If I could hug you right now, I would. I was so close to having a meltdown on the kitchen floor because an aunt wanted me to bake her 3 roll cakes before Christmas and I just tossed my fourth cake into the garbage because they went miserably wrong. I opened my laptop to take a break and voila! It's like you just picked me off the kitchen floor and dusted me off...lol.
I. Have. Been. THERE. Baking can make or break you. Not sure if this can help you but switching from measuring to weighing has changed my baking game. Hang in there!
@@PrettyBoyKii Thanks. This video finally helped. I’m actually from Colorado but I’m baking in Kansas so altitude was the issue for me. Since this version does not have a rising agent, it worked. I was also trying with a flourless recipe and it was turning out to be pasty.
@@PrettyBoyKii - I agree about the weighing… I haven’t tried it but the theory makes sense.. what about measuring the eggs by weight…. How to get that as close to possible especially when it’s entire egg vs whites or yolk??
Would it be possible to do an episode on different types of flour? Where you use each type, techniques appropriate for them, how they affect the final results? I love all these episodes!!❤️
Erin is a baking legend. My actual baking idol. Thank you for these MASTERCLASS level, in-depth breakdowns of the subject, and the heart you put into them!!
Roll cakes are such showstoppers and so rewarding - but so scary to set up for sure! Thank you for going through all the steps, this was super helpful!
Happy holidays, Erin! I would love to see an episode about all the French creams that you can make for filling and topping desserts. Like chantilly, patissiere, mousseline, diplomat...it would be great to see your tips and tricks for how to make them turn out right!
Erin's mastery of technique and knowledge is impressive enough, but when you add her teaching ability, it's extraordinary. I have bought both of her books, made her pumpkin sugar pie 3 times since November, and have been telling everyone I know who bakes and who doesn't about her. Please keep her videos coming!
I love how you are a teacher first and a baker after that. So many people demonstrate their knowledge you impart it. I really enjoy watching you- thank you for doing what you do so well🤗🤗🤗🤗
If you are not a teacher , you should be. I just found you a couple of days ago and I can't get enough !!! I love the clarity and thoroughness of your instructions, along with the humor and non intimidating air of the entire videos. I love to bake and this is the best I have ever seen. Thank you Erin Enjoying all I have watched !!!1
Erin, I really enjoy your Bake it up a notch videos. They manage to be very informative and entertaining which is difficult to achieve! Thank you you for sharing your knowledge.
Roulades are tha first thing I'd ever baked, I had jus started watching The Great British Baking Show, they did Roulades in tha first episode of tha first season. I don't know why but I was inspired.& had ta try it, it was so much fun.& came out so much better than I'd expected that I kept baking.& making deserts, then that brought me ta bread.& pastries. It's been 3-4 years since.& I don't plan on stopping🙆🏻♂️
So glad I watched this video “first” before making my very first roll cake. Great video teaching proper baking techniques on how to make a rolled cake which gave me the confidence to bake my first one for Thanksgiving. Excellent instructions from a top pastry chef and easy to follow and learn making baking fun.
I just started watching the videos and I love her . She teaches so well , kindly explains and give all the tips . I feel like I am ready to bake after watching . Thank you Erin
I don't bake but I watched this episode until the end. I love how easy you are to understand and how thorough you are. I appreciate the disaster examples, the first time I've seen anyone offer that so thank you. Will keep watching your channel.
I made the Blueberry Cream Roulade today just exactly as the recipe is written using our homemade jam. What a revelation! the instructions were easy to follow (both the video, which I found very helpful, and the recipe at FOOD52. I've never made a roulade before but mine came out perfect and my husband said it was the best cake he has ever eaten (he had two pieces). The recipe is a winner and so is Erin. I'm looking forward to trying different flavors of jam. Thanks, Erin.
Love your tidiness in the kitchen! Very clean and organized and very professional! With hair up and apron, you mean business on what you do! Good baking!
I have learned more about the chemistry of baking and technical tips from Erin than from any TV cooking show or cookbook or RUclips video. She also is such a pleasure to watch. She is so down to earth and charming and spontaneous and funny!!!
My first time ever coming across a Erin video, and as a fellow pastry chef, I judge others pretty harshly..... But I loved this video, and her. All her facts and tips were absolutely correct, and her personality is an absolute delight. Subscribed.
I came across this channel a few days ago and I'm so glad I did.. Erin & Anna Olson is my favorite bakers and in my opinion the 2 best bakers. Both bakers explain in detail and make everything sound so easy..
I have a really poor attention span to almost everything but I can watch Erin from start to finish non stop. She's such a great teacher and I actually applied some of her baking tips, which all turned out great. Thank you so much, Erin!
What a delightful episode, roll cakes are a favourite in our house, in the uk, these type of roll cakes were often referred to as a “Swiss roll” not sure why. They often contain jam or jam and butter cream. Now with changing times they have also be renamed roulade. Lovely episode again, clear concise and informative. Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the UK.
I absolutely love your informative videos. You make baking so much fun. Thank you sooo much for all of the tips and I love your energetic teaching style. 😊
I’m so glad I stumbled across Erin’s series a couple months ago. Her joy has lifted me back up during some trying times and has rekindled my love of baking. I’ve already learned so much from her and have refined a couple things that were never quite turning out exactly right. Thank you, Erin!!!!
Love ALL of her episodes! I used your pie crust for Thanksgiving. First pie dough I have ever made and seriously people asked me what I did to make it so delish and flaky. I almost said old family recipe but ultimately shared your site!!
Folding in biscuit dough is the zen garden of baking. So peaceful. ♥️ My favourite is a lemon roulade, with a simple whipped cream lemon filling and powdered sugar on top.
The videos by Erin are informative, entertaining and enjoyable. I'll even watch videos I have no intention of making, mostly for the tips, for just in case. They also come in handy for things I intend to bake. Thank you Erin, and Food 52
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this video. I have wanted to try the roulade/jelly roll/roll cake situation for awhile. I was intimidated, but this video helped me so much. When I got married someone gave me the stand mixer with the extra bowl. I have used the stand mixer a zillion times but this is the first time I utilized the second bowl. I have been married 18 years by the way!! I also am happy to report that I achieved peak peakage LOL
Awesome episode. In 1984 I made my first Roulade, filled with lemon sorbet and served frozen. Have loved them ever since. Christmas isn’t Christmas without a Yule Log cake.
I think this is one of the most incredible desserts and thank you Erin for such fantastic instructions. The regional/transnational iterations are equally delicious to explore, but a solid foundation of understanding the chemistry of sponginess is absolumont
Thank you for your detailed instructions for the patterned Swiss roll , very helpful . I’m glad I’ve seen how to do the vertical cake I’ve always wondered how it was done ! I’ll have a go 😊
Oh man. Just when December seemed a bit much, there is another one of these brilliant tutorials. Such a great teacher, and the enthusiasm is infectious. I always feel so much more confident in the kitchen. Thank you to everyone involved in putting these together.
I loooooove your energy, passion and how complete your episodes are!! Definitely you make all the process of making cake or pie or anything look sooooo much easier and confident. Love it 💕✨
Greetings from Cyprus! Your tutorials are so educational and fun to watch. You bring so much cheer into your creations that it makes everything less intimidating despite all the hiccups that might occur... Thank you very much Erin!
I LOVED your presentation on Roulades or Yule Logs. I have never baked one before, but after watching you - your warm and encouraging way - I am excited to try one. Thank you! I can’t wait to watch your older shows. Thank you! Barb G
This was sooooooo fun to watch. And thank you for cutting and showing us how it looks. So satisfyinggggg. Also I need to add. I tried your ultimate chocolate cake for my sister-in-law's birthday and EVERYONE LOVED IT. It's the best cake I've ever had hands down home-made or like gourmet store bought. Sooooo good. Thanks for putting excellent content and sharing excellent recipes with us!!
Watching this while eating a gingerbread swiss roll with a french vanilla cream for my Christmas Yule log. Used my own recipe and turned out great! Thank you for the cake rolling technique tips.
Erin, you are my first RUclips subscription. I'm happy to have stumbled upon your video. I'm an accomplished baker, but new to roulades. Thanks for sharing.
My grandma used to make jelly rolls all the time with just jelly and powdered sugar on top it was simple but always a delicious summer treat. The light sponge with the fruit jelly is so nostalgic to me.
You know you're going to have a kickass Friday when Erin shows up on your feed.
I love to listen to Erin. I want a Netflix show with her ❤️
or a podcast!!!
Yesssss that will be great
If I could hug you right now, I would. I was so close to having a meltdown on the kitchen floor because an aunt wanted me to bake her 3 roll cakes before Christmas and I just tossed my fourth cake into the garbage because they went miserably wrong. I opened my laptop to take a break and voila! It's like you just picked me off the kitchen floor and dusted me off...lol.
You should send your aunt this link, along with a sifter and some cake flour!
I. Have. Been. THERE. Baking can make or break you. Not sure if this can help you but switching from measuring to weighing has changed my baking game. Hang in there!

