I’ve always found seven minute frosting far easier than the merengue frosting you used.
Yes! My late sister and I loved 7-minute frosting. It was like eating marshmallow fluff, but not as sticky! Neither one of us was much of a baker, but we made it successfully many times.
Food coloring trick: Take a little of your icing (like a couple tablespoons) and put it with your gel coloring into a separate bowl and microwave it for about 10-15 seconds until the icing is melted give it a stir then reincorporate with the rest of the icing. Usually it will help boost the color, those dyes are water soluble so when you put them straight into the icing there's not enough fluid to fully incorporate.
I love these sorts of compilation videos! I’m in such a cozy, chilly, spooky mood and this is just perfect!
“I’m not a wizard” lmao. 😅 I love you!!!
My mother made the cake when I was a kid. I had forgotten that but I remembered as soon as you showed the picture. Thank you 😊
I would love a cut of bloopers! Your reactions when things go awry brings me joy. :)
I went to a kids' birthday party once, and the mom had made these. The kids loved them, of course.
I love the ghost cake, it's very clever! I'd absolutely buy that cake baking dome forming thingy for my weird kitchen gadget collection! I used to bake a lot of cakes. A long time ago, I bought blue food colouring powder from a bakery. I used way too much in my cake. My guests went home with dark blue mouths and the next day... well, let's not go there.😁
It’s 3:30 in the morning and I can’t sleep so I put you on UA-cam and I’m laughing so much now I’m wider awake! Very cute ideas!
I'm 1000% making this ghost cake for my family's halloween dinner in a couple of weeks.
That fluffy icing looked like my dad's favorite 'Comfort Frosting' from the old Betty Crocker cookbook (it is one of the variants of White Mountain Icing). You can't make it when it is humid, the weather must be dry. You have to really pour that hot sugar mixture in very slowly and yes you still get the syrup on the bowl edges. The fun thing is that on the 2nd day it develops a crust and takes on the flavor of divinity. Mom always made Dad's birthday cake with that, white layers, coconut in the middle and coconut added to the top. The ghost would be yummy with the coconut. Your dome cake pan set looks like it was fun to bake, I'm sorry I never bought one years ago. Better hit up ebay! Thanks for the fun video compilation and hope your time away has been relaxing.
I loved everything you made, it was all so great. My favorite was your ghost cake. I laughed so much. Good times with Anna.
My Grandma always said as long as it tastes good we don’t care how it looks😂😂
Those little ghosts are adorable!
These all looked like so much fun to make! The white spooky pretzels almost look like the aliens from Sesame Street, I feel like I could dump fuchsia or bright blue jimmys on top and walk around with the plate saying yip yip yip-yip-yip! XD
The first frosting you made is a cooked white frosting it is important to know that when making the first frosting that the egg whites have to be at room temperature and that your boiling sugar has to be at the exact temperature that the recipe calls for, or it will turn out in this case case to be a meringue. My grandmother taught me how to make this. And when going to Johnson and wales culinary institute in providence, the chefs taught me how to make the three different meringues as well as a full proof white cooked icing. You did an awesome job. Wish i could get the info to you about the 3 different types of meringues to make.
This is the absolutely best set of flaming eyeballs I have ever seen! I am soooo excited!
That first frosting reminds me of homemade divinity
It’s so easy to look back on the past with modern solutions.
Thank you for sticking with your video for us.
I love your ghost cake.❤👻
You are so funny. I love your comments. Thank you for doing these videos!!!
Love this video. You had me cracking up. So cute. Thank you!😂😊
I love watching ALL your videos. I love that you are so real and show us things that don’t turn out quite like planned 😊 All of us have things that don’t look quite like the picture LOL and You show us back up plans! Keep them coming 😊
Thank you so much!!
"Those Muppets" HAHA! I knew EXACTLY What you were talking about before the picture popped up... too funny. What fun treats for Halloween!
I was laughing so hard during the ghost cake. Thanks so much for making my day better.
That was a hoot! The music was perf. 😁
Glad you enjoyed it! 🎃
That was so much fun! You underestimate yourself, Anna! Everything came out fine. I'd go to your party anytime. ❤👻🎃🧙♀️🪄🧹👽😱☠️☣️
Great Halloween ideas. Thank you for your videos.
Happy Halloween🎃🧡🖤👻
These are such fun recipes! I would love to make that Jack-O-Lantern cake with a bit of pumpkin spice flavouring in the sponge and frosted with the pumpkin fluff!!
My husband was watching this with me and as soon as you showed the pretzels he said "they look like the Muppets that tried to answer the phone"!
Yip....yip .....brrrrrrring😂
A tip from a class i took many years ago is to freeze the cake before decorating it. I'm glad betty crocker cake mixes have stepped up their game. duncan hines used to be the best. I appreciate truth on youtube if the shtf or not we all have those days.
I love Halloween food! All looks so yummy!
I remember the ghost with flaming eyes !
I love vintage holiday desserts. They were homemade and therefore not perfect, and they were just more innocent and fun (in my opinion). My Mom used to make a homemade coconut Easter bunny cake every year. No matter how I make it, I can't recapture that taste from my childhood.
