Happy Saturday Friend!! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you!! - Becky P.S. For the Corn Flake Cake - We used a bread knife to cut the cake and it cut perfectly :)
Oh Becky, you’ve no idea how much I needed to see you today. Thank you for being you and making me smile when things are not particularly joyful for me right now 🙏
The silicone cheese cake protector can be more than just one use. It could be used a a jello mold, since it can go in the oven it could be baked in, I'm sure other options are possible too. ❤ Enjoy your content.💐
Your silicone bowl could come in handy if you need to transport a glass or ceramic dish to a friend's house. It will protect the dish and stop it sliding around.
not so much overcooking in a waterbath; although 1 hour 40 minutes is a little excessive, but hey, I’m sure it came out delicious! The recipe did say to open the oven door.
Becky, just wow. Those desserts look like they belong in a magazine. You inspire me every single day. I have fallen in love with baking and cooking, and aspire to homestead like you, to feed my family with the best food I can. Thank you for your amazing videos. Not only do they inspire, but they are so well explained and informative. 10/10, every video! 💜
Just to add to the choir. I've made many different cheesecakes over the years, and early on, gave up the water baths with no deterioration in outcome. Maybe there is a very delicate type out there for which a water bath would be necessary, but I haven't found it thus far. 😊
I absolutely love that idea. For me the top usually gets ate as the baking tax lol Maybe with the leftover icing and/or ice cream when the cake is finished. :D
That is how I use the edges of the brownies than people prefer not to eat compared to the softer insides. The pudding and whipped cream softens them wonderfully!
I'm 100% wishing I could have some of each of those desserts. You are an angel on earth, Becky. May you continue to shine brightly and lift the spirits of those around you. God bless.
Hi Becky! As a cake decorator, I just had to comment on how good your cakes look! You've come a long way- they do look very professional!Definitely going to try your chocolate cheesecake recipe! Cake carriers or cake boxes make transport easier! Local craft stores or cake and candy supply shops) sell boxes by "each". If you get a cake cardboard at least 1/2" larger and a cake box of the same size, it's MUCH easier to transport, protects the whole cake from sliding into the side of the box, and looks more professional.- Just a tip in case you find yourself transporting many more of those decadent cakes!
Hi Becky, everything you made looks delicious. You are a great friend and anyone who has the privilege to be a part of your life is very lucky. Continue to be the outstanding person you are.
Hi Becky! I’m barely catching up on this week’s episodes but I had to comment on this video to tell how much I enjoy seeing your parents help with the potatoes. It takes a village! Family is everything ❤
I love how you just go with the flow by moving on to another solution. Those desserts look so yummy and professional! I don’t care what you say, you ARE a professional!
You are inspiring Becky, your garden and flowers are beautiful, you look at life in a beautiful way we can all learn from you to be positive and enjoy the little things that make us happy 😊
Morning Becky. I love the slippers. When you cook, you are so relaxed. I feel like I've pulled up a stool and am sitting opposite you. Thanks for being you.
These look absolutely amazing Becky! You outdid yourself, young lady you should be very proud of these 👩🍳❤️🥂 you must have a wonderful sense of accomplishment.
Awesome recipes! I am so glad you bought a 9” springform and the 8” cake pans. I encourage you to buy whatever equipment you are missing and will use. This is your job after all!
I went to Wilton enterprise’s and learned from Wesley Wilton to cake decorate. I had a very prosperous business after that. It was a fantastic experience. Your cake looks beautiful!!! My husband loved helping me deliver my wedding cakes!!! Great Job Becky!!!❤
hey Becky! to make the curls, start at the bottom of the chocolate edge and go up all the way the width to the end. just maybe d1 1/2 to 2 inches at a time(wide scraps). hope that makes sense
I absolutely love your videos! They inspire, challenge, and truly make me wish I were younger when I had more energy! I actually made 4 loaves of zucchini bread yesterday at the same time! I was brave because of watching you!😊😊😊
just a little tip from my Mom about room temp eggs, you can get warm water - not too hot - and warm them up in about 5 min if you forget to pull them out of the fridge.
