If you’re into baking and you haven’t heard of Ann Reardon from How to Cook That, you’ll definitely want to get to know her, especially if you have a tendency to mess up your baked goods. Ann runs her YouTube channel out of Sydney, Australia, and her focus is on making creative desserts, cakes, and chocolate.
One of the most entertaining series on How to Cook That is Ann’s Cake Rescue series. In these videos, she pulls up photos of her viewer’s cake fails, with issues like melted frosting and structural disintegration and, well, just plain ugliness. Ann recreates the cake fail on her own, explaining what most likely went wrong in the original baking process.
Then, Ann shows how you can make that cake fail into something beautiful, implementing all sorts of creative ideas to find a solution that you can do next time you find yourself in a cake fail situation.
So if you’re interested in how a professional pastry chef and cake decorator can turn cake disasters into show-stopping, party-ready beautiful cake creations, check out How to Cook That for episodes of Cake Rescue and other interesting baking videos.
