Links are affiliate links, but I will only recommend items I LOVE and use daily with no extra cost to you, and it helps support the channel! Thank you for your support!
You've really hit the ground running with making UA-cam your full-time job. I'm always excited to see a video from you!
I appreciate that!
I agree 👍 💯
I agree and I see another 30,000 subscribers since our last celebration! So proud of you Becky!
Agree 💯
Same!!!!!
Becky is the friend/sister everyone(including me) needs.
Such infectious personality♥.
Wow thank you!!
@@AcreHomestead You're welcome!
I agree. Always a good day when my friend Becky posts a video.
Literally true 💕🌸🌷
i so agree,she includes us in her life,we are going to etc she is so lovely
As a single arabic lawyer who never set foot in a garden or a kitchen I find your videos addictive .keep up the good content 😌 👌 respect from 🇩🇿 🇩🇿 🇩🇿
The way you handle your little potential disasters is one of the reasons why I keep watching!
My husband and I love that about this channel!
This is one reason I absolutely LOVE her channel. She keeps it real. Yes stuff falls on the floor and some nights we are cooking way later than we want. We need to see real and not overly edited so we know we can do this too😊
I agree I couldn’t help but laugh because I love how you keep it real because if you cook you will have those moments!
Would LOVE to see Josh bake one day!!
lol... if Josh is like my hubby. He loves to bake and cook but when I'm in the kitchen he will say, just call me when it is ready to taste... lol. He is my biggest fan even when it is just ok... love that.
Cupcake hints…use a larger size ‘cookie scoop’ to help make them the same size…cover your waiting batter with a sheet of plastic wrap and/or a kitchen towel so the batter stays the same consistency for each batch…don’t be afraid to take them out of the oven as soon as the toothpick comes out clean (even if the tops are still shiny) because they will continue to cook a bit as they rest in the pan (this goes for brownies too)…finally, add your sprinkles as you frost them and they will stick better for you. I love spending time with you! Thank you for opening your life to all of us!! 💕
Agree on all counts! A large scoop like 3 tbs is perfect for most muffin and cakes
This cake recipe is also amazing using hot coffee, instead of boiling water. That's how I make it and it's delicious!
Yes! This!! I use the Preppy Kitchen chocolate cake recipe and he uses hot coffee - it’s soooo delicious!
My mom's secret ingredient was always a fresh hot cup of quality coffee.
Yes! This is how my mom makes my birthday cake every year-her secret ingredient is coffee! It is hands down my favorite cake!
@@ashleycosta5076 I used his brownie recipe and it was life changing.
Hey Becky, loved the chocolate recipe. TIP: Instead of hot boiling water use hot coffee, this will give you a much richer & intense chocolate flavor.
Hi Becky,
I use ice cream scoops for my all my batters. Keeps me from overflowing muffin tins. Love your channel!!!
Was just about to suggest this when I saw your comment. I absolutely agree. I have dishers/ scoopers in 2 sizes traditionally used for ice cream, and 3 smaller cookie scoopers. They make all your cupcakes, muffins and cookies so much easier to portion out & they'll all be the same size 😃
@@AuntieD. I was just going to say this my baking sista's. 😆 Also if batter is too liquidy use either a zip lock bag or piping bags. 🧁
I was going to add the same suggestions
Cookie scoops make it SO much easier - I use a 1 1/2 or 2” scoop for cupcakes and they’re always perfect size 👍🏻👍🏻
@@pattyrosier1854 thank you! What a great idea
This sounds like a cake I used to make as a teen for church bake sales. A trick to make a lot of cupcakes is to bake a sheet cake. Then use a biscuit cutter to cut them out. Then lay them on a cooling rack and poor the icing over them. After they cool put them into cupcake liners, add a swirl of whipped cream or chocolate icing or my favorite chocolate whipped cream with a sprinkle of toffee bits.
Cake scraps can be turned into cakepops
What type of icing do you pour onto them?
Brilliant
What a great idea!!
What a good idea! Thank you!
You are so entertaining. I'm 62 years old and I remember Julia Child. She had no apologies for making mistakes and was hilarious when she did. You remind me of her. Kudos to you!
