Three Australia-based cooking channels are among YouTube's biggest success stories.

CharlisCraftyKitchenHowToCookThat and MyCupcakeAddiction have made the top ten most popular food and cooking channels, according to estimates from Outrigger Media, an online video advertising company.

CharlisCraftyKitchen, the work of two young Australian sisters, Charli and Ashlee, tops the list, published on AdAge, with monthly estimated earnings from ad revenue of $127,777.21. HowToCookThat comes in fourth, at $77,772.86 per month, and mycupcakeaddiction is fifth, at $64,267.68 per month.

The three also outdid the channel of international cooking sensation, Jamie Oliver, who came in at a measly $32,261.48 per month.

CharlisCraftyKitchen, which began in 2012 when Charli was 6 years old and Ashlee was 3, has thousands of subscribers who tune in each week to watch the girls cook everything from Oreo monsters to edible rainbow bracelets.

Their most popular video, frozen jello tip popsicles, has more than 57 million views.

That's a lot of Frozen-inspired popsicles.