Yaaaas I am so here for this! 🎃🧡
Happy Halloween! Love the music and, as always, the fun recipes. 😊I remember those bake and fill cakes!
I'm very glad you did a Halloween compilation because I hadn't seen any of those recipes.
I've been dipping treats for years and have never used a dipping scoop. I will have to get one for the upcoming holidays.
The cake mold would be perfect for making ice cream cakes! Thank you for introducing me to so many tools, techniques snd ingredients that will be fun to play around with.
Hi Anna, I'm a fairly new subscriber and as both a librarian and baker (just for family) I have been enjoying your love of cookbooks and your enthusiasm for retro recipes. I love that you are sharing your joy of cookbooks. I appreciate your taking the time to share stories, anecdotes and illustrations from the variety of cookbooks you have. Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊
Oh my goodness, this was hysterical! I'm still laughing. Thanks - I needed that! 🙂 Have a sweet and happy Halloween.
Haha I love it- 9:07 Hey girl hey! Love your channel! So much perspective!!!
Love this, I’m gonna make the pretzels this year thanks to you.
Try measuring flour, powdered sugar, Bisquick etc. on a sheet of parchment or wax paper so you can pick the paper up, make a v, and slide the overflow right back into the package. I have one piece of parchment folded in half I use over and over for this.
LMAO😂😂😂😂😂 oh Anna!!
Happy Halloween!! My favorite season of the year!! 🎃 👻
Loved how you saved the day with changing the icing! I would say half of the time when cooking or baking, I’ve had to tweak things! Glad the last frosting turned out alright with the cake!
Must say, I’ve never used box frosting mixes, have used the canned frosting! Used to eat the chocolate fudge frosting with a spoon if any left over. Usually had to fight with my sister when younger, and my children when I got older! Lol!
Must say, would love to do the pumpkin fluff dip! My son would yum that up! Lol!
You look so good in glasses!
My partner who I watch this with says your makeup looks great in this video!
Used to make boiled frosting all the time. Takes time and practice. I love your videos
Thank you, Anna, for your unending creativity! 🎃❤️
That dipping spoon looks handy! I've always dipped my pretzels at Christmastime using two toothpicks with both hands. Your way looks much easier!
It was totally worth the $7.99 or whatever I paid for it. It made the whole process so much easier!
I think the ghost cake is the cutest cake ever awesome stuff Anna
Thank you!! I grew up wanting to make it and never did until 35 years later. 😂
Thank you! I really enjoyed this Halloween episode!
Wow! Your videos are amazing! I've been binge watching many of them. Excellent!
Glad you like them! ❤
Your “coming attractions” captions were ALMOST the best part. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m still a new enough subscribers that I don’t recall the ghost video the first time. So about that fluffy white icing? Since you have vintage cookbooks, you probably have a recipe for Seven Minute Frosting somewhere. That one does involve you standing at the stove for seven minutes with a hand mixer over a double boiler but it doesn’t involve having to cook syrup to softball stage. I think it might have the texture that they were looking for for the ghost cake. 👻🎃
Sweet! Thank you
These were such fun ideas Anna!! Loved the ghost cake and those pretzels are just the cutest with the eyeballs! ❤❤
The ghost segment had me laughing out loud!
Hello, my favorite recently found vintage cookbook is Encyclopedia Of European Cooking by Musia Soper, from 1962. Mostly simple recipes that are based on readily obtainable ingredients. Very well edited. Tons of recipes. Organized by country including Bulgaria and Russia. Uses contemporary British measurements like a gill of broth and a suspicion of garlic. It's quite a relic from the pre-Julia Child era. Not many pictures, but the ones in it are precious. Sometimes available used. I paid about $15 for my own, and about the same for another copy that I gave as a gift.
thank u so much for the recipes!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
This video was so fun!
Fun to watch
This was a fun video to watch. You took me back to some memorable screwups I've done in the past. LOL I remember laughing myself silly with a couple of them. Thanks for a great video, Anna!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🎃
Great fun! Loved the pretzel candies. But, I don't bake so there's that....ha, ha.
Wonderful
The pumpkin cake… 🧡 You were having so much fun! 😁
I like to decorate cakes for the pure joy of it and not to improve my skills. 😂
Molten sugar - just soak in water. It’ll come off! I love be some good ‘ol buttercream. Homemade! Easy and quick and can be adjusted for different needs. The tub of frosting from the late 70s and early 80s was so hard (so soft use a paper knife my butt). Pro tip with the frosting tub that I learned on my own - mix it in the mixer until fluffy. It mixes some air into it (if using a chocolate or a colour end frosting it will lighten in colour) making it softer and doubling in size.
That retro pumpkin cake. It was everywhere!!!
“We did it. I did it. You didn’t help.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“I’m not a wizard” 😅
I *LOVE* your pumpkin apron, and must find one like it! Thanks for the ideas -- I has previously seen one of these recipes, but I'm a new sub, so it's nice to see the others for some ideas. Enjoy your travels, and happy Spooky Season!
