Gay Family Values Cupcake Time

[MrJoshfroggy]

"sorry little baby ducklette" Awwww.

[KawaiiMooMoo]

Those are some of the cutest kids ever :3

[BlueShreveport]

Great job with the video Daniel! And please don't be shy about being on camera, everyone enjoys seeing you and the videos wouldnt be the same without you.

[brownlamp1]

you guys have such an awesome family! :) daniel and selena are the cutest kids ever. God bless. :)

[hardinmichael1981]

Daniel, you're very cool just the way you are.

[steelepixie]

Your children are so adorable. School is so tough on kids, but with Dads like you guys I'm sure they will grow stronger every day.

[Poeboi]

Ok who's Roli Poli? One of her bugs?

[aquamarine705]

@Poeboi havent you ever heard roly polys? its another name for the pill bug!

[PinoyBoyy]

I think that was a really serious moment a lot of us with cleft palets have with not only ourselves but with our loved ones. Just let him know that one day in your life, you will want to be infront of the camera all the time. It's a scarey thing and I'm so glad you are letting him make his own decisions and respecting them. That's important.

[robertbpaulson13]

Daniel if you decide not to be in the videos I would miss you very much. I always think you look and sound great on video and was going to comment how you should do television because you're so naturally entertaining. You're a handsome bright kid, and I would hope you never doubt that. By the way, you rocked that suit at the Family Equality Awards presentation. ;)

[deansilverz]

both of your kids speak so maturely... love them!

[tatertotification]

First of all I want to say that daniel is a wonderful boy who should be proud of everything about himself. He is so sweet and should never be unconfident about anything. Second of all to the commentor below me, this family has clearly shown that everything people like you say can only make them and the gay community in general, so much stronger.

[BearGuyPaul]

I'm confused... When you cones in the oven with cake mix in them, don't the cones melt/burn??? What does it look like when it's made properly?

Anyway, Daniel, hope you never give up on the movies, be it behind or in front of the camera.

Your Irish pal,

Paul.

[depfox]

if you use the lrg cones they dont burn

[MrDaHoff]

I think Daniel is the next Martin Scorsese. Je.

[scottneumann82]

Great Job Daniel!!! I hope that you continue to be in the videos you are an awesome young man I it would break my heart not to be able to see you anymore!! You are loved

[brownlamp1]

oh I love this recipe, I used to make them a lot with my parents when I was a kid. should try it again sometime. :)

[nowvoyagerlover]

Oh you are all so cute, and you made me laugh so much when you realised you only had small cones. p.s great recipe, I will be giving it a go with, the BIG cones. And Daniel you are a very cool kid

[stpbrakefluid]

Dear Daniel, Please keep making videos.

-Dylan

[SocialWonders]

Daniel, we all love you. You don't have to be afraid of concerned. You're awesome (as is the rest of your family). I will have to try this cupcake trick!

[Raw8en]

"Sorry little baby ducklet!"

That was so cute!

I love your family, you guys are such good parents!

Daniel's camera skills were excellent! I think it's great that you give him the option though of whether he wants to be a part of it or not. I hope he continues to be a part of it, but maybe he just needs some time! He's very smart and very cute, and I hope he gets more comfortable and learns to love himself!

Also, can we find the recipe for the cupcakes in the cones somewhere? It looked yummy!

[phantomsluva]

Oh little fact that Selena may or may not be interested in if she loves bugs.

In England we call Roly Poly's woodlice (woodlouse singular), we also call ladybug's, ladybirds.

Random bug trivia from the U.K.

Hope she enjoys :)

[daydreamingbaby]

I really hope Daniel continues to want to be a part of the videos, he is such a great boy. I really cant imagine the videos without him. Please tell him his filming skills were excellent.

[Anon11674]

Cupcake time! :D

Cute kids. Very happy ones, too. It's sad how the bigots assume they'll end up messed up. Of course, being tolerant towards gays counts as messed up for most bigots.