I kept yelling Becky you forgot to put the coupler in your piping bag 😂😂😂😂😂
It all turned out beautiful Becky 👍🏻
Becky, SO glad you are enjoying the Spurtles! They are my favorite kitchen utensils and I was so excited to gift you a set! They are great for stirring oatmeal and thick sauces as the little curve fits the curve of the pot and prevents sticking. I hope you enjoy them half as much as we enjoy your videos! ❤
What a lovely gift Lori; we love our Spurtles, they have so many uses. Becky, you may already know not to wash your wooden utensils in the dishwasher or allow them to soak for long periods of time. This will allow you to have years, even decades, of use. They also need to oiled every so often with either bamboo oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or olive oil. I try to oil mine every 3 months or so. Thank you for such lovely and fun videos!
I have the spurtles too but I got mine up Qvc
@@dianerobinett3825 They really do have SO many uses, I just discovered them a few years ago and they quickly became my go to utensil. Polenta, risotto, oatmeal, even getting the last of the peanut butter out of the jar... the list goes on & on! Def hand wash! Just a little token of appreciation to Becky for getting me back in the kitchen! 😉
@@terrimassie2971 I love mine! Do you use your often?
@@lorir823 I do use mine they are always in the sink to be washed I’ve got three sets one of which is silicone and the other two are wood
Hi Becky, here is a thought, maybe in the future you could have "Mom and Me Mondays" were your mom joins you for something like cooking or gardening and you show it on a Monday!!
Great idea! I really enjoy your Mom and Me episodes. She’s so full of knowledge and comfortable with the camera.
I always ice only a couple cupcakes at a time then do sprinkles before they dry. I put cookie sheet under my rack to save any that fall through and then you can use them. Makes clean up easier too!
You are so fun to watch. Very interactive videos because I find myself yelling for you to pay attention to something or not forget something .. and I am always terrified that you are overfilling your mixer! But, it eventually works out and you end up with delicious looking food. You survive the kitchen disasters we all have, but you do it with better humor and a better end product. Good for you!
I watched this on my FireTV, and one if the ads was for the soon to be streaming show on HBO MAX about Julia Child. I grew up watching her on PBS and didn't realize how revolutionary she was. Becky, you too are revolutionary because there have been a lot of us out here struggling to keep these traditions alive with the next generation and YOU are showing just how easy and FUN it is! Thanks for all you do!!
You're charming and adorable. We are most definitely going to be trying this cake recipe. I have to comment that it's a true sign of a good soul to react with grace under stressful or disappointing situations. ( the broken jar incident) Your a rock star!
It’s one of my favorite things about her too💗
Lovely Becky. Next time just remember to add the sprinkles immediately otherwise the frosting dries quickly and they don't stick. Have a lovely party
Try hot coffee in the cake mix next time instead of water, It's my secret ingredient in my chocolate cake and it is so delicious 😋
Sounds great! Thank you!
Unless there are people who hate coffee, like me!
@@cynthiafisher9907 it actually doesn't taste like coffee at all, it just enhances the chocolate flavor
@@melanieagosto7917 To someone like me, I can still taste it. But, I understand, I’m especially sensitive to tastes. Most people would not be able to taste it.
Blue Dawn dish soap is great for grease stains. Even if they are set in. And also for blood. We have Dawn in the bathroom and laundry room for treating laundry. QVC sells wooden spoons like that called spurtles
If some day you have the time, I highly recommend Claire Saffitz' pigs in brioche blanket, absolutely the best pigs in blanket I have ever had. Also, much respect for keeping calm in the face of olive oil explosion, I would be so frustrated
One of the things I appreciate about your channel is the way that you role model how to not sweat the small stuff eg: the olive oil spill. Homemakers are pretty tightly wound and if the only work that you are doing is how to graciously and gracefully whistle through the hard stuff, (and it certainly isn't: you do much more than that), it's fantastic work.
Becky, I Love your videos! You are the real deal! I think most of us watch you because you're just like us! You get stuff on your shirt (I'm a cake decorator, you should see my apron/shirt after a decorating session!), you may run out of stuff, and you try things for the first time on camera. But that's why we love you; you are NOT boring! ❤ Looking forward to the next video!!
I learned from raising my 2 sons (2 decades ago)….Dawn dishwashing liquid is *the best* stain remover. Super great on grease & oil. Next time, you can just saturate the stains w/Dawn and throw it aside ‘til laundry day. Does not disappoint. 😉
Hi Becky, I use the blue dawn dish soap to take out oil/greece stains on my clothes. Been using for years and works good.
Becky.. you do make a mess and break things.. don’t we all do that sometimes
You’re still a comforting soul to watch whatever you do.. you have such an awesome personality.. I do love your style because I’m like that too 🤣🤣
Dawn dish detergent on oil or grease on clothing works amazingly well.