This comment inspired me to use the leftover coffee from this morning and make a homemade chocolate cake! So thanks @acrehomestead & @karenzelwnske8816
This must be annual chocolate day - who knew? I watched your vlog as I made a chocolate hazelnut ice box cake today for a family get-together tomorrow. It is going to taste fantastic (I licked the beaters so I know) even if it doesn't set up enough for slicing. It is very decadent and very expensive but it will be a treat even if we have to pretend it is a trifle and eat it out of a bowl with a spoon. I normally avoid chocolate because it gives me headaches but I will take meds because I am determined to eat this particular dessert. Your friend is going to be blown away by your desserts.
The way you conquer your uncertainty when faced with new challenges is positively inspiring!! You are so much braver than I am! Your desserts turned out beautifully and looked soooo yummy.
Hey Becky, great recipes as always. I would suggest that if you’re trying to be more consistent in weighing your ingredients, you get better results when you don’t mix ounces, cups and grams in one recipe. Just stick to one unit of measurements. Best wishes from London, England.
Completely agree! After many years of baking using cups, I switched to grams and it's made such a difference. I also love that I don't have to dirty measuring cups/spoons with the scale method.
I loved all these recipes! A good trick if you’re not sure your pan is thick enough not to burn delicate recipes like caramel is to put a cast iron pan under your cooking pan. The cast iron helps disperse the heat more evenly.
I’m so proud of you, trying something new. I myself made caramel from scratch for the first time. It took four try’s, but I definitely learned something new.
Hi there! I’m a fan! Add parchment paper to the bottom of your cheesecake pan and lock the outside rim of the cheesecake! Cut the excess of the parchment by an inch from the edge of the cheesecake pan! The parchment paper will allow for an easy release from the cheesecake pan and the actual cheesecake! “A COMPLETE GAME CHANGER” AS YOU WOULD SAY!😊 Everything looked amazing and yummy!🙌🏾🤩
Becky...Those desserts look flipping AMAZING!!!!!!!! I am definitely going to try making these around the Holidays!!!! Can't wait to see how you liked them!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Oh my goodness those look so amazing! I had a friend when I was younger and her and her siblings threw their Mom an “everything chocolate” party when she celebrated 10 years’ remission from breast cancer. I always thought that was such a unique theme! And delicious! They had a chocolate fountain and all kinds of cakes and treats like what you have here. Thanks for sharing!
All three desserts turned out so well. They couldn’t look more beautiful if they came from a high end bakery! Please let us know how delicious they were.
I make my cheesecakes in advance so I can freeze them. I also baked with parchment in the pan. Once frozen you can take it right off the bottom of the springform pan then pull off the parchment and place on a beautiful serving dish and the. Top if needed. I make a German chocolate cheesecake at Christmas and this is how I do it before I make the coconut pecan frosting for the top. Mmmmmmmm! So yummy and pretty. The crust is the absolute best part. Chocolate grahams and sugar crust. Your desserts turned out beautiful!
Hello Becky! I just finished canning up some apple sauce and jellies, and am unwinding by watching you make these decadent chocolate desserts. Any one of these sounds scrumptious with a cup of coffee rn. Happy birthday to your friend!
Baking, unlike cooking, is an exact science and needs precise measurements, with the right measuring tools. It is actually chemistry. There is a difference in a dry cup verses a liquid cup. When a recipe calls for 1 cup of milk, you must not use a dry cup measurement. Most dry ingredients, like flour, powered sugar, and cocoa should be shifted before measured and leveled off. Dry ingredients compress as they set in their containers. It is also good to sift all your dry ingredients together. Spoon measurements should also be leveled off and measured with the correct spoons. You stated that your baking has become better since you have been using a scale. You might do an experiment of sifting and then measuring and leveling with the correct tool and then weighing it and see if you get the correct grams. Hope this helps!
As a European, I'm continually baffled by why Americans don't just weigh ingredients. Which makes all this fuss over measurement unnecessary. How much weight you get of an ingredient for a given volume is dependent upon the density of the ingredient (as Becky mentions). So @aquiltingmama is correct that wet and dry cups mean different weights. I think not ALL baking absolutely MUST be exact science, that if you want to be more sure success it's better to follow tested recipes. I don't think people should be scared. Just be prepared for some variation. But weighing is much easier to be precise as Becky herself often does.
@@denafreeborn424 It is not that intricate. It is what was taught in high school home economics, which was the standard in this country. My comment was meant to help, not discourage!
Just weigh and all will be well... No fluffing necessary. Flour no longer needs to be sifted as it is consistently unclumped these days. (Although I do still sift confectioner sugar almost always as it can still be clumpy.)
