- Hey guys, how's it going?
Guess who's in my kitchen right now?
- Yeah, I'm having some flashbacks
to the last time you asked me to collab
and I'm waiting for someone to catch on fire.
- Well, this is, oh that one.
(screaming)
Oh my god!
- [Man] Get on the ground!
- I was thinking the last time we made a baking video.
- Even longer ago.
- That was like three, four,
almost like three and a half years ago, I think.
We made Call of Duty ghosts cupcakes.
So, if you guys are Call of Duty fans,
then you know how long ago that was.
(cake splat)
(laughter)
Oh no!
Then on your channel we made Thanksgiving smoothies.
- Yeah, so that's what we're gonna be doing again.
It's like
- [Justine] Christmas smoothies?
- Christmas version, yeah.
- So basically we're going back
and recreating our last collabs that we did
which was three years ago.
- Cause we're so creative!
- We are very creative.
- Yeah!
- So today we are going to make some cupcakes,
and we are going to make these cupcakes
into a Christmas tree tower.
I've seen so many amazing things on Pinterest,
people are very talented.
- Yeah, I've always kinda wanted to do that.
- But first we have to make some cupcakes,
and here's the thing is I want to make a lot of cupcakes.
I have a lot of cake mix.
- Oh my!
- But here's the problem. I've had it all for so long.
- That a really cool baking cabinet.
- Thank you thank you.
- A secret, wow!
- I'm not even good at baking but the thing is
I've had all this cake stuff for so long
that it's all expired so anything that we make today,
don't eat it.
- What the heck? - I'm sorry!
- I feel like this is a rip off.
You asked me to come over to make cupcakes
that I can't even eat, so.
(laughter)
- Well, you don't want to.
It's not that expired.
- Yeah what does expired even mean?
It's just flour and sugar and maybe some egg.
- Well this one says August of this year,
and this one's actually January of 2018
so maybe if we mix these two together.
- They won't be as expired.
- So we're gonna be making some gluten free cupcakes today.
- Yum.
- Funfetti.
- Gorgeous.
- Thank you, this things heavy.
- I'm surprised you don't have a camo one.
- Well I have matte black one.
- That's not camo.
- It's not but maybe next time.
I don't think they make it,
I guess I could probably get it
like you know people get their cars wrapped.
- Right.
- I could bring my mixer into West Coast Customs.
Hey guys! Wrap it up.
Do you need a knife?
- No I'm good.
- You sure you don't need a knife?
- Yeah I'm sure.
- Okay I'll put this away.
- Actually maybe you could do it to the next one.
- Okay.
- I'm a little upset that we're using that
and not a blender.
I feel like you've changed since the last time we collabed.
(Justine gasps)
- Do you want to use the blender?
- This is an iJustine cooking video, so.
- You're right, wow.
- How dare you!
- I am so sorry I am so sorry.
- Rosana Pancino is shaking right now.
- Okay well now we've got a blender,
but I don't think we'll be able to fit two cakes in there.
- Says who? This isn't the Justine I know.
- You're right, oh my gosh!
- You're acting too professional.
- I've changed!
- You have. - Wait. Wait.
We do need to put the liquids in first.
- Oh, shoot, I'll just pour it in here for now.
- Yeah just put it in there.
- Why the liquids?
It'll get funky?
- I guess we can get rid of this.
- You've learned a lot.
- I've learned so much, oh god.
Joey it's been a while.
- I know.
- Hello.
- I don't know if I like this new Justine.
- I'm sorry, I've changed.
(mocking voice) We like the old Justine.
(eggs cracking)
- Oh! Get some protein of that shell in there.
- Yes yes yes.
Gosh I'm having a holly jolly Christmas already.
- Yes!
- We are not fitting two cakes in that.
- Did we preheat the oven?
- No!
- Oh goodness.
Did I turn it on right? - Yeah!
- Wahoo!
(liquid pouring)
- Good thing this is expired.
(liquid pouring)
- Ew, I dare you to drink that.
- Ew, gross, no, you drink it.
- Girl, you're gonna be eating it soon,
why not give it a little taste?
- No, we're not!
This is expired gluten free.
- This is kinda weird when you see it separated like this.
- Ugh.
- Oh, this is a futuristic one, it's touch screen.
- Oh!
(blender motor revving)
- Yeah, drink that.
So, how are we gonna fit this all in here.
No, Joey! - Turn it on low.
Turn it on low!
- It's gonna go everywhere!
- Just a little low.
It didn't go above, it didn't touch this.
(blender revving gently)
- I'm so nervous.
- Look it, this is how the pros do it.
And then they just mix it all in.
Look at this!
- Honestly, Ro feels a tingle.
She feels like a poke,
she's like something terrible is happening.
- It's getting real thick.
- Yeah let me, oh my gosh, I can't believe this worked.
- You didn't think it would fit two cakes.
- I didn't think it would, actually, at all.
So let's put this back on. - Turn it up!
- We're gonna turn it up!
Yeah we need to jam it.
Okay, pause.
- Oh!
- Oh wow this is really thick, yeah don't eat it.
