How in the world could anyone thumb down this video? This beautiful woman is giving you a master baking class for free. Her work is elegant, she is engaging and funny. I have been baking for years and I still learned some excellent pointers. Thank you so much for such an amazing video!
This video is like an online class, honestly the best layer cake video out there, super insightful, I am going the bake and design my son's birthday cake from scratch so wish me luck <3
She's such an engaging and fun host to watch!
I love her She explains everything so well, great teacher ( i usually skip any vodeos over 30 minutes, unless i know theyre going to be good- and i know shes a great baker, so i dont skip her videos💜❤️💖)
She explains things better than any online pastry chef I have ever seen. I used to work in a bakery when I was younger and there were things I knew to do, was told to do, but didn't know WHY. But all these years later I learned by watching Erin. Now I know the reason you bring a pudding to first boil is to kill the enzymes in the eggs so they don't eat the starch when your pudding is in the fridge making it go watery, or why you add eggs one at a time in a cake batter and blend after each addition because it is an emulsion. Things such as that I knew to do, but didn't know the science behind it. I just love her so much!!!
Erin's personality is infectious. I also want all those cakes.
An hour long! I'm obsessed, no one talk to me for the next hour :)
Please give this woman her own show already. And set it up in her own kitchen cause it cluttered with baking things in the best way ♥️.
Erin is the best instructor. She oozes knowledge and enthusiasm and clearly loves introducing viewers to how things work. Just marvelous!
Wait, let me grab a cup of coffee and settle in. Time for a Masterclass with my favorite baker—Erin Jeanne! And I thought today was going to suck. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Finally! Someone doing a food tutorial that doesn’t add in a lot of silly anecdotes and talk really slow and bore you to death. I’ve only been watching this for a few minutes and I am so very impressed! This is definitely one I will watch to the end! What a great job!
I bet Erin has tons of friends as she is so sincere, passionate, witty, knows her stuff, humble etc.... I love her to bits. Who else agrees? 💖🍰🎂🥧🥞🍪🍩
My girlfriend would freak out if I could pull this off, wow baking is super intimidating but I'm going to give this a try.
This woman is helping me in so many ways than any book, zoom baking classe, any other YouTube videos ever had. I’m grateful to have found her in my intial baking days.
I literally used these techniques this week when I was making a cake, and it's my best cake ever so far! Thank you for sharing your knowledge for those of us who are just learning!
She is such a marvelous teacher. Her love of baking and sharing of knowledge comes shing through!
Never see a patient and detail oriented one like her …. Thanks for coaching…
It’s 4am. Best instruction video for any beginner. Thank you.
It's 4:00 am and I'm watching this thinking ~~ gosh I would love to be in that kitchen as a taste tester right now! 🥴😍
Didn't even feel the hour. It was awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🥰