Thanks for the compilation, haven't seen these videos yet
Thank you Anna
My mom used to make 7 minute frosting but I never liked it. What a fun video! Thanks for sharing. 😘💯😋
Your kitchen is so nice! I just love it.😊
Happy Halloween!
Yes, the sugar syrup was too hot. You just needed to stop at temp and immediately get it into the egg whites. I think that is also how you make an Italian buttercream and its sooooo good.
Fun!
They do sell premade fluffy white frosting in the canned frosting section, but now I want to try your whipped cream cheese frosting.
The whipped cream cheese icing is SO delicious and looks beautiful. I've used it for several cakes now.
I would dip pretzels in that pumpkin fluff.
They have a Pumpkin Spice Jell-O pudding mix. I'd like to use that for the di
I am just digging the arms on that ghost cake!!! Very fun
I was so proud of myself for figuring those out! 😂
@@cooking_the_books you did amazing!!!! So curious what burning eggshell smells like now ☺️☺️
You can use white chocolate melted with the coconut oil and orange gel food coloring.
I got excited to get the bell that you put out another video 😊 your friend Trish in Sandiego Ca USA
I use to like buying the powdered frosting mix. It was really good. I am scratch baker but that was good stuff. I have problems with the fluffy white frosting too. I'm glad I'm not the only one that had issues. OK. Edit. I only used the chocolate frosting mix.
I love your apron
The first one in this video. The one with the pumpkins 🎃 on it 😊
Hi - love this longer video even if it’s recycled! Question, or maybe suggestion for a video - you’ve made all these wonderful recipes, some hits and some misses. You’ve mentioned “making something again,” (and NOT making it again lol), and I’d be curious if you have any ‘go to dishes’ retro, or otherwise, for personal get togethers…. i.e., what do you cook for holidays, or are you know for a special dish (like your nachos you make). Anyway, just an idea and thank you for your wonderful videos!
I love your channel it reminds me cooking shows in the 70s like Julia Child really a escape from this crazy World of bad news we have nowadays I’m a Dad in my 50’s I have a 5 kids ( welll I call them kids lol ) but we are definitely watching your videos and makings these recipes thank you so much and please keep up the great work
Thanks for the shout out to my terrifying dishwasher!
Hope all is well!
Love you
The pumpkin cake in the picture kind of looks like the Kool-Aid Man. Yours was more Hallowe’en-y.
The pumpkin fluff recipe would have been a great filling in the jack o lantern cake. I realize they were probably from different videos. I need to find one of those fill cake pans. I have a checkerboard cake set, those are a pain in the rear to use but the effect was kind of cool. I only used it maybe once for the checkerboard effect. I used to work as a cake decorator at my local grocery store and that cake turntable just brought back the memories. It was my favorite job I ever worked at and I was heartbroken the day my boss fired me.
Funny you mentioned the pumpkin fluff as filling...I was planning to use the fluff along with a spice cake to take to a party! I think they'd go well together, too. 😀
Just found you.. fun videos. I miss diner food from the 1970s & 1980s. That rice pudding, hot open turkey sandwiches. You can get them today.. but they’re not quite the same. I’d love it if you found one.. a vintage diner recipe.
💜💜💜🎃
👍🏻
You will have crystals when you add the boiled sugar, it should not effect the outcome unless you scrape it into the frosting
Hi Anna ! This ghost cake is becoming a real challenge!!" But I know you can do it so it should come out good! Seems like alot of steps to make this cake !! Sugar cubes to make the flaming eyes ! I Google seach ghost cake by Betty crocker it's from boys and girls cookbook from 1975!!
That pan would have come in handy when I tried to make a basketball cake once. It was about as orange as yours, but I think it tasted better that way!
Have you ever tried a checkerboard cake pan?
I have never tried a checkerboard cake pan. I remember wanting one as a kid though! 😂
My worst frosting experience was making a boiled icing from a children’s cookbook when I was 11, it didn’t end well.
I think to fluff egg white you need to mix eggs in a metal bowl
Just a FYI, your. Ado syrup bottle should have a recipe for boiled (fluffy) frosting on the label.
👻🎃👻❤️
Can you help me figure out what am looking for? It's sort of like a millionaire bar, but it's not caramel in the middle. The top is chocolate (semi-sweet) and the middle is creamy white-ish thick custard (firm not creamy), and the bottom is graham cracker crust-ish, but has a bit more body than just plain graham cracker crust. The bars as I remember the were about 3/4 inch high. I'm not sure if coconut was involved, but could have been. Any ideas?
It sounds like this could be similar to the Fudge Meltaway Bars from Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book. They’re very similar to Nanaimo Bars.
@@cooking_the_books I am going with Nanaimo bars. My mom used the Cookie Book a lot, but the middle (from your other video) seems way too "Oreo filling" where as what I remember was very thick pudding like. Also the top was definitely not unsweetened chocolate. Thanks.
Old timey frosting is a nightmare
That should say Karo syrup
You could have used marshmallow fluff too.