Expired. Expired.
This does feel very runny or not runny enough.
- Thickum.
- Super thick.
- I'm just gonna add a little more water.
- Yeah just a little.
(blender revvs intensely)
- Ah!
(Justine laughs)
- Why is it?
- This is gonna catch on fire.
- Yeah, something's gonna happen.
Let's see, let's maybe, ugh.
(Joey laughing)
I'm not sure, oh my god.
- This is what we're dealing with, everyone.
- Yeah, that's something.
- I think this looks good, actually.
- Maybe cause it's gluten free it's a different consistency
than most normal cakes.
- Could be.
- I can't believe we fit two cakes in there,
I'm actually very surprised.
- Okay, let's have a race.
First one to line it wins.
- You already started, I haven't even opened up my thing!
- That's called cheating.
(Justine laughing)
- Okay thank you, oh gosh.
Yes, so watch this, this is so cool.
- I'm so excited.
When'd you get this little contraption?
- A while ago.
Wow, that's real thick.
Weird consistency.
- I don't really know what the consistency
is supposed to be, so.
- Usually a little bit more liquid, but this is okay.
But yeah look at this.
(Joey gasping)
- Oh wow! - Isn't this great?
- It's a nice little poop.
- It is like a poop!
So fill these about three fourths.
- Sure.
- Yeah, this is real thick.
Here we go!
- In they go.
- Wow, they look great.
- Let's work on this frosting now.
- Yeah.
- Do you have some green food dye?
- Oh, you better believe it.
Do you think this is gonna be a bad idea?
- Oh girl, that's too thin.
We need to go in with the heavy duty.
- Yeah but look, I gotta get in real good.
- You're gonna put it in there it's not even gonna move.
- You think?
- Try it.
- Okay.
- It's a thickum.
- Oh god.
(Joey woops)
No no no wait!
Oh my god!
(both laughing)
Yeah this is definitely gonna break.
It's struggling.
It's in struggle city.
- I don't think it's working.
- I think it is, look.
- Give it another spin.
- Oh my god! No!
(both laughing)
- There we go.
- Oh my gosh.
- This is gonna be real good for your insides.
- If you eat this you're gonna be pooping black,
I promise you.
- Black? It's green.
- Yeah, but
- Food dye turns black on the inside?
- Oh, yes.
- She knows from experience.
- She knows.
Holy crap.
- Wee!
- That is so much.
- This is fun.
- True, we can't eat this anyway, it's expired.
(mixer buzzing)
Alright, well that's a look if I've ever seen one.
I think our icing looks pretty good.
- Yeah, I mean it's not as dark as I would have liked,
but you know what?
We're not gonna be judgy of our Christmas tree.
This vision in my head of just going like this.
(Justine gasping)
- Ah!
- That'd be so funny, wouldn't it?
- It would be hilarious, it'd be great.
- Yeah, let's do it.
- Should we do maybe you can get a little new highlights
in your new do here?
- Yeah!
Okay do you have an oven mitt?
- We don't need those, this is movie magic!
Voila!
- Wow you're so brave!
- I also premade these, so I'm just
- Adult trickery dickery dock.
- It's movie magic.
So it's a go with those!
I've also got.
We've got a lot of cupcakes.
- More expired cupcakes.
- These are all expired.
I was like this is perfect because
I don't know what else I'm gonna use these for.
I'm not sure what's gonna happen, really.
- Well, what do we have to frost with,
do you have a little spatula?
- Yes sir.
- Fabulous.
- Got a big one.
- Wow, I don't know if we need these
(metal clanking)
- Let me go get some decorations let's see what we've got.
(smacking)
(Justine screaming)
Ow, I just got a butt slap.
- It's a nice little paddle.
- Oh, that's a nice ice.
- This is our tree base?
- Yeah.
- It gets skinnier towards the top, though.
- True.
Do you have anything on your Christmas list this year?
- I can tell you what's not on my list,
the iPhone X.
- It's the iPhone 10, Joey.
(both screaming)
- It's the iPhone gods.
- That's what you get, you demon.
- Can't talk bad about Apple inside this house.
- I think this is gonna be something that people can make.
It can become a fun family tradition
that you make a Christmas tree cake.
Hi Jen.
- [Jen] Wow!
- Hello genitalia.
- [Jen] I like your hair.
- Thank you.
- I was gonna say, I didn't do anything to mine.
- [Joey] Well, she's about to go green.
- Your hair?
- [Joey] Yeah.
- You should stick her head in that bucket.
- That's exactly what he tried to do.
- That's what I was thinking.
- It's coming along nicely,
let me know when you need a taste tester.
- Yeah, lets, we do need one.
- How do you feel about death?
- [Jen] Good!
- Cool.
- This is looking real good.
- This is looking good.
I'm gonna start making it sort of angle up a little ways.
- It already kind of is, right?
- Yeah but you know
more like a this.
Have you guys decorated everything already?
- Yes.
- I figured.
Basically, like a pile of cupcakes.
- Oh, woops!
- Okay wait, I've got something for that.
- What?
- We need supports.
