DISCLAIMER: Brimley was actually licking peanut butter at the edge of a plate. It was a true camera trick for silly infomercial sake - no puppos actually ate cake on the set of this infomercial 😂
Is that some slightly different version of biscuit dough? I always thought if your biscuit dough got to the point where it was stretchy then the gluten was overworked? When I usually make biscuits I do no more than pat and shape, then cut, never actually working the dough.
One, let the cute Westie have some whipped cream! And two, I was just going to ask how you got your models (including said Westie) to have the same manic smile? 😂 although, if you want to make a nice cake for your pretty boy, buy lean mean of your choice, finely chop it, mixed in cubed boiled sweet potato, add a beaten egg, use an oven safe round cookie cutter and bake in the oven in however many layers you want. Then you take either boiled white potato or sweet potato and whip it with chicken broth (homemade/unseasoned) until you have fluffy whipped potatoes. Then layer and frost and you have a perfect doggy birthday cake. I do something similar for my cats’ birthdays. It looks surprisingly similar to a normal mini cake, I even pipe decorations to add the celebratory air.
Well I loved this because when my sweet son was 6 years old he saw the bake and fill pan advertised and it turned out to be his sweet Christmas gift from him to me🥰. I do want to mention that there was a paper insert in mine with amended instructions for temperature or baking time depending on cake mix used I believe. I made a spice cake and filled with apple pie filling. My sweet son also saw commercials for turbie twist and hair combs which appeared as either birthday or Christmas gifts as well. He is now 28 years old 😢so this episode was very special for me ❤
@moniquebrown1678 your boy is a man after my father’s heart. He has always believed everything he sees on tv, since childhood. Even when I was little I’d just shake my head and think just because you see it on tv doesn’t mean you need it 😂.
If I’m remembering correctly I believe that was one of the suggestions in the infomercial 😂 I struggle with the idea of stuffing savoury foods inside one another so it always kind of grossed me out 😂
@@jacforswear18same, kind of. My issue is with putting thick/dense foods inside of raw meat that can’t be overcooked, e.g., cheese-filled burgers or poultry with stuffing (as Alton Brown said decades ago, stuffing is evil). However, if the meatloaf is fully cooked before being layered with mashed potatoes, that’s probably fine - kind of like an inside-out shepherd’s pie.
This ad came on when I was a little girl, and I immediately started daydreaming about the fancy birthday cakes that could be made with it. It's cool to see some fancy cakes like that being made!
i associate baked alaska as a fancy dessert bc in the sims you needed high cooking skill to make it, was always a hit for when the headmaster came over to see if my kids could go to private school see also: lobster thermidor, goopy carbonara
Oh my gosh SAME though, I was just a little tiny baby and had no clue what a Baked Alaska was but I felt so fancy even knowing that something like a cake on fire existed.
Man I’ve seen some videos of people who don’t know how to bake doing things like this and it is so refreshing watching someone who knows how to bake using this pan. Not that the other videos I saw were bad, this was supposed to be used by everyday people so I think videos like those can give a good insight into design flaws. But man it is so much less stressful to be an audience member who knows less about baking than the person doing it instead of knowing more
@@mercychocolate72 th-cam.com/video/Bik_jyWwopk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mu7j5t_W_28nJ3vf This was the video I watched, they spend the whole thing being like “we don’t know what we’re doing!” And then don’t grease the pans or let the cakes cool properly and blame it on the pans lol. I was so stressed watching it. I could’ve sworn I’d seen another video like this too from someone else, but now I can’t remember.
I BEGGED my mom for so long to buy that pan after seeing the commercial. I was so interested in making a baked Alaska because it was cake AND fire. So when I saw this I literally jumped out of my chair. I finally got to experience the baked alaska of my dreams😂
"This pan debuted in 2004, the year before I started pastry school." Thanks for enduring the pain of taking seriously a set intended for those of us who firmly rely on the instructions on the cake mix box. I mean, Betty Crocker sells cake mix and this looks like a great reason to buy a few more boxes if you go that way!
almost 20 years ago I had a horrific stomach bug and did not at all want to think about food lest i get horrifically nauseous, but every single cartoon channel had this commercial my grudge with this thing is immesurable, but I still must admit it was a clever idea
I will not lie to you, I wanted those pans so bad. I was 16 I think at the time. It was just cool looking, I was also wanting a stand mixer and the magic bullet blender. Some kids ya know?
