Claire Teaches You Cake Baking (Lesson 1) | Baking School | Bon Appétit

[@bonappetit]

The next four episodes are available to stream on Bon Appétit’s streaming channel as Claire walks you through the next steps: sweet spreads, frosting, stacking the layers and decorations. See how to watch now here: bonappetit.com/tv

[@uhpenyen4291]

This is what SOLD me to this channel. One of her videos on making gourmet treat, which I forgot which one it was (and my first episode of this channel) is what I needed to see in a cooking channel. The frustration, the problem solving, the mistake making, the success. It was real, raw, and relatable. Loved it.

Or does she? I could have sworn I saw her drive one cake into the woods and came back alone.

it ruins the crumb, the cake will be dense and gross. if you don't over mix, it'll be fluffier, or crumbly.

You can fully/almost fully assemble lots of cakes with perfect success, they’ll still taste amazing once defrosted. If you have to make a lot of cake for a crowd (and might want to do as much as possible in advance because of a stressful and difficult to coordinate event) it can be a good option. If you want it frosted (as opposed to naked sides) you have to ice it after thawing, but baking it in advance can cut out a lot of work close to the big day!

[@isabelnecessary5915]

2:40 anything wrong with handheld mixers, they've always worked fine for me

[@summerbandicoot4761]

The main disadvantage is that you can’t switch out the mixing attachments. Some recipes will explicitly call for the paddle attachment not the whisk attachment to avoid beating too much air into a batter/mix (which sometimes leads to collapse after baking). Practically speaking that’s the main downside, but the stand mixer also has the advantage of being able to walk away from it and let it mix on its own. Especially if you’re doing something like an Italian meringue frosting which can take a while, it’s nice to not have to stand there the whole time. I also haven’t found any handheld mixers with the ability to control speed in the way that stand mixers do. Often handheld mixers start at a pretty fast pace and only get faster - there’s no true low/stir setting, whereas stand mixers go from very slow to very fast. A stand mixer’s whisk attachment is also larger and can work more air into a mixture more efficiently than a hand mixer. Plus you have both hands available to pour things into the mixing bowl, no fumbling around one-handed. HOWEVER bakers have been using hand mixers exclusively for a long time (or even no mixer at all) with perfect success so if you rarely bake, it might not be a great choice to drop $400 on a stand mixer. If you do get a nice one it opens more options for what you can make too - stand mixers typically come with a paddle, whisk, and bread hook attachment, but you can often purchase extra accessories for making ice cream, rolling pasta, etc. But if your hand mixer works for you then there’s not necessarily any need to change that!

[@isabelnecessary5915]

@@summerbandicoot4761 ah I see. I just fold it with a spatula if I don't want to know the air out but I see that advantage to stand mixers. Personally I like to bake a bit but not enough to justify buying a stand mixer so the hand held works well enough for me.
