Cupcake hints…use a larger size ‘cookie scoop’ to help make them the same size…cover your waiting batter with a sheet of plastic wrap and/or a kitchen towel so the batter stays the same consistency for each batch…don’t be afraid to take them out of the oven as soon as the toothpick comes out clean (even if the tops are still shiny) because they will continue to cook a bit as they rest in the pan (this goes for brownies too)…finally, add your sprinkles as you frost them and they will stick better for you. I love spending time with you! Thank you for opening your life to all of us!! 💕

They are great for stirring oatmeal and thick sauces as the little curve fits the curve of the pot and prevents sticking. I hope you enjoy them half as much as we enjoy your videos! ❤

[@dianerobinett3825]

What a lovely gift Lori; we love our Spurtles, they have so many uses. Becky, you may already know not to wash your wooden utensils in the dishwasher or allow them to soak for long periods of time. This will allow you to have years, even decades, of use. They also need to oiled every so often with either bamboo oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or olive oil. I try to oil mine every 3 months or so. Thank you for such lovely and fun videos!

I watched this on my FireTV, and one if the ads was for the soon to be streaming show on HBO MAX about Julia Child. I grew up watching her on PBS and didn't realize how revolutionary she was. Becky, you too are revolutionary because there have been a lot of us out here struggling to keep these traditions alive with the next generation and YOU are showing just how easy and FUN it is! Thanks for all you do!!

[@interestedobserver9352]

You are so fun to watch. Very interactive videos because I find myself yelling for you to pay attention to something or not forget something .. and I am always terrified that you are overfilling your mixer! But, it eventually works out and you end up with delicious looking food. You survive the kitchen disasters we all have, but you do it with better humor and a better end product. Good for you!

[@ms_millan_6829]

Hey Becky, loved the chocolate recipe. TIP: Instead of hot boiling water use hot coffee, this will give you a much richer & intense chocolate flavor.

[@09echols]

This sounds like a cake I used to make as a teen for church bake sales. A trick to make a lot of cupcakes is to bake a sheet cake. Then use a biscuit cutter to cut them out. Then lay them on a cooling rack and poor the icing over them. After they cool put them into cupcake liners, add a swirl of whipped cream or chocolate icing or my favorite chocolate whipped cream with a sprinkle of toffee bits.

[@AuntieD.]

Was just about to suggest this when I saw your comment. I absolutely agree. I have dishers/ scoopers in 2 sizes traditionally used for ice cream, and 3 smaller cookie scoopers. They make all your cupcakes, muffins and cookies so much easier to portion out & they'll all be the same size 😃

[@karencristobal4999]

One of the things I appreciate about your channel is the way that you role model how to not sweat the small stuff eg: the olive oil spill. Homemakers are pretty tightly wound and if the only work that you are doing is how to graciously and gracefully whistle through the hard stuff, (and it certainly isn't: you do much more than that), it's fantastic work.

[@lindamickel8545]

Anything from scratch also doesn't have all those preservatives. Especially ones you can't pronounce. I like Josh's thinking. Extra cupcakes? You can freeze them for him. I bit the bullet; I ordered a freeze dryer. Instead of the rolls don't they have a "sheet" now that you could just cut into strips? Not cheating! Was left over from another purpose. Your mom was probably ecstatic having all the grandchildren in her home at 1x. It all came out great Becky! You should be proud of yourself.
