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 .
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!
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 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
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’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!
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 :)
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?
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!!! 🤗🤗
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 👍.
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!
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
12:06 Erin purrrrrrrrrs "Vanillaaaaaaaa " ya gotta love this girl. She absolutely LOVES to BAKE. Her PASSION is remarkable & rare. 20:19-24 OMGOSH, she's fangirling over the batter. LOL. I LOVE YOU ERIN. YOU GO GURL!!!!!
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
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 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!
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
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
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...
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 !
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.
I just found your channel and have been binge watching! I’m seriously impressed with your attention to detail, your teaching ability and your knowledge. I am an excellent cook but have always been intimidated with baking. Birthdays and holidays are approaching and I’m feeling more confident thanks to you. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. You are amazing!
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 ...
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.
My cake was BEAUTIFUL. Most importantly it was structurally perfect, I did a beautiful crumb coat. I made a Russian buttercream which was DELICIOUS and my fat ass , really loved it lol. But I really have to practice on which icing will work best for decorating. So I Know which one I Will be watching next’
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 never tire watching you Erin, you are such a pro with so many helpful hints. When I find myself streaming down my subscriptions it's never you that I cut loose. Thank you much I have learned a ton watching you the reason I follow 52 👍
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!
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!
I love her joyful way of telling about how we can do this as well. Your simplicity is so Wonderful...I'm screaming. Thank you for showing me few things..I hadn't thought of. God Bless You for helping me...us ...to be the Best at what we love to do. Thank you
I would love to watch Erin discuss bundt cakes in a future Bake it up a Notch! 🥰🥰 I love these videos, they are worth every moment! Fun, educational, and easy to watch 😄🤗

I admire this woman so much!
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!
What a lovely human being you are! 💗🙏🏽
Purely joy to watch! Thank you! 😍
Erin you are the real treat! Thanks for sweetening our day 🧁
