- Happy Monday cowards.
(laughing)
- Wherever you are right now, it's not Monday.
- It's not gonna be Monday.
- Not gonna be Monday.
It will be Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday.
(upbeat music)
Wow.
- You know what time it is.
Easy Bake Oven time.
We were originally, just a little behind the scenes
of our ideation process.
- BTS.
- We were originally gonna do a beauty roulette,
and then we said no, we're tired.
- This oven has two settings, on or off.
Same.
(laughing) When I get off camera I will be like,
"I'm getting a (bleep) burrito."
Other people have done this.
- Oh yeah.
- Everyone has done this.
- On the internet.
- You're gonna be like, "But this person has done it."
Yeah you're right.
- Shakespeare probably did this.
- Yeah.
Apparently the Easy Bake Oven has been through
several different safety iterations.
It used to be like toaster oven,
where you could just put stuff in,
but children just love putting anything in anything.
So like they'll just be like, "My hands!"
So apparently they had to make it so kids
couldn't stick their hands in there.
And I tried before we turned this on.
- She definitely tested it out.
As soon as we walked in she's like,
"By the way, I tried to put my hand in there
"and you can't do it."
- I know you can't get my little hand, no no no.
- My mom had these random toys that she was just against.
Razor scooters.
The Easy Bake Oven my mom was very much against.
- Really?
- She did not want me to have one,
she did not want me to play with one.
She was just like, "Do not go near an Easy Bake Oven."
Well guess what, Mom, I'm doing it today.
As a 30 year old woman.
- So we got a whole bunch of these little packets of food.
- Ooh, you have sweet and savory choices.
- The back of them all say produced with
genetic engineering.
- Oh man.
I feel good about giving this to children.
- We are the children.
We also have these pretzels.
- I think we should do that because there's some
technique involved in making the pretzel.
It's a savory--
- Savory dish.
- Dish.
Just like myself.
- Do we think the oven is actually capable
of cooking things in 10 to 20 minutes?
- I mean we just got the oven,
and we haven't broken it yet.
So I'm gonna say the first time yes,
and then the second time we're probably gonna
mess it up somehow.
- Shall we start cooking this?
- Sure.
- So it comes basically with like the instructions,
and then like 50 powders.
- Wow.
- We will turn this into cake.
- We're gonna need the Easy Bake Oven, check.
Pan tool and baking pan. What if we get it stuck in there?
I hope we don't do that. Cooking spray, do we have that?
- Oh we need cooking spray?
- Yeah. Oh well.
- Whatever.
- Measuring spoons, mixing bowls.
Check check.
Spoon, spatula, check.
Butter knife, sure.
Kitchen timer.
We've got phones.
Wax paper and plastic mat, which why do you need that?
- Maybe it's to put the stuff on afterwards.
- Oh yeah, well we can just put it on the table.
We're gonna start our franchise
with the red velvet cake.
First things first we have to make
the red velvet cake batter.
So we pour one red velvet cake mix
and four teaspoons of water into a bowl,
and then we break up the lumps.
That's all we need, just four teaspoons?
- I mean it's not a big cake.
This is the red velvet cake mix.
- Mmm.
- Made with genetic engineering.
- Looks like brown sugar.
- It does.
- Already I can smell the chocolate.
- Good.
At least we can smell something that reminds us of food.
- Oh it's already turning red!
Wow, I dunno if this is gonna be enough water.
- Does it say four teaspoons or tablespoons?
- Teaspoons.
- We need more water.
I can't get rid of the lumps 'cause a lot of it's still dry.
- So did you have one of these as a kid?
- Hell no.
First of all I was not interested in cooking.
Second of all, I was interested in
injuring myself accidentally.
All right, I see what's happening here.
So we'll just do that and that and that
and you need to get off my little spatula.
- Get off!
- My spatula. Oh my god, this is a mess.
- This is probably non stick, right?
We don't really need the cooking spray, right?
- We're gonna burn this (bleep) cake.
