love the fact you immediately forgot about the 3 sentence rule 😅

It just wasn't real and raw! We love a true, detailed Grackle review ☺️

[@limeparticle]

Thank you for the disclaimer at the beginning, food waste is such a huge problem and I feel like a lot of influencer culture feeds directly into making that problem even bigger.

[@faithjjohnson]

for any store bought croissants, also several other types of similar pastries, if you put them in the oven or an air fryer if you have one at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around 5-8 minutes it makes them so so much better and flaky instead of that weird grocery store croissant texture

[@smtpgirl]

100% I do the same thing. The country French bread two pack is delicious too.

[@antinovel]

as someone who is moving to the UK soon i consider your content to be extremely important for cultural immersion ☝🏼 thank you for the laughs grace 💛

[@ginger94]

Good luck with your move & for when you arrive, welcome to the UK 😊

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

What’s made you plan such a big move? And why uk in particular? I’m always asking vicarious living questions haha

[@antinovel]

⁠@@angelika_munkastrap4634partly for my post graduate studies, mostly for my soon-to-be husband who is British! we met while he was in Singapore for work (where I’m from). felt like I was stagnating here and thought a change is what I need to grow 🌱

[@antinovel]

@@ginger94thank you so much! I’m really looking forward to it 🥰

[@mollyapteros]

@@angelika_munkastrap4634 if you're curious about people moving countries, I moved to the UK from the US for six years. It was originally for grad school and then I married an EU citizen and we planned on staying permanently. This is because in my experience the UK is better than the US re: healthcare, working conditions, work/life balance, walkable cities, public transportation, and general quality of life. We've ended up stuck in the US for reasons beyond our control since lockdown, but we're working on getting back to either the UK or an EU country for all those reasons again.

An authentic Red Velvet will always be superior to a mere chocolate cake. The best ones are always made by someone's grandma for the church potluck. Traditionally, they are made with crushed pecans in the frosting and sometimes as a decoration for the top. I believe the next time you visit the USA, you should visit someplace like Charleston, NC or Savannah, Georgia or Fairhope, Alabama. Try some really delicious food cooked from the heart. Honestly, from seafood in Maine to BBQ in Texas; you should get out of the big, gross cities when you come over to the states and really experience the food that the smaller places have to offer. I am sure you and your family will be welcome anytime! Fun video. Big thumbs up!

[@saltistics]

The best red velvet recipe is from Divas Can Cook

[@baghabit7696]

Bakewell tarts?! 😮 yum! I’m obsessed with Bakewell tarts. I haven’t seen these in my southern Costco.

[@michaelsherck5099]

"Too much buttercream!" Ordinarily as a card-carrying American guy I would scoff at your assertion but a memory from young adulthood springs up. I'm nine years older than my younger sister and when she was nine or so she found a can of pre-made buttercream cake frosting in the cupboard after school. Ignoring my warnings, she grabbed a spoon and dug in. Half an hour later she was noisily sick. I have to admit, I grinned. So yes, I am forced to agree that it is possible for there to be too much buttercream. In the right circumstances, of course!

[@katiebwheeler]

costco muffins are life!!!!! the poppy seed used to be my favorite, the Bran muffins are also INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! We grew up splitting then in half as kids :)

1) where is papa Booth for the bakery test ?? He started this series so should continue it !! 2) yes, the pastries from Costco are always a major let down :( 3) bread options differ I believe, up here in Leeds we have many different sourdough like Wholemeal, baguettes, loafs … 4) the fridged bakes seem to be soo much better than the other stuff, their cheesecakes are great and so is the peach and fruit tart they do in summer 5) their seasonal ranges are decent, Christmas is mince pies, Easter is fruit cakes and so on so on 6) PLEASE, PLEASE make this a whole Costco series .. we need like everything haha, ready meals, frozen items and single products would be great :)

[@sephestra.]

My husband came in while I was watching and I excitedly said, "She's in England and she's trying all the baked goods from her Costco!! 😍". The look of abject horror on his face was proof he knew that in the very near future his Costco-loving wife would be recreating it with baked goods from our Costco here in Michigan.

