Is there an alternative that non alcoholic buttercream to your mince pie cupcakes?
Hi Jemma. Love your videos. Can you tell me, are the oven temps you quote for conventional or fan oven?
Yum yum ehmmmm
what brand food processer do you use?
Do you make anything vegan in your shop? 🙂
4,003rd yay I'm like so early!! (not😀!) PS love you Jemma and your recipes
Please make A&Q video!
I have not heard that if you're early, you'll get a reply or some other stupid trick like that, but, I too want to have a reply and talk about my weirdly humble thoughts.
this reminds me of the new fruitcake frap at starbucks (fyi it's disgusting and i got it only for the cute cozy sleeve that comes with it, totally worth)
wow this sounds amazing ! im making these, instead of my usual x happy christmas Jemma
These look so good, I'm definitely going to attempt baking them this week xx
Is H&M sponsoring this christmas recipes because she is wearing everyone of the christmas collection in each video
I dont know if im just weird but i like to see people eat what they make.
that ad is an ad from Botswana???? wooow!!!
Is there a brand of butter you would recommend for the decorative shortbread? We use Lurpak but it doesn't stay cold!
Forever jealous of how sleek your hair is. Mine is straight like yours but frizzy as hell. 😩
alas… another one bites the dust and buys a Kitchen Aid Mixer..
What happened to the ever trustworthy KENWOOD?😔
Saying that, great recipe!
You always make me hungry!!😋
Those are gorgeous I love them.
Hi Jemma! Thank you for all of your wonderful Christmas recipes, would you be able to make one that's really cute and suitable for children?

hi Jemma! awesome video! Please share your brilliant Tiramisu Cupcake recipe. I think my Aunts will love them since they're coffee fanatics. 😀
watching 10 hrs later
How long can you leave pastry in the fridge?
I've seen quite a few recipes on Pinterest for stainglass cookies (melted boilet sweets) and I'd love to see your version? 😀
Those cupcakes look awesome!
Hi, you made my secret wish come true…
I was last saturday in London and of course went to your shop where I had – among some other cupcakes – one of these. They were realy amazing.
I love your channel and looking forward to the treats you will share with us.
Love Doris
I had the mini one at C&D and loved it!! The girls were super sweet too 😍
MashAllah
is there a difference when you use unsalted butter and salted butter in the buttercream icing???
Love the way she laughs ❤️❤️❤️
Hello jemma I would like to ask you a recommendation to make mini cupcakes in my baby shower, I will have a boy in February and I would like to make a table of sweets with cupcakes and mini cupcakes related to the birth of my baby. I myself will prepare everything, so I would like it to be very rich but sensible to perform and decorate and still festive …. you could recommend me some simple recipe and decoration for both cupcakes … I would like them to be different, so that If you see the table varied, so that the minicupcakes differ from the normal size cupcakes. And if it were possible that I could leave them ready the day before to not be running that same day since I am pregnant and I will do everything alone. Thanks in advance if you have time to answer my question. Iliana from Canada.
Seriously, she has THEE most amazing fringe; I can't stop looking at how straight it is 😮 #jelly
I've been hunting for a decent MPC recipe for ages & when I watched this last night I just had to give it a go. I don't keep booze in so went & got some brandy today & Oh my lord, I'm so glad I did! Without doubt THE BEST recipe I've found so far & I'm not even joking when I say I ate 5 of them still warm from the oven! Also, that buttercream is to die for! Thank you soooo much! 😀
Hi Jemma!
I love the way you iced your cupcakes just with a spatula and I can see you have a lot of practice! I love the thing that you don't always have to use a piping bag to ice your cupcake, and with spatula it's not just beautiful as if you were to pipe them, but it's also quicker!
Also, nice touch with the cookies…beside sprinkling demerara on top, you could sprinkle some cinnamon too!
Keep up the good work and I wish you, your family and your friends (and everyone on earth of course) a very Happy Christmas! 🎄🎉❤️😍🤗
Hi Jemma, my mom and I were wondering what authentic figgy pudding is? We would like to hear back from you. Thanks. We enjoy your show so very much, we don't miss an episode. love from Canada!
YouTube, I'm glad this person made a significant amount of money for you this year, but please stop rubbing it in my face.
What are some other ways you can use burnt butter? I love the idea of throwing that in recipes!!!
Feel sorry for your tree…poor thing..it's half dead 😂
Damn! .. and I thought mince pies couldnt get any better!
the way you perfectly frost those cupcakes by hand is unbelievable, when i try it my cupcakes explode
love them jemma , thank you so much
I love you and crumbs and dollies too 💕💕💕💕💕😍😍😍😍

I get a kick out of “free range eggs” and then you ink your self all up with God only knows what vile crap was on the needle, machine, or drug infested parlor
Do I need the brandy anyone know???
