Think generations have now graduated without home ec, and those parent(s) have to work ~3 jobs just to keep a roof over the kids’ head. Society is in a very sad place. 😭😭😭

That, and just about anything in the grocery store with the Betty Crocker name on it automatically meant quality to a lot of people.

I would imagine they were not paid what they deserved but groundbreaking at the same time.

In high school I signed myself out of calculus, and trigonometry and signed myself up for accounting classes, because I knew I needed to know how to properly balance a check book more than imaginary shapes in the sky and advanced mathematics I would never use. I also took all three levels of home ec classes because I knew I needed the basic home skills not algebra. This was in 1986 g 1987. I got a college degree in a arts line of study so...I didn't needed those advanced maths, I needed to balance my budget to pay for bills plus college expenses. I just wish schools today would realize that most students are not even wanting to go to college .. they want to learn woodworking so they could open and run their own cabinetry making companies Imo we need to recognize, as a society that while we do need doctors .

My grandmother had two daughters and would remove stitches and remake their dresses for school from the flour sacks. She said that during the struggle of the dust bowl people assumed they were still wealthy ranchers because the girls had so many nice dresses. They had two, one for Sunday one for school, both made from sewing and redesigning the same flour sacks. I can’t imagine, my sewing skills are hysterically comical.

Thanks to Betty crocker and other brands that have easily available cake mixes, I was able to grow up with having a handmade birthday cake every year by my mother, she would make the frosting by scratch and then use the cake mix box for the cake. And this inspired me to learn how to bake from scratch and continue cake decorating like my mom did and now I've made a career out of it. So this was a very interesting video to listen to because I wouldn't be who I am today had I not have cakes handmade for my birthday. I'm very interested to know about Marjorie and what she did after she left Betty crocker, I'm on a car trip so I may have misunderstood but I believe you said she made her own business after leaving Betty crocker.

Funny thing about the cake mixes: it's true that when they first came out, they only required you to add water. But housewives at the time complained that they were actually too easy to make and felt guilty that it was so low effort, so they changed it so that now it requires an egg as well. Lol

I still have my mother’s Betty Crocker Home Ec. book complete with love doodles of my father’s name. It’s three ring binder that is very worn. I love it.

Great story! I had home ec in high school, and really grateful I did. My 18 y/o daughter just told me the other day she wish they would offer not only home ec, but classes on taxes, voting, budgeting, basic car care and home repairs (basically early adult classes) in high school, make it mandatory. I agree, would be so helpful! My daughter and I love listening to you Bailey!!

My grandmother was a model. She got the part for Betty Crocker but the exec “expected favors for the opportunity.” She declined to perform those “favors” and lost the part.

That Jaclyn Hill & Morphe comparison had me DEAD 😂😂

The Depression Cake is also known as a Wacky Cake. When making the Wacky Cake if you remove 2 Tblsps of flour and add an additional 2 Tblsps of Cocoa (I use Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa) your cake will come out super moist and very dark chocolatey. My family has been making this cake recipe since the Great Depression. There was also a white cake recipe known as a lightening cake that has no flavoring in it yet comes out tasting fabulous. Both of these cakes can be made into layers , or Bundt cake.

I'm not sure if this is correct but it's what I found when searching: Ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup white sugar 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup water Directions: 1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2) Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into an 8x8-inch ungreased cake pan. Make 3 depressions in the flour mixture. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into second, and vanilla into third well. Pour water over all, then stir with a fork until well blended. 3) Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

Yes that's the recipe. When you sift your flour remove 2 Tablespoons. Then for your Cocoa I use Hershey Special Dark add 1 additional Tbls if making an 8x8 or 2 if you double to make a 13x9. I have made this cake even in the Backcountry wilderness in cast iron pans on a campfire but you need to adjust the recipe for altitude. It's a great recipe and my family has been making it for generations.

Baking expert/ consultant, now that’s a job I’d love! And vinegar works great on many recipes. Especially with baking soda it cause a reaction that give lift and helps with a fluffy recipe.

I remember when I found out that “making a cake from scratch” didn’t mean making it at home using Betty Crocker…it wasn’t that long ago either. Like when people asked me if I made my Betty Crocker cake from scratch I’d say “yeah, can’t buy this” bc I thought they were talking about the cake being already made when I bought it! Listen, I added egg, milk and butter or whatever, dirtied pans and mixed things together so that ish felt like real “baking from scratch” to me 😭

Bailey! Again, YOU are an incredible storyteller. From Killers to Betty all in the same original style. Your timing, dramatics, gestures, language - all of it - have all of the best elements of compelling storytelling -and you can capture the details that fascinate in your narrative. We appreciate it.

You should do a dear Abby episode! I’m not sure if there is a weird history about it but this made me think about it!

I took three years of Home Ec in High School mainly to get out of taking other stuff. I actually learned a lot. I graduated in the dark ages (1968) so it was just girls. I too have eaten frosting out of the can 😂Thanks for being so honest! I learn a lot from your videos!