[@JessieCarty]

I really loved the addition of the text on screen :) and that the red velvet cake redeemed itself. It a red velvet is made "right" (meaning not just a faintly red colored chocolate cake), it can be SO good.

[@alexanderschwarm7755]

Omg love this video I recently got my Costco uk membership and I have been obsessed!

[@JaiProdz]

I absolutely love the vanilla Costco cake and had no absolute idea they had that in the uk. I'm over in Canada and we recently had some for the holiday of Christmas last year. It just holds up and it's incredibly delicious you got to let that thaw out so it's not frozen or cold and once its room temperature all the flavors just Mary and it's so delicious

[@annaburch3200]

At our Costco (near Costco headquarters in Washington State) we get some great seasonal items. We LOVE the apple streusel muffins and my son's absolute favorite apple pie is the GIANT Costco apple pie with the lattice top and crunchy bits of sugar. At Thanksgiving, the pumpkin pies FLY out of the case!!! Theres a time-lapse video, somewhere of the pumpkin pies being stocked and quickly disapearing. Iconic! I've also enjoyed their peanut butter pie, but good Lord! That's something you bring to a party and cut small slices - it's huge and HEAVY! But delicious!! 🤤

[@kawkabon]

My favourite cake from Costco is the mini Victoria sponge. Comes in a pack of 6. It’s much less sweeter than the big cake and uses fresh cream. So so good! You must try it

[@shaenmacdevette9610]

We dont have a Cosco in South Africa but it looks like quite a large supermarket that does products in bulk which would explain why the pastries like croissants are dry and stale. Possibly sat on the shelf for a while! Whereas a smaller shop is going to produce smaller batches more often as the get sold.

[@ellexpress111]

We didn't renew our COSCO subscription in NZ this year we haven't been that impressed with it so always enjoyable to see how you find the baking

[@ChickenCiaoMain]

Milk chocolate cookie and carrot cake are my favourite ❤️ ten outta 🔟 !!

[@disasterofalldisasters]

I'd like to see you try the Bruce by Get Baked. Actually I'd love a review of their whole range!

[@EmmaRowson]

The plain vanilla birthday cake is always the best for me! It’s always so SOFT and moist! The carrot cake is also elite! But I think the WHITE chocolate cookie is by far the best IMO. I just took 2 packs to a family gathering and the white chocolate went first on my rec because people sleep on them! Anyway love the Costco series 🎉

[@rlhouse3635]

Thanks for doing the review, Grace. I have not tried the Kirkland items you had except for the round chocolate cake, and I agree with your review. Have you tried the Kirkland cheesecake? Personally, I like it, but curious about your thoughts. Thanks! 🥰

It’s crazy that Costco membership in the UK has stipulations to become a member of- none of which apply to me! lol, literally a shop I’m not allowed to shop at. I’ve always envied people that go because the food always looks so good 🤤

[@ktelise]

Is there a way you can get a membership from another country to circumnavigate those stipulations? I don’t understand how you can’t just pay around $60 for the yearly membership and then you have access to Costco anywhere in the world. That’s how every other Costco seems to work, why is the UK different, I wonder?

[@lynnejamieson2063]

There is the Annual Subscription for £15 but it’s only for UK online shopping, Costco Travel and Free Technical Support, so there are many items that can’t be bought. All other types of membership have employment restrictions, so you either have to be in a specific profession (or retired from it with proof) or own your own business.

[@baghabit7696]

There are some good items in Costco, but it’s not super amazing. You’re not missing out on that much tbh. Most of the baked goods look good, but most don’t taste amazing (with a few exceptions)

[@nicolad8822]

Most people know someone who come within the parameters? Tradespeople, small business owners, firefighters, Police, teachers, health service workers etc? My sister goes, I don’t see the point. There are two people in her household she buys giant packs of butter which look rancid by the time they get to the end of it and takes up so much room in the fridge. You need a lot of space to store bulk bought items.
