I'm gonna mess this up.
[Ro]
a star YouTuber out of their element...
Was it 1/4 cup?
[Ro]
and help them become...
-Oh, my gosh. -She's feeling the vibes.
[Ro]
I have made the perfect cream.
Ooh.
[Ro]
Hi, guys, it's Ro. Welcome back to my channel.
Today I'm hanging out with three very talented creators.
This is an epic collab with a dash of kitchen competition.
We've challenged each other to step out of our element
and try to copy what each of us does best.
[Lisette] I'm just, like, excited
to try something new and see what happens.
[Ro]
will be competing in gaming,
cooking, beauty, and dance.
But in the end, only one will win,
the creator who can best...
[all]
[Ro]
Preston's challenge was a mess...
I'm a ganache.
...while Sofie's challenge had us twisted up like a pretzel.
Finally, it's my turn to whip up some fun.
Sofie won gaming, and I won the dance challenge.
There are two challenges left before the finale.
So it's anyone's game.
Hey, everybody, it's Ro, and today I'm on
Today these wonderful creators are going to have to copy me.
Preston, you're great at gaming.
-Thank you. -[Ro] Lisette, you have got
makeup and artist skills.
And, Sofie, queen of movement and dance.
But today you're in my kitchen.
Oh, boy.
And we're going to be creating a delicious dessert.
Today I'm gonna be having the creators make a crepe cake.
You first need to make the crepe batter.
And then it is time to make some crepes.
And once you've made about 20 crepes,
it's time to stack and decorate.
And I'm looking for them to create a unicorn.
Okay, we're turning on the stove.
I'm putting it on a medium heat.
Now, crepe batter, you want it to be really silky and smooth.
I'm gonna mess this up.
You're gonna sift 2 and 1/4 cups of flour.
We're gonna do a pinch of salt,
6 tablespoons of sugar,
and whisk together 6 eggs.
You're gonna add your milk.
[Preston] That's the whole cow.
[Ro] We're gonna add a cup of water.
Now your melted butter.
We're gonna use an immersion blender.
-[gasps] -[Sofie] Wait, what?
I'm nervous for baking.
The most I've ever made is eggs
and Kraft mac and cheese.
So you just stick it in, submerge it, and hold down.
[Preston] Oh, it's working.
[Ro] I'm really trying not to get food on us
after that first day.
-Okay. -Thank you.
Don't give me that look.
I was gonna give Preston a one
purely because of his challenge.
[screaming]
I got food in places that don't belong,
you know what I mean?
And this is one of the most important tips--
you want the batter as smooth as possible.
I'm nervous.
[Ro] So, if you'd like a brighter color,
you add a little bit more.
Now, remember, you want to use 1/4 cup.
This is really important.
Swirl in the middle and then swirl with your wrist.
-Oh, my gosh. -[Ro] Boom.
This is really important.
I don't know how to do that.
You'll know when it's done.
You'll see that it will get a little crispy
just around the edges.
Give it a good flip.
I'm really bad at flipping. [chuckles]
With these nails, I mean, it's just not gonna work.
And then in a little piping bag,
we're just gonna pipe some buttercream icing
in between each layer, just gently give it a little spin.
Place the next crepe right on top.
Boop.
[Preston] Dude, there's so much that goes into this.
Now, to decorate the top of the cake,
do it however you'd like.
There's a ton of candy over there.
-Oh, yeah, all the sprinkles. -So good.
[Ro]
Just make sure it's a unicorn crepe cake.
-Boop. -Oh!
[Ro] Are you ready to copy that?
Bakers, I am going to be giving you points out of ten.
You will be judged on taste, presentation,
your creative designs that you come up with, and technique.
-Oh, no. -Okay.
-Oh, no. -[Ro] All right.
Are you ready for the advantages?
[all] Yes.
Okay, I got some in the oven.
Now, I'm gonna let you guys each choose one.
[Preston and Sofie gasp]
[Ro] Preston, what'd you get?
Presentation and flare.
We got to think about this one for a second.
