- Hi guys.
Welcome to Barbie's mystery box challenge.
(upbeat music)
A Barbie Production.
Today's show is starring Jordan and Georgia.
Why don't you introduce yourselves?
- My name is Jordan.
I am seven years old and I have been cooking
for three years.
- My name is Georgia and I'm seven years old.
And I've been cooking for about five years.
- As usual, because you should always cook with the help
of an adult, our Executive Chef, Kim, is here too.
Do you guys want to know a secret?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I love cupcakes.
Today, you will be making extra special cupcakes
in a mug.
I call them mug cakes.
The best part is they can cook right in the microwave.
Do you think you can do that?
- I can do that. - Yes, I can.
- Okay, time to see what's in your mystery boxes.
(children cheering)
Okay, we have applesauce, lemonade and pretzels?
Pretty crazy cupcake ingredients, don't you think?
- Yeah, but why would we use pretzels in a cupcake?
- Isn't that weird?
- That's where your creativity comes in.
- I can probably try to make up a recipe
with these ingredients.
- I can do anything.
- I can't wait to see what you do with these ingredients.
When I say go, you will have 30 minutes
to make your best cupcake with these wacky ingredients.
Ready?
- Yes. - Yes.
- Set.
Go.
Georgia and Jordan only have 30 minutes
to create their dazzling mug cakes.
What will they make?
I can't wait to find out.
Hey Georgia, what kind of mug cake are you making?
- I'm making a strawberry mug cake
with buttercream frosting on top.
- Strawberries are my jam.
What are you whisking up?
- Right now, I'm whisking together my wet ingredients.
And then I'll put in strawberries.
- How about you, Jordan?
Tell me about your mug cake.
- I'm making a confetti mug cake.
- I always say, "Whoo-woo, it's like a party in a cupcake."
So, how are you putting the fun in your mug cake?
- I'm putting in the white chocolate chips.
And once I get this stirred, I'm gonna put in the sprinkles.
- The thing I love about mug cakes is you don't have
to bake a whole cake if you just want a little treat.
They bake much faster too.
So, Georgia, what's your plan for the pretzels?
- It was hard to get a place to fit the pretzels
in the recipe, so I ...
put it with the dry ingredients and I crunch them up.
- Here comes Jordan with his mug cakes.
He's ready to pop them in the microwave.
You know, baking is a lot like science.
And here's my friend Nikki to tell us all about it.
- Thanks Barbie.
Let's get into the science of cooking.
Inside the microwave, is a little transmitter,
which makes waves.
The microwaves.
The waves love water and make the water wiggle.
The water wiggles so much that it gets really hot.
So hot, it actually cooks the food.
- [Barbie] And those are some powerful ways
because these cakes only take about a minute to cook.
Remember to use microwave safe cookware
and never use tinfoil or anything metal in the microwave.
Our wiggle waves hate metal.
And if you're not sure if something is safe,
always ask an adult.
- Okay, let's get your cupcake out, okay?
- [Barbie] Once they are done, Chef Kim helps
Jordan and Georgia with the hot mugs and places them
in the freezer while they work on the frosting.
Jordan is starting on his.
So, what are you mixing together, Jordan?
- I put the butter in.
Now I'm putting the powdered sugar.
- Oh, so this is where you're using the lemonade?
- Yes.
- Georgia, looks like you're using a lot of butter.
- I put it in the frosting to make it a little more thick.
- Georgia is using a hand mixer
to do a technique called whipping.
Whipping is what makes icing fluffy.
The way this works is by putting a bunch of teeny,
tiny air bubbles in the butter, like a fluffy pink cloud.
- And remember, always have a grown up to help you
when using an electric appliance.
Jordan, Georgia, you have five minutes left.
Time to decorate those mug cakes.
I can't wait to see what they do.
Those colors look so beautiful.
60 seconds left.
Come on, you can do it.

Stop, times up. (buzzer dings)
Hands in the air.
Great job. (children cheering)
And now, it's tasting time.
Jordan, what did you call your creation?
- My cupcake is called "The Delicious Confetti Mug Cake."
- Delicious is right.
Time for you to try it.
- It's really good.
- Get a good bite there, Jordan.
Is it scrumptious?
Now, it's Georgia's turn.
What did you call your mug cake?
- "Sugar Shaboom."
- Georgia, you put the boom in shaboom.
Now, you try it.
- It's a lot of pink. - Mm-hmm.
- Looks what someone knew what my favorite color was.
Come on, Georgia, get in there.
- Mm. (nods in approval)
- Both of your cupcakes were amazing.
Jordan, your cake was like a party.
A party in a mug.
That's why I'm awarding you with the most creative award.
- Thank you, Barbie.
- Georgia, your cupcake made my taste buds dance for joy.
That's why I'm awarding you with best taste.
- Thank you.
- Great job, you two.
Now, I want to hear from you.
What would you make with today's ingredients?
Today we learned, if you could make a cake in a mug,
you can make any day a little sweeter.
So remember, you can be anything.
- Thank you, Barbie. - Thank you, Barbie.
- Goodbye.
