I think I have seen all your videos. I am a stay at home mom and knew nothing about baking. I am now making an income through cake orders. I have learnt a lot if not everything in your videos. Thank you very much for sharing. You are a blessing Liz.

So glad reverse creaming is getting its well-deserved credit since Rose Levy Beranbaum's era.

Looks so good! 😍 here in Sweden the most basic birthday cake flavour is raspberry jam and vanilla custard from a box with storebought cake bases. And the cake is always frosted with wipped cream. I was so over this so I started making my own cakes when I was 13 😅

My Mom used to buy an Entenmann's cake with plastic Santa 🎅 on it. & then b4 she put the candles on... she'd TAKE off the Santa face. (Makes sense.... cuz we don't celebrate Xmas.)
Now...
I MAKE My own! (Usually chocolate.... & sometimes a really good Vanilla. Depending on my mood)
Thanks 4 ALL u'r delicious 😋 recipes!!

😂😂😂😂 This video is awesome 👍 I always liked funfetti with the rainbow chip tub frosting. I can't find those little rainbow chips anywhere anymore but....I miss them. 😔

[Brandi_the_Baker]

My go to bday cake was always funfetti cake with rainbow chip icing. If you never had store bought rainbow chip, you’re missing out. Betty Crocker actually quit making it at one point and was petitioned to bring it back…and they did!!! Yay!

I made this tonight OMGGGG that’s all I have to say!!! Thank you for always providing the best recipes

Growing up my mom would make me a funfetti angel food cake covered in 7-minute frosting she had died pink. No sprinkles on the outside so it was a surprise when you cut into the cake. It was so pretty and delicious and sweet. Just how I like my cake. I might have to make one for nostalgia sake.
Happy baking. 💗

My birthday cakes would be either a classic chocolate with fudge frosting, red velvet, or a marble cake with fudge frosting. I’m not a funfetti fan, but it’s my hubby’s birthday cake of choice.
