the banter 😆

Hey, ik its been 2 years but if you made the cake what have u used for the coral technique?
I can't bake to save my life, but I love watching your channel! I figure if I'm ever around someone who's baking, and their doing something wrong, I can tell them so with confidence and just a touch of superiority.
SO EXCITED!!!! As an aspiring baker myself, I LOVE watching your videos! I have learned so much from you! I was just watching the new episode of Nailed It and saw you as a guest host. This crossover connection totally made my day! Keep making amazing cakes!
Sonic ice (crushed ice) IS the best!! It has the most surface space for the drink to get around and get cold.
Uh duh Sonic ice is the best! Those little crunchy nuggets of frozen water are perfect.
Quoting Zoolander, from Atlanta, & Mermanderson Cooper? Loving this channel even more.
Technically star fish don't exist. They are called sea stars. As you can tell I am invited to lots of parties. Joking aside, this is an amazing cake JJR! Great job!

I love mermaids, the sea, vanilla cakes, cakes in general, and I was born on the 26th. This is my fave vid so farrrrrrr. Love youuuuuuuuuu Joshua
I never really was any good at baking, and I still have lots to learn, but thanks to you I have learned so much all while having fun watching your amazing videos! Love all your videos, you never fail to impress with your creative cakes :)
Mermanderson Cooper. Lol. I hope he watches your show.

OML YESSS! I think a Hogwarts Houses themed cake would be fucking awesome. Like each quarter or layer of cake could be a different house with the colors and representative animals or something like that.
It’s the first time I looked at one of your videos and I am already hooked. The first one was enough to become a new subscriber. In my country (I am from France) it’s not unusual to see a man baking or making cakes since the main part of our best pastry artists are men (Pierre Hermé, Thierry Marx, Christophe Michalak...) but it’s the first time I see an english-speaker man making beautiful “scrap cooking” and it’s refreshing. I love the bright colors of this cake. I love everything about sea life themed food in general and I found your corals shaping technique very ingenious. Thank you so much and keep going !
Seriously! Again! Another epic cake from the master of cake 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Sonic has the BEST ICE!!! Its perfect for anyone who eats ice.!!!!! I love it and i forever will.
I’m not entirely sure the names of specific ice shapes...but my absolute favorite are the ring-shaped ones that you can put your straw right through. It’s soooo satisfying and fun. That little pebble ice is the WORST....sorry. I really enjoy your videos. From one pastry chef to another, you’re inspiring and talented. :)
Amazing. Can you do a Harry Potter cake
Your shirt fits the aesthetics of your kitchen!
Watching your videos has so inspired me. I’ve been a home baker for a long time and now I’ve decided to head to culinary school in the fall to actually learn how to become a pastry chef! Thanks for being an inspiration!
The coloring on this cake was astonishing! We absolutely love it!

He looked like a dolphin until you got him put together. Love the show! Wish I knew about the show 2 years ago! Sonic ice! Yes!!!
Your guy's videos get better and better with each one!! I mean, they are pretty great to begin with. You and your crew are the b e s t
Hey Joshua you should. collaborate with Rosanna pansino.she does amazing cakes like yours
YAAAAY! Love it love it love it! #28 like, and happy I was able to spot this! Hey, you're talented enough to retire young, get Craftsy to get your funds up, man, let's do this! Craftsy! You better pay this man better! XD Just as a tip, something that might help, Idk if you'd use this, but I've used the brown sugar and crushed graham crackers to make sand before, which is nice because it still has that texture and look, but it can also be shaped somewhat because of the sugar. Maybe it'll help?
I think your drawing are ADORABLE!!
