The ULTIMATE Cookies and Cream Cake! | How To Cake It with Yolanda Gampp

rolling cookies and cream ready yeah ready i'm ready this week i'm making a mega cake that i've been wanting to make for a long time i'm making a cookies and cream mega cake you're welcome to make this cake i made four pounds of my ultimate vanilla batter then i chopped up some mini oreos and folded them into that batter do you see that right now there's already cookies and cream in the cake okay oh my gosh that's so good it was so beautiful and you know what's interesting is like cookies and cream is a flavor but let's be honest the only cookie people are using is oreo oreo nobody's like oh gee does that have oatmeal swirled in the buttercream no you we know what cookie you're talking about everyone i've made three pounds of my chocolate batter and the first thing i need to do is press an oreo crust down into my cake pan so i mix together oreo crumbs sugar butter melted butter pressed them in the pan and then i poured my chocolate batter over that and baked it all as one okay so this recipe is definitely going on the blog there's no choice this recipe is the blog it's called cookies and creamit.com we're just changing the whole the other recipes are quivering as we speak even simple syrup is worth even simple syrup [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay i'm gonna this this cook is get this cooked this cake is cookies and cream like personified it's the embodiment of cookies and creams with a decomposed what do you think of cake and decompress at the same time it's like a deconstructed version of cookies and cream folded in the oreo cookies to the vanilla like how did it what did the cake look like like just bits of oreo and all over yeah bits of little bits of oreo all over yeah and it was really nice because they didn't sometimes when you fold heavier things into batter it really sinks to the bottom they didn't completely sink so they were speckled within the vanilla cake so now i have all four layers of cake prepared and ready to be simple syrup um i'm gonna let the simple syrup soak into my layers and in the meantime i'm going to make some oreo buttercream so those same crumbs i used to make the crumb crust i'm going to fold them into italian meringue buttercream this is now the second time in what a very short while that i have intentionally put crumbs in buttercream once i get to the third we're gonna need to do something about me call the authorities [Music] i have my oreo buttercream i have two packs of double stuffed oreos because i'm not playing that when i cut the cake you'll see them more i still remember when they invented double stuff it was like it was an event in your life well yeah i mean now oreo has like come so far they have like every flavor every but i remember when they invented double seven i was like i could have twice the cream do you prefer traditional oreos or double stuff i think it depends on my mood in this cake i definitely prefer double but if i'm eating an oreo i do prefer traditional yeah it's the right ratio and then i also have some chocolate ganache that is dyed black because even though oreos are technically chocolate they're very dark and now i can build this mega cake starting from the bottom the first cake i place down onto my board is the chocolate cake with the oreo crumb crust so now i spread on some of my oreo italian meringue buttercream a nice even layer and i really want to neaten up the sides and make sure that the layer of buttercream is really neat because this is kind of the canvas for where i'm going to lay on all the double stuffed oreos i bet you there are paintings of oreos guaranteed so i line up the oreos and this is when i feel like cake euphoria because normally when i do stuff like this in my mind i'm like okay yolanda accept it's not gonna work out perfectly it worked out perfectly without you planning it my subconscious knew my subconscious was like the circumference of eleven oreos in a circle is equal to i have no idea what happened but it worked out and i'm happy now before i add this the next cake layer i want to make sure that that calculator sticks to the oreos but i don't want to ice over the oreos and mess up the pattern so what i'm going to do is put some of my italian meringue buttercream in a piping bag and pipe little dollops on the surface of each oreo now i can carefully add a layer of my vanilla oreo cake what i did right just checking my notes so because this cake is much lighter in color this is where i'm going to spread my black chocolate ganache again nice even layer make sure it's really neat at the sides and then i'm going to repeat my oreo my double stuffed oreo pattern i'm not alternating the cake layers because i want the crumbs to be on the bottom and then at the very top so this time i'm going back in with my vanilla oreo layer here's the problem i need ganache to make sure that that cake layer sticks to the oreos and once again i didn't want to spread ganache on the oreos and mess them up i flipped my cake layer over i iced the bottom of it neatly and then i really carefully picked it up and flipped it onto the cake nobody else gets as excited about this as me i'm like oh no you lined up you missed the whole cake will be lopsided i have this whole inner dialogue and then when it comes time for interview and i announce it everyone's just like no yolanda that was that flip was incredibly impressive thank you jocelyn thank you thank you it's your turn now thank you um okay and then add the final chocolate cake layer with the crumb side up so you see the metaphor is this a yeah it's a metaphor for what an oreo is because there's a cookie sandwiching the goodness inside this cake is deep so now it's time to crumb coat and chill this glorious cake with more of the i know the beautiful thing is i'm crumb coating and chilling and i technically i'm protecting the cake from crumbs even though i'm using crummy buttercream yeah i don't know what to do and once my crumb coat is chilled i'm going to ice my cake again with this beautiful buttercream i just love