I find it really helpfully that Claire (and the whole of BA) explain the reasoning for taking certain steps, rather than just doing something and not explaining why, it really helps with baking and cooking!!

WE HAVE BEEN GETTING SO MUCH CLAIRE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS I FEEL SO BLESSED CLAIRE IS MY VALENTINE

So many Claire videos lately. It's like the best late Christmas present.

I'm not a baker, in fact I don't even cook (at all), and I normally just watch these BA videos and think "Yum, that looks so good but I'll never make it". BUT this time I said "No!! I'm making this." And I did!! And it came out like pretty good! Thank you Claire.

Claire needs to make gourmet Little Debbie snack cakes. Cosmic Brownies or Oatmeal Cream Pies.

That frosting looked delicious, I love it when the frosting isn't overly sweetened! Loved the video!

It was 11pm here the Philippines and I decided to make this. It's now almost 3 in the morning. The cake is done. I will be making the icing tomorrow. And my God, the cake itself tastes lovely! Guys, you should make this. The recipe is easy and the ingredients are all easy to find.

My daughter says Claire should try to make gourmet pop tarts!

Finally, she's Claire and not "Pastry Chef".

It wouldn’t be a BA video without Chris doing Chris things in the background.

I love when Claire explain the science and purpose of the specific ingredients, makes me more understand the beauty of this craft rather than just add and mix random things together.

Claire please make the Little Debbie cosmic brownies for the next gourmet video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