As a novice home baker this video had so many great different ideas I want to try to use...the sour cream ganache, the dulce de leche, the mousse, the roasted strawberries! It's so hard to find recipes online that arent the same old ideas. I'm the designated birthday cake maker in the family and I love trying new things. Anyways thanks for the inspiration! Instant subscribe!
First off, you are fun to watch for a first look into your channel. Sharing the reason I bought this pan many years ago... Porcupine Cake - a chocolate cake made in the more half ball shaped pan and a 2nd run in the oven for the insert alone - filling the inside like a layer cake. The idea was inspired by colonial amarican folks who shated a porcupine cake with family friends during the holidays. I later went crazy, baked only ib the rounder half ball and turned the concave side up, no filling, dabbled in some peaks of icing and sprinkled in blue edible glitter to make a Geode (like a rock geode) cross section for a kid's birthday. Disclaimer: no edible glitter should find its way onto a cake intended to have candles blown out. No ball of flame like I've seen in videos since but what a mess! 😅
god, i remember being a kid, at 2am unable to sleep and just watching infomercials and this being one of the many products they'd advertise this, that animal plates, the zoo book, some sort of vacuum, a thing about donating to tigers.... god, the memories xD man i feel old
First and foremost, I love this series! I find As Seen on TV products highly amusing. Many ads are my guilty pleasure because of the camp factor. Second, we’re around the same age, so I also remember the ads of this cake pan back in the mid ‘00s. I’m glad you gave this pan a fair chance and managed to create some tasty cakes. Maybe not up to your typical standards as a pro baker, but I think they turned out better than expected.
I am lying in bed at 4 am. I am begging my brain to be quiet for a bit so I can sleep. Finally I close my eyes and silence the noise in my head. Then, as if from miles away, I hear the vaporwave echo of a single phrase… “EVEN BAKED ALASKA!”
I swear to god you or something out in the universe knew that I was thinking about this cake pan infomercial the other day and wondering if they worked or were still around. It has been probably a decade since I saw it on TV and it was probably my favorite infomercial as a child. It is really funny to see it pop up in my suggested without me looking for it. Great video, thanks for the walk down memory lane!!!
@@susanburrows5288 Someone might still make the metal version, even if it's more expensive. I feel like metal would be heavier and keep the batter in place.
@@AmyLSacksMy mom had one of the original all-metal checkerboard pans from the late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s. It was used exactly once, by me. Even the metal ones let a little batter through. It was….ok. More difficult to use than simply making two single layers of different flavors and either using the inserts to cut the circles out, or 2 large circular cutters of different diameters to cut the center and rings out then swap around. (Even extremely well greased the rings tended to stick to the cake in the pan)
I bought this pan set from a consignment shop while visiting a friend. I didn't know exactly how to use it. So here it is 2 years later and I stumbled on this video. Thank you for the directions and thoughts as to how to use pans best.
How do you not have more subscribers? You’re pleasant to listen to, your personality is likable and doesn’t feel like an over the top character, and you sound very knowledgeable about baking. I subscribed before I got to the 50% mark
okay this is CRAZY! We bought this pan I think in like 2006? 2005? idk but we used it MAYBE twice and never again. Literally yesterday, my mom was asking me if we should save this pan or give it away and then your video popped up hahaha
I was OBSESSED with this thing as a kid and always wanted to try it lolol I’m so excited to watch the rest of your vids!! You are so charming and funny ~~
Erin, your video was recommend to me by TH-cam, and I'm so glad that I clicked! I'm a bread baker, not so much cake, but watching you was both fun and informative. You've inspired me to try making cakes. The lemon cake especially looks really good to try. I love how you made lemon infused sugar, and will be trying that myself.
My mother used to make a cake from angel food cake and pan for my birthday. She cut out a lot of the center. Make chocolate pudding and mix some coolwhip and the bits of cake. Stuff the middle with the mixture and frost with cool whip. Yum.