[aikalynn]

this movie is super cute, made me smile.

sorry little baby ducklet. x]

[ufo8mykat]

Little cones are easier to me. Use piping bags instead of spoons - no fuss, no muss. You can stand the mini cups next to one another in a pyrex dish so they don't fall over, et voila! Nice spoons. :)

Good family videography, Daniel!

[GoldAnnaple]

I hope we still get to see Daniel in front of the camera for Christmas this year. I'd love to see his little face light up when he opens his gifts.

With love

~GoldAnnaple

[18loverof2]

i love funfetti cupcakes lol and daniel did a good job at flaming

[StraightActingGayGuy]

cupcakes are tasty! Good job!

=)

Erik

[annan222]

Daniel, you did a good job. And Selena, you are so adorable cute :) Hope you enjoy you cupcakes.

[kc55mo]

I'm convinced that the best way to have kids eat healthier is to have them help make the food. They get to see how it all goes together and they won't be as suspicious of new things. Yea!

[MMA]

Those are some excellent points. :)

[yoursmorph]

best family in the world

[cachdoan]

I love to have a family like yours :)

[heidelbergerin]

You guys are fab! I love watching your videos. Selena is so cute and Daniel, don't be shy, we love watching you. Also, you have inspired this Brit to make my own ice-cream cone cup cakes. Awesome!!! Love you guys!! xx

[colinlikeschapstick]

Daniel - you have no reason to be nervous! The only thing I see on camera is an intelligent, funny, wonderful kid!

Hope you return to the screen! :D :D :D

[sassygalady]

Cupcakes, what fun! My youngest is 13 so she makes those and rice crispy treats on her own now but she likes to help with dinner so that's always fun. This may be weird but I love your spoons. Too bad about the mini cones.

[agphotography1569]

It looks like Daniel is a videoographer in the making :)

[stoner829]

This is pretty refreshing after the firestorm of last week. This family is what the religious right is saying that is unraveling the moral fabric of our society!!!! Incredible!

Great job Leffews

[newkillerstardust]

This is very enjoyable for me to watch. I'm looking forward for the next recipe! :))

[bagelboi66]

I wish I'd grown up in a family like this.

[iamtheblackmage]

Selena's adorable. lol Daniel did a great job as your cameraman, too. =P

Had a bit of a chuckle at the exploded mini ice cream cone cupcakes. XD Did you guys end up eating them anyway? lol

[zingershminger]

Ohhh my goodness, I love ice cream cone cupcakes.

[IRITIPIN]

Cute video!

BTW kids, thats my favourite part of cooking too XD

[nopedamnit]

I love cupcakes and I love your family -- thanks for sharing the fabulous baking adventure!!!

Daniel did a marvelous job as the director! It's so hard to be that age, no matter who you are. I think it is really great that you are allowing him to explore new ways to be involved in the video making process that he might be more comfortable with, even though everyone will miss seeing his sweet face if he decides not to be on camera.

[MrBrianGarcia]

Oh, and Daniel, you are doing great on camera and behind the scenes too.

Don't worry about what you sound like or look like on camera. We all look and sound a little different and wierd but you obviously have a fun and caring personality. Have fun making those videos kiddo and don't let what others say get you down. You shine on camera and off camera too. No matter what you do. You have a lot of potential and a great future ahead of you. Lots of love, -Brian

[showtunesman89]

Daniel and Selena are so cute! :) And I miss ice cream cupcake cones from my childhood. Maybe I should make some tomorrow...

[MrBrianGarcia]

Hahahaha, my Dad did the same thing. He accidentally bought the same cones for icecream and so now whenever my two year old nice comes over she has her own mini-cones. :)

Glad you guys (and little lady) had fun! Those cupcakes looked delicious!

[Lana7601]

oh my gosh!! My mom used to make those for my birthday when I was in elementary school! They are the best! I was just thinking about how I want to make them for my 20th birthday next week :)

[StarStruckedSam]

aww the kids are so cute. Selena is adorable. Daniel shouldn't worry about embarrassing himself. Im sure no one on here would ever dare make fun of the way he talks. it was great seeing him direct the video this time. He did a great job. Cant wait to see more videos like this. It puts those rumors to rest that gay couples cannot raise children or have a happy loving family.