- Yeah, just dig em in there.
- Yeah, there we go, it's like a real tree.
Could you take my Apple watch off,
Nick, for me please?
Thank you. Cause I'm gonna get messy.
Thank you.
Looks great.
Oh no!
- What is happening?
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know, I don't know.
- Where did we go wrong?
- Geez, I don't know.
Oh no!
- We'll make it look cute after.
- I think you're right,
because you don't paint a house first
and then put it together.
You put the house together first and then you paint it.
- You know, I just moved to using my fingers.
- I watch a lot of HGTV and I've learned a lot, obviously.
Do you have a favorite Christmas song?
- Have a holly jolly Christmas!
- That's my favorite!
(singing) Have a holly jolly Christmas.
- She's been holding it in this whole video.
- It's the best time of the year.
- This is honestly what just plays
in her head all year round.
- Oh I don't know if they'll be snow.
- If you ever wonder what goes on in her head, it's that.
- Don't think about it, cause I'm concerned about myself.
It's looking pretty good,
I think it's honestly probably one of the best things
we've ever done.
I mean, we haven't collabed in three years
and this is what we decide to do.
- Great to be back.
- Although, wait, I guess Escape the Night
was a huge collab.
- That's true.
- Oh no, no!
Oh no! It's okay, we can just put this back up here.
Careful you don't stab yourself with these
cause it's very sharp.
(sprinkles tapping)
- Oh, it already looks so much better.
- It really does.
- Fun!
- Look at all those sprinkles!
This looks good.
I'm gonna get these..
- Wow!
- That looks incredible,
I mean this is something that you would see
on The Food Network.
- Food Network is shaking, they're canceled.
- Yeah, they are shaking in their boots.
- This looks good, actually.
The sprinkles made it look real cute.
- They're shaking in their stockings.
Look at this, we've also got some nice festive candles.
- What are the candles for?
- I don't know, it says that they have colorful flames.
- Oh, since I handled your singing
can you just burn it open.
- That stinks.
- Thank you. Perfect.
- Flicker flicker flame.
(Joey exhales)
- And now it's opened, exposed!
- I love magic, and fire and knives.
- Woo! Ew, these are ugly.
- I know, they look like..
- They're like saggy.
Hey, Justine, why'd you do this to us?
- They're so gross.
- Take me out my misery please.
Ow! We were joking!
Oh, fun.
- Mmhmm.
- Oh, we'll have her at the top,
she's holding them in place.
- Okay. Should I put all of candles on there maybe?
Cause we've got more.
- These are our angels. Holding the flames.
- Yes, of love.
God, I wish I had a torch.
Everything sucks without one.
- Oh, some of them are on fire!
- This is a big flame.
That's a very big flame.
- I can't even see it.
- Really? Cause I freaking see it.
You don't see it?
- Feel like we need, oh there we go, I see it now.
Gorgeousness.
- Mm.
- Here, you can see it better, oh wow!
Look at it go! Wahoo!
- You think Santa would be really excited about,
oh, we are making a s'more.
I think we're making a bit of a s'more happening here.
- Wahoo!
- I mean, this is the perfect tree topper,
I think everyone should do this for their Christmas tree.
- It's getting bigger.
- It is getting bigger.
- Feel like she needs to get a little closer too.
- Yeah, here.
(bells chiming)
What's that sound? What is that sound?
Is that an angel from above?
- It's Santa Claus.
- [Man] Is that me?
- I think that's my Pixel.
- Double bubble toil and trouble.
- Hi, yeah, we have an emergency.
We've got a fire.
So now what do we do.
- It's still going.
She's just living her truth.
- So do we blow the candle star out?
(both exhaling)
- Wahoo!
- Wow, that's..
- That's gonna set an alarm off.
- That is, wow, okay.
Oh, wow, we're gonna put that out.
Put that fire out.
- Only you can prevent kitchen fires.
- Hold on a minute!
(vent whirring)
- Wildfire cause it's a tree!
- It is!
Well guys this is our very merry Christmas tree
that we made out of cupcakes.
I'm not sure how I feel.
- I feel accomplished.
- You know I just wish that we could eat it.
- Yeah, maybe we could add one to my video,
cause we're doing the smoothie challenge, so.
- We are, so I'm gonna save one of these for Joey's video.
Make sure you guys go check out Joey,
I'll put a link in the description.
Where we are doing a smoothie Christmas challenge.
- Uh huh!
- And guess what? One of us will have to eat this.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Joey, this was so great!
lets not wait another three years to do a collab.
- I know, let's bake more, cause clearly we create awesome.
- Bye!
- Oh ho the misteltoe.
(festive music)
- Oh boy, Jenna, we might need your help, cause I'm..
- Oh no!
- Oh god.
- [Jen] Oh no.
- This is gonna stab through here. Oh no.
- Oh gosh, oh wow.
- There we go.
- Alright.
- There's really not much on the floor, nice.
- Ready?
Maybe we don't save one of these for your video,
or do we.
- We should.
- That looks good, we'll save that.

Alright.
- Perfect.
- Wow, lovely. Okay.