- I think that looks pretty smooth.
Now what do we do?
- Step one, step...
- Oh, that was the first step, I'm already exhausted.
- That was the first step.
Spoon the batter into the baking pan.
Spread evenly.
Tip: If batter's too thick,
add a few extra drops of water and stir.
It's like you're painting but it's not going well.
- The thing is, I'm good at cooking,
I do not bake because baking requires science,
and I don't do that.
- We're trying to.
We're not messing this up on purpose.
- No, this is me really trying my hardest.
- You're eating it.
- Yeah.
- Is it good?
- You know that legal drug, sugar, that they give to kids.
- That legal drug.
- There's a lot of that in there.
Time to bake.
I don't know how we're gonna get it out though.
Probably should have discussed that
before we put it in there.
- Yeah.
So then at the end I'm gonna push it back out the other way.
- This way.
So it goes in this hole, comes out this hole.
- Theoretically.
Or it doesn't come out ever again, and the video's over.
(laughing)
- [Devin] She's cooking!
- She's cooking, okay.
Mix the other batter while we're waiting.
- Okay that's a great idea.
- Mix the strawberry cake batter.
God they just really wanna make this
as hard as possible, don't they?
Some dad being like, "If I buy this,
"will I get my Saturday back?"
- We're experiencing first hand how challenging this is,
so that daddy can take a nap.
- This smells like strawberry.
- Chemically engineered strawberry.
- Yeah this smells like the robot walked into a lab
and was like, "Strawberry."
- How many more minutes do we have to wait?
10 more minutes? - So many minutes!
God.
- Okay what else can we make in the meantime?
Okay we also make the frosting too.
I appreciate that everything just kinda comes in a packet.
- So easy a kid could do it.
- Stop mixing it, it's done.
- I have to do something with my hands!
- Devin, she's dead!
I hate that with batter,
it's just kinda like leave me alone.
Especially batter I don't wanna eat,
'cause I don't think this batter's probably good.
- I'll be the judge of that. - Okay.
- It's like strawberry lip smackers.
- I thought you were making a joke,
but that literally is exactly what it tastes like.
Why are we making pink frosting?
How many frostings go on this thing?
- I really chose the hardest thing for us to make, didn't I?
- Yeah why did you do that?
- Because the picture was so pretty.
This is still not icing.
It's what I would like to call powder.
You know what this one smells like,
my mom's SlimFast in the 90s.
- This isn't gonna cook, so I'm curious if it
actually already tastes good.
- I really wish you could see.
- Not bad. - I kinda wanna see it.
- You can't.
- Ooh, sorry. - You can't see it, Devin.
Not yet, you impatient (bleep) punk.
- I wanna see it now!
- Timer went off. So now we have to try and get it out.
So the moment of truth.
Will this video still continue?
- Also, I realize we don't have any like
something to grab it with.
I'm gonna catch it with the blanket.
Yeah it's coming, you gotta keep pushing.
Oh (bleep) it got stuck.
- Maybe you have to get it this way.
- Oh, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
- Does it work?
No.
(laughing)
- No actually that did work.
- Oh, we did it!
The video's not over!
Is it done?
- It's 100% not done.
- It's not done?
Guess you're going back in, we gotta do that all over again.
- Bye.
This is essentially toasting this batter.
- Yeah, I mean what I'm worried about
is that the cook time is not accurate.
- Kids like it though when it's a little bit chewy
and like undercooked.
- I thought you were gonna say kids like it
when cook times aren't accurate.
- Data has shown that kids love it when you lie to them.
(ding)
- Oh!
It's a cake!
- [Devin] It's a cake!
- I think you're supposed to keep it in the cooling chamber,
but I don't know what that is, so.
How is it?
Oh no!
- Oh no. (laughing)
- Half the cake came out,
and the other half is still in the pan.
- We didn't need cooking spray, look at this.
- After we pressed her together.
- [Devin] Here she is.
- Here's the bottom layer of our cake.
