Well technically, 2nd one time thing. She did this video for gourmet confetti cake before.

To everyone who's not familiar with the background:

Bon Appetit is a Conde Nast Magazine

Its Youtube Channel used to have a video series where Claire Saffitz made gourmet versions of commercially available food products: Gourmet Makes.

The series is responsible for a lot of Bon Appetit's most popular videos, accounting for half of the current top twenty most viewed videos on the Bon Appetit channel.

However, when people found out Bon Appetit pays different rates for different talents, some people accused Bon Appetit of racism. (Why would BA pay someone who gets them 10 million views the same as someone who gets them sub 100k views though?).

People went through old tweets from BA's top editor and one of Conde Nast's VPs and found old chuddy tweets, so Bon Appetit got cancelled.

A lot of their talent cut ties as a result, with varying levels of success for those talents.

Claire Saffitz was one of the breakout stars of the channel so a lot of the BA audience followed her when she went solo.

She's had success in her cookbooks and youtube channel.

She's held back on making videos where she makes gourmet versions of commercially available food products so far in her post-BA youtube career.

Nobody's sure if she has done so because she doesn't want legal trouble for yoinking the IP or if she wants to pivot her identity away from the series to establish herself as a pastry chef and recipe developer.

However, the views of her most popular videos still pale in comparison to the views Gourmet Makes garnered. Her current most popular video has 4.4 million views, whereas the most popular Gourmet Makes video has 13 million views.

Her 10 latest videos before this video averages at around 250k views, with the oldest having a 4-month headstart and the newest having a 1-month headstart.

The current video has gotten more than that in just 1 day.

What do y'all dramanauts think?