"we're just gonna buy it...no big deal... No big deal"...So freaking hilarious and relatable... Gurl, been there, done that too.
Your videos make my day! Tomorrow is my big batch cooking day of the month. You inspired me so much in December that I now cook at least 20 freezer meals for the month. It's made a massive difference in my life. Thank you again
I found your channel probably a year or so ago now, but didn't subscribe (likely got distracted- mom of 6, 6 & under). I'm so glad I ran across it again because you really do inspire me with the things I'm also passionate about! Whenever I get a few minutes to myself I do like to head over to your channel and watch whatever videos I haven't seen yet. Thanks for the amazing content!
It is absolutely NOT cheating if you use leftovers fresh produce ❤
I loved everything about this video!! You inspire me in so many ways. I think its so great how when things go wrong or don’t work out perfectly you just keep smiling and have such a great attitude. Nothing stops you and i love that! Thank you so much for sharing with us. These videos are always like spending time with a good friend!
Agrees 👍 🥰
Agreed! 👍
She is fearless in the kitchen!
I LOVE HOW YOU SHOW YOUR MISTAKES! It keeps things real and brings me back to the old youtube days when it was genuine people with a camera!
Your husband seems super sweet. I have my own “love of my life” so I hope Josh really is sweet to you
It's great to have muffin tops on cupcakes too people like to eat to pull off the muffin top and eat it like that! I do that with muffins too even if it doesn't have icing something about the muffin top is always better! 😋
Always enjoy and look forward to your videos Becky. While you say the viewers are a blessing to you I feel I can safely say you are a blessing to us. You are so positive upbeat and enjoyable! Can't wait to see how your seeds are doing.
You just crack me up!! You are dearly loved Becky!! Thanks for the laughs along with the baking!
I laughed out loud too when the sprinkles fell off, which then made my hubby laugh. Great time Becky!
Brings a smile to my face every new video!!
YAY! I'm so glad!! I hope you enjoy!!
Cant wait to make those kabobs, and your moms cake into cupcakes!!! You are SO fun to watch, and your quote "......... and THATS OK!" is my new favorite!!! I just said today "I forgot my grocery list, AND THATS OK!"
If I had to be stuck anywhere with anyone it would be with Becky!
PS: The cupcakes looked SUPER tasty
"Mom!, Becky uploaded a video!" Both running to laptop, with a cup of coffee and a snack... Thank you SO much for who you are and your wonderful videos! ♥
I love all your videos, but this one really made me laugh out loud. The fact that you show us your mistakes, and you can laugh with us about them is lovely. You have such a gorgeous personality and it comes across well on screen because you are so natural. Lots of love from England.
I agree on the brown sugar! If a recipe calls for both, i either just do all brown or mostly brown with a little white for texture. glad I'm not the only one ;)
I absolutely love that damn near every time Becky uses her kitchen aid she works that puppy hard 🤣 I have no idea if she has the biggest one they sell(for home use) but lawd she needs it! Love this woman to pieces!
I just love your tenacity! I would have gone to bed when the jar of oil crashed. I also see a larger mixer in your future. Thanks for another great video.
You are what the world needs!!!!♥️ watching your channel
Holy shit my husband and I laughed so hard when u whipped a sprinkle so it would stick on the cupcake. U make my day lol keep up the great videos girl
You really are a card! I love how you let go the frustration of the breakage and moved on.That in itself is full of your Homestead WISDOM. You made my morning as I was not up to much, but breakkie and you makes me serge ahead! Lovely work and to your sis Congratulations!
A hint, spray the tops of your muffin tins in case so that if your muffins go over the edge they won’t stick. Also, an ice cream scoop is perfect for muffin portions. Also never fill more than 2/3 full.
You don't have to apologize for anything I feel lol the best part about you is you're REAL! So I kinda love hearing your washing machine going or your coffee percolating ☺️
Sending love from the UK, I found your channel randomly a few months ago and I've been obsessed ever since. You have such a great personality, thank you for sharing aspects of your life with us! :) x
Such a fun video. I like seeing the real life oops. it makes me feel like I can do it with no pressure for perfection. You rock Becky.
lol you are making Sausage rolls , Pigs in blankets are a UK staple for our Christmas Lunch , sausage wrapped in streaky bacon , I also add a dollop of mustard on the small sausage before wrapping and pop a sage leaf in while wrapping the bacon around it leaving a little sticking out . Can be used as a entree or quick but gorgeous bite
Woo hoo, hi!! So excited to spend more time in your kitchen with you. Currently working on getting a veggie garden set up at our school, and you are such an inspiration!!
