This Weeks Video & update

Apologies this was not early.  Truth be told I struggled to get it up at all this week.  My eldest has been back in hospital for what was hopefully his last surgery.  He is recovering nicely and can finally stop taking nine antibiotic tablets a day.  If you're new-ish here you can see  what happened last time he was in hospital and why he was on high level antibiotics for the last 18 months in this video... 2019-12-13 08:38:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Behind the Scenes

When you see the sugared almonds being added in stop motion in the video the reality is I am adding one almond, taking a photo, adding another, taking a photo.  It is a very time consuming process.  But I love seeing the end result when they magically cover the balloon.

EARLY ACCESS

My Gingerbread House for 2019, I hope that you love it.  Home made gingerbread tastes so amazing compared to the store bought houses.  If you don't have time to make a whole house just bake a batch of cookies using this dough, you'll love it.

A little bit of chocolate

Just a few blocks of chocolate needed for creating this week.  This is only about half of them.  Yes, I got strange looks at the checkout.

EARLY ACCESS

My comment feed has been filled with videos that people are sending to be tested.  So here is yet another instalment of the debunking series.   

Early Access to tomorrows video 😀

This week has been a busy one.  Judging the competition was fun, but took a very long time to look at every website that was entered and finally narrow it down to just 6 winners.  😀 

I went shopping today and purchased so many blocks of chocolate  that three seperate people stopped me to ask what I was buying it all for.   As I got into my car I thought of you my patrons and how much I appreciate being able to buy ingredients for creative videos.  S...

EARLY ACCESS

Join the conversation, vote in the poll and put your opinion in the comments on youtube.  Who is responsible if people follow fake or dangerous how-to videos on youtube or facebook?  Does the blame lie with the content creator?  The platform (if the video has been reported and they choose to leave it there)? Or the viewer?  If the viewer how should they check the truth or safety of the videos methods without actually trying it?

EARLY Release & Competition

Here's hoping that you are all having a fantastic week.  I'm off to vidcon for the weekend so won't be able to chat in the comments as soon as the video goes up this week.  Hopefully I'll get. chance on the Saturday.

I had these in Paris and had to share them with you

Apologies that this was not up super early for you guys.  I am in the middle of packing gear for filming in Queensland (details coming soon when that video goes up) and it totally slipped my mind.

Early Access

Just finished editing this one 😀sorry it wasn't up last night.  This week I am looking at some baking hacks from my great grandmothers 100 year old cookbook.  Some of these are common sense, others are weird and one is genius.

Make it great week by making some great choices.

I came up with an idea, a way to make  3D face cakes easier for everyone.   Watch me test it out in the latest video.  Thanks for your support 😀

Behind the Scenes for Patrons

Here's a short behind the scenes I did for you after filming my last video (with bonus Jedd and Molly 💕).  I'm back in the kitchen today, working & experimenting on something a little bit crazy, a little bit weird & a little bit amazing!  Stay tuned for next Friday when I'll show you guys first!   Thanks again for your support.

What would you like me to film for you this week?

Early Release of this weeks video

This week I decided to make a cake that required very little cake decorating equipment so anyone can make it.

Friday's Video, EARLY RELEASE

Happy Easter!

Early Access

Early Access to tomorrows video!  If you didn't notice there was also a video on Wednesday which was the VR version of the video.  If you have a headset then I encourage you to watch that one too.

Early Access to this weeks video

Here's early access to this weeks video.  After filming I gave it away to a long time viewer of the channel who I'd met recently.  He was very excited.

Early Access

This video is filmed in VR180 which means that you can see everything by tilting the mobile phone (you need to be watching in the youtube app to do that), or on a desktop computer navigate with the button in the top left OR you can watch in a VR headset to be fully immersed. 

Early Access to this weeks episode

You asked for it...  I looked through my mums 200 year old cookbook to see what dessert recipes looked interesting either in process, ingredients or finished product.  Even the simplest of recipes was so hard 200 years ago.

💕 Stickers & Magnets

Sending stickers & magnets to this months new patrons, thanks for joining the team 😃💕

EARLY ACESS to the latest episode

Oh my, this took a LONG time to make, mainly because it had 8 different flavours.  You only need three flavours to have enough for a cube, so choose your favourite three and make your life simple.  It does look pretty epic with so many colours though.

Early access to this weeks episode!

What would you like me to film next week?

Be aware that I tend to film a couple of weeks ahead.  And I don't always put them up in the order that I make them, so this won't be the next video that you see on the channel - but the poll winner will be what I film next 😀