A liquid cup is no different than a dry cup. It is just easier to get an accurate measure due to the way water behaves with surface tension. A liquid measuring cup allows you to see the meniscus (the lowest point of the curve of water). In a dry measuring cup, the liquid can rise over the rim of the cup and, therefore, is a greater measurement. This is not always such a big deal in baking, but can lead to inconsistent results.
My mouth is watering…😊❤Your desserts look amazing and delicious 😋!!!! There are so many books and classes out there, but the best way to learn is the way you are doing it, experimenting, trial and error and according to your taste buds. It helps though to have the right tools. Keep up the good work!!❤🎉😊
Oh no! The best part is when you and Josh taste test and your beautiful eyes tell us how good it is. Question: was the caramel layers hard to cut thru? I would be afraid it might squish the tender layers of cake. Im not a huge chocolate dessert fan, but these are gorgeous!! Did little man like his cheesecake mini?
Becky, here is a cake layer leveling tip that I learned when I was a baker- to level the cake layers, slice off the dome of the layer (like you did) then turn the dome side around 180 degrees so that the dome is now on the opposite side of the layer and reassemble. No fuss and no waste.
I always put a plate on top of the cake layers while they are still in the pans cooling. No dome to cut off and you can cut your cake in half no problem!
Hey Becky! Greetings from Germany! I really really love watching your videos! When you pronounced "Kirsch" it was very good! I, as a native speaker didn't notice a mistake when you said it! ☺👍 What you did was a pretty modern interpretation of a "Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte" and had very little of a traditional one but it sure does look tasty and amazing like all your cakes did! I think I have to try this recipe the next opportunity I have!
My husband loved when I used to do a lot of cake baking, because he got to eat the pieces I trimmed to make the cake flat! All three desserts look fabulous Becky
Becky love your content and Love your videos as well . ❤have an amazing weekend ahead and as always I enjoy your videos and love seeing what you’re making next . ❤
I have always been impressed by how both you and your mother are able to pour the batter into two cake pans and get the same amount in each one! I seemed to get one bigger than the other all the time. Now I use my scale and find it a game changer for someone without your talent for even pouring.
Becky..I love watching you do all your cooking and baking. I made your Bagels today and for the first try they turned out very good. Thanks so much for all your wonderful videos.
Becky. I have never been a baker (my grandma was an excellent baker), whereas I am better at cooking. However, after binging your videos, I thought heck Ill try to make the dinner rolls.. and they turned out FANTASTIC! soft, pillowy, and light and so easy. Thank you! We are going to enjoy them tonight as pot roast sliders, with swiss, garlic aioli, and caramelized onions.
Hi Becky. First: A+ pronunciation for "Kirsch".😊 My mum uses to cook cherryjam like this. Just in case she spontaniously wants to bake a Schwarzwälderkirschtorte, or something similar. The Kirsch adds an earthy, heavy note and banalces the sweetness perfect. And it's fabulous on a sandwich. 😉
To cut off the top of the cake you can also use toothpicks as a guide at the desired height and then wind a thin thread around the cake and pull it through. This is also helpful if you only bake one cake and you want to divide it into several layers.
My mother used to use the toothpicks but then a long bread knife worked well just using the toothpicks as a guide around the edges so the knife doesn't dip or rise by mistake.
An easy way to level your cake is to use your bread knife or unflavored dental floss before turning it out of the pan. I learned this from a friend who was a professional cake decorator. Those desserts look absolutely amazing!
You are such a sweet friend ,sister,inlaw,and daughter and of course wife and mom. You go out of your way to treat everyone very special. Keep up the good work you do. Love your videos sweetheart.
Catching on few of video's. By doctors orders to go home and take the day off. Just had knee surgery and wanted to be careful. I told him no problem. I have my favorite CZcams Becky Acre Homestead to watch. Have a great baking day.
1 of the best presents I bought myself is another mixing bowl for my kitchenaid so I have 1 while I am working, and another clean 1 for the next recipe
Happy Saturday Friend!! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead of you!! - Becky P.S. For the Corn Flake Cake - We used a bread knife to cut the cake and it cut perfectly :)
A video from you- always sweetens it- that’s for sure thx u!!!