[debbieomi]

You tell Daniel that even if he did something embarrassing in front of the camera, we would still all love him. He was so sweet encouraging Selena, made me want to reach through the computer and give him a hug. The world needs more older brothers like that. :-)

[quirkyninja]

I like Daniel as the director! He did a great job.

I had a lot of trouble with the other kids when I was younger as well. Just keep doing what you're doing in being encouranging and understanding. :)

[chicken448]

That is a good idea using the cones, I m going to have to try it.

[roothie]

selena: "...because when I'm a grown up I can cook anything i want for you guys..." :)

and hugs for daniel too! :D

[tommy2tone]

Daniel did a great job at filming. I hope he doesn't stop being in front of the camera, because he is part of the Gay Family Channel. Your fans looks fordward to seeing all 4 of you and the extended family and friends you bring to your videos.

[burk0000]

Daniel you may be the next Spielberg. Love you guys, thanks

[revemupman]

lol

I use to fight with my two sisters for the left over dough each time my mom made cake or cookies. This brings back so much memories.

[Stephanreyu]

This kind of video give me good perspective when I'm feeling beat up by people who want to make sure I know I'm a bad person. Keep it up guys.

[rextrek]

hey guys - nice vis as usual! :) you guys on facebook? what sweet kids..I can only imagine what they will be like in 5-10yrs....Don't be SHY Daniel, you make us all smile... I remember fighting over the pan..lol I wanna a cupcake! xo Rex

[depfox]

yes we are on face book/twitter and bryan blogs just follow the links on the maine page.

[miamlarda]

i think you meant "main," but obviously "maine" is on the mind.

[depfox]

HEHE sorry

[wolfcub82]

Adorable. :-)

[lovinhim4life]

I love seeing you guys do stuff with your kids. So often you see people just put their kids in front of a video game or tv and forget abou them.

Great job you guys, you're doing better than more straight parents! LOL

[Justinfhtube]

I have a suggestion: add more frosting and sprinkles to the cup cakes. Actually, forget the cup cakes, just go for the frosting and the sprinkles.

[OrlasGcn]

04:15 "hi"

hahahaha, almost all people do that when they record videos...

So, HI Daniel!!!

[wetterdew]

These ice cream cones had better not burst into flames when I put them in the oven...or you know who I'll come to. xD

I love seeing Daniel in the movies! I hope he stays...!

[thedancetuber]

this is so cute, i always went with the sprinkles first too, LOL, i always licked the bowl...my mom hated that, lol

[depfox]

you seem like a sprinkle guy :O)

[thedancetuber]

rainbow sprinkles, thanks very much! lol

[depfox]

Figured LOL oh by the way dancetuber I always listen to your videos when making these movies ;O)

Thanks

[thedancetuber]

anytime my friends, thats why i am here...send my love to everyone there, michael

[finnryan]

Did Daniel type the comments too? There were a ton of spelling errors this time...strange! But cute video!

[depfox]

LOL thats me rushing :O(

[mysticmagic4760]

Love this video! Great job with the directing & with the camera Daniel. And Selena & Daniel beautiful cupcakes!!

[huebear]

Thats so cool that Daniel said "NICE" to his sister when she got the amount of eggs right! Such a good brother!

I love listening to the kids! Both are SO intelligent!

I can see Daniel has a gift for filming! I agree with him... its better/easier to be on this side of the camera than on the public side.... I struggle to make my vids. Im always so embarrassed of how I look and speak. I always feel like Im not doing good enough.

[mackmeck13]

Great job Daniel infront and behind the camera. Understand him do, I did not like being infront of the camera either, till I was 20......

Great cupcakes.

