I was taken aback by how they spit on each other over the food they were making.However the first spitter….got her comeuppance didn’t she lol
"Well That guy sure was hard " ,,, LOL !!! am i the ONLY ONE who caught that ?? … ahem
Buenísimo 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋🇪🇨
Too DANGEROUS To Try!! Ice Cream, Cake Dome, Meringue & Fire!
Absolutely awesome video, perfect for newbie pastry chefs & anyone who loves desserts. I really like the explanations from the chef regarding why and how things are done! Thank you ATK! 🍰💛
For folks who aren't particularly fans of coffee ice cream, I think a salted caramel would probably go pretty nicely here.
How i wish !!!how to be you both!🤔🤔
You're so amazing!😚😚
9:10 that’s what she said.
I like my old hand crank ice cream maker. Metal canister freezes great! You just need ice, salt and a good arm to turn the crank!
Was the chiffon cake accidentally slightly overbaked? I noticed that it cracked as bridget rolled it around the ice cream.
The baked Alaska looks amazing!! Well done!
why is she explaining to the other woman? is the other a student? seems so fake and unnatural.
Boyyyy loook hair in those cakes being made there and cousin has this white people hair that falls out all over the place (sorry to offend best way I could say it if not correct me) so hmmmm enjoy that hair lol.
I need FIRE! Lite up that bad boy!
Thank you for a lovely video. Question please…how would you re-wrap and freeze your remaining Baked Alaska and how long will it keep? Thank you again!
Your show has been my favorite for years, love you ladies and all the others on this show. It is great and I am so happy I started watching You tube.. I still watch channel 2 in Boston too..
Using coffee ice cream ruined the dessert
Please have all of your cooks put their hair up. I grew up in the restaurant business and even when I cook alone at home….my hair is up. It is so disgusting to see hair hanging down. All I can think of, is hair in the food. Love to show though. Just, put that hair up Lisa. EW! 😕
I could go for a whole year of this.
9:10 "This guy's nice and hard".
I made this, it was amazing
"An Ice Cream Hedgehog" These two are the absolute knowledgeable, witty best
Hello
5:01 yay! i like dan souza from americas test kitchen
so cute how excited you guys got and hugged each other lol makes me think you guys would have loved being 5 years old playing with a play kitchen together
This recipe would also eliminate the sharp alcohol bite from the baked Alaska that's flambe at the table! Looks delicious!
I like dan souza on americas test kitchen
What was wrong with the kitchenaid attachment bowl? Speaking of, can you please do an attachment series? There are so many kitchenaid gadgets to add to the mixer, not to mention other companies that make attachments for kitchenaid stand mixers as well 🙏🏻🥰
can we put cornflour instead of cornsyrup?
Not a big fan of coffee ice cream. I'll probably use strawberry and go for a Neopolitan look.
I love how they blur the label. Like we can't tell.
I love this show, you rock ladies
Lynn's Paradise Cafe (now closed 😭) used to have the best Baked Alaska. It was ice cream, cake, and meringue. However, it also had a layer of fresh fruit. So, so good.
Thank you for BAKING the cake and not torching it! I gabe been trying to find a tutorial on baking it and have only found the torch version! I am SOOO goung to try this!
i love the show, glad i found it ..however..knowing all three components of the baked Alaska…i think the ratio of meringue to the rest of the components is a bit off.. way to much meringue in my humble opinion
I have a challenge for you both…please make a vegan version of this baked Alaska.😃
I'm not sure why my brain did this but I read this as how to bake a snow stopping Baked Alaska and I sat there for about 15 seconds trying to figure out exactly what that meant before I realized my mistake
How to make it for a diebate person
Just can't say it enough- enjoying the recipes, Science behind and these great people. Dan, Brigette and Julia. Please come to the Philippines! Try our Adobo!
hahahhahahah hechog. cake
When I was a very little boy I always wondered why there was no baked Hawaii. Nevertheless, I've never eaten baked Alaska, maybe I'll give it a go now.