Thank you ❤🌹. Hope you and yours has a wonderful weekend as well 😊
Oh Becky, you’ve no idea how much I needed to see you today. Thank you for being you and making me smile when things are not particularly joyful for me right now 🙏
Becky How did your friend like the desserts?
The silicone cheese cake protector can be more than just one use. It could be used a a jello mold, since it can go in the oven it could be baked in, I'm sure other options are possible too. ❤ Enjoy your content.💐
Your silicone bowl could come in handy if you need to transport a glass or ceramic dish to a friend's house. It will protect the dish and stop it sliding around.
When letting a cheesecake cool in the oven, make sure to crack the oven, don’t leave it closed. It will overcook!
Thank You for that tip because I'm wanting to do a pumpkin cheesecake and had never made cheesecake before.
its interestng because in an older video she did open the oven lol
not so much overcooking in a waterbath; although 1 hour 40 minutes is a little excessive, but hey, I’m sure it came out delicious! The recipe did say to open the oven door.
The flowers are so stunning!! With the over the top desserts and lovely bouquet your friend will be very blessed!
Girl, you WHIPPED IT REAL GOOD! 😂 Your friend is a lucky to have you & those delicious looking desserts.
Now I have that song going through my head rent free all night! 😅
Becky, just wow. Those desserts look like they belong in a magazine. You inspire me every single day. I have fallen in love with baking and cooking, and aspire to homestead like you, to feed my family with the best food I can. Thank you for your amazing videos. Not only do they inspire, but they are so well explained and informative. 10/10, every video! 💜
No need for water bath. I'm a pastry chef
300 for 1 hour turn oven off let sit in over 1 hour.comes out prefect.😊
Yes, I never use water anymore.
I never use water either. Works just as well without and a lot less work.
Just to add to the choir. I've made many different cheesecakes over the years, and early on, gave up the water baths with no deterioration in outcome. Maybe there is a very delicate type out there for which a water bath would be necessary, but I haven't found it thus far. 😊
I save all of my cake trimmings in the freezer and when I have enough I make a trifle with whipped cream and broken up chocolate bars
I absolutely love that idea. For me the top usually gets ate as the baking tax lol
Maybe with the leftover icing and/or ice cream when the cake is finished. :D
@@BeaLily I also eat the leftovers or the trimmings! Lol
I've heard other bakers use it to make cake pops!
You can also
Combine
The cake
Trimmings with frosting and make
Truffles. Roll into balls and dip in chocolate
That is how I use the edges of the brownies than people prefer not to eat compared to the softer insides. The pudding and whipped cream softens them wonderfully!
They all look delicious! I can't wait to try them.
I'm 100% wishing I could have some of each of those desserts. You are an angel on earth, Becky. May you continue to shine brightly and lift the spirits of those around you. God bless.

Sorry you aren’t feeling well! I hope you are back at 100% soon!
Sending hugs 🤗
Thank you all ❤
Hope you are feeling better.
@@AliseL22❤
Becky those are some very professional looking cakes. I knew you could bake, and bake well, but my jaw is still on the floor. Well done!
Beautiful work!!!
I love when you use your scale. Not only is there fewer dishes to wash, but it’s the only accurate way to measure.
These deserts look fabulous 😍
Hi Becky! I’m barely catching up on this week’s episodes but I had to comment on this video to tell how much I enjoy seeing your parents help with the potatoes. It takes a village! Family is everything ❤
Becky, you are simply the sweetest person. Thank you is for sharing your joy and your day. 😊
My mouth is salivating! I'm in agony here wanting to sink my teeth in all 3 of those magnificent recreations!
I love how you just go with the flow by moving on to another solution. Those desserts look so yummy and professional! I don’t care what you say, you ARE a professional!
For a less expensive alternative, wrap your pan in a crock pot liner before wrapping in foil. No more wet crusts.
My goodness Becky you have my head spinning all three of those desserts are beautiful especially the one with the caramel cornflakes discs! 😊
Loved the cake. But how did it cut into slices as the caramel discs are so hard?
You are inspiring Becky, your garden and flowers are beautiful, you look at life in a beautiful way we can all learn from you to be positive and enjoy the little things that make us happy 😊
Use a spoon to make chocolate curls. The bend in the spoon helps form the curls.
Hi Becky, I'm so proud of you. Congratulations on your continuing journey of baking. You're doing great.
Morning Becky. I love the slippers. When you cook, you are so relaxed. I feel like I've pulled up a stool and am sitting opposite you. Thanks for being you.

