❤️‍🔥This is my next project. P.S. I am very newly vegan, or at least vegetarian, thanks in part to watching your content. It's been a long time coming, so thank you for inspiring this group to consider the animals that share this world with us.

Jess Cash

Imagine having this much talent, you’d never get bored!

Rebecca Valentine

gorgeous! Now I know what my wedding cake would look like if I had ever crossed that point in my life. ❤️

Cee Fee

Tina Higgs

Completely Gorgeous !

Cora Kathlea

Absolutely stunning!

TDF FDT

amazing.

Lauren

Can’t wait to make this. This was posted on my bday and a vegan spider cake was the birthday cake I never knew was possible but actualized my birthday perfection! You are awesome!

Melissa

This is so amazing. Christine you make me feel like I can literally do anything! With a little patience and creativity, it feels like anything could be possible. Is there a place where the recipes for cake and icing are and also the materials used?

Tati

I’m convinced you should have been a heart surgeon.

Christina Rodriguez

Steps 1-10: Oooh I could do this! Steps 11-90: Uhhhh never mind

Karmell Mazurek

are the recipes posted somewhere?

Smitten Kitten

This is like spooky Wedgwood!!! Beautiful!

Kara Andretta

We just need an audio track of you saying “Big swirl, baby swirl. Big swirl, baby swirl.” over and over and over. 🥰

Felicity

So beautiful 😍 but can you create a magnificent piece of art with whipped cream instead of buttercream?😀

Susan Urbanczyk

Everything you do is spectacular. I know you work hard and practice, practice, practice. I hope you are proud of your creations and the effort you put into your craft.

Robin Reed

Every time I thought it was perfect, you added something else and made it even more perfect. I love it.

Ashley Lucero

Does Christine make anyone else feel like they can do ANYTHING!? She gives me life and she breaks things down so well I’m like, “yeah! I can do that!!!” I love this so much can’t wait for the recipes 🙌🙌

Lyza

The intricacies and hanging icing kind of reminded me of the Sedlec Ossuary! I cannot wait to to try these vegan recipies!

MecaniqueFairy

OmG! Yes! Labyrinth is my favorite movie! XD

Gillian Weaver

I hope someone got to EAT that icing!

Patience Carlson

After watching so many of your videos I think you were the most gorgeous spider in a past life. The intricacies of this cake are just stunning, as is everything you do!!! 🖤🕸🕷🖤

Kathleen Smith

What happened to the rest of the cake??? I want to be your neighbor who you give your left overs too! 🤣

Allyson Galpin-Hernandez

DEFINITELY some form of GRAND cutting!

Arianne Rodriguez

Astonishing!

Kerry Feely

I feel like this cake should be cut with a sword

Kitty Lang

That is the most beautiful cake I have ever seen!

Debra Palermo

Amazing cake.

Lynn

Wonder if you have tried dates in replace of sugar?? I made a banana bread only using dates a couple of times, and I couldn't tell the difference. I think it's a great alternative for those who are reducing their sugar intake. Gorgeous cake. Another masterpiece!

Deborah West Shaulter

Just stunning, and so much fun to watch. I luv that you add a little spooky to everything.

vermont witch

I have your cookbook. I am vegan so I really appreciate these new baking videos. Thank you! That cake is a fabulous work of delectable art!

Camilo gonzalez

hey christine, weird question, but what time were you born? me and my partner are drawing bets to figure out your birth chart and i'm swinging for significant capricorn and virgo placements

Christie

Absolutely stunning!

Sara Morales

Seriously Christine, you are a diabolical GENIUS. You literally bring my imagination to corporeal life!!!!! For REAL, DO YOU WANT AN INTERN??? LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DOOOOO!!!

little taosenx

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Immaculate as always!!!!!! It was sooooooo satisfying to watch you cut into it at the end, too! Wow!

Joanne Zaborowski

robin bohn

love all the detail work, you always go above and beyond

foof

I'm in awe!!

Erica Oliva

Pretty much the only wish I want granted for the rest of my life is a birthday cake from Christine 😍

Jennifer Fowler

So relaxing to watch.

DMCM

There’s nothing Christine can’t do.