-Lisette, what did you get? -Cooking your crepes.
[Preston gasps]
[gasps] No way.
Sofie, what do you have?
Extra help with techniques.
Ooh, the details.
Yeah.
I'm so excited about that.
All of these things will be used
to help judge you, so pay attention.
-Are you ready? -[all] Yes.
The creators seem a little bit nervous
and a little bit excited,
and I feel like that is a great combination for success.
Crepers get to your baking station.
[Preston] Let's go!
-This. -Okay, butter.
Hey, don't look over this way if you forget.
I'm not looking over anyway.
Using the dry ingredients, sifting it.
Wow, this is really satisfying.
Are y'all done sifting yet? How did you finish the sift?
-[Lisette] Yeah, you're slow. -Oh, this is way better.
You just wiggle it.
-All the sugar. -Is it eggs?
-Yes, yes, yes. -I heard that, Rosanna.
Oh, my God.
Is it bad for the butter to be, like--
What?
What, did you put it on the heat?
Yeah. Is it not supposed to be on?
I thought it was supposed to be on the heat.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Okay, I'm gonna have to wipe that off.
[Ro] I'll just bop around like a little baking fairy.
[Preston] This is apparently the consistency
Rosanna told us to copy, so I'm trying my best to copy that.
I'm trying to get it a little bit smoother.
It looks kind of clumpy, so I'm a little bit worried.
Pull this out.
Oh, my God. This is kind of--
-I know, right? -Wait.
-[blender whirs] -Ah!
Oh, my gosh.
She's feeling the vibes.
Wait, this won't break the bowl, right?
No, it won't. It just feels really powerful.
Oh, yeah.
I feel very powerful right now.
-All right, I'll try the turbo. -Oh, here we go. Here we go.
-Oh, it works! -Yes. Yes.
Yo, turn on the turbo, ladies.
Oh!
[gasps] Ah!
[Lisette] It looks smooth.
Yes, Lisette, I'm so proud of you.
That is the goal. That's what we're going for.
-Hey, Sofie? -Yeah?
Chuck me some butter?
-Ready? -Yeah, yeah, come on.
Come on. Oh!
-Oh! Yes! -[gasps] Oh!
-Lisette, coming to you. -Oh, gosh. Wait, hold on.
-Come on. -[Lisette gasps]
-[screams] -Oh!
-Okay, ready? -Oh, no.
[laughter]
These cakes aren't gonna make themselves.
Swirl right in the middle and then with your wrist.
Oh, she's already on her first crepe.
She's already on her first crepe?
-Yeah. -Is it too hot?
That's okay. First crepe is crap.
Okay.
Swirl right in the middle and then with your wrist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-I'm right-handed. -Oh, you are?
I should've done it the other side.
Oh, shoot. Okay. [gasps] It's great.
[Lisette] Is it?
She's a little bit more timid and precise.
And precision in cooking and baking is an incredible skill.
[Ro] Yes, that's actually
what a perfect golden brown looks like.
[Preston] Oh, dude, this is the hard part.
Was it 1/4 cup?
-[Preston] Hey, Sofie? -[Sofie] Yeah?
-Can you wish me some luck? -[Sofie] Good luck.
I'm going in for my first crepe.
Actually, no, not good luck, because I'm trying to win this.
All right, a little bit of this.
I'm looking over at Preston...
All right, oh, a little bit of the--
-Oh. -And he is confident.
Oh, oh, oh!
All right, we spilled some on the burner.
But he's also messy.
All right, crepers,
we only have 30 minutes.
-No. -Oh, no.
I'm only on my second color, Rosanna.
[upbeat music]
[gasps]
What sprinkles?
It's sugary. They'll be okay.
[Lisette] It might not be ready.
-Too soft? -I'm gonna save this one.
Lisette, your cooking instincts kicked in?
Ah! They just kicked in?
-[Lisette] They did! -Animal instincts,
and you're, like, "No, it needs a minute."
Yes.
I love Sofie's technique.
She picks up the whole pan and just flips.