Great Job Becky!!!❤
I see the cherry compote over some ice cream…YUM!!
You pronounced Kirsch correctly! It's also a great add to cheese fondue. 😋
Really? Because especially the i-sound isn't really how it's supposed to sound in German.
If your mouth is not watering 😅😮 everything is so beautiful!!! 🎉🎉 Happy Birthday to your Bestie ! 🎉🎉 She is very blessed to have you as a friend!🎉
I need u to be my friend, I also need to be alone with that cake 😂 thank u Becky ❤
hey Becky! to make the curls, start at the bottom of the chocolate edge and go up all the way the width to the end. just maybe d1 1/2 to 2 inches at a time(wide scraps). hope that makes sense
They all look delish. Some photos of a piece of each at the end would be very helpful 🦋
I absolutely love your videos! They inspire, challenge, and truly make me wish I were younger when I had more energy! I actually made 4 loaves of zucchini bread yesterday at the same time! I was brave because of watching you!😊😊😊
Leveling your cakes gives you a quick snack lol
just a little tip from my Mom about room temp eggs, you can get warm water - not too hot - and warm them up in about 5 min if you forget to pull them out of the fridge.
The caramel seized like that because the cream wasn’t added all at once, you added a little bit, then stirred, then added more.
You did a beautiful job Becky! Your friend will love them!
Oh man! These all were totally worth your efforts! What a beautiful assortment of yumminess!!!🤤🤤🤤
Thanks Becky, your content brings such JOY! ❤
My mama always used leftover coffee for the liquid when she made chocolate icing/frosting. So that's what I've always done.
This comment inspired me to use the leftover coffee from this morning and make a homemade chocolate cake! So thanks @acrehomestead & @karenzelwnske8816
I always add coffee to my chocolate cakes. It makes them so good.
My husband said “only make chocolate cake like this now” 🥰🤷🏼♀️
You are doing an excellent job, Baking is chemistry, while cooking is inspiration, imagination, experience, and creativity!
Happy Saturday everyone 😀
It’s always high praise when someone asks you to cook for them. All of the desserts you chose look delicious.
Absolutely beautiful outcome on each one! Congratulations on your baking adventures.

Using a cookie scoop for the whipped cream is genius!

Hi Becky, instead of buying a turntable, you can use the turntable from inside your microwave, they work just the same!
Her's doesn't have one! I am always amazed by her microwave.
Hi Becky. First: A+ pronunciation for "Kirsch".😊 My mum uses to cook cherryjam like this. Just in case she spontaniously wants to bake a Schwarzwälderkirschtorte, or something similar. The Kirsch adds an earthy, heavy note and banalces the sweetness perfect. And it's fabulous on a sandwich. 😉
To cut off the top of the cake you can also use toothpicks as a guide at the desired height and then wind a thin thread around the cake and pull it through. This is also helpful if you only bake one cake and you want to divide it into several layers.
My mother used to use the toothpicks but then a long bread knife worked well just using the toothpicks as a guide around the edges so the knife doesn't dip or rise by mistake.
Those look fabulous. All I can say is WOW!
One look at the thumbnail of this video and it immediately got saved to the recipe playlist 😊
The vegetable peeler to make chocolate curls is absolutely genius, i'll be doing that from now on!
An easy way to level your cake is to use your bread knife or unflavored dental floss before turning it out of the pan. I learned this from a friend who was a professional cake decorator. Those desserts look absolutely amazing!
These chocolate desserts look so good and I had to thumbs up for the dogs who were eager to participate with mom in the kitchen🤣
Beautiful desserts! You are a good friend.
You are such a sweet friend ,sister,inlaw,and daughter and of course wife and mom. You go out of your way to treat everyone very special. Keep up the good work you do. Love your videos sweetheart.
Catching on few of video's. By doctors orders to go home and take the day off. Just had knee surgery and wanted to be careful. I told him no problem. I have my favorite CZcams Becky Acre Homestead to watch. Have a great baking day.
I would definitely go for that cheesecake! Anyone else get so proud of Becky when she sets her timer? 😅❤️
1 of the best presents I bought myself is another mixing bowl for my kitchenaid so I have 1 while I am working, and another clean 1 for the next recipe
Often times you can find them in thrift shops.
Just amazing Becky. All turned out beautiful🌺