Erin this is the first video I have ever seen by you and I’m literally a huge fan. Your recipes seem solid, you’re funny, you have great ideas, your recipes seem easy to follow! You are awesome!
I didnt intend to watch the whole video but it was just so nice and fun to watch! Also I just love seeing delicious cakes. I was surprised to see just how small your channel was, you seem like a pro who only just now got onto youtube. You're so fun and informative!
I have no idea how to cook or bake but I stumbled upon your videos and I absolutely love watching you teach! You’re so easy to listen to and I love your personality. I doubt I ever make any of these creations but I enjoy watching you! You are getting more of time than true crime now a days and that’s a positive! 🤣 Ty for existing!
It is great that you are reviewing these gimmicky products. I have not seen an ad except on line but I’d really love to know if the Williams Sonoma hand pie molds work. They come in such cute designs but I’m too afraid to try them and find out they don’t work.
OMG - !! What a great idea!! I love the ole' timey commercial type video!! Loved watching you put your spin on the cakes. And I never heard about roasting strawberries, so win, win, win!!! Thanks. Keep this series going. Awesome idea!!
Hi Erin, everyone is right, you are rocking that vintage vibe. How about the checkerboard cake pan set next? I have those and have never used them. Give us some flavor combinations that sound delicious, please!
That was extremely entertaining, and lightning, and quite funny. I love your take on the “as seen on TV” look back at some of my own childhood memories of what was on TV at the time. I love your sense of humor. It’s quite refreshing and I’m looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Thank you so much..
this video is so high quality, i'm shocked your channel isn't way bigger. this was really interesting, i've never heard of this cake pan before and your bakes look so nice!
Erin you look so stinkin’ cute in that outfit! Thanks for all your amazing info, from a person who started baking before the internet was a thing and still can’t believe how lucky I am to have access to your videos❤️
Erin, I have been watching for a while although I don''t usually comment. I have learned a lot! I love how you alway take it to the next level. Thank you!💗
Really enjoyed watching this program! You are a very knowledgeable baker and it was very fun hearing you talk about this process. My mother made a lemon meringue to die for!!!
Great tutorial!!! I have one of these pan sets that I've never used. Super roasted strawberry lesson- I love the way you showed us 3 trays at various degrees of doneness.❤❤❤
I remember watching this commercial on late night / super early morning TV with my grandma and, surprisingly, we actually did end up getting one (and how I learned what a zip code was LOL; shout out to the sales person on the phone who asked me to give it to an adult). It was a long while later before we got it, but when I was old enough to do more than just help mix things in the kitchen, I got one for Christmas and I still have it to this day (albeit, its stored somewhere since I've moved a lot since then). We never had much of a chance to use it, so I never knew how well it *actually* worked, so it was super nice when YT randomly recommended this to me and we got to see how it worked in reality! In short: thank you for the trip down memory lane and for this video! :D It was really nice and those recipes sound super good!
I remember that goofy infomercial. The Baked Alaska image always took me out! I could just see a crew member on set propping up that pink cake on the counter, then torching the daylights out of it. Memories!😂🎂🔥
Yessss finally, someone reviewing the Bake 'n Fill that actually knows how to bake !! I remember seeing the infomercial on TV as a kid and I always wondered if it actually works as intended. Now I kinda want one, for making birthday cakes for my daughter haha
What a fun video and such interesting, unique recipes! I LOVED seeing that advertisement as a kid, I won't lie. I wanted a set for myself! Also, it's really nice to see someone who looks like me making such great content! Your outfits are superb and you're so confident and cool. Seeing you do what you do helps me feel confident too
I love your videos so much! You are just funny and you should have your own talk show or something 😂 I made dinner rolls from Savory baking yesterday for our bbq party and my hubby said they were the best part of the whole thing, even though we had lot of amazing food at the table. We both love doing pies from Book on pie and call them pie projects and rate our results 😊
You’re always fun to watch, but Omg, I LOVED this video so much! Yes, please do more of these. Love the vintage vibe and those pearls are everything girl! So, I have a cake pan, not an “as seen on tv” item, but it’s been in my family since Kennedy was in office. It’s a 3D lamb cake pan. Mine is made of heavy cast aluminum, two pieces with loops on either end. Every attempt I’ve made has been a disaster! Either It won’t release from the pan, ears get crispy or fall off, broken necks, won’t sit upright, is either underbaked or over baked and once decorated…well, it looks more like a Halloween nightmare than a happy little floof. If you’ve ever seen Charles Phoenix’s hilarious “Meatloaf of Lamb” video… it’s the same type of pan, except his is the lighter weight metal version. I’ve put him out to pasture for the last 10yrs, but he mocks me every time I open his cupboard. Help?