Karri Thompson

You are so talented ! I love your channel. By the way, I know you are a fan of Baumgardner Restoration. This is so funny. You need to watch this: https://youtu.be/nbOxD0kcgT8

Gorgon's Eye

I wonder how many days did it take you and captive to eat it up XD

Carrie

Looking for some other married childfree women to watch spooky movies with. Anyone else live in upstate New York?

Nicky Bee

Signing up to your Patreon is a dream come true Christine! I’m on week 23 of my pregnancy with my rainbow baby (normally we miscarry) and I’m 100% convinced that your show has helped make this possible! Thank you for helping to keep me calm & happy!! I am in love with your creativity! 🖤

Sheri Stoddard

Just when you think Christine couldn't possibly get any better ...she is now plant based!!! can't wait for the recipes!! The cake is spectacular Christine!

Emily Peck

I love the spiders!!! They're so cool, and look life-like!

Monique Nicole

This cake turned out lovely!

Bethany A. McConnell

This was so great! Thanks, Christine for doing this two-part project.

Chad

Amazing and flawless as always!

Robin D.

absolutely wonderful, although after all that work, Im afraid I wouldnt want to destroy it by eating it!

Katy Tolbard

If the person who sent you those pushpins has a shop can you pls link it?! They are so cute 💕💀

Yvonne

My daughter's 16th birthday is coming up, and we're trying to decide on a theme, so I showed her this cake. She said, since we're also going to a Haunted Museum, she wants her theme to be "Christine McConnell's House" 🖤 proud mom moment!!

Melissa Pinilla

I've said it a million times, but I have to say it again, you're amazing Christine! Thank you again for sharing your gifts with us!

Nora Dallaire

How has decorating the new house been going? I'm just dying to know! I know you mentioned your gross 80s oven on the baking portion of this project, and I ache inside for your bright sunny yellow kitchen, if only because it was done and this one is clearly not.

mrb

Everything you do is so amazing!

Linda

Amazing cake!

Roimata Ness

My son and I watched this and loved it!! My six year old says "I love your cake and I love your shows" - me too!

Jessica Haag

You 👏 are 👏 goals 👏

Jill Poudrette

Stunning!!!

Jane Good

Also, I have a suggestion for a movie night...how about Labyrinth? You could probably come up with a cool related project for it, too!

Jane Good

This is amazing! I absolutely love your string work it's stunning!

Renee Towsend

WOW! That was incredible!

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts

I loved this!

Noel Wharton

Stunningly gorgeous and absolutely incredible design work. Thank you so much for sharing this seemingly daunting cake project. What a work of art and love!

Michele Helsel

I have to just say that you inspire me so much. With all the chaos of the last year you have always been something I can count on to cheer me up! Thank you so much for sharing so much with us. Hope all is well, from Arizona ❤️

Kimberly H.

Wow....just wow! I only live an hour away. Next time you bake a creation, I am more than willing to help you eat it! 😋

Kittypants

Just wonderful!

Tanya Madrick

This was the best 28 min of the last 18 months for me. I enjoyed watching this almost as much as I would eating it. Thank you ❤️

Cj Franklin

You are my cake hero!

Toni Zoblotsky

That is the most beautiful cake I've ever seen.

Emmie

Holy crap! I'm still astonished by the sheer patience, tenacity and boundless creativity you have. Like, I didn't realize the cake was gonna be so dimensional lol and I never would have thought to decorate it that way 😍. How does your body not just hurt after standing and decorating for soooo long?

Nicholas Favia

Mind blowing as always! Can’t wait to try some of these techniques!

Abbie Frank

Miss Havisham's wedding cake!

Jessica

O M G !! 🤩 well done Christine 🖤

A Hughes

Wow! Just wow!

Latie George

That looks so unbelievably beautiful. A true work of art. It looks like something you pulled out of a dream world.

This was so relaxing to watch!!

Tammy R Dowden

Oh my gosh, that cake was GORGEOUS!! All that detail work was making my head spin, but the end result was just too beautiful!

Sophia Santini

Sooooo beautiful!!!

Mononoke Adams

Thanks for sharing Christine! The cake is perfect. I am going to make this cake next week (so excited). See you next episode/movie night.