the way it looks it reminds me of like concrete like it's it's so beautiful so nice i love the way it looks so i want to ice it i'm going to use a bench scraper to get it as smooth as i can smooth out the top and then i'm going to put it in the fridge to chill and make some ganache to drip um just look at the camera i'm gonna do that the whole interview guys i'm basically making the exact same chocolate ganache that's on the inside of black chocolate ganache i just had to make the ganache i used for the filling ahead of time so it was spreadable but this ganache i don't want to be spreadable i want it to be drippable triple bone what you want to do is once the chocolate and cream are ready to be stirred together when they're still a little bit warm that's when you add your food coloring and the reason i'm adding the food coloring to dark chocolate ganache is because i'll need so much less food coloring because it's already dark i mean already i've talked about so many of my recipes vanilla cake chocolate cake simple syrup italian meringue buttercream ganache and i'm so happy to tell you that right now we are offering a free four-week course it's my cake and icing basics program where i walk you through all of these recipes i just mentioned and more step by step what i wanted to do was just answer all of the questions i get over the last five years about my buttercream about simple syrup and why you use it about how to get the perfect batter and i'm just i'm so proud of it i take you through all of my foundations and you get to go through it at your own pace this really is the beginning of being a great baker and it's completely free there's a link below where you can sign up for my free cake and icing basics program so i'm placing this lovely black ganache into a parchment paper piping bag and what you want to do is hold the tip right at the top corner of your cake just slightly over the top okay jocelyn's favorite item a parchment paper piping bag and how you create the drip is you start to squeeze the more you squeeze the more your drip will drip down the cake you squeeze and you move because you just don't want one big blob and once that's done you squeeze out the rest of your ganache onto the top center of the cake and then use a small offset spatula to really spread it nice and smooth and bring it out to meet that border you created i want this ganache drip to set before i decorate the top so i'm gonna put it in the fridge to chill and in the meantime i'm gonna take some oreos up a notch how do you take oreos up a notch exactly this is the question i asked i i studied uh i meditated on it and no i really so what i've decided is to melt some pink chocolate wafers and then i have one of our sprinkle blends and what i'm gonna do is dip oreo by oreo halfway you know what's great about dipping an oreo halfway i'm gonna tell you i didn't mark each oreo and make a mark but because they say oreo in the middle you can use that like always dip to the same letter you see and before the chocolate sets sprinkle on your sprinkles [Music] i love sprinkles because they're a noun and a verb it tells you like what they are and how to apply them it's true i've put more of my italian meringue buttercream my oreo metal metallian [Music] i've always wanted to go to middle east you know what the worst i'm this is do we have time for a cake confession this is the worst thing because often when i'm talking about oh really just cut off my confession what happened he just or um change is cut like i think is why no it stops automatically i didn't cut it yeah right you noticed that the minute i was about to pour out my feelings changus took the camera off so now i'm going to pipe mounds of buttercream on top of my cake right on top of that black chocolate ganache when i pipe my mouth i like to think about my cake like the face of a clock so i'll pipe like twelve o'clock six o'clock three o'clock nine o'clock and then pipe in between uh oh my gosh have you seen i think that there's some app it allows you to take a picture of yourself and then it shows you what you'd look like if you were perfectly symmetrical oh weird that sounds depressing so somebody did it to like a bunch of celebrities and whoa they look worse yeah it looks weird like you instantly recognize there's something wrong with their face when technically their face has been corrected to be perfectly symmetrical um okay and off topic so back to oreos so i've piped the mounds i'm really happy with the way they look and what i want to do is position my beautifully dipped double stuffed oreos between those mounds and i want the pink dipped part to sort of stick out so i'm going to sandwich the non-dipped part between the mounds i really i really just love this it doesn't read as a mega cake to me because normally when i make a mega cake like i'm trying to make a statement on the top so now i'm going to just pile oreos on the top [Music] yep i'm going to pile oreos on top uh you can use a little bit of the black ganache to help sandwich sandwich i'm sandwiching sandwich i'm sandwiching sandwich cookies it's sandwich cookie section so i'm just making uneven i'm so proud of myself i'm even piles of oreos in the middle and then i'm going to dress them up with some mini oreos yeah [Music] [Applause] when i make megan cakes this is when i'm like i can't wait to cut it into this yeah mainly because i just wanted to see like that the oreos stayed in place and look neat and they do so how did it taste oh my gosh we almost had an embarrassing chocolate peanut butter moment here like i was drooling really yeah it was just so good would you choose cookies and cream or chocolate and peanut butter no i choose cookies and cream really yeah it was just so good can't get enough cake check this out here's my cake confession often when i'm sitting here telling you guys how i made a cake i've already made that cake but i'm in the middle of making a different cake and the cake i'm making now is stressing me out and i'm just thinking about what a lovely time i had making this cookies and cream cake i'm reminiscing
