Start your ovens — it's getting to be the time of year that is all about baking. When the weather starts to turn chilly and the holiday decorations go up, the urge to fill your home with the aroma of freshly baked cookies and cakes arrives too. But we know it can be tricky to feel like you're nailing a recipe — baking is a science, after all.

That's where our baking expert Dan Langan comes in. You might know Dan from his classes on the Food Network Kitchen app or his series Dan Can Bake It! — he's been gracing us with his top-notch baking tips (and truly impressive cakes!) for years. And on Thursday October 15, 2020 at 12:30 EDT he'll be making his signature frosting recipe with QVC's Ali Carr on Facebook Live — set your reminder to tune in here! Ali's a baking novice and will be cooking along with Dan as he coaches her through the recipe — and he'll be there to answer questions from the audience too!