Mardi Shakti

I dreamed about this cake ALL night after watching it! 😍💙

Kim Ravenscroft

Omgosh Christine you are so talented, your cake is amazing, I was totally captivated watching it unfold.

Kimberly Adamski

I am so appreciative not only of your gorgeous work but also showing folks that vegan baking is possible AND delicious <3 Thanks for thinking of the animals!

Heather Cherry-Roberts

An absolute astonishing piece of brilliance! Hoping another amazing book will be in the works for the future.

Sarah Cortez

Oh my gosh it's about time! You keep us waiting sooooo looooong! 💖💖🤓🤓

Sherrie Potgieter

My goodness at one slice!! 😄 I love it!

Sherrie Potgieter

I'm watching now and this is absolutely amazing, but I dont expect anything less from you, Christine. I just wanna eat it and the icing especially, with a big spoon...and the leak on the bag, in my mouth lol it probably doesn't help that I'm very hungry! Thank you for everything you do 😊 you're so, very gifted xoxoxo ~Sherrie

Bat-A-Boo

Picture it: A Great British Baking Show type program but with a gothic/creepy twist and Christine as host. Someone make this happen!

Cariushka

This is why she’s skinny and I’m not 🤣

Cariushka

Gorgeous! How many neighbors had to help you eat it? 🤣

Kim Geoffroy

So beautiful, I wouldn't want to eat it.

Satine ♡

This is incredible ! I can't wait to try te recipe ! 😍🖤

Liz Mednick

I'm excited about the aquafaba royal icing. I'll be using it on my gingerbread this Christmas!

Mji X

Mesmerizing! The joy I get from watching Christine create...just wow!

Victoria Gates

What a beautiful cake and episode 🕷 Thank you 🖤

Gillian Weaver

I liked the pearls. I'd add bats, but never in a million years, would I add spiders. Webs are cool, but I hate spiders.

Haley Brooks

It was so wonderful to see you baking! So relaxing and the most beautiful cake! Thank you!

Deidre Down

Thank you Christine. I love your videos. So relaxing for me watching you adorn this most beautiful cake! I know it would have been very hard work for you! You have such an amazing talent, whatever you take on to do for us all, as a project is just the best thing EVER to watch.

MecaniqueFairy

Lol! My roommate almost cried when it was time to cut the cake! She said it was too beautiful to be eaten! ^_^

Karl Beck

Loved the music on this episode too! Was that a theremin I heard?

Karl Beck

LOVED these episodes! Inspiring! WOW!

Kristen Duke

I’d rather cut one of my limbs off than cut into that gorgeous cake. Or maybe just save it it forever Miss Havisham style

chelle belle

These videos bring me so much joy. Pure gleeeeeeee!!!

Katherine

Loved it! ❤💖❤ Came out the same day I got my acceptance letter too, it's been a fantastic day today🎉

Sonja Tompkins

So happy to see you baking again! Loved this!

Annalise

Thank you for this great episode! Watching you work is such a zen moment for me. I feel like I should say namaste. The cake looks so beautiful and yummy!

DeeDee Wood

This might be the most beautiful cake I've ever seen-thank you for putting so much effort into it with your research, time and patience! It looks delicious and I'm sure it was hard cutting into such a masterpiece! Brava!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

That's what I was thinking!

JMCaptein

I hope you didn’t hurt yourself on this beautiful cake. I feel like I remember you mentioning repetitive motions can be painful for your hand/wrist ❤️

Maddy

I’m getting married on Halloween and I want to make my own cake so this is perfect, thank you

Shannon Hogue

How are you not popping those buttercream strips in your mouth after each chisel swipe! They would have went straight in my mouth!

Jack Beheler

thank you for the amazing content Christine! much love from Georgia! <3

GingerGeege

I cackled when she said that after all that work 🤣

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Such a beautiful cake, and the instructions were really clear - now I want to make a fancy cake! And vegan too. But I have to wait until one of the patrons makes a gluten free version.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

I think I would remake the entire dye recipe and add the black, and then dye it over the bright yellow lace. Trying to do just black over the top might end up with uneven color.

GingerGeege

Ma'am can we get your hummous recipe, too? 😁

Amanda Smith

What a treat to have this video! Thank you sweet Christine for making us these special videos just for us to enjoy first. Love from Kentucky

Carla Morgan

Watching this is like meditation! So beautiful and delicate. Watching you do the strings and eat the cake were my favorite parts.

