0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I made this cake because of my own kid. He

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>was just obsessed with Ninjago at the time, so I

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:13.480

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.639
<v Speaker 1>People used to ask me, how many times do you

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>practice before you make it on YouTube? And the answer

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>is zero. And most of the cakes on YouTube I

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>had never made before. I can't even explain how I

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.000

<v Speaker 3>Louise A very famous cake artist. Her name is Yolanda

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>gamp Wow.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>But Emily, what he's a cake artist? Is it someone

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>who makes strawings of cakes?

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Well not exactly sure. They can start by drawing their cakes,

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>but they actually make very beautifully and carefully designed cakes

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 3>for all sorts of special occasions.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh like birthdays.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes. Cake artists are just so creative with their designs,

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 3>and they're so talented that they make you wonder whether

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 3>you're actually looking at cake or something else.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Hmm, what do you mean by that, Emily?

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's see take your shoe off. Oh what you'll

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 3>see in a second.

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay there, now what? Okay?

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, imagine that you're not looking at a shoe, but

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 3>a cake, A cake so well done that it looks

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 3>like your actual shoe.

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Does this cake smell like my shoe too? No? No, no, no,

0:03:58.720 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>then I love it.

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Imagine it's made with these same things as a cake,

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>chocolate and oh maybe vanillas, sprinkles, some fruit. Maybe each

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 3>shoelace is made of white icing.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>That sounds so good. I want some kind of chewy

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>but not bad.

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Okay, our very special guest, Yolanda Gamp can make

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 3>the cake of your dreams.

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Can Yolanda turn anything she wants into a cake?

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 3>She sure can.

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Can she make a pencil cake?

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Yep?

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>A dinosaur cake? M h even a pencil dinosaur cake,

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, half pencil, half dinosaur.

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure. Yes, cake artists can bake things that

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>can look like just a basket full of vegetables, or

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 3>a football, or a book, a doll or maybe even

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 3>your dog Maxie.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Maxie would love to have a cake of himself.

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 2>It could be a chocolate one because it's furs brown.

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>But then I wonder if max would want to eat

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>a cake with himself on it.

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I guess he'll have to pause before eating it.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>See what you did there? So when are we meeting Yolanda? Emily?

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:12.799
<v Speaker 3>Actually today, Louise?

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.200

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 3>some cake history right before we meet Yolanda.

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:31.040

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Where's our go forward cube? That should do the job?

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.240

<v Speaker 3>Oh ow ooh ow good thing needs lushy sweets. We're

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're really sticky. They taste great.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Ooh you're right, Louise. Hmmm, tastes like nuts and honey.

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 3>I have more, sure, But let's get out of this

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:20.440

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, come on my foot too. Oh, Emily, I'm superdo berg.

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Sure these are cakes.

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're definitely cakes, but since we crashed right on

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 3>top of them now, they're more like pancakes, not a

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 3>glue one. Be careful what you walk on, Louise.

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>There are.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Lots of candles on the floor.

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Ouch you okay, I'm okay. But why there's so many

0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>candles everywhere? Oh? Someone must know it's my birthday.

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 3>I think we're way before you and I were born, Louise,

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 3>like dinosaur, way back almost. Oh that's interesting, Louise. Do

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 3>you see all those people going into the giant white

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>building over there?

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Are they wearing bed sheets over them?

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 3>I think they're wearing robes and they look happy.

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's tell them it's my birthday today.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Wait for me, Louise.

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I feel so small next to these very tall columns.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Watch out, Louise. Looks like people are bringing more cakes

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 3>into this place. We don't want to interrupt them.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>But Emily, the cakes have lit candles on them. Tould

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 2>you it must be a.

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Birthday, honeycakes, candles. It's also a full moon tonight. Oh

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>I get it. Now we're in ancient Greece. This is

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 3>a cell lebration for Artemis, the goddess of the moon.

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 3>This building is her temple.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, there's a goddess of the moon. But wait, Emily,

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>what does the moon have to do with cakes? They're

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 2>both frowned. I guess.

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Actually, yes, you see, the ancient Greeks made round cakes

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 3>with honey and nuts in them to honor the goddess Artemis.

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's why those cakes are so good, exactly.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 3>And they also put candles to light up the cake

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 3>and make it shine just like the actual moon.

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh so birthday cakes are like full moons. But I

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 2>have a question. Why don't we blow out the candles?

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Then that makes the cake not look like the moon anymore.

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Good point, Louise. Blowing out candles and asking for a

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 3>wish actually comes from a popular belief.

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 2>You see.

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.320
<v Speaker 3>People thought that smoke from candles carried prayers up to

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 3>the gods like Artemis.

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's cool.

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's why the ancient Greeks are carrying the cake

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.679
<v Speaker 3>with candles into the temple right now. So the candles

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 3>smoke can reach the goddess of the moon.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I bet the Greeks always wished from no more school.

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Ever, is that what a good night would actually wish for?

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Though? I don't know. But Emily, now that we know

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 2>where cakes come from, I want to know more about

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>cakes today. I mean in my today and your today,

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 2>not right now in ancient Greece today.

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.599
<v Speaker 3>Okay, are you saying what I think you're saying, Louise.

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, if it includes asking Yolanda about her cakes, then yes.

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, perfect, let's do that.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:43.200

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 3>from a car to a watermelon, a mountain, or even

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 3>a book. What do you like making most?

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I love making objects, or especially food items, things that

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>people recognize easily and connect with. I love to make

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the cake version of those items. A guitar or a

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>box of big box of Kraft dinner with a pot

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>of macaroni and cheese, or a giant baseball cap, things

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of those nature.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 2>A real sized cake guitar. I bet it tastes better

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>than it sounds. Yum.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.840
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like this guy is really the limit with

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 3>your imagination. Let's go back to the basics. Then, how

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 3>did you get into baking cakes?

