YouTube Week

This week we worked on YouTube. Now I use YouTube all the time to watch videos and my kids love to use it to watch wheels on the bus and those weird videos where people open the eggs and see what's inside. However, I have never posted anything on YouTube before. Whenever I think of posting to YouTube I just think Justin Bieber and think no further.

So I made a profile. My picture is me in a baking shirt and background picture my latest cake. I did make the mistake of filming my first two videos vertically instead of horizontally so the next video I will be more mindful of that.

I put my videos into iMovie and added some transitions and some words here and there. This assignment has been challenging for me because it's a few things I have not done in awhile. It was a nice refresher in iMovie as well as a lot of good information in YouTube.

For my review I am hoping to review either a recipe or a local bakery, depending on how motivated I feel to bake this week 😂😋

Hot Wheels and Gummy Bears and Kit Kats! Oh My!

My son had his fourth birthday party today! I can’t believe I am the mother of a four-year-old, most days I am pretty sure I shouldn’t even be responsible for myself!     For his birthday last year, he wanted a train cake. He absolutely loved Thomas the Train, so I decided to go all out. I made a two-tier cake with a tunnel running through the bottom. Yup, a tunnel. People thought I was crazy when I came up with the idea and when I started working on it, I fully agreed with them! It was a week-long process with molding a tunnel out of gum paste, making sure it was the right height and width, and making sure it could withstand the weight of the cake. When his birthday came around I spent the morning frosting and decorating the cake in bright blue frosting. It took the better part of 4 hours, but the look on his face when he saw a train track and a battery powered Thomas the Train running through his cake was worth every minute of it. Don’t get me wrong, it was not one of my bes

BBC says farewell to Great British Bake Off in a dramatic move to channel 4

The Great British Bake Off has left BBC and joined Channel 4. With millions of loyal viewers, many people seem to have concerns about the switch. For anyone who has never watched Great British Bake off, let's give you the rundown. Great British Bake Off, or GBBO as it is fondly known to many, is a British baking competition which brings in amateur bakers and selects the best one through a process of elimination. If you have watched a show such as MasterChef it is the same basic premise. GBBO, moved from BBC to Channel 4 for selective reasons. While these reasons are being guarded, it has been rumored that money was one of the leading reasons for the switch. While BBC offered a good amount of money, it simply was not enough and Channel 4 swooped in and purchased GBBO for 75 million.   When GBBO was on BBC there were no commercials. While many people are used to sitting through commercials while watching TV, faithful BBC viewers pay extra to not watch com
