    Before watching Erin McDowell videos, I never, ever baked. Like, ever. I always just considered myself a cook, never a baker. She has completely changed my life in the kitchen. She is both such a pro and completely disarming, which is a rare combo. Like so many others, I'm so happy and shocked these videos are available to everyone for free. 🧁🧁🧁Proof of my changed life: I just made three pecan pies for the first time today!

    As a home baker, I find that it is so enjoyable to watch and learn new techniques. At 61, it's never to late to learn. Your techniques are clear and easy to do. Thank you for sharing because financially, going to school is not in my budget during these time of covid. Again, thank you! I appreciate your videos.

I didn't even mind that it was 45 mins long... I am a baking student at Stratford University and I still got some of the best tips from this video. I am going to sit down tonight and watch more. Thank you so much!!! I started my own small cake business a while ago and this is really helpful...

    Great video! The foaming method is by far the most common method used in Sweden, but we add the eggs and sugar together from the beginning then whisk on medium-high speed for 8-10 minutes! It makes the most delicious cupcakes and sponge cakes - definitely a technique I would recommend for light and fluffy cupcakes!
