Hello everybody, welcome back to my channel
as you can see, I am joined with one of my favourite people in the entire world
Mark Ferris!
Hello!
It's been ages innit?
It's been so long!
So as you may have seen yesterday on my social media channels
I went red to show my support for Red Nose Day 2017
Comic Relief organises two major fundraising events on alternate years
The first one is Sport Relief and the second is Red Nose Day
So far, both of these campaigns have raised over one billion pounds
Woah
Yeah that is crazy
Since last Red Nose Day we have helped over two million vulnerable children and young people across some of the poorest communities
So every little thing you guys can do to help fundraise for this amazing charity
is incredible
We are going to show you how to make some super delicious Easter inspired cupcakes
that you can get baking with your friends, with your family
for your co-workers and fundraise and earn a little bit of money!
And these are cupcakes you can make all year round!
Oh hell yeah!
We've got our Red Nose Day inspired aprons
Ohh! Thank you!
Which this year, I'm really excited about, because there's like a pug on, on there
which makes me so incredibly happy!
Oh this is cute!
Isn't it!
First thing we gotta do is find a... chocolate cupcake recipe
which I did not do before this video
Mary Berry chocolate cupcakes
You can't go wrong with a bit of Mary Berry...
Mary Bezza
First thing you're gonna need to do is measure out...
40 grams of cocoa powder, but we're doubling this recipe because we're both making cupcakes
So we need 80...
So we need 80
Keep it going
Perfect!
Woah!
Next thing we need to do
is add 8 tablespoons
of boiling water to this
This is so weird
four
Never question Mary Berry
Never! Sorry Mary, for ever questioning ya
I've lost number
Six...
This is like a massive bourbon biscuit
Oh it smells so good!
Did I say bourbon?
Bourbon yeah
What is it, bourbon?
I'm also gonna lie my cupcake cases
I went for red spotty ones for Red Nose Day
It's not really a paste is it?
More like a...
Do you think we should just add a drop more?
Yeah
Just a tiny bit
That ain't la- that ain't.. pasty is it?
What was it supposed to be?
A paste
(spoon scratches against bowl)
Oh this is like a big dump
Oh, this is going into a paste
You sure?
Yeah
I'll bring one over just in case
Just in paste
♫ Right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round ♫
It says- it says add the remaining cake ingredients but I ain't gonna fit much else in this
We need to-
So we need to pop this into...
(spoon scratches against bowl)
Oh my god that scraping has given me like instant goosebumps
So we need...
six eggs
wow
Ok, so we've got.. one
Yeah
Two
Yeah
Four
350 grams of butter
I'm making a tower, that'll do
Ughh
Shark bait, ooh ha ha
What's that from?
Shark bait, ooh ha ha
Shark bait, oohah
So 330
Oh. My. God. Mary
It's cause I've doubled the ingredients
Oh yeah
Self-raising flour
We need 115x2 which is what?
230
Correct
Thank you
So 230 grams of that, in we go
2 teaspons of baking powder
..two
Perfect
This is honestly the most satisfying thing I've ever seen
Really?
Just seeing all the mixtures mixing together
♫ I like to mix it mix it, I like to.. mix it! ♫
Oh yes, this is looking good guys
You sounded like a tv children- children's tv presenter
Yeah, I kinda wanna be a tv presenter
Go on then
Here we go guys, one more wisk, just for good luck
Take off!
Woohoo!
It's a good job we've good these aprons on Mark!
What's that love?
I said, "it's a good job we've got these aprons on!"
I think we're mixed
Just get that little-
Oh you're playing with fire
You do that and it just falls off
Watch it- AAAH *laughs* Zoe!
What happened? Oh it's on the sand
Zoe!
Sand?
Sugar!
I turned it the wrong way Mark
Look what you did!
Try it
Yeah
Oh no! *Marks laughs*
Eat it!
♫ I drive all night to keep her warm and time ♫
♫ is froooozen ♫
(Zoe laughs)
Your face!
Alright. (both laugh)
You're a bloody mess!
This smells...
... soo good.
Yeah it does. It looks even better I think
Cheers!
Cheers me dears!
Cheers guys!
These are now going into the oven at 200 degress Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes
or until you stick a knife or a cocktail stick through the middle and it comes out completely clean
and then quite springy to touch
So while they're in the oven, let's have a little game
Okay
Pass me your phone
(both laugh)
Ow!