40 plus minutes of Erin let's gooooooooooo
Erin makes me feel like I can bake/do anything. You just amaze with with your skills and knowledge (and science also gets me excited too).
Erin gives me strong Sookie energy and im here for it
she IS sookie
Yesss she is! Hello fellow GG fan!
✌️😭✌️
Hadn't thought of that, but yes! Love her
Lol, thought you meant Sookie Stackhouse and I was like, whaaat?
I've fallen in love with Erin after watching this video - she's so, so knowledgable, and so thorough. Very impressive!
Erin is such a joy to watch while teaching me something new each time. Hope to continue seeing her.
Would it be possible to do an episode on different types of flour? Where you use each type, techniques appropriate for them, how they affect the final results?
I love all these episodes!!❤️
OMG! You’re the Baking Queen!
I can never get enough of your wisdom, energy and talent!
I wish I could be your student one day! 😱😱😱
Erin is a baking legend. My actual baking idol. Thank you for these MASTERCLASS level, in-depth breakdowns of the subject, and the heart you put into them!!

Another fantastic Erin McDowell video, you do such a great job explaining your process and logic in an approachable way. Please keep these coming!
Yes, and she is so peppy and encouraging.
Oh, how I love the episodes of 'Baking up an notch' Best teacher for Baking😊
I can't count the amount of times I have rewatched all of Erin's videos. She is a wonderful teacher.

Happy holidays, Erin! I would love to see an episode about all the French creams that you can make for filling and topping desserts. Like chantilly, patissiere, mousseline, diplomat...it would be great to see your tips and tricks for how to make them turn out right!
I totally agree! I would love to see an episode on this!! Some of those are very tricky and Erin has a way of explaining things so clearly.