That is so exciting!
Becky, i know I always comment on your videos . But girlfriend, this one is one of my favorites. You just go with the flow and i love it. You really remind me so much of how Julia Childs was in her kitchen!! I always enjoyed watching her. You are such a bright and inspirational person. Keep up the awesome job, and thank you for letting us be apart of your life!! Happy cooking. 😊
When you said, “I have never piped before” I said, “Clearly not, you didn’t put the coupler inside the piping bag.” 😁 That cake recipe I am definitely going to have to try❤️
I have a similar chocolate cake recipe using the boiling water. That kind of super charges the leveling. I have to fill less than half full to get a regular cupcake. My first time using that recipe as cupcakes went all over the oven!
Hahaha Becky I was screaming at my tablet "put the tip inside the bag!!!" You're doing fabulous girl, never change x
Anything from scratch also doesn't have all those preservatives. Especially ones you can't pronounce. I like Josh's thinking. Extra cupcakes? You can freeze them for him. I bit the bullet; I ordered a freeze dryer. Instead of the rolls don't they have a "sheet" now that you could just cut into strips? Not cheating! Was left over from another purpose. Your mom was probably ecstatic having all the grandchildren in her home at 1x. It all came out great Becky! You should be proud of yourself.
You can use the cookie scoops to fill your cupcake papers. I totally agree about the brown sugar and vanilla. When I make chocolate chip cookies, I use brown sugar for both sugars and then a generous pour of vanilla.
I really enjoy your videos, I can't believe how knowledgeable you are at such a young age. I love the 'naturalness' of your posts, you don't bother to cut out the mistakes and that so refreshing to see. We all drop things, spill things etc. I have learnt so much from you, especially about baking in large quantities and also storage and methods of preserving. Last night I watched the video of you and your mum cooking together, it was so lovely. Keep up the good work, it's not easy running a yt channel but it's much appreciated for sure!
Oh Becky look up Nigella Lawton’s Chocolate Christmas Cake , it’s not what you expect and is mostly made in a pan on top of the stove . It comes out and will sink in the middle but when you cut it you get that slurp sound as it’s so moist and makes a fabulous pudding as well if you pop in the microwave . Totally delicious
Ohhh my this sounds amazing!!!!
The big tips don’t usually ever come with the sets. The sets are for detail work.
You’re looking for tip 1M I think it’s called- our bill stores sell tips separately for like $2.
Btw not trying to be picky or annoying but those drageés are pretty but no one likes them. They are SO hard you feel like you’re gonna break a tooth and they just taste like cornstarch and chemicals.i know you were going with a theme, but even gold dusting or chocolate Jimmies or even a few curls of actual chocolate would class it up without those inedible dragées
And you need to sprinkle your topping right away- if they sit around while you frost a bunch more they start to crust and then sprinkles will not stay.
Everything looked AMAZING at the end!! I am so bad at planning food for showers I never know what to make. It always sounds nice in my head but not practical in application. It looked catered.
Those cupcakes look amazing! The sausages wrapped in dough, we have always called them pig in the blankets. My kids love them! Thanks for the journey!
In the Uk pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon. We call sausage wrapped in pastry sausage rolls funnily. Enough ;-)
@@chrisfiller465 How fun!
I love super chatty videos ❤️ I so wanna try this cake!!
Yes! Unless it's a video about dinner 🤣😂🤣
I just want to say that I learn so much more than just cooking from your videos. Your humility and ability to bounce back from hiccups in the kitchen is so what I need to see. I'm really a perfectionist and I panic when something doesn't go right. To hear you say "it's ok" and "no big deal" after glass ruined 2 of your dishes I was like, "you know what, it is alright!"
I shy away from A LOT of cooking because I don't want to make messes or make mistakes. Thanks for reminding me that it's okay to do that in the kitchen♡
I'm from the UK and over here 'pigs in blankets' means sausages wrapped in bacon
We call what you made 'mini cocktail sausage rolls'
The cupcakes looked so good!!
:)

Hi Becky! Watching today's video where you have oil on your new sweater. Just wanted to give you a way to save it. If you put Dawn dish detergent on all the spots, let it sit overnight and wash the next day. If it doesn't come
I have 8 grandkids. When I think of babies I think of poop, so that's excellent frosting, IMO.