(laughter) Jokes
Cupcakes are done and they're cooling on the side
what we have done in the meantime is
melted a bar of Cadbury's choc.
D'you know what we're going to be doing with this?
We're going to be adding this to that
Do you mind if I do it?
Oh go for it!
So I have this idea with these cupckakes that we can make mini nests
because I found these micro mini eggs
Look at them compared to the normal
They're tiny
So I though, d'you know what, on top of the cupckaes, why don't we make mini nests
They're one of my favourite things to make at Easter
Sooo let's do it!
So I figured if we add the shredded wheat to the melted chocolate
and then using these teeny tiny...
These are called confectionary cups but I think these are just mini cupcake cases for like truffles and things
Yeah, I was thinking that
And I bought these in Tiger in case any of you are interested
And I thought we could just make the tiny nests in these
and then pop them in the fridge to set
and then once we wanna put them on our cupcakes we can take them out of these
Right, now, get yourself some of these
And make your mini nests!
Woohoo!
What made you come up with this idea?
I dont know, I was just like, I love nests
and I love chocolate cupcakes, how can i combine the two?
I always see your cozy room as a little nest
Do you?
Yeah. I just see you like a nesty person
Like you would make a great bird
You're a top bird!
Did you just scoop that off of the spoon?
No
D'you know what we gotta do with them now?
Cool? Put them in the fridge
Yes!
So these go- you sure?
Yeah
Whilst our nests are cooling and our cupcakes are cooling it's time to make the icing
60 grams of butter which we're gonna double so we need 120 grams of butter
60 grams of cocoa powder
500 grams of icing sugar so that whole packet!
Are you joking!?
No!
Oh my goodness
Oh my god Zoe look at the cauldron
Oh my god!
6 tablespoons of whole milk
Dum-dum
This is semi-skimmed so I hope that doesn't matter
Oh, is it tablespoons or teaspoons?
Tablespoons, phew - how many did I do?
Three
I think.
Four.
Oh, that was five and a half.
I've lost count.
So have I.
That's it.
Going very careful, love, aren't you?
Go like this - *sucking in air*
You can taste it.
Can't you?
I just get-
Can't you?
I just get-
CAN'T YOU?
I GET SO HIGH ON LIFE WHEN I'M HERE!
(Zoe singing)
You make me wanna
Bake!
Put my hands up and
Bake
Throw my hands up and
Bake
Put my hands up and
Bake
Yeah-yeah
Oh-oh
Wah!
That shot me a sent down me arm!
What did you say?
What?
That splatted up!
Did it?
Oh no,
it might've been a dream.
I'm scared, Zoe!
It's fine, watch.
Oh my God
See?
You've done that before
I am the MASTER of the whisk!
Okay
Shall I bri- Oh, pardon me. Should I bring the cupcakes over?
Not yet. They're not fully cool yet, Mark, something you must learn.
We've got our cupcakes
Which nozzle would you like?
Um,
this one
Go for it
This just looks
incred
I'm almost ready to pipe!
I'm so excited!
Cheers? Cheers.
Okay, now you can either start from the outside and go in or
start from the middle and go out.
(music)
Look at me!
Check you out!
Then I see yours -
Put our little nests on
So you wanna try and take - oh. my. God!
Look!
Does it look good?
Yeaaaah!
(Mark's stomach rumbles)
Was that your tummy?
Yeah
High-five
Was that sweat or chocolate?
Chocolate sweat
Mark, look at our cupcakes
Thanks
I'm a vampire
Let me see
Oop
I can't wait to eat these
They look SO delicious
I think you've done an amazing job
Thank you!
(nasally voice) I think you've done an amazing job!
Make sure, if any of you decide to make these,
to tweet us and instagram us your photos
and make sure you're doing everything you can for Red Nose Day
and fundraising and spreading the word so that we can raise as much money as possible.
We also filmed a video over on Mark's channel where we did a little bit of a
friend Q and A
Yeah
Which was so funny!
Make sure you go on over to rednoseday.com/redout for lots more information
I will also leave a link to that in the description box
alongside the video we filmed with Mark and all his information, too.
And, we will see you very soon!
Happy Easter!
Bye!
