      This is what SOLD me to this channel. One of her videos on making gourmet treat, which I forgot which one it was (and my first episode of this channel) is what I needed to see in a cooking channel. The frustration, the problem solving, the mistake making, the success. It was real, raw, and relatable. Loved it.

Another option is ice-cream additive or soaking it in a thin compote-like sauce or sweet alcohol sauce to make something more pudding-like.

      I believe they are just in parts. I know the yellow cake recipe is on there as well as the white cake and carrot cake (the white cake is cupcakes but it should be the same - although I know the egg count is different). The big difference I saw was the yellow cake was listed under birthday sheet cake and had a chocolate cream cheese frosting instead of the chocolate swiss meringue. Not sure on the others.

    Can you please start including the ingredients in your videos please? I love your videos but sometimes I have to google for the exact same recipe and keep going in between the recipe on the BA website and the video for visual instructions and it’s hard to follow along to bake like that. Also someone said the measurements of the ingredients for the cakes in this video are listed on the streaming channel but the streaming channel isn’t available for people in the EU. Not to sound entitled, it’s just that I’d appreciate it because I really enjoy BA videos and it’s not always easy following along without the measurements there. Sorry if I sound demanding or rude in any way. I don’t mean to.

    I love how it is explained when batter is over or under mixed. I also love how the gluten is explained. This video has made me realize that I just need to go to baking school. I have been watching videos for 3 days to learn all about baking and decorating cakes, this video has been the best.

    @whats_a___taylor510 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't finished watching the whole ep yet (because time is an illusion but also i have errands i have to do) but so far I am totally in love with the format of the show! I love that you broke down why it's important not to under or over mix your batters ( it is SO important for the layperson ((or any one for that matter)) to understand WHY they're doing what they're doing and not just following blindly, it really drives home the point!) and I LOVED that you did a short summary at the end of each section to make sure no important steps were missed by the viewer. Looking forward to finishing the ep and hopefully following along in the future! Keep it up!!

    this channel is amazing!!! i know some people (not just me) tend to fail when it comes to cooking cakes because of those detailed things that are mostly not described in many recipe books such as, don't forget to coat the mold, don't overmix and soooo on. she's clearly explaining and giving examples of the wrong ones! i'm so happy to find this channel!
