WATCH: Buddy Valastro Lays A Smackdown On Rachael Ray’s Baking Skills

Rachael Ray was very forward about her lack of baking prowess on her talk show today, which is why she brought in Cake Boss Buddy Valastro to help her demystify the red velvet cupcake. But Buddy didn’t go easy on Rachael by any means. He scolds her all the way from batter to frosting for rushing, failing to measure, and keeping a messy work station. And just when you think he bestows a compliment upon her piping skills, he initiates a frosting race, which Rach, of course, miserably loses.

For tips on how not to bake, watch Rachael in the clips below! (We do, however, appreciate Buddy’s nugget on using cold butter out the gate for frosting. Softening is a real bitch.)
