Sweets make your eats just a
little more exciting, right?
Well, we are meeting a local Baker and
native of San Antonio who's helping us
make one of her signature number cakes.
Welcome, Samantha Villareal.
Your years of culinary experience inspired
you to start Sweet Cheeks Bake ,
which literally she's opening
a brick and mortar tomorrow.
I'm so excited for you.
Yes, we're so excited.
We've been baking for about 10 years.
Our brick and mortar grand openg
is tomorrow from 3:00 to 7:00.
Got to go out there and check it out.
But what inspires you to make?
Because I feel like baking is
different also from regular coog
or anything that's really artis.
Like, baking has to be the right sugar,
the right everything, right?
True.
You know, I don't know why I
chose baking for that reason,
but I love being creative, decorating.
I've always really been into ar,
arts and crafts and this was,
I love eating, I love food.
So it was a combination like me,
but without all that expert experience.
So these are like so popular.
I feel the numbers people's birthdays,
you can do like 22 or whatever it be,
100 or anything really.
Today we're putting the five in
Ken's 5 for great day essay.
So what is the first step?
I mean, you baked it, you had to cut it.
Yes. So we cut it and then we layer it.
We put a nice little layer of ig
in between and then once we're y
to decorate, we'll use the same.
Piping tips and bags.
So go, let's see.
I'm gonna want to do and then I'm gonna try.
I'll do the outline and I'll
let you do the Philly.
So you just do a firm press
on the bag and what kind of
like this is pretty cool.
We've
had a lot of bakers on the show.
But this is a seems
like a very proper Baker's bag.
Yeah, it's a tipless bag.
I love them for decorating cookies, cakes.
They come in all sizes.
They are perfect. And then you n
throw it away when you're done.
You don't have to keep them
and wash them and all that.
And could you use a different
tip for a different texture?
Yes, Different texture, different style.
OK, I'm gonna give it a try.
OK. I'm gonna help you.
Or you're gonna say, this one is what?
This one is my favorite.
It just looks like a sunflower to me.
There you go.
Like, Just pushed a little bit .
Give it a little bit more.
Yeah.
Manual.
Always a challenge for me
but it does look pretty.
I don't know if I'm. I feel like
I'm doing too pointy at the top
but still. But they'll look good
once we put the flower. The colr
is so pretty. I feel like you
measured this. Perfect. It's lie
then we have an extra bag of icing too.
Oh, she she came prepared
for the Great 5 Great Five. That's a good.
That's a good name for for the station.
Great 5. Ken's 5. Great Day Cake
And then am I still going here?
You can go as long as I see.
You could see a little bit the
difference difference, but I me,
this is your first time.
This is not bad, so we'll swap it out. OK.
But this one just in the little dirty barn?
That's pretty cool.
Look at that guy. I'm telling y,
I don't know why I'm attracted to this bag.
It just seems like easy to use.
Pretty nifty.
Then we're just gonna go in andl
in all of the spots, the empty spots.
You do it faster than me.
So that looks so cute.
What flavor is this Cake?
This is a vanilla cake.
Vanilla butter cream. Oh, my go.
It looks delicious. Perfect.
Hey, what's next?
One more.
And then we're just gonna top with sprinkles.
So I like using the larger
ones to make a statement.
So you, like, literally place tm
properly. Oh, no. You can you cn
can I, like, do this? No, no, n.
OK, See? I told you. OK, see me?
I'd be like, let's pour it on t.
You can kind of like.
Like, like, little sprinkle, sprinkle.
Oh my, this is look how and
you can eat these pearls.
Yes, the pearls are edible.
Everything is edible. So cute.
Well, you definitely surprised me this
morning because look to my left, guys.
That is my face on a cookie.
That is so weird. Like,
I know I'm on TV and I people will be like,
I know you and I'm like, how, h?
And I'm like, Oh yeah, I'm on TV, right?
But now I'm on a cookie.
It's kind of weird, but also low key.
Really cool.
And it makes me excited.
I'm going to give one to
my boyfriend and tell him.
I'm your Barbie right here on a cookie.
Very cute.
And you're also adding flowers to this cake.
So we're going to add flowers
once once you're happy with the
amount of sprinkles you have.
I mean, girl, I would go a little more crazy,
but I want to see the flowers on there.
OK, go right ahead.
We can just we dip in chocolate.
So that way the
stem isn't in chocolate. That is so clever.
Kind of just place wherever
you think it looks best.
This is so beautiful. So tomorrw
