To this day I can’t believe that I get to watch these incredible, educational videos for FREE. Erin, you’re an icon💐
Exactly ! So amazing 🙌🏼
Totally! Her videos are full of info you wouldn't get just from watching others' videos. ❤️❤️❤️
yes she is soooo good. I’d love to see her get a tv show. she’s that good
@Salt Sugar Butter Yum! Erin is an Asset to Food52..
My favorite person on this channel👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾👍🏽
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!
So glad to hear it, Lindsay! Thanks for watching (and tag us if you post your pecan pie pics!)
BRB CRYING #happybaking TEARS 😭🥰
That’s fantastic…I have baked since I was a child and love it…I think you will love it also and just go for it and you will gain confidence quickly…proud of you girl 👍
I dare you to have a bad day while watching this wholesome lady baking whimsical, scrumptious cupcakes 🧁🧁🧁
I was having a bad day with someone testing my patience on my way to work.
Now I’m invested in cupcakes. I can’t say I can be angry while looking at this stuff. I love baking
I just feel like she’s would en the nicest most supportive friend in the world 😍
I am 62 and have been cooking and baking all my life for family and friends .Even though I have been baking all my life, I learn so much out of Erin s videos .
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.
You look goodd
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@sakuraesther6309 thank you!
This video was worth the 45 mins of my time. I’m 45 and baked most of my life, but still gleaned helpful tips from this video. Thank you ❤
Erin making her own sound effects while icing is everything! How about an episode about cakes? Like what is the difference between different batters and methods, which cakes are better to stack up etc.? I know I'd be fascinated :)
Yes! I feel like a strictly, These Cakes Are Made This Way And Are Best For This Application, would be so great!
I always love, Love, LOVE Erin's way of teaching us. No matter what she's talking about, she has a smooth and entertaining way of expressing it. Thanks Erin!!! 🤗🤗
She is a walking talking smiling encyclopedia of baking wisdom!
👍🏽👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾
I’m a guy, I like to cook, but rarely bake. Erin is incredible and I find myself drawn to all her videos! Very talented baker and presenter. I feel like I’m attending a master class. Thanks Food52 and Thanks Erin!
Raise your hand if you're part of the 'I didn't measure out my batter and now I have an absolute monster of a cupcake and 11 normal ones' club
🙋🏾♀️.😄
I found you just before enrolling in culinary school and as I entered the pastry section I was able to reference your videos and I actually nailed the biscuit method because of your video with your dad! A wonderful resource:) Thank you! I’m sharing with my classmates as well ❣️ Oh and muffins!!!! I made blueberry lemon and also received an A 👏👏👏
I admire this woman so much!
Thank you so much for making all of these Bake It Up a Notch episodes freely available. They have helped me so much!
This channel is so unique and stands out by bringing us these amazing baking series ...and watching Erin make these is feast to eye and ears...through her passion for baking, we get to learn a lot ..and for even those who don't bake,it's still worth watching it for Erin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, Swetha :)
OMG! I have been waiting for this! For some reason I have been having trouble with the texture of my cake/cupcakes. As always, Erin gives me the correct recipes and demos. I have watched other tutorials from other baker’s and learned NOTHING! I love her book “The book on pie”, but she needs to write more cookbooks for these “Bake it up a notch “😉 She is my guru
This girl is wise beyond years, such an amazing teacher 💞
Erin you should charge for your classes!!!
Yet another episode that shows why I love Erin SO much! You are so knowledgeable. You are so gracious. You are so clear with instructions and explanations. You are so quirky and fun. Please be my personal friend (I feel like you are already!).I'll be over tomorrow, ok?
Erin you are the real treat! Thanks for sweetening our day 🧁
Very interesting. I have learned so much in this episode. Never knew about the reverse method of making Cupcakes before..
As usual excellent demonstration. Keep up the good work.. Thanks 👍.
