I don't know what happened to this gentleman but God bless you for keeping these videos up. Am just starting cake making and decorating hoping to start my own little side business and your videos are the most informative I've found on YouTube. Thank you.

This is the best cake baking tutorial I have ever attended or watched. No one else has discussed and demonstrated determining and correcting the oven temperature; the importance of, and how to level the oven; temperature for anodized vs non-anodized pans; etc. Thank you.

Five minutes in and I’ve learned so much already! No wonder ppl say baking is difficult, they start off neglecting all these elements! Thanks for the vid!

My official cake recipe. Very easy to follow, no BS step-by-step instructions. Made this with my 6yr. Old daughter who loves 💞 to cook with Daddy.

Thanks for the video and all the extra tips you shared! Time, wax, flouring the greased pan, temperature differences based on type of pan. You were awesome. This has to be the best scratch cake recipie on The College of YouTube.

I followed all the steps and instructions you talked about and for the first time I made a real cake... it came out perfectly and am really proud of myself.
Thank you very much for the tutorial.

I have been going through your tutorials.  I am 44yo and have never baked a cake.  Now I am making cakes from scratch because of your videos.  I cant thank you enough for teaching me to do something everyone should do just for the serenity of it.  Thanks so much Chef Tetreault!

You could have been my Home Ec teacher in High School back in the 68/69. Great class! Looking forward to more as you are now helping my husband! Bless you ever so much!

I watched your entire series on making your own wedding cake and then used this recipe to make the cake for my daughter's reception. It was my very first wedding cake so it had a couple of aesthetic issues, but the taste was
FAB-U-LOUS!!! My daughter's mother-in-law took the leftover cake to her job and she said they devoured it!! Thank you so much for your willingness to share your recipes and techniques!

Been baking for a decade and you just blew my mind! So so much good information that I can't believe I didn't know and that would have saved me many tears and burnt cakes over the years! I love all of your videos but this one has been so insanely helpful, thank you for your time and effort!!!