Patrick Nottingham

I'd be really disappointed if you didn't add something creepy. I really love the elegant spiders. 🕷️

Paul Fliedner

I have missed the baking videos!! Thank you Christine! Lovely as always!

Lauren Elizabeth Burns

I’m wondering how many days this took to make, such an amazing cake 🌱💚

Emilie

What a beautiful, spindly, spider cake! I love the idea of vanilla schmallow cake. I'm not vegan, but deliciousness is deliciousness, and I always end up chucking the chickpea water anyhow! Now I can turn it into something awesome. Thanks as always <3

Jamie Casper

Wow! Absolutely stunning! 👏👏👏

Gothippy

Amazingly beautiful but I hated seeing you cut it!!! It needs to just stay it's beautiful self for ever on a shelf! 🤣 Thanks for a great episode

Christina Zavala

So beautiful!!The spiders were my favorite.It was hard watching you cut it

Keely

Love the icing! I think I can finally tackle a vegan gingerbread house now ! Thanks

Lisa Thibeault

Incredible 🖤

Clara Vratsanos

Thank you so much!

Fae

In the Netflix special, she did say she'd freeze it if that helps!

Clara Vratsanos

This is gorgeous and I hope to attempt it soon! Do you freeze the cake or just refrigerate it? xx

Sonja Kraner

I think you could add black if you use the same type of dye as the original colors. But I would snip a little piece to test, because it would be easy to go way too dark on accident.

Nichole C

As usual, simply amazing. Thank you for bringing us along for the whole process!

Kim K

Well done!!! We love that you made a stunning vegan cake! We were trying to guess what a cake like that could be priced at for a wedding and we thought minimum $750 probably more like $900 or more, its truly a work of art. You are my favorite modern day artist 🎨 :) It looks too good to eat but honestly I'd eat that in a heart beat.

Ali May

Christine your creativity is so inspiring and I love your videos so much, I wish I was as talented as you (doesn't stop me from trying), thank you for being an amazing role model 😊💛

Nicholas Frig

Also, for clarities sake, I used yellow, taupe, and a bit of gray which didn't really touch that yellow.

Sarah Wilson

Wow! What an incredible cake. I'm a baker/decorator, but I've never used the Lambeth method. I always wondered how to do those mounds! I'm definitely going to try this. It's an especially good method for a creepy or Halloween cake!

Nicholas Frig

I know this is a weird place to put this question, but I had a dye problem. I was dying the lace for the drapes project and I forgot to add the black to tone down that yellow and now...wow. Is that yellow. I didn't know if I am stuck with this and i need to get new lace to dye or if I could add a small amount of black and dye over this to tone it down. If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

Megan Benjamin-Evans (GeekGirlWho)

This was...there are inadequate words. This cake is absolute perfection! My birthday is coming up on June 5th and you posted this at the perfect time! I'm totally going to make a vegan creepy/elegant victorian cake to celebrate!! <3

Paige Phoa

Once again, thank you for the quality content. I love that you share your mind with us!

Emily

Love that this is vegan and its so so beautiful!

inge hakim

beyond beautiful cake... i cried when u cut it.... i will try the recipe but i think the decoration will be minimal... i dont have your patient :)

Tricia Slone

It's cold here in Indiana today and it put me in the mood to bake an apple crisp. I'm not talented enough to make this :) Loved the spider accents!

Anastasia

If I didn't see you doing it all step by step, I wouldn't believe it's possible to create such a beauty at home. I wonder if the space between the spider cameos is sort of butterfly-shaped on purpose.🤔 Beautiful, beautiful work.

Angela Coppola

I would interpret the rope as spider silk given the theme ;) I doubt it would hold, but imagine if you could put tiny pieces of candy glass as "dew" on the "silk"?

Taylor Makenzie

Wow, what a stunning cake!! Whenever I watch your videos I feel confident about my artistic abilities and your instructions are always so clear cut. However, my execution is never quite up to par... Alas, I shall do my best to make myself a stunning birthday cake in a few weeks.