[Sofie] Oh, my God, it's got golden brown in it.
Let's go.
I have made the perfect crepe.
Oh.
Whoo!
[upbeat music]
[Sofie] It's now, like, bubbling.
-Is it done? -[laughs]
Nothing like the smell of burnt crepes, you know?
[laughter]
No, no.
[Ro] Sofie, you're gonna flip it on there.
Okay, that's good.
-[Sofie] Okay. -[Ro] You're doing great.
Look at that. Ooh!
She is fearless.
I haven't even helped her at all,
and she's already made a couple crepes.
Beautiful color with a little bit of light brown crispy.
Yummy, yummy, yummy. Ooh.
[Lisette] It looks like a tortilla.
-[Ro] Ten minutes, bakers. -[Preston laughs]
Man, it's steamy.
And bam.
We're done with blue. We're moving on.
Bigger, better things--yellow.
Maybe I fill it?
Yeah, you can't really afford to mess any of these up.
I'm nervous.
[mouthing words]
[dramatic music]
Okay, so I'm helping you with techniques and assembly.
-Okay. -Take your piping bag.
And, remember, just pipe a thin layer of icing.
And when you're assembling them,
just try and make it really flat
so that the top doesn't totally lean
one way or the other.
-[Sofie] Okay. -[Ro] You got it.
[Lisette] Okay, so I'm running out of time.
I'm kind of freaking out,
so I feel like I need to start stacking,
and I need to figure this out.
Oh, look at this.
I can't get it flat. I can't get it flat.
I've never used, like, one of these before, so...
Yes, you got it.
I'm trying to center it up. I don't know.
I'm gonna add a little more over here.
Oh, God, that cream bag is open.
It's everywhere. It's everywhere.
This is harder than it looks. Like, actually squeezing this.
Perfect!
All we have to do-- decorate the top,
-make sure we add our unicorns. -[Ro] Yay!
-Decoration! -Yes!
This is where I finally get to help you, Preston.
-This is finally... -Whoa.
Whoa.
Okay, let's help.
Let's just pick it up and make it pretty.
Being messy as a baker isn't necessarily bad.
Very great technique making the crepes.
-[Preston] Thank you. -It is just kind of like more
of a red flag...
like when you're dating.
I'm thinking about using, like, a desert unicorn.
I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.
Maybe one of these sandy-looking macarons.
[Ro] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I finally finished the buttercream, thank God,
I'm, like, the slowest person out here.
What did I want? [gasps]
[Lisette] I'm trying to go for, like, a pink and purple vibe.
I think I'm going to put some flowers on the cake
and some Minecraft-looking tarts.
[Ro] 'Cause we don't have a tip or anything,
so just some, like, circles.
I feel like I should try to, like, layer the sprinkles.
[Preston] Boom, boom.
What about the macarons?
You want those on there instead?
-Yeah, these are fancier. -[Preston] All right.
-[Ro] They're French. -[Preston] Okay, okay, okay.
-And then the horns right here? -Yes, there you go.
[Ro] Two and a half minutes, bakers.
Let's see some decorations.
I'm using my hands, but they're clean.
I'm hoping that the sprinkles and the roses
and everything gives me some points.
I'm liking this so far. I feel like this is looking good.
All right, now we're gonna do a little bit of this.
-Yes, yes. -Wait, can we make a bridge?
You've got a vision. I'm just gonna get out of your way.
[gasps]
[Sofie] I'm stressing out.
-[Preston] Nice. -Got it.
[Preston] You should be stressed
'cause I know I'm gonna win.
There's nothing wrong with second place.
Did I push too far? It's fine. It's fine.
Okay.
[Preston] That's the plating we all deserve, baby.
30 seconds, bakers.
-[Preston] 30 seconds. -Oh, my gosh.
Man, I don't know if I'm gonna be done in time.
I'm trying to draw this so fast.
-Okay. -Whoa.
Oh, my God. I had this last-minute idea.
-Ten, nine, eight, seven... -[Preston] Oh!
[Ro] ...six, five, four...
