This week we are not doing any sort of action. Bryce is currently editing the videos and Spencer is finding recipes to work. Spencer is planning on going to the beach so we might start recording tomorrow. If we cannot record it tomorrow then Spencer will probably have to record him cooking at the beach or Bryce will use separate footage to edit. If we don’t record on Monday (tomorrow as of writing this) Then Cayden will probably not be included this week. If he is not included then we will let him make what he wants the following week.
Bryce is currently working on his edits for the cake video. Bryce spent the bulk of the first of the week learning how to edit on the premiere which helped him get a feel for the program. For when Spencer is gone, Spencer might have to record himself cooking solo or Bryce will footage of the extra stuff from the first week such as the hide and seek stuff to make a sort of trailer video. He plans on researching more ways to edit. The first video will be pretty short and we plan on continuing with the shorter videos. While researching recipes, Spencer has found 2 different ones he is interested in. The first one is Baked Alaska, an ice cream-based dessert topped with an egg-based meringue. The second recipe is an improvement on the chocolate cake recipe that was made in last week's episode. I was thinking about making a German Chocolate cake recipe that incorporates last week's chocolate sponge cake recipe with an icing or coconut-based filling in between. Either one will be fairly easy to do which will be useful at the beach and will be of course, very tasty to the others as well. I can’t wait to see what happens!

2/27/2022 5 Comments Week 1: The Jumping off point![]() February 27th, 2022 2/27/2022 This week we made a basic box cake with buttercream. Of course, it was easy to make but it also serves as a gauge to where we were baking. We planned to meet up at Bryce’s but we didn’t have enough baking materials so we ended up going to Spencer’s house and sorting it out from there. We primarily record on an iPad and got our shots from there. The other person in our project is our friend Cayden. He wanted to learn how to cook and bake as well so he will probably continue joining us in our project. The biggest challenge we have had was our lack of baking products in Bryce’s (which was mostly caused by poor planning) which is why we moved our operation to Spencer’s house. For the most part, Spencer and Cayden did a pretty good job with baking except for the very stupid stunts they would pull for fun such as using the mixer inside the 9 x 13 pan. We ended up going to the grocery store for the buttercream because the cake was less sweet than we thought. We had to make sure that Cayden could eat it because he is allergic to a lot of things. One of the major reasons for Cayden joining in on the project was to learn how to make stuff that didn’t conflict with his allergies. Between us baking and waiting for the cake the cool we cleaned up and messed around. We played a lot of sword fights with some wooden lightsabers. We were playing darts and hit many bullseyes and were extremely accurate and precise with our shots, especially Cayden shots. We did end up locking Cayden inside the attic where he lives to the time of writing this. We did get a recording of us playing hide and seek for Bryce to edit. |