Don't mind that, that's just extra feature.
It's a lot of work for a cake that's
basically like a lunch dessert.
There's such little batter here
that basically I'm just lining the pan with batter.
Push it in.
And she's done.
- 16 minutes.
- [Kristin] It's like you're frosting a very small pizza.
- I thought I would have enough frosting
to cover up the imperfection of this cake.
- How?
How is there like these tall, fluffy, beautiful cakes?
This is the bottom half of our cake so far.
For scale, this is my hand.
I'm holding this in my hand.
This is like probably the size of
a six inch Subway sandwich.
- We're moving on to our next menu item, which is.
- [Both] Pretzels!
- We're gonna work on the pretzels
while the second half of this cake is cooking.
So you're just gonna go live over here, okay bye (bleep).
20 minutes?
Oh that's for preheating.
- You're like I give up.
- I give up, I quit.
- I don't know how I feel about egg wash being powder first.
- Ooh, it's yellow.
Two tablespoons.
(bleep)
- Okay, that's the biggen.
- Yeah 'cause you don't want the egg mix to be like dough.
You want it to be like wash.
Look at this pretzel dough.
- [Devin] Ooh, it's flaky.
Why is it flaky?
- I don't know, 'cause there's probably
not enough (bleep) water in it.
This video's gonna be so bleeped out.
- I know.
- Sorry.
- This is our dirtiest video.
I say that we put more water.
- This needs more water.
This doesn't work.
It looks like my skin after a sunburn,
except not this color.
More than that, more than that.
Maybe too much.
- There's no pleasing you, Kristin.
(ding)
Oh yeah, see it came out clean.
We're good.
- [Kristin] This one, to our credit,
looks slightly better than the other one.
- Yeah she rose a little bit more.
- Wow this is not very much dough, by the way.
I wanna delegate this to you,
'cause I don't want to.
- I love squeezing and rolling things up into a ball.
- Yeah, I mean you say that now,
but you haven't touched it yet, so.
- Oh yeah, it is rather sticky, huh?
- You wanna make twists?
- We're making a (bleep) twist.
I'm just putting a little flour pretzel mix in my hand.
Oh god I immediately regret this.
(laughing)
- Is that all of it?
- Yeah.
- Here's the thing is that there's so little of it
that like basically it's like what do we--
- We put too much water in it.
I know this for a fact now.
You did not just take some off of the table
and put more on my hand when I'm trying to
free myself from this devil's paste.
Devin Dough Hands McGee.
- I kinda forgot we were trying to get it off her hands
and so she got a little bit of it off
so I scooped it back up and put it back on her hand.
Are we just gonna stick your hands in the oven?
What are we gonna cook?
So, what we've learned is nothing, but.
- On the flip side, we're having fun.
Here, why don't I palm some of that
and maybe some of that mixture will take
some of this off my hands.
- Hold on, let me get my hair out of this.
- That makes...
- Now there's just more dough on your hands.
- Why?
Okay the pretzels were an awful choice.
Whose idea was it to make the pretzels?
- I mean all of it was my idea
except for the Easy Bake Oven part.
So really, 50/50.
I'm going to add cake two to cake one.
Oh (bleep) it just all came off.
Here she is with the second layer.
- [Devin] Okay now you have to put
the frosting on top of it.
- What I'm learning is you should not
make the frosting so far in advance,
'cause it does not spread very well.
- Oh my God.
I think what this video has taught us is that
we should definitely not open a restaurant together.
- We shouldn't open anything together.
We should barely open a door together.
We have one last step and that's the sprinkles.
- Decorate our child.
Oh yes, beautiful.
- Yes, hotty.
There she is.
Miss Cake America.
Before, and after.
- She needs a chance to cool down.
Meanwhile, our little ball baby over here.
- Is it doing better?
- Is doing much better.
- You're supposed to split into six.
- No, we're making one giant pretzel.
- So we put it on the pan,
then we put the egg wash on the pan. And then we bake it.