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really know a lot about cake artists specifically

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>when I was growing up. But I did love baking

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and I have a sweet tooth, but I was also

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>really into art. I went to culinary school here in Toronto,

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and I loved the experience. I asked the dean if

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.439
<v Speaker 1>I could do my co op placement at a bakery,

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>and he thankfully said yes. So I now realized, looking back,

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that was a very bold move and that he changed

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the course of my life.

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:13.719
<v Speaker 2>So I started to.

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Work in a bakery. They gave me the chance to

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>work at every single station, from you know, pies to cookies,

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and when I got to cake decorating, that's where I

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 1>truly fell in love. They weren't the type of cakes

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 1>like I make now. They were just you know, round

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>cakes of different flavors, iced in different ways, and I

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to do more and more, and in the meantime,

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>it started to make cakes on the side in my

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>mom's kitchen when I worked at a bakery, and that

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>was back in two thousand and one, so it's been

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a very long time, and.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 3>That makes me wonder, what is the most amazing cake

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>you've made so far?

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I made this cake because of my own kid, who

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.559
<v Speaker 1>was five at the time he's now ten, he was

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a huge Lego enthusiast. So I decided to make Lloyd,

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>who's the lead character in Lego Ninjago like. He was

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>just obsessed with Ninjogo at the time, So I had

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to get it right. But now I have, you know,

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 1>my son at my side, and he.

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Knows Lloyd better than anyone.

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>So I needed to build up the legs. Then I

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>had to sort of recarve the torso of Lloyd to

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure it fits perfectly. Then I had to make

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the arms and the heads and of course his head.

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say I loved Lego as a child.

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 1>As you can see from my work, I love building things.

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I never thought that building cakes was just like

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.959
<v Speaker 2>building Legos. I guess they both used blocks, but one's made.

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 3>A cake, That's right, Louise. That brings me to something

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 3>else I'm curious about, Yulanda. Did you do any other

0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 3>cartoon characters for your son?

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So there has been you know, Lego, Lloyd, there has

0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>been SpongeBob, there's been his roadblocks, Avatar, there's been a

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Minecraft Tea and t Block. You know, as soon as

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>he's done one bird cake, he's already telling me what

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>he wants next year.

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 3>He is just the luckiest boy, isn't he? And all

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 3>those cakes sound so fun to make, but quite challenging too,

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 3>I imagine.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Even with as many years as I have, which is

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>now twenty seven years of practice, cakes still make me

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>nervous at the end of the day. If you're trying

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to control food, a lot of things can go wrong,

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and there are a lot of things that you cannot control.

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>But the mistakes that come with baking really aren't that bad,

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>so there's nothing to be afraid of. You can have

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>so much fun and make so many different variations. It

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>feels like to me, it feels like play.

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 3>And this brings me to the last and most important

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 3>question of all. What makes you happy about being a

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 3>cake artist?

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Huh?

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>This is These are great questions. My favorite thing about

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>being a cake decorator would be to see my client's reactions,

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>especially when I made cakes for younger kids or teens,

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>because they would just get so excited and to see

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>their vision come to life, or if it was something

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>their parents had chosen for them and it was a

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>surprise to them. Either way, I always love to see

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>their reaction. The number of people I met who said

0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>You've inspired me to be creative again, even if it's

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 1>not in the vein of cake. It's just really heartwarming.

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 1>So that makes me feel really good. It makes me

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>feel really proud.

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Thanks so much for chatting with us today, Yolanda.

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>That was so inspiring, Emily. Now I want to try

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of cake ideas, like a spaceship.

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Louise, that's because cake artists inspire so many people

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 3>to use their imagination and try new things.

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>New things like the pencil dinosaur cake.

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, exactly. So now it's your turn, Louise, Ready to

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 3>lead the game show?

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Super ready? Okay, rules are I'll make a question, give

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>some possible answers, and Yolanda has to guess the right one.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Ooh this sounds good. Off you go.

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>First question, how tall was the tallest cake ever made

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 2>in the whole wide world? A thirteen meters, B twenty

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>three meters, C thirty three meters or D forty three meters.

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna get WHOA they all have threes. I don't

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>think guess thirty three. It's a pure guess, defectually correct

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty three meters tall.

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 2>It was like six lords tall. Question two, what shape

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 2>do you think the tallest cake in the world had?

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Hand alert, It's the shape that you can find in

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a very important holiday worldwide.

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>A candle.

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh sorry, Yolanda, it was actually a cake shaped like

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>a Christmas tree. It was made to celebrate the holidays

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 2>in the city of Jakarta that's in Indonesia.

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow. The fact that it was Indonesia and they

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 1>built this in heat is just mind blowing to me.

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, last question for tonight's trivia number three? What are

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.879
<v Speaker 2>three ingredients that all cakes must have to be a cake?

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is controversial now because I mean,

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>there's all types of vegan baking. But if it was me,

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 1>if it was me a butter, I.

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Think the right answer could also be flour, sugar, and

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:32.879
<v Speaker 2>baking powder.

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, yeah, so no that you're right, though, You're right,

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>those three things are great.

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Thanks so much for playing with us today, Yolanda.

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 3>How are you feeling? Louise?

0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 2>And I thought the feeding dragons was hard, but this

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 2>was intense and super fun.

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to have another piece of your birthday cake?

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Now? Yeah, that's my duty as birthday Luise?

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 3>And what did you learn from cake artists today?

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Louise, Cake artists can turn anything they can think of

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 2>into super cool cakes. They get to be creative every

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 2>day and they make people super happy. Oh and being

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>a cake artist takes a lot of curiosity in practice,

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 2>but it's always fun.

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 3>You got it. Thanks for tagging along on this episode
