    I have a young neighbor (8 years old), that is learning, and loves to bake. I have been making some of your easy cake recipes, and I drop off some cake and show him how to make them himself. He just tried the hot milk cake, and the pumpkin cake, too. I have encouraged him and his mom to go to your YT page to get the many tips and tricks that you give while you are baking. We are both learning a lot!

    I'm a 13 year old aspiring chef/baker and I really admire you and your style of cooking. Everything you have showed me about baking has helped me in numerous ways to become a better chef and baker. I have a copy of your previous cookbook, (Preppy Kitchen recipes for seasonal pleasures) and can't wait to get your new one. Thank you for helping me to become the best possible self I can be.

Was going to make her a Reese’s peanut butter poke cake, but can’t find a recipe that doesn’t leave dimples. Hopefully I find one before her husband’s birthday…

    I have to say I've never made/tried any of your savory dishes. However I have made SO many of your dessert dishes! And I have to say they are always a hit with my family and friends. They'll tell me things like, "I can't order tiramisu after having yours" and I always say Preppy Kitchen!
    Tiramisu
    Pumpkin Bread
    Key lime pie
    Pumpkin cookies
    Chocolate chip cookies
    Chocolate mousse
    Strawberry frosting with your Chocolate cupcakes
    Gingerbread cookies (those are amazing just plain!)
    Banana bread
    I could go on and on! Thank you for sharing your recipes with all of us! I am truly grateful! ❤

    • @SherriSenel

      Oh and your Chocolate toffee! Sooo good! I can't believe I missed that one! I do a family cookie bake with my girls and grandbabies using your recipes for Christmas and make a bunch of boxes to give away. Again thank you for sharing! Your recipes have created so many wonderful family moments together!❤

    I love your recipes! Every recipe that I have tried turned out as advertised! I pre-ordered your new book and am excited to receive it next week! Your lemon leaf and apple bread recipes get rave reviews from my family. I am constantly telling people about your channel. Thank you for creating such easy recipes that always turn out. 😊
    I also wanted to mention that providing different options for cooking methods is a GREAT idea! So many times I have wanted those options in a recipe but have had to guestimate and no guarantee of success. Different ingredient options is also great because sometimes you really need them so you aren't constantly buying new ingredients that won't necessarily get used often. Your channel is Food Network quality! I used to enjoy that tv channel when they actually had cooking shows...so I appreciate all your efforts. ❤

    Thanks this is a beautiful cake! I know see why you whip the butter so long White for a white cake. But that airy butter mixture mixes in so uniformly! Your frosting look far superior to any I’ve made over the years. I’m stealing this technique for sure! Thank you very much! Happy unbirthday to all!

    I’ve seen “tv chefs” just scoop out the flour and not seemingly worried about accidentally using more flour; not sure when I started, but I fluff my flour with a fork and then put it in my measuring cups - somewhere, I have a plastic fork with only three tines….my flour fluffer 😂 - then I invested in a digital scale, but the three tine fork is still used.
    The cake looks yummmylicious!

    Love the cake, but curious about a couple of things. when you measure out the powdered sugar, the measuring cup is way more generous than level, as per the flour needs to be level measure. and in the frosting, you want the most white you can get but then use dark vanilla instead of clear. Could you explain please? Thanks!
