Ro: Don’t worry, I’ll help you! Austin: OK, thank you so much!
Ro: I’ll teach you the ways of MLP. I got so many requests from you guys to
Ro: make something My Little Ponies related. Austin: Awesome.
Ro: So that is what we’re gonna be doing today! We are gonna be making
Ro: Mrs. Cake Cutie Mark Cupcakes!
Both: Let’s get started!
Ro: The things you will need, will be: A white cake recipe, I’m
Ro: using the official Nerdy Nummies recipe, but we are gonna tweak it a little bit
Ro: because we’re gonna be using a little bit of fresh cherry juice.
Ro: So, you will need: 2 cups flour, 1-1/2 cups sugar, Maraschino Cherries,
Ro: 5 egg whites, 1 sh-tick of butter, 1/2 a cup of milk, 1/4 cup of vegetable
Ro: shortening, 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract, 2 teaspoons of baking powder,
Ro: a pinch of salt, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Austin: You will also need, 2 mixing bowls, 1 mixer, some cupcake trays
Austin: and some liners. Ro: That’s right! Austin: Preferably gold! Ro: Yeah!
Ro: Now let’s. Both: Put it all together!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is whisk together some of our dry ingredients.
Ro: So Austin, you’re gonna add the flour in the bowl. Austin: Ok, here we go.
Austin: Flour’s in the bowl. Ro: Boom! Austin: Boom!
Ro: And, a little bit on the finger, just for a little good luck. Austin: Boom!
Ro: And, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Will you give me a pinch?
Austin: Little pinch. Ro: There you go!
Austin: OK. Ro: Are you ready? Austin: OK. Ro: I’m gonna have you whisk, and then
Ro: I’m just gonna whisk and nay-nay over here!
Austin: Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm! Ro: Mmm! Mmmm-mmm-mmm!
Ro: Now that we’ve got that together we’re gonna cream our butter and shortening.
Ro: So I’m gonna do this, because this is, this is the dirty work!
Ro: Ah! Austin: Ah! Ro: Ah-ah-ah! Austin: OK, I get you.
Ro: This is the dirty work here because this butter is at room temperature,
Ro: so it’s really soft. So your hands are gonna get messy, that’s OK.
Ro: We’re gonna scoop in our shortening. Austin: Scoop that in there!
Ro: Yeah! Alright, now Austin go in there and just mix it up!
Ro: Now you’re gonna slowly add in the sugar.
Ro: So this is a two handed job. Austin: Yeah it is. Ro: So you’re gonna pour
Ro: while you’re mixing. Austin: While I’m mixing? Ro: Yeah. Austin: Wow.
Ro: And I’ll sit here and supervise! Austin: That’s pretty intense!
Ro: You got it, you got it! You’re coordinated, I know you can do it!
Ro: Yep!
Ro: What? A pro over here!
Ro: Now Austin is gonna add the extracts, just pour ‘em both in there,
Ro: vanilla and almond. Austin: I’m gonna fuze them at the same time.
Ro: Ahhhhh! Austin: Fuze!
Ro: Bellisimo! Austin: Boom! Ro: Now we are gonna add our eggs, we’re gonna add
Ro: them one at a time, so I’m gonna have you on mixer. Austin: Got it!
Ro: And then I’m gonna add the egg, and then you’re gonna mix.
Ro: Here we go… Oh, oh my! Oh! Austin: Oh, oh! Ro: OK go!
Austin: Don’t mess up this time! Ro: OK, ready?
Ro: I got it, I got it, I got it!
Austin: That was probably your best one yet! Ro: Thank you. Austin: Yeah.
Ro: Over here we’ve got our batter all mixed up and here is half a cup of
Ro: 2% milk, and we are going to add just the juice from the cherries,
Ro: until it reaches one cup.
Ro: Try not to get the cherries in there, there you go.
Austin: Oh! We’re in the kitchen! It’s OK, we’re in the kitchen!
Ro: It’s OK! Messes are delicious. Mistakes are yummy! It’s OK!
Austin: You tell me when because I can’t see where the cup is.
Ro: OK ready, set…. Now!
Ro: Boom!
Ro: We just did some Dirty Work, cleaned up those cherries, and now, we’re gonna mix
Ro: everything together. So what we’re gonna do here is we’re gonna alternate.
Ro: We’re gonna add a little bit of the dry and the wet, to our butter mixture.
Ro: So we’re gonna start with a little dry, ready? And then a little bit of wet.
Ro: Alright mix it up. Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ro: We have food all over us! Austin: We’re just a mess in the kitchen!
Ro: Boom! Austin: Are we licking this thing? Ro: Huh!
Ro: Yeah do you want to taste it?
Ro: Wait, I thought you were gonna…
Ro: It’s too sweet before it bakes. Austin: No. Ro: Is it OK?
Austin: Mmmhmmm. Ro: OK.
Ro: We just finished making the batter and we put it in these plastic bags,
Ro: and Austin’s got some scissors so we’re gonna just snip tip.
Ro: We put them in here for a little bit more control.
Ro: When you’re making mini cupcakes, it’s a little bit harder to scoop
Ro: in your batter, so using a plastic baggie is just an easy trick.
Ro: And then you’re gonna fill them about half way to two thirds full.
Ro: Austin’s doing really good, and you can make as many of these as you’d like.
Austin: You’re real slow over there. Ro: I know! Oh my gosh!
Ro: Once you’ve filled your cupcake trays, you’re gonna throw these in the oven
Ro: at 350 degrees and bake for about 11 minutes. They’re a lot smaller so just
Ro: keep your eye on them.
Ro: Because they bake a lot faster than regular cupcakes. Austin: Mmmhmm.
Ro: We just took the cupcakes out of the oven, and they have had plenty of
Ro: time to cool, and now it is my favorite time, time to decorate!
Ro: This is the fun part! So we’ve got a little frosting in these bags with a
Ro: number ten tip, and are you ready? Austin: Let’s do it!
Ro: I’m gonna show you how to frost a cupcake. Austin: Alright, let me see.
Ro: Start in the middle. Austin: Oh start in the middle? Alright.
Ro: Put a little pressure, and then you go to the outside, and go all the way
Ro: around, make a circle all the way around, and then work your way in! Boop!
Ro: Nice. Austin: Boop!
Ro: Now the next part is we’re gonna add some little pink sprinkles on top.
Ro: This is just the little confetti, we’ve separated them so that we’re just
Ro: using the pink sprinkles, and just sprinkle them all over.
Ro: I call this the make it rain. Austin: The make it rain?
Ro: Yeah, are you ready? I make it rain, I make it rain!
Austin: Dirty Work! Daw-daw-daw, da-dee-dee-dee! Daw-daw-daw, bop!
Austin: And for the last step we’re gonna put a cherry on top. Ro: Mmmhmm!
Austin: So should we put a cherry on top? Ro: Yeah. Austin: Let’s do it!
Ro: Little candy cherry, and just boop! Right on top. Austin: Boop!
Austin: We’re putting cherries on top, yeah! Ro: Boop!
Austin: Cupcakes, cherries on top, yeah!
Austin: We got pink icing. Ro: Boop-boop! Austin: Pink sprinkles, pink icing,
Austin: pink sprinkles, putting the cherries on top! Ro: Boop-be-doop-be-doop-be-doop!
Austin: Cherries on top, yeah! Ro: Boop-boop-be-doop! Boop!
Both: Ta-da!