So comprehensive! I love bake it up a notch
Erin - Thank you for the hint about refrigerating to get a fudgy texture! I've tried so many methods - who knew it was so easy!
Erin is like the cool senior in college who's most fun at parties but also guides you through your studies and internships. Love you Erin!!
Love you Erin. I hope you never run out of baking projects.😁🧁🍰🎂🍩🥮🍞
Erin, you are the queen, honestly. I’m a professional cook, but I always come back to watch your videos just to refresh my memory if I need to bake something and feel a bit rusty, and, of course, to learn something new. We are so blessed to have you!
Erin McDowell and Claire Saffitz have given me a love for baking that I never had before. Her energy is so contagious, I’ll bet her kitchen is the place everyone wants to hang out (being fed in mind and body). Thanks, Erin, for making food fun and approachable!
To prevent grease on the bottom of a cupcake liner, you can put a couple of grains of rice underneath them in the pan as they bake!
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!
Thanks so much for sharing, Ella!
Any of the cupcakes that didn't turn out perfect, break them up and make cake balls. This is a nice tutorial with a lot of sound advice. I am inspired to make cupcakes for Halloween. So much fun.
You are so cute and sunny! I love that I found your channel. Even after baking for most of my life you have explained so many things I never thought about, and solved problems I just accepted as something that just happens sometimes.
My fave cooking show ANYWHERE. Totally fan girling over Erin. The cold snap? Chocolate ganache filled? Layering cookie crumbs before baking? My mind is blown. I’m so excited to try all the things!!!! Thanks for being you Erin xx
I somehow lost you for awhile. Am so happy I get to watch you create your lovely pastries again - somehow I’m a total failure at baking. Can watch you and wish I wasn’t such a klutz 😊
Hi Erin, I am a beginner, and I am so happy I found your videos. They are full of good information, thank you
i love watching your videos, they give me that relax feeling that i never get bored or want them to go fasterthe bad thing is that they always make me hungry (and that i dont have your excellence at cooking
i was trying to find words to express my admiration for your elegant and beautiful way of presenting all the recipes, but i dont think so you deserve all the respect
This was my 1st time watching one of your videos and when I say I spend hours upon hours upon hours watching baking videos and this is one of the best I have seen. 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...
I love watching Erin's videos! There is such great information in each one of them. I love her sense of play. I pull up these videos whenever I bake. I will make each of these cupcakes she's showed us today. My family will think I'm a genius. All thanks to Erin!
Those cupcake boxes are incredible!!😍
cooking is just satisfying and relaxing to watch especially when ur wearing headphones

Erin watching your videos is like attending baking school. Thank you for your generous sharing ! Now I can try all these amazing recipes and methods of creating these delish cupcakes !
Thank you for helping me elevate my small business.
Is there a video on choosing icing to go with your cake? It would be wonderful to learn about what types of textures, flavors, etc. go well with each other when deciding how to ice your cake/cupcake! This was a lovely video, and i feel like this was the only thing it didn’t touch on!
That’s a great suggestion.
Teachers like you are hard to find Thanks a million for sharing your passion with us....Being a baker and expert myself I always welcome quick approach and learning It's tons of work to make this kind of immaculate video.....hats off to you my dear ...
The online course everyone needed. And free of charge to!! 🔥❤️
So much helpful information! Would have loved to see a cross-section of the interior of a cupcake from each of the different mixing methods to see the crumb. Enjoyed the video, though. Thanks, Erin!
I am so thankful for your videos. I almost gave up on baking. You give me hope ,
Thank you so much for this amazing CupCake class. Erin you really are amazing.

I watch your videos several times. Some for enjoyment and some to take notes.
YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE!!!!! I love your videos! Soooooo much pertinent info. I watched hundreds of baking clips to help me with my baking. I feel like if I started out with yours, I could’ve skipped most of the rest. Thank you for all of this info! I just bought some brioche cups. I can’t wait to try them out!
