We're gonna make some cake pops!
So it's almost Valentine's Day!
Do you know Valentine's Day?
What is it?
And we are gonna make fun snacks.
What are we gonna make?
Do you remember?
We're gonna make some cake pops!
It's my first time.
It's Pudding's first time obviously.
It's supposed to be easy
and you don't need to cook anything
or bake anything
so that should be good!
Do you know what this is?
It's roll cake (swiss roll)
We're gonna use these roll cakes.
We're gonna put this in here and mix it.
Your favorite!
Mash it up!
I knew she would like this part.
Rather than baking your own cake
and mixing it with cream
you can just get a roll cake and mix it up.
This is gonna be the cake part of the cake pop.
We're gonna make balls like play-doh.
This is a nice color.
It's a very elegant pink.
Not too bright, not too vivid.
Not too artificial.
and then, this is gonna be tricky, babe.
Can you wait for mommy to come back?
I forgot to get a plate.
Can you talk to everybody while I'm gone?
Wow, you're very good!
This is the part that I know Pudding
is gonna enjoy the most.
I'm gonna put a little bit on your hand.
It's pretty gooey.
I think this one has quite a bit of cream.
but you can roll it like this.
Is it mushy?
I think we needed more sponge.
It's a little difficult if your roll cake has a lot of cream.
Gently. Don't smash. Gently.
If your roll cake has a lot of cream.
Take out some of the cream.
and make sure you have more sponge.
because it gets gooey.
I don't know if this is gonna work.
It might be too gooey.
Okay, come here. Let's go wash our hands.
We've got a bowl of hot water.
And we've got this bowl of white chocolate.
You have to put the bowl in here.
Not the chocolate, the whole bowl.
Yeah, take the whole bowl
Oh no, put it in here.
Okay, and it's gonna start to melt.
It's looking good!
Oh, look at that!
The chocolate has melted!
We're gonna take a little bit of chocolate
put it on the tip of our lollipop stick
Just a little bit. Oh, that's a lot.
and then, go like this.
I think the cake is too mushy
It's not gonna stand.
So we're gonna improvise.
Just watch mommy first, okay?
I think the cake is too heavy.
So this is not a cooking video, by the way guys
This is an experimental video.
This is like a science project.
What happens when you don't prepare.
and before the chocolate dries baby
can you put strawberry flakes on here?
Oh no, it's hardened already!
OMG, this is a disaster!
Oh, but it looks so pretty!
So selecting the right roll cake is key, huh.
Can I eat a little bit?
I thought any roll cake was gonna do
but you have to pick the right one.
You're taking advantage of me being preoccupied aren't you?
So the cake pops were a bit difficult
but that's why I have strawberries ready.
Do you wanna dip strawberries?
You have to put sticks on them.
And then, I think this will stand.
So this was the idea.
The chocolate is rock hard!
There goes the sticks!
Served no purpose whatsoever.
I wanna eat it!
Is that good? - It's good!
Not bad...but way too mushy.
Well, she likes it.
Are you sleepy now?
I'm (doing) yoga
You're doing yoga.
So that was our Valentine's Day experiment!
If they turn out, they'd be really really cute.
So I got these flower pots
with the sponges in them
so we could stick the cake pops
and make a little cake pop flower pot
This is the result of that!
But...we're gonna try it again!
We made cake pops yesterday.
but mommy messed up
so it turned out kind of mushy
and we got a roll cake with a lot less cream!
Alright, let's put this in the bowl.
and we're gonna mash the swiss roll.
Not mushy, yay!
Oh yeah, it's starting to look good.
It's getting crumbly.
Crumbly. Can you say crumbly?
Can I mix with this?
Yeah, you can!
Are you drooling?
And then we're gonna make balls!
It looks like scrambled eggs.
I'm gonna roll up your sleeves.
Oh, I think this is good today!
Is it getting on your hands?
Much better!
It looks like play-doh!
A very different texture than yesterday.
Yours is very small!
We'll make different sizes, whatever you want.
These are turning out good!
Alrighty!
This time, I've decided to put it in a more narrow
mason jar.
So it's easier to dip.
Careful!
Ooh, that's so cute!
OMG, the chocolate dries so fast!
High five! Yay!
Okay, let's do another one!
Okay, wait until the chocolate is done (dripping)
and slowly turn it upside down.
Oh, there you go!
Okay, next one!
You wanna do the little one?
Yeah, much easier to dip if you've got little balls.
I actually wanna try something.
I've got chocolate. Brown chocolate.
Okay, that didn't work.
You get what I'm trying to do.
She's into it.
You wanna do this one?
Drawing something!
Oh, thank you!
This hard?
Yeah, it's already hard.
It's definitely messy, it's not mess proof.
but it's fun
and Pudding is enjoying it quite a bit.
because you put them all in at onnce.
That's okay, we're learning.
Here we have this last one.
You can drizzle some chocolate.
Who cares if the table is messy.
No, it's done!
Yeah, look how beautiful they look!
You wanna eat one?
Okay, let me get it for you.
Here you go!
Oh, Daddy, gets one!
So this is what I was trying to do!
It's still not perfect,
but much better than yesterday!
They're standing!
I thought it'd be cute to put it in these planters
It's a cake pop flower plant!
Isn't it cute?
You can put ribbons on it.
kind of put something here to hide the green.
but you're eating them all!
Here, let me try this one.
Very moist!
But not mushy!
They're standing!
Mission accomplished!
So I hope you guys give it a shot!
It's a really really fun project.
I think Pudding enjoyed it a lot.
the dipping and the decorating.
and it's hard because like
she wants to do everything by herself right now
and I'm like "no, no, no"
and I'm trying not to get in her way.
You like the little ones, don't you?
Yeah, they tend to like the little ones.
They're a lot easier to eat.
So make the balls small.
is our advice to you!
And also use a roll cake that's not too moist
or has too much cream.
And then the dippinng!
Maybe a jar like this is a little easier
beucase you can get the chocolate in one dip.
Alright guys, thank you so much for watching!
If you enjoyed
our Valentine's day treat DIY
give us a big like!
and we will see you guys again soon!
Yeah, give us a big like for trying it again!
and making it work! ... sort of!