[quinnbe12]

lol i had cupcakes today two (2 of them)

[Comixbear1]

And the fun thing is that this is what your kids will remember when they are older! The good times where you spent time with them like this! ;)

[RickOnEarth]

Daniel, you're as good of a film maker as you are in front of the camera. Great job! You're a terrific inspiration to a lot of young people out there and should be very proud.

[RickOnEarth]

OMG, I haven't had ice cream cone cup cakes since I was a little kid!

[VlogasaurusFlex]

It's cute Daniel is making the movie.

Cupcakes should always and forever be chocolate.. no sprinkles.. no cones... Just chocolately chocolate... Smooth n soft.. No crunchies.

[lailaagrado]

i love those vids :) you are great parents no matter what ! :)

xxx

[lailaagrado]

and it must melt heart even of those cold people which always vote against pro-lgbt laws :) i think they must see it before vote ,every single time :)

xxxx

[wetterdew]

lol, we should erect television monitors above the poll booths that show videos from depfox whenever a person votes on a GLBT bill.

(I always forget if it's GLBT or LGBT or BLGT or whatever. xD)

[depfox]

Its GLBTI now

[lailaagrado]

who cares,which ltter will be first or last,as far no one is put last by the goverment ,that is much more important :)

at least this is my opinion :)

[debbieomi]

I thought it was Q for questioning. What does the I stand for, interested? ;-)

[depfox]

Gay Lesbian Bi Trans Questioning and Intersexed

[AskCarrieLee]

YUMMY! :D

[ryukage99]

mmm...cupcakes *drool*.

[mykiskoart]

This is so sweet! :) Daniel did a great job!

[KelleeRose1]

Very adorable video! Loved it when she apologized to the baby duckling in the egg...lol How cute. You guys are doing an amazing job!! Great job to the camera man as well, two thumbs up!! This isn't a five star it's a ten star at least! Hugs to you all :)

[depfox]

Selena is on her way to being a vegitarian :O)

[talentguynyc]

Daniel, don't worry...you sound and look great!!

Cupcakes --- mmmmmm!

[Flanole]

What great kids. What a great job you are doing raising them. Congrats.

[Sasukeandslashrmine]

Aww that's really cute! You have an adorable family! ^ - ^

[Awetomatik]

@1:58 "Sorry little baby ducklet." Haha, awesome!

And great interview skills from Daniel in the first half :)

[kwertie]

this is sweet. good way to end such a rough week on a good note =]

[WerewolfOfTheWater]

BTW you guys are gonna turn your kids into film makers lol which would be cool

[WerewolfOfTheWater]

I wish I had a cupcake

[kaitfaery]

Those cupcakes look really yummy! I also remember LOVING to eat the mix as a kid - well, I still do! =D I think it's great when parents cook with their kids - some don't trust their kids when cooking, or just don't have the patience, but I think it's a really fun activity for them and I'm glad to see you do it with Daniel & Selena! =)

[LathanJV36]

I just loved this video, it was so sweet!

[summersonset]

Please tell Daniel he did a great job making this movie. Maybe he'd like to become a moviedirector when he is grown up :)

[korisx]

Making cup cakes in ice cream cones?? Briliiant!!! I should try that.

I pride myself on making cupcakes from scratch.

Daniel, there's nothing wrong with you, you're adorable and very sweet.

Sean Chapin rocks!!

[ophsj]

OMG THAT WOULD TOTALLY RUIN MY DIET :(

Oh well at least I can look!!! LOL

Once again this is proof of how great your family is, and how you two are doing a wonderful job.

Even though we lost Maine, we will ultimately win this battle. We just need to stick together, and keep providing the support for all of our community! We also need to educate the people who don't know we are just like them, show them were all equal. Anyways keep up the wonderful work and stay strong.

Josh

[rainbowpagan]

I love fun fity my fav cake miss

[Darkuser22]

omg I want a cupcake! i love cupcakes. and sorry to hear your ice cream cone-cupcakes got destroyed, the kids would of loved them :)

[leosalra]

Very "sweet" video. I think that many of us wish that we grew up in a home so full of love like yours, I know that I do! I always have to keep a box of Kleenex handy because your videos tug at my heart. Thanks for sharing!

