Ro: Hello, welcome to another Nerdy Nummies! Today I have...
Ro: Davis! Davis: WHOA!! Davis! Ro: Yooo from The Warp Zone NMMOMG
Davis: MMOMG Ro: MMMOMG. Davis: It's not that hard, it's like
Davis: couple different letters. Ro: Today, we are going to make
Ro: a Captain America cake, I saw this cake on Reddit. Davis: Yeah. Ro: Did you see it on Reddit?
Davis: I did not, I did not see it on Reddit. Ro: It was awesome and I
Ro: give full credit to them. It was so cool that I wanted to make one for my self.
Ro: And Davis is a big Captain America fan, so I had to have him come help me.
Davis: I'm a huge Captain America fan, so much so that I brought...
Davis: My shield. Ro: What? Davis: Yeah.
Ro: These are so cool, it's like, bigger than I am. The tools that we'll be using will be:
Davis: Rolling pin, knife
Davis: Spatu-li and cake leveler
Ro: Boom! We'll also need 2 spoo, oh!
Ro: 2 spoons, not 1, 2 for
Ro: each of the food dye. We'll need red and blue. uh 2 bowls,
Ro: 2 round cake pans, these are 8 inch.
Ro: Big mixing bowl and... A measuring cup
Ro: Bahahaha! Davis: You're like a worse
Davis: woman than I am. Ro: Let's bake a cake. Davis: OK, what's this called. Ro: We're gonna put in 1 box cake.
Davis: One box cake. Ro: Yeah! Davis: The whole thing? Ro: Yeah,
Ro: just dump in the whole thing, you can get messy. Davis: Oh thank god! I thought I was gonna have to measure it out, no this is good!
Ro: No, you're gonna use one box cake with white box cake mix. Then you're gonna take
Ro: 1 and 1/4 cup of water
Ro: Now we're gonna do. Davis: What is that? That's oil? Ro: Yeah, 1/3 cup of oil.
Davis: How are you measuring this? Ro: Oh it's on this side. Davis: You can just see through it?
Ro: Yeah I'm like, I'm like have X-Man power's
Davis: Or Superman... X-Ray? Ro: Oh... Davis: You get it.
Ro: Yeah, I know.... Mmmmm. Now you're gonna crack 4 eggs
Ro: and remember just, you just want the whites, you don't want the yolk because the yolk
Ro: is yellow and it will make our cake yellow and we want it white. Davis: So how do you do this?
Ro: And you kind of jiggle to yolk back and forth. Davis: Oh that doesn't look hard at all!
Davis: Well. Ro: And then the white falls. Davis: Guess I say that now. OK
Ro: OK, your turn. Oh crap. Davis: Oh ****. Ro: OK.
Davis: OK. Ro: You got it, Davis: So crack it. Ro: In half. Davis: Nobody watch me. Ro: And hold that yolk!
Ro: Oh no! Hahaha! Davis: What did, what am I doing wrong?
Davis: Am I, am I, is it I'm too strong? Ro: You don't want to give up! Davis: Am I too strong? Is that my problem?
Ro: He's too strong, you're too strong.
Ro: OK, so crack, little bit more. OK yeah, oh!
Ro: Oh no!
Ro: Now that we have successfully combined all of our ingredients,
Ro: we're gonna whisk. Mix these all together for about two minutes
Ro: on a medium speed. Davis: On medium speed?
Ro: Well that's if you have like, an electric beater. But I don't use those anymore.
Davis: Yeah. Ro: Because I got shocked. Davis: That's why you shouldn't use them in the shower. Is this medium speed?
Ro: That's a little fas... a little faster. Davis: Is this too fast? A little slower? Sometimes it helps to be slow.
Ro: Once your cake batter is all mixed, we're gonna pour them into these little bowls.
Ro: And that's where we're going to mix in the dye. I left batter in the bowl because this will
Ro: be our white cake. We're gonna make
Ro: three cakes: 1 red, 1 blue and 1 white. So you just scoop. Davis: It's edible?
Ro: Yeah it's edible. Davis: You can? OK, I guess even if you had said no I'd still eat it. Ro: So you take a little scoop out
Davis: Yeah, how much? Like that much? Ro: Yeah, a little scoop.
Ro: And then put it in there. Davis: And mix it. Ro: And you mix them
Ro: around. Davis: Wow, yours is like, already there, hold on, let me catch up.
Ro: Before you put in your batter, you're gonna want to spray your pan, so your cakes don't stick.
Ro: Here you go. Davis: Available in stores everywhere!
Ro: Pam Baking spray. Davis: You guys should, you should try to get a brand deal from Pam. Ro: I should!
Ro: I don't know why I haven't done that. Or box cakes, that's like all I use.
Davis: Since I gave you the idea, I expect a cut. Ro: Are you ready? Davis: Yeah Ro: Pour.
Ro: What do you want your percentage to be? Davis: Ugh, all!
Ro: 100%? Look, that's not a cut, that's the
Ro: whole thing. Ro: Once you dump all your batter in you're gonna just smooth it out.
Ro: Once you've got all the batter in the pan and you've spread it out evenly, you're gonna throw
Ro: these in the oven
Ro: Uh, temperature is going to be at 350, and you're gonna throw it in for about 30
Ro: minutes. Once your cakes are all done baking, we'll have the red cake.
Ro: the white cake and the blue cake.
Ro: Make sure they've had plenty of time to cool off and now we're going to cut
Ro: and frost them. Davis: But Ro, something is different about the red cake.
Ro: What? Davis: It's been cut into
Davis: 3 equal pieces.
Ro: Yes, we're going to rotate red, white,
Ro: red, white, red, white, red. Davis: Are these all cut in 3?