- This is our son, Gerald.
- Gerald.
- Gerald, the pretzel.
- [Kristin] This is what it looks like on the pan.
- Aw.
Then we put the salt on top.
This is what's actually gonna give him the flavoring.
- [Kristin] So this is what he looks like
before he went in the oven.
- In he goes, bye.
I'm ready to set him free.
- Okay, all right, you're going in the oven.
How long is he, oh shoot.
Devin, Devin, he's too fat.
He won't clear the top of the oven.
No, it's not gonna work.
You're gonna have to make two pretzels.
- I'm not doing that. - Okay we'll see this time.
All right, all right.
He's still too fat.
Like literally if it's above this pan it won't go in.
- All right, press him down.
Just press him down. - Just press him down.
- Yay!
Devin is so over this video.
- My hands are sticky.
(ding)
Take him out!
- Okay, time to take out Mr Pretzel.
- [Devin] There he is.
- There he is.
This is more done.
- There's a nacho cheese sauce, but I'm not making it.
- I can mix the cheese with water,
while we're waiting for it to cool.
It's taste test time.
We've got one sweet, we've got one savory.
Cheers. - [Devin] Cheers.
Oh I dropped it in the nacho cheese.
- Leave her, she's done.
It's not bad.
- It tastes like Play-Doh.
- [Devin] It tastes like sugary Play-Doh.
- The bottom layer is like really, really hard,
and the soft layer is like still a little undercooked.
- I'm not mad at it though. - You're still eating it?
- The bottom layer is the best layer,
'cause it is burnt.
- And by burnt we mean cooked.
So what do you think?
- I give this, in the Easy Bake Oven score, C+,
because C's get degrees.
- I was gonna say C-.
It's not great.
- But she passed.
- Ready to eat this pretzel?
It was in the oven for like 50% more time
than it needed to be, and it's still not cooked.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
I think I like the pretzel better than I like the cake.
- The pretzel does not taste like a pretzel.
- It tastes like a pizza crust.
- This is definitely a C-.
- Oh yeah.
We should go try to give our goodies
to the rest of Ladylike right now.
- Oh yeah, actually we should do that.
- Just think, this used to be sand a couple of minutes ago.
And now it's tasty bakery treats.
- That we're gonna enfoist our friends.
- [Devin] I see that you ladies are eating real food.
- [Kristin] How about you try some of our food?
- Yeah!
I was hoping that you would have extras.
- [Devin] Oh yeah, she's excited.
- Is this a custard?
- No, it's a cheese sauce.
So what do we think of our treats?
- Strawberry!
- Yeah!
- Yeah, like your dress.
- [Chantel] What is this?
- [Kristin] It's a pretzel.
- [Devin] Wait, can't you not see it's a pretzel?
- [Kristin] You don't know what it is?
- Everything looks like a cross between
a cookie and a cake.
They taste good, don't know how to classify them.
- I love how Fred is just sneaking off to the side,
she doesn't wanna try any of our food.
- Maybe for dessert.
- So the pretzel was good.
The cake is just, there's so much frosting to cake ratio.
But then again, here's the thing.
I'm no longer seven, and so I'm kind of
not the best person to judge.
- What it is, is fine.
- You sure you don't wanna try, Fred?
- [Fred] Uh-huh.
- [Devin] Fred is literally running away.
(laughing)
Fred, I heard you want some dessert, so uh,
I'lljust leave this right here for you,
right next to where you are.
- Hi.
- What did we learn today?
- Well, we learned that our friends
are very polite, is what we learned.
- They're very nice to us.
- Very nice people.
It's food for kids, it comes from powders.
What are you really expecting?
However, it was fun to make it.
I laughed a lot during the making of the food.
It really is about the journey.
- What do you wanna see us do with this easy butt...
- What do you wanna see us do with an easy butt oven next?
- Tell us in the comments.
- My easy (bleep) oven.
Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum.
- [Both] Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum.
Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum.