[Ali68C]

Daniel did a great job filming. Clearly I missed out on the licking the bowl though, we were only ever allowed to finish the frosting cos of the raw egg in the cake mix. I'm totally gonna have to try the ice cream thing.

[MsTimelady71]

Same at my house...if the batter had raw eggs-no licking the spoon. But baking is my favorite part of cooking..cleaning up is not so fun:)

Daniel getting to that age where he's more socially conscience. If and when, we'll miss him in the videos but perhaps he can be behind the camera. As someone who hates seeing herself on video, I'm always amazed how natural Daniel has acted and sounded.

So cute when Salena said she wanted to grow up and cook for you guys..You've taught her well.lol.

[tropicalrainstorm]

I eat a raw egg every day because I am trying to get healthier.

[donny5452005]

I want a cupcake now. I might have to go to the store and get some cake mix and make me some.

[MMA]

Daniel did a very good job of filming. The conversation was very sweet and endearing.

[shadowskink]

This is so cute!! Best dad ever xD

Your kids are adorable. Glad you had some fun and made a fun video after all the seriousness that has been going on.

Matt

x

[anesot75]

your kids always seem very sweet, loving and clever. you must be so proud !

xx from france.

[padackles16]

So much fun...I love your kitchen. I hope to have a family that is as happy as yours some day! love as always..Abby....p.s now I want cupcakes

[depfox]

No better day then today whata re you waiting for?

[Smartass8504]

Just a random note. When you bake cupcakes, cakes, etc...you can use apple sauce instead of oil and it turns out pretty moist and VERY tasty!

[depfox]

hmm ill try that next time ;O)

[jesmalu]

aww that looks like fun! =)

[FatElksDieFaster]

try putting the dough into a plastic bag. and then you cut off one of the corners so you can squeeze the dough out of the bag. might be easier for the kids =)

[depfox]

wow great Idea that would be sooooo much less mesy ;O)

[debbieomi]

Using a measured ice cream scoop is great, too. You are putting in the same amount, so all the cupcakes are the same size.

[MsCathianne]

I would have eaten the smoooshed ones too!

[phantomsluva]

I can't believe how much confidence Selena has. It's wonderful. I was really shy as a kid so I think it's wonderful that she's determined to be heard. It's clear the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ;).

Daniel's got the makings of a fine director! :D

I felt sad that Daniel's losing some of his confidence on camera, he's such a sweet kid and he's GREAT on camera.

GREAT ice cream cone cupcakes! :D

[depfox]

I think at his age he is starting to compare himself to other kids his age. He has always been a very confident kid I hope we can help him grow into a very confident teenager.

[phantomsluva]

So do I.

You have such a wonderful family and I wish you all, all the love and the best of wishes.

It's clear even from a continent away (I'm in England) how much love is in that house. I couldn't think of a better environment for children to grow up in :).

[depfox]

Thank You :O) If you werent so far away id bring you a cupcake

[phantomsluva]

Ah thank you! :D

I'll let you guys enjoy them instead :)

[crippledzebra]

I can understand Daniel's feelings, I hate hearing and seeing myself on camera. I have a lisp that annoys me. lol Not sure it's good to feel that way or not really *shrugs*

[phantomsluva]

It's only natural to feel shy and insecure at times. But if you learn to love everything about yourself even the parts that annoy you the rest of the world should follow suit :)

[robertbpaulson13]

@crippledzebra sometimes our imperfections are some of the most lovable things about us ;)

[PurpleHoneyBear]

Yay cupcakes!!

I hope you made some with pink frosting!

[shirononeko]

Aww you guys are so adorable. :) Funfetti is awesome!!

[masticina]

*wags tail and looks innocent*

[ohitzjeremy]

2nd i love u guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[99MLSMediaGroup]

Cupcakes <3. Now i'm gonna go make some :D