Ro: Well, since Davis already spoiled it, I'll show you how to cut them.
Ro: Um, these were pre-cut because
Davis: I, I spilled this. no one saw that one coming Ro: I didn't know if I could trust him, I didn't know if he could cut these.
Ro: So you set your cake leveler like this and then you just walk it through.
Ro: Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do and remember just make sure your cake has had plenty of time to cool. You don't
Ro: want to do this when they're still warm.
Ro: Because they'll just crumble and fall apart. And then
Ro: ta-da! Now we're going to layer cakes red, white,
Ro: red, white and frost them in between. The frosting kind of acts like
Ro: glue for the next cake. And you just want to put a really thin, thin layer. Davis: Do you know, do you know how hard it is to not
Davis: shove this in my mouth right now? For those out there like me who don't understand why, why
Davis: do you want thin instead of thick frosting?
Davis: That was, that was an honest question.
Ro: What, really? Davis: Yeah! I don't know, like why do you want it thin? What if you made it evenly thick? Ro: I know it's hard.
Davis: Like it was super thick but it was still. Ro: That's hard for me. Davis: You have a,
Davis: you have an automatic level. I feel like this could have so many more uses than just leveling cakes.
Ro: You can also use this to strangle people. Davis: Ahaha! Ro: Hahaha!
Ro: Pick up layer 2, be really careful, it will, it will break.
Ro: And put it right on, right on top, you can do it! Davis: OK, OK, OK!
Ro: Boom! Davis: No! It's slightly askew. Ro: That's OK, that's OK!
Ro: We'll just wiggle it. Isn't there a theme song
Ro: to Captain America? Davis: The Star-Spangled Banner?
Davis: I feel like America's songs are his songs.
Ro: Was that a dumb question? Because he's a super hero I thought, doesn't he have a song?
Ro: OK, I'm gonna do the red, are you ready? Davis: I don't think he had like a TV Show in his family he's been on a lot but.
Davis: Oh wow, make it look so easy! Ro: Now we're gonna build a second
Ro: stack, white, red, white.
Ro: And you'll see, because we're gonna cut the inverse
Ro: of the flag in the middle and then. I'll show you it's magic.
Ro: It's really cool, it's magic just trust, do you trust me? Davis: You sound like a crazy person. Ro: OK, once you
Ro: finish frosting the second cake just make sure you don't frost the top, you don't need to yet.
Ro: And the reason is because,
Ro: we're gonna cut out the inner part of the cake and stick it on top.
Ro: And then we're gonna put the blue around it, so that when you cut into it will look
Ro: like the American flag which is awesome.
Ro: We're gonna just put that. Davis: Is that just the top of the
Ro: That's gonna be the guide, you hold it down and I'm not gonna
Ro: cut off your fingers. That's gonna be my promise
Ro: And I'm just gonna... Davis: Do you see where it should be? Ro: Try to eyeball it. Davis: Just walk it!
Davis: Just walk it around. Ro: Walk it around. Gonna make cut.
Davis: Cut from the outside. Ro: Yep! And I just kinda pry it off. Davis: Oh it peels.
Davis: Um, that's, can be eaten right now right?
Davis: Like thats... Ro: No! No, no, no, not yet! Davis: Is it being used?
Ro: Not yet, well, we can eat it as a snack in a sec
Ro: Just a second! Next we're gonna cut out the blue one
Ro: I put this one in the freezer for a little while, about 10 minutes to make it a
Ro: little bit easier to move it.
Ro: OK, we're gonna do the same thing only we're not gonna cut out the middle, we're gonna cut out...
Ro: We actually want the round piece.
Ro: OK so we have to take the outer
Ro: and put it around and hope that it just fits. Kinda pop out the middle
Ro: Huh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Davis: Did it, nailed it!
Ro: Oh, oh, just wiggle it, just wiggle it, just make it fit. Davis: Oh my god it worked! It worked-ish.
Ro: Pro! Pro! Pro! Davis: It's working! Ro: Pro! Davis: It's working! Phantom Menace reference.
Ro: BOOM! We did it! Uh, uh, uh hahahaha Yes!
Ro: OK, now you're gonna frost the whole thing.
Ro: After you finish rolling out your fondant like we did. Davis: Mmmhmm. Ro: Um, now we're gonna put it
Ro: Over the cake, this parts a little bit tricky because it's very large
Ro: and I am not so much a pro but, we'll do this!
Davis: And, go! Ro: Placement, placement! Davis: Placement, it's on. Ro: Perfect!
Ro: OK, now take this stuff off. Once you've got the fondant on top, you're just
Ro: gonna lightly press on the sides the cake,
Ro: to get the fondant to stick to all the sides.
Ro: Now what you want to do is roll out the blue fondant, and I already did
Ro: this beforehand, and I rolled it into a long strip
Ro: and I just cut a really long rectangle. So it looks like this,
Ro: And we're gonna stick this all the way around the cake.
Ro: Ta-da! We just finished cutting out all the red stripes,
Ro: and now we're gonna add the last shape.
Davis: The final touches. Ro: We already cut these out, they're ready to go.
Ro: OK, are you ready? Davis: Yeah, well. Ro: Put this on.
Ro: Last piece, final piece, going onto the cake right... Now!
Ro: Ta-da! We finished our Captain America cake, it's so
Ro: cool. I cannot wait to cut into this. Thank You Davis
Ro: For helping me. Davis: Awwww! Ro: Thank you, we did it, we did it!
Davis: Thank you for having me. Ro: We did it! We did it! We did it! Davis: And teaching me a lot about
Davis: cake. Ro: And fondant? Davis: And fondant, fondant! Ro: 'dant?
