Every recipe: don't overmix the batter.
Some recipes: don't overmix the batter, otherwise *insert different reason every time*
BA: don't overmix the batter, otherwise... *SHOWS WHAT THE HECK ACTUALLY HAPPENS*
Thanks, Claire ❤️

The 'what happens if you do it another way' bits are actually brilliant. I've always wondered this stuff but always just read in books 'do it X way'. This showing you why NOT to do it the other way is a great learning aid. Half Sour delivers.

Claire's nervous laughter when the parchments round didn't fit is a mood

[lizbennett]

I love how Claire doesn’t hide her mistakes. Even professionals make mistakes too!

[AaROnYAnRox]

Claire is the best, more Claire videos. More Brad, too!

[TiwidTV]

Bon Appétit really knows how whipped we are for Claire (pun intended).

"A cake that's properly baked should taste good without any frosting at all" YESSS. Any time my mom makes cupcakes for work I ask her to leave some without frosting for me, because they're SO GOOD just by themselves!

[IamStantastical]

OK but why was this filmed in Janet's void from The Good Place?

[jannellor]

I really love and appreciate that you made comparison videos to show what happens when you mix "incorrectly". Thanks Claire!!!

[Richardangelo]

Claire should never apologize for making a carrot cake too big. 😂

[strawberry]

Absolutely brilliant. For once, someone explains the WHY of different cake baking techniques. Thank you.

[brightonrock]

As usual, Claire has provided invaluable information in a wonderfully enjoyable video.

I watched the whole series last night and ordered tons of equipment that will arrive tomorrow.


Today, in preparation for the birthday cake, I wanted to write down the recipe. Much to my dismay no actual amounts have been provided.


If you see this Claire, the community would be even more indebted to you if a recipe would be provided.


Thanks for all your work.

"This carrot cake is too big" is just not a thought I have ever experienced in my life, and I still have not

[jayanths]

5 episodes of Claire?! That's even better than Netflix!

Can you please start including the ingredients in your videos please? I love your videos but sometimes I have to google for the exact same recipe and keep going in between the recipe on the BA website and the video for visual instructions and it’s hard to follow along to bake like that. Also someone said the measurements of the ingredients for the cakes in this video are listed on the streaming channel but the streaming channel isn’t available for people in the EU. Not to sound entitled, it’s just that I’d appreciate it because I really enjoy BA videos and it’s not always easy following along without the measurements there. Sorry if I sound demanding or rude in any way. I don’t mean to.