subscribed for the intro alone lmao so good! as someone who watched way too much tv, i am very familiar with the informercial kitchen gadgets of the past lol. excited for this series!!
I really like the idea of roasted strawberries! That sounds really good! I made a strawberry pound cake recipe by adapting a plain pound cake recipe. The original called for milk to be added alternatively with the dry mix. I traded the milk for pureed strawberries, and added lemon extract instead of vanilla. I've been requested to make this cake for two of my brothers when they got married.
I think I saw one of these cakes in a James Bond film. The cake had a bomb inside!! It was so cool the way the waiter brought it out and presented it to James Bond.
That's such fun! I bought one at an auction sale because no one else bid on it, and my mom and I liked collecting useless kitchen gadgets, just because they are so much fun. I haven't tried it, but now I really want to.
Wonderful video! I would love to see some layer cakes with different types of cake recipes as well as a tutorial on different types of frostings fillings and buttercreams. Not asking for much right?!? Thank you for this tutorial. It gave me some great ideas! Happy baking!

Roasted fresh apricots are godhead in desserts. Once in a while, I'll splurge and make ice cream based on that with milk infused with toasted almonds.

Mousse cake is my absolute fav, these all look like a delight xx
I loved the roast strawberry process trays-we all benefit from your experience.
Hi Erin, everyone is right, you are rocking that vintage vibe. How about the checkerboard cake pan set next? I have those and have never used them. Give us some flavor combinations that sound delicious, please!
That was extremely entertaining, and lightning, and quite funny. I love your take on the “as seen on TV” look back at some of my own childhood memories of what was on TV at the time. I love your sense of humor. It’s quite refreshing and I’m looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Thank you so much..
Omg I still have this same cake pan in it's box under my cabinet 😂 I never did use it........thank you for showing us how it works & if it works ❤
Wow beautiful production on this video, it was a joy to watch. Also ma'am the presenter, you stole my heart 💜
this video is so high quality, i'm shocked your channel isn't way bigger. this was really interesting, i've never heard of this cake pan before and your bakes look so nice!
Thanks so much! This channel is young / posting here is newer for me - so I appreciate your support! ❤
I love your videos! Just found this one. I’ll be watching all of them….. and more in the future.
Erin you look so stinkin’ cute in that outfit! Thanks for all your amazing info, from a person who started baking before the internet was a thing and still can’t believe how lucky I am to have access to your videos❤️
I absolutely love your channel. I learn so much and it is still entertaining. What a great personality you have !
Erin, I have been watching for a while although I don''t usually comment. I have learned a lot! I love how you alway take it to the next level. Thank you!💗
I love your entire look and this video funny and educational ❤
I had this pan! I absolutely loved it! I made lots of fun cakes with it.
Really enjoyed watching this program! You are a very knowledgeable baker and it was very fun hearing you talk about this process. My mother made a lemon meringue to die for!!!
Great tutorial!!! I have one of these pan sets that I've never used. Super roasted strawberry lesson- I love the way you showed us 3 trays at various degrees of doneness.❤❤❤
I remember watching this commercial on late night / super early morning TV with my grandma and, surprisingly, we actually did end up getting one (and how I learned what a zip code was LOL; shout out to the sales person on the phone who asked me to give it to an adult). It was a long while later before we got it, but when I was old enough to do more than just help mix things in the kitchen, I got one for Christmas and I still have it to this day (albeit, its stored somewhere since I've moved a lot since then). We never had much of a chance to use it, so I never knew how well it *actually* worked, so it was super nice when YT randomly recommended this to me and we got to see how it worked in reality!