Angela Pogue

Going to try these vegan recipes! Definitely on a smaller version annnnd probably no fancy icing tricks, no way only two of us could polish off a cake this size 😆🎂

Lucy Wolski

So charming! "Watch it be terrible" had me lol-ing!

Tadgh Kirby

I have a feeling I'm going to be forever doomed to refer to Aquafaba as Aqua Tofana..

Trina Montano

When you added the spiders 😍 you're my hero and I love everything you do! so inspiring. Enjoy your weekend!

Claire McQuarrie

Once again, a beautiful masterpiece! All that hard work paid off. And it looks absolutely delicious! It's always sad to have to cut into that beautiful work, but it's there to enjoy eating it too. I'm sure your captive is enjoying all the leftovers? Hahha! Seeing all those icing decorating tips reminded me of my Mom's Wilton decorating kit she had and used when I was growing up. She always made all our birthday and holiday cakes and decorated to her heart's content. She made roses on a large decorating nail and put them in the freezer and then on the cake. Watching this brought me back to those days. And her name was Rose. If my Mom could see this now, she'd be amazed.

Pamela Kay

I just got your book and I will definitely add this recipe to it. You are incredible, amazing and I am over the moon with this cake!! I know I will watch this video over and over! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Haley

OMG, it took muscle to cut into that cake! lol. I want to try this one!!

Karysa HorrorHoneysKitchen

deanna shorts

Stunning work as usual!🖤🖤🖤🖤

Ashley King

Unbelievably beautiful cake, I can't believe it...

limbairedhiel

wow your drop lines are stunning. Those are seriously hard to do. Great job on nailing it and the whole cake is absolutely gorgeous! As someone trying to switch to a more plant based diet I can't wait to give these recipes a try soon. 😋

Jo Briggs

This cake reminds me of a church I love around the corner from me! https://www.firstfranklin.org/worship-music/weddings/

Gincredible

Looks like the perfect winter project for opening the windows, turning the room into a walk-in fridge, and decorating away!

J.angelea.r

You never seize to amaze me at how talented you are!! Just wow 🤩

Rez NYC

Omg!!! Damn! If this cake was on an episode of Nailed It and I had to duplicate this, it would look like a baby blue blob! 😂 This should be in a museum!

Evelyn McElroy

Amazing!! Almost a Tiffany blue, I think. What a fabulous job you did.

Carol Blum

Aaamazing! How could you cut into such a beautiful work of art and deliciousness? I admire your patience!

Matthew Robert Davies

Astonishing. Even as a patron I feel bad that this is unlisted as I feel like the whole world needs to see how amazing this cake is 😂 and as a vegan I want you to do the catering at my hopefully distant funeral.

Shannon R.

That was absolutely stunning. *wow that puts my whole name in there I hope I can fix that *

Madeline Hayman

Did anyone else gasp when she cut into it? Lol

Rachel Forrest

This episode is my favorite ever

Kimberly Widener

Incredibly beautiful. At first it looked similar to Cinderella’s carriage on top. Christine’s workmanship is always impeccable. Brilliant once more! ❤️

Lily

Oh my goodness, it’s absolutely stunning! 🤩 It’s my birthday on Sunday so I’m just going to pretend you made this for me. 😂💓

Bernadette Vaughan

❤️ that cake would go with me to the grave! I couldn’t bear to cut it!😂

Erin E

This cake is just amazing 😍 Also, please share your hummus recipe with us 💜

Shelby Snow

This was such a fun video to watch with my daughter! She was so enchanted by the spiders and gothic elegance! LOVE LOVE LOVE this video and all you hard work! Thank you 😊 can’t wait to try out the technics!

Janeen

Le Wooow 😍

Vilma Valančiūnaitė

Have I said it already? YOU ARE A GODDESS <3 this cake is better looking tan an wedding cake I have ever seen in my entire life. I love it <3 All I can say is that I gotta try it but I am waaay too lazy so maybe putting butter cream and royal icing into silicone forms would make it a little easier on me and the lies of me :D thanks a tone Christine

Brandi Sikora

Perfection as always

Cassandra Cyr

Wow so stunning!!! If your hand aches after all that piping you should try the Saran Wrap method for your royal icing- it’s a game changer. Fantastic cake!!
