Ro: Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Ro: Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies! Today I have a special guest, my friend Jimmy.
Jimmy: Hey, it’s me, hello! Ro: You may recognize him from Video Game High School or
Ro: Feast of Fiction, we’ve actually baked together. Jimmy: Mmhmm, and this will be our
Jimmy: 2nd time baking together today, so I’m very excited!
Ro: Me too! So I’ll put a link down below from when we baked together. And today we’ll be
Ro: making very special, Video Game High School Season 3 cupcakes!
Jimmy: Ooooh! Ro: Yes! In honor of the new season, it’s out right now, it is really cool!
Jimmy: Aw, thanks. Ro: I’m super excited.
Ro: Alright are you ready? Jimmy: Yeah.
Both: Let’s get started!
Ro: Things you will need, will be: We have 2 recipes today, we have a blue velvet
Ro: cupcake recipe and a lemon recipe. If you have a favorite recipe for either of these,
Ro: use ‘em, I’m just using these because they are instant and yummy and fun!
Jimmy: And the right colors! Ro: Yeah, and they’re the right colors!
Ro: Then we’ve got a cupcake tray with these little paper liners, and you’ll need 2 mixing
Ro: bowls because we will be mixing up these recipes separate, so 2 mixing bowls.
Jimmy: Hahaha. Ro: Doooooooonnnnnngggggg! Jimmy: That was so loud!
Ro: You’ll also need. Jimmy: Uh, you’re gonna need 6 eggs total, 3 for each, 1/3 cup of
Jimmy: vegetable oil, a stick of butter, 2/3 cup of water and 1 cup of water.
Ro: Mmhmm, let’s put it all together!
Ro: The first thing you’re gonna do is we're gonna pour our cake mixtures into our big bowls.
Ro: Jimmy’s got the yellow cake, and I’ve got the blue. Jimmy: Woooo! In it goes!
Ro: Now I’m gonna be adding 2/3 cup of water to my mixture. Jimmy: And I’m adding a cup.
Ro: Mmhmm.
Ro: Then I’m gonna be adding 1 stick of butter to my recipe. Jimmy: And I get
Jimmy: 1/3 cup of vegetable oil. Brooomp!
Ro: Ok, this could get a little messy guys, I’m gonna be adding 3 to my recipe,
Ro: Jimmy is adding 3 to his. And we’re going to try to crack them all at the same time.
Ro: I would not suggest this, we’re just gonna try. Jimmy: Yeah I’m trying to think…
Ro: I’ve never done this. Jimmy: I’ve, I know you can. Ro: OK 1, 2, 3.
Jimmy: I got 2. Ro: I feel like I got… 2 and 1/2.
Jimmy: Now you’re just gonna mix up both of your batters, and then wash your hands.
Ro: Mmhmm. Jimmy: Or just wash your hands first I guess. Ro: Eggy 5! Jimmy: Ugh!
Ro: Once you’ve got your batters mixed up, we’re gonna scoop into the cupcake trays.
Ro: So I like to take a little tablespoon, there are fancier ways to do this, you probably
Ro: know a better way to do this. Jimmy: I just pour it from the bowl usually, haha!
Ro: Oh OK, I take about 2 tablespoons and I use my finger and I just go doop! 1 and 2.
Jimmy: Great, so once you’re done filling up your cupcakes with the batter, just preheat
Jimmy: your oven to 325 and bake for 18 minutes. Ro: Mmhmm, and while they’re baking
Ro: we’re gonna be making some decorations. Both: Oooooh!
Ro: Now we’re gonna decorate, I’ve printed off these 2 templates, I’ll put a link down
Ro: below so that if you’d like to use these you can, they’re just there if you need them.
Ro: And it says VGHS. Jimmy: Nice. Ro: In the little high school, doesn’t it look
Ro: like a high school font? Like letterman font? Jimmy: It is like a high school font, yeah.
Jimmy: And then, this is the school logo, the emblem with the different kinds of games you can
Jimmy: play in it too.
Ro: I’ve just taken a cookie sheet, you just need any flat surface and a piece of wax paper.
Ro: And you’re gonna put down this picture, and then you’re gonna tape it down, so it won’t move.
Ro: And now you’re gonna take cookie icing, I will put a link down below to the type that I am
Ro: using if you’re interested. We put them in plastic baggies with number 1 tips at the end,
Ro: so we’d have some more control. These are really fun to make, these little decorations.
Ro: You trace on top of the wax paper and then you let them dry at room temperature for
Ro: about 4 hours. So you actually might want to do this part first, but that’s ok!
Jimmy: Hahaha yep! Ro: In our spare time we can watch some Video Game High School or something.
Jimmy: Oh good idea!
Ro: So we’re gonna do the outline first. Jimmy: She’s so good at this. I got it guys.
Ro: That’s good, that’s good! Jimmy: Oh my mother would be so proud!
Ro: So, then I just take a little toothpick, because the cookie icing likes to round, so you can
Ro: use the toothpick to make pointy corners. Once you have the letters outlined, then
Ro: you’ll just take the dark blue and fill them in. You want to wait about 10 minutes for the
Ro: outline to dry and then just fill in. And then you’re gonna do the checkered print in blue
Ro: and then use the lighter blue for the other side of the checkered print.
Ro: Once your cupcakes are done baking and they’ve had plenty of time to cool, now we’re gonna
Ro: Decorate with some frosting. So in these big bags, it’s just vanilla buttercream frosting
Ro: that I’ve dyed blue with a little bit of food coloring. Do you want to sinp?
Jimmy: How, uh, how much should I snip off? Just like that? Ro: Just a little, yeah that’s good.
Jimmy: Less, more? Ro: Perfect! Then, you’re just gonna put a little bit of frosting on top of
Ro: your cupcake like this. Jimmy: Doo-do-do-doooo! Ro: Doo-do-do-dooo! I like to go all the
Ro: way around, make a circle and then work your way in. And then, we’re gonna dip them into some
Ro: sprinkles. Jimmy: Ooooh! Ro; We’ve got blue sprinkles and yellow and I’m having ‘em match.
Ro: Just dunk ‘em in there. Jimmy: Wow, that’s cool! Ro: Boom! Then you’re just gonna do that
Ro: to the rest of your cupcakes.
Ro: These look like pom-pons! Jimmy: Hahaha!
Ro: Give me a V - V! You got your V, you got your V.
Jimmy: Now that your cupcakes have been frosted and are sprinkled, we’re gonna decorate them.
Ro: Yes! We’ve got our little cookie icings that have dried, and now, this is the part you want
Ro: to be a little bit delicate. What I like to do is I bring the designs to the end
Ro: of the table, and then Jimmy do you have the knife? Jimmy: I do! Ro: Alright, line it
Ro: up with the table, and then just kind of scoop up, we’ll do 1 at a time. Just pick it
Ro: up, really gentile. And then you’re just gonna… Jimmy: Bahahaha! Ro: Throw it on there!
Jimmy: I got it! Ro: Boom! Just like that. And then we’re gonna transfer the rest of our designs.
Both: Ta-da!
Ro: Here are our Video Game High School themed cupcake. I hope you guys liked them, they were
Ro: so much fun to make. And, I just wanted to do a big thank you, again, to my friend Jimmy