In short: thank you for the trip down memory lane and for this video! :D It was really nice and those recipes sound super good!
Your tone and editing reminds me a lot of the food network. Very nostalgic for me, very comforting.
I just love all your videos. You’re so much fun and an amazing baker and excellent teacher. Thanks so much Erin💕
I remember that goofy infomercial. The Baked Alaska image always took me out! I could just see a crew member on set propping up that pink cake on the counter, then torching the daylights out of it. Memories!😂🎂🔥
Yessss finally, someone reviewing the Bake 'n Fill that actually knows how to bake !! I remember seeing the infomercial on TV as a kid and I always wondered if it actually works as intended. Now I kinda want one, for making birthday cakes for my daughter haha
This came up in my recommendations and instantly subscribed, this was so fun to watch❤
Those cakes do look tasty!
What a fun video and such interesting, unique recipes! I LOVED seeing that advertisement as a kid, I won't lie. I wanted a set for myself!
Also, it's really nice to see someone who looks like me making such great content! Your outfits are superb and you're so confident and cool. Seeing you do what you do helps me feel confident too
YUMMY ! I had to share this video with My 2 Sisters,,, I hope one of them gets this set to make tasty treats with.
I love your videos so much! You are just funny and you should have your own talk show or something 😂 I made dinner rolls from Savory baking yesterday for our bbq party and my hubby said they were the best part of the whole thing, even though we had lot of amazing food at the table. We both love doing pies from Book on pie and call them pie projects and rate our results 😊
You’re always fun to watch, but Omg, I LOVED this video so much! Yes, please do more of these. Love the vintage vibe and those pearls are everything girl! So, I have a cake pan, not an “as seen on tv” item, but it’s been in my family since Kennedy was in office. It’s a 3D lamb cake pan. Mine is made of heavy cast aluminum, two pieces with loops on either end. Every attempt I’ve made has been a disaster! Either It won’t release from the pan, ears get crispy or fall off, broken necks, won’t sit upright, is either underbaked or over baked and once decorated…well, it looks more like a Halloween nightmare than a happy little floof. If you’ve ever seen Charles Phoenix’s hilarious “Meatloaf of Lamb” video… it’s the same type of pan, except his is the lighter weight metal version. I’ve put him out to pasture for the last 10yrs, but he mocks me every time I open his cupboard. Help?
Have you tried a bain Marie? Keep the ears temperate
subscribed for the intro alone lmao so good! as someone who watched way too much tv, i am very familiar with the informercial kitchen gadgets of the past lol. excited for this series!!
OMG! I remember that pan!
Here in the uk I have never seen that type of pan. Two much top cake for me. Love your show.
I really like the idea of roasted strawberries! That sounds really good! I made a strawberry pound cake recipe by adapting a plain pound cake recipe. The original called for milk to be added alternatively with the dry mix. I traded the milk for pureed strawberries, and added lemon extract instead of vanilla. I've been requested to make this cake for two of my brothers when they got married.
I think I saw one of these cakes in a James Bond film. The cake had a bomb inside!! It was so cool the way the waiter brought it out and presented it to James Bond.
Great mouthwatering video! You are not just a fabulous cook but entertain and teach as well.
This was amazing ❤ I loved all the cakes but I am with you, I like the classic pans.
Thank you for doing this! I remember these commercials and I have often wondered how well this set works.
Loved this, excited for more from this series! But it would have been cool to see you do a cake the old fashioned way too for comparison
Wow I love your style with the old TV. I'm subscribing and coming back for more!
That's such fun! I bought one at an auction sale because no one else bid on it, and my mom and I liked collecting useless kitchen gadgets, just because they are so much fun. I haven't tried it, but now I really want to.
Wonderful video! I would love to see some layer cakes with different types of cake recipes as well as a tutorial on different types of frostings fillings and buttercreams. Not asking for much right?!? Thank you for this tutorial. It gave me some great ideas! Happy baking!