The cupcakes would be much easier to fill up with one of those cookie scoops you bought, and then you'd be pretty even on how much you put in each. I use one for mine and it the perfect size for cupcakes.
We had a fair weather day today and we couldn't wait to get out and in the yard/garden. Trimmed back some flowers and organized some garden posts and pots. Sanded the egg sign and painted it. Made trip to garden center and got some more seeds. So anxious for spring to be here!
Oh Becky you made my week ! I'll be making the cake for my birthday on Monday! This is exactly what I have been looking for. How you function and do so much before coffee is amazing to me. I can't even function or speak before coffee! Great job on everything.
Russian piping tips are what you want if you want to go big on the decorating.
It’s not so important to be the most graceful person. What matters is being a gracious person. I think you’ve probably nailed it.
I really love how when you have an opps you share it with us. Everyone has spills and kitchens goof ups. I hope your hood came clean. Corn starch helps remove oil stains.
Double boiling is super easy and simple…less likely to burn the chocolate.
I have found if you spray your cupcake liners with a little Pam the paper peels off the cupcakes and you don’t have a liner covered with cake Easier to eat without the mess
What really would have made the cupcakes is if you had a little diaper pick to stick in each one after you frosted them. This is so perfect.
I just love all your mishaps, Becky!!!
Great job not overreacting to the broken glass and splashed oil. I mean, GREAT. These things happen and I was much older than you are when I figured out that it just doesn't have to matter that much. I love seeing how you deal with things so calmly.
Original blue Dawn is THE BEST pre-treatment for oily/grease based stains! Works really good on HH’s inside collars, too! Plus,!it is chemically similar to Synthrapol a color preserving wash liquid quilters use to set dyes and prevent color bleeds.
Becky, try picking up the cupcakes and dunking it into the gold sprinkles.
Girlfriend, I love when you show up!
Oh, the difference between a muffin and a cupcake is cupcakes have , usually, 3 times more sugar.
I love it! This is real life cooking/ baking! I can’t tell you how many disasters I have had in my years🤣and I love how you laugh and keep going. Thankyou!
I’m hooked!!! You’re the only UA-cam creator I allow notifications for… I’ve binge watched your videos!!!
If you want to try it another time, the largest scoop from Pampered Chef is the perfect size for cupcakes. Everything looked delicious!
Bummer about the glass jar breaking, but you are such a kitchen BOSS you were able to carry on. I probably would have given up and just bought everything. How did the cake taste in cupcake form?
Dawn dish soap will get most stains out of clothing. When I notice I spilled something like oil on my clothes, I put some on right away and toss it in the laundry. Then launder like usual.
You amaze me. Nothing stops you. I have done very little cake decorating but when you started filling the frosting bag I was (in my mind) screaming STOP. You are a hoot.
Just so you know… you can use your large scoop that you have for cookies and fill the muffins tins… it’s much easier than a measuring cup… love watching you because you always bring a smile to my face. You’re so genuine…and funny. You’re a trooper Becky… ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣girl you made my Saturday morning with that pipping bag. It is so good to see I'm not the only one who struggle sometimes. You go girl
Hi Becky, you are a ray of sunshine. Thank you for keeping it real. It helps me to give myself grace in the kitchen. Everything you made looked fabulous when served. Take care. 🌞
I'm a retired cake decorator and dropping the special sprinkles are best put on the moment you pipe the icing. Sugar wants to set up as soon as it can.
Hey Becky! I beg to differ. I love to decorate cakes. Flavor is important, but to decorate it so beautifully that no one wants to cut into. It becomes a decadent experience. But I get you, taste and speed of production are your goal. Love your vids! Thank you! D
If the oil stains don't come out of our hoodie. Use your washing up liquid on the stains and they will come out. Washing up liquid is made to dissolve fat/oil. Leave on the stain for about an hour and the rewash in your washing machine
It looks like everything came together, beautifully!!!
I’m so glad you are ok and not injured from the glass! The food looks great!
All you need is two little googely eyes on your cupcake icing. 💩 too cute I love it! Lol 😆
Becky, I just made this cake a few days and OMG! It is incredible. My husband, who's not the biggest fan of chocolate cake, loved it! I ended up taking to work because we couldn't stop eating it! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Becky, I’m subscribing because I just really enjoy watching you. I’m not a meat eater and I don’t eat raw sugar due to a skin condition however, I still really enjoy watching your videos. I don’t have a garden, I don’t have storage space to prep like you do but you have great energy and have such a lovely personality I cant help but watch 😁