-[Preston] Come on. -[Ro] ...three, two, one.
-Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! -[Preston] Whoo!
[sighs]
So this episode, you had to copy my crepe cake.
And you all did very well.
I was actually a little bit surprised.
But I'm very proud of you.
You all know that I'm judging these crepe cakes
on presentation, taste, and technique.
And we're gonna be keeping our scores secret
until the finale.
It's gonna be one out of ten,
and, Preston, I'm not gonna lie,
I was gonna give you a one
because of your challenge and the sprinkle situation.
[Preston]
Hopefully she goes easy on me.
Someone's got to win this episode.
So, Lisette,
can you just tell me about your crepe cake?
Yeah, so I saw the roses.
And I knew that for decorating, I wanted to do something,
like, based around, like, the pink and the red.
Okay, I'm gonna cut a little slice.
When you cut into this,
what you can see is all your beautiful crepe layers.
Look how perfect they are.
[Preston] Oh. [gasps]
[tense music]
They're cooked.
That is impressive.
I definitely have one raw crepe in there.
My only piece of criticism for you...
-Yeah. -...is it's kind of domed.
-[Lisette] Yes. -You want to put more icing
around the sides and go thinner in the middle
so that you use the icing
to make each level as flat as you can.
I love these crepes. I love the colors.
-Oh, she's talking to herself. -I know.
[humming]
-Bro, that was scary. -[Ro] It's been done.
[Sofie] That was so scary.
Preston, I'm a brutal voter.
Please tell me the story of this cake.
So you've got the--it's albino desert theme, right?
That's why there's a lot of white sand.
I'm gonna say that I think this is the messiest crepe cake
I've ever seen in my life.
What do you mean? That's the design.
The little ganache.
[dramatic music]
-They're cooked. -Yes!
Let's go!
-Mmm. -Yes.
These cookies are delicious on the top of this.
Such a simple flavor palate
that putting a little pop of flavor on the top
is really fun.
There's a lot of good things that I like going on here.
Hmm...
-Oh, man. -It's a secret.
Last but not least, Sofie,
would you please tell me about your cake?
So here I did, like, a summer kind of themed cake.
Kind of love themed, too.
If you notice, on the macarons, it's got hearts...
-Aww. -...and then smiley faces.
I love this idea.
I just have to ask, did you use a tub of icing on the top?
-[Sofie] Yeah. -It's almost as tall
as maybe a couple layers of crepes here.
Yeah, I did put a lot of icing on.
-I thought I'd add some height. -[Ro] Okay.
-There's so much! -[laughter]
I mean, this whole thing-- Half the plate is icing.
[laughter]
[Sofie] You're gonna have a sugar crash later.
[laughter]
[Preston] If you keep laughing,
your nose is gonna be running ice cream.
All right, so the crepes are delicious.
Very well made.
That's a lot of icing.
-That's my critique for you... -Okay.
[Ro] ...is maybe a lighter load here.
[laughter]
[Ro] All right.
Did a good job.
The technique, especially assembly.
It was a lot of frosting.
[music continues]
-[Preston gasps] -[Sofie] Uh-oh.
She was fast with yours.
[Sofie] Yeah, that was too quick.
-[Preston] That was quick. -I didn't like that one.
Well, y'all did a good job. You worked really hard.
I know making desserts is not easy.
But I've got to name a winner today.
[music continues]
The winner of today's crepe cake challenge...
is...
-Sofie. -[Preston] Ah!
[Ro] Sofie!
-[Preston] Good job, Sofe. -Whoo.
Like, I was not expecting this.
You really listened and copied that look.
I was blown away. I was not expecting this.
Is it eggs?
What?
Oh, my gosh.
I have made the perfect crepe.
[Ro]
[smooches] ...belongs in a bakery.
All right, that does it for this episode of
Check out the next episode,
episode four over on Lisette's channel.
We're gonna do so many things,
including find out the scores in these mystery boxes
and figure out which two of us
is gonna be competing in the final episode.
-Dun, dun, dun! -[Ro laughs]
