[maltesebluebird]

@X24Xanne Thanks! :) I had to look up what divinity was, but it looks delicious!

[Elevation24]

You should have done a give-away for your cupcakes! I would have loved to win one.

[maltesebluebird]

@Elevation24 Ooo, interesting idea. Will consider in the future.

[demonicshadow626]

I can't bake or cook but man do you wanna make me try. You make it so fun!!!!

[frannierouse]

@demonicshadow626 She is AMAZING!

[maltesebluebird]

@demonicshadow626 Thanks! It's always best when there's dessert at the end.

[KBoppette]

LMAO I love this, you're hilarious! You ought to do more baking with Ali videos!

And I love how it looks like you barely have any dishes to wash afterward.

Me, when I bake, I always end up with a mountain of dishes afterward... and I never mean for it to happen!

those look YUMMY, btw!

[KBoppette]

@KBoppette LOL Omg Awww Maxwell~!

dude.... Banana roll! I love that stuff<3 Addicting~!

I also looove Italian Apple cake! It's REALLY good, especially with confectioner's sugar sprinkled on top!

[maltesebluebird]

@KBoppette Thanks, K! Glad you liked it!

I made Maxwell wash the dishes. He's gotta earn his keep somehow.

[TheNZJester]

Maybe you should do the New Zealand favorite "Bacon & Egg Pie"

I don't like the version where they add corn or carrots. I prefer to make mine with just pastry, bacon, eggs and peas. For a bit of extra flavor I will sometimes use minted peas instead of standard peas!

[TheNZJester]

Lamingtons are very big in New Zealand and Australia as a treat. I have never seen a Lamington done as a cupcake before. The sponge cake is normally cut into Square cubes and dipped in a chocolate or strawberry icing and then rolled in coconut covering all 6 sides, or a small cake is fully covered on all sides and called a Lamington Cake. I think you might have just invented the Lamington cupcake!

[maltesebluebird]

@TheNZJester Woot! Do I get a reward? :)

[elmarko85]

You have made lamingtons and quenched a hunger i have had for many years thanks you Natalie. I desire nothing else.

[maltesebluebird]

@elmarko85 Haha! Glad you liked it.

[evilkittyninja]

OH. GOOD. GOD.

THAT. WAS. AMAZING.

PLEASE. MAKE. MORE.

*BOWS DOWN*

Also, You would be an amazing host of a cooking/baking show. You're like Nigella but with more puns! :D

[maltesebluebird]

@evilkittyninja LOL! I do love puns. Such a terrible sense of humor...

Glad you liked it!

[Steffieevlogs]

i had to watch this again just because of the egg jokes i loved it!

[maltesebluebird]

@Steffieevlogs :D

[callerofduty1]

try strawberry-chocolate cake/cupcake...its delicious

[carlitosvodka]

sylvannas



[kellysghost]

What a fabulous technique at :43 !

Haha you're so cute in this! Especially the whole "nutritional value". However, please say the measurements next time. And do this again! Maybe with... like really legit chocolate cookies.

[maltesebluebird]

@kellysghost Why thank you! ;)

Will definitely add measurements next time. And will consider the cookies...

[Lectro0089]

make a cheese cake next time...

[Lectro0089]

Will you marry me Ali....you look good in the kitchen (more ways than one) ;)

[maltesebluebird]

@Lectro0089 Sweet talker....

[TheBitterbaker]

You should have used bitter-sweet chocolate ganache. It's easily made by mixing chocolate with cream on a one-to-one ratio (by weight). I think you should make the german chocolate cake featured in Butter-Flour-Sugar-Eggs next. It's super easy and it looks and tastes amazing.

[maltesebluebird]

@TheBitterbaker Yes! I wanted to honor the tradition recipe, but darker chocolate is always better! It's a law. Will take a look at the German Chocolate cake!

[ManyARamblings]

Tres Leches(three milks) cake! It's the best cake in the world, ever. I have an awesome recipe for a chocolate cinamony one that I sorta invented.. Shall be sent in a message! =)

[maltesebluebird]

@ManyARamblings Ooooo, I love tres leches! Your recipe looks amazing - I have printed it off for the future!

[LittleOblivious]

Yummy cakes? Can this video get any bet- oh look, you're going to watch Doctor Who! And then there's Maxwell. You sure know how to please the crowd :D

How far into DW are you? Which episode? I am determined to have a proper analytical chat with you about it at some point.

[maltesebluebird]

@LittleOblivious Hee! Thanks.

Ugh, so behind on Dr. Who. It was acting all weird on Netflix for months, which I only just got fixed. So just starting season 5. Trying to catch up!

[rockstargirl891]

use a lattle to scoop the batter into the pan ( i didnt know how to spell lattle or laddle lol) the you wait untill its cooked on one side then flip it then you have a polichina you can put jelly or cinnimon and sugar with butter on it to mak eit stick or just butter :) trust me they are not that hard as they sound and they taste very good and i thought that i should put it up here anyways just in case someone else mite wanna try it

[maltesebluebird]

@rockstargirl891 Thanks, rockstargirl891!

[rockstargirl891]

@maltesebluebird np :)

[rockstargirl891]

hmmm i would say polichinas(crapes) but that requires the stove they can be sweet or you can just put butter on them. ill put the recipe down just in case (its my Familys secret Hungarian recipe).

1st you put in 4 eggs 2 tablespoons of vanila and 1 cup of sugar and 2 shakes of salt and mix it all up.

then you add about 2 cups of flour untill it gets thick

then you add milk untill its thin thinner than a pancake batter

then you fry em up on the stove by putting butter in the pan and then

[drewnetwork]

For cooking videos I suggest/request -- exotic pizza, exotic french fries, exotic cheese steak sandwiches, exotic anything sandwich, and maybe that beach style fried dough.

Great video!

[sethik44]

Hmmm, she does look Australian...

[SmickyS]

They look delicious! :D

Next you should make a dutch apple pie :D

[maltesebluebird]

@SmickyS Thanks! I made my first apple pie a few months ago and it was so yummy! Will have to do it again.

[Steffieevlogs]

they look soooo good i want some what recipe did you use i'm thinking i'll make some for my birthday 

[ElCabron889]

I thumbsed up...because lamingtons are cool.

[maltesebluebird]

@ElCabron889 Ha! Thanks.

[plostellum]

Great! Natalie would be proud :)

Also, I cannot possibly decide on ONE thing out of all the delicious sins out there...

[TitanLuke1]

You should come up with a cookie that reflects your personality. Call it the Maltese Bluebird Cookie. But if you're like me, every time I make cookies I eat all the dough before I get to put everything in the oven.

[maltesebluebird]

@TitanLuke1 Great idea! I am definitely going to think on that.

Tho seriously, cookie dough is so nom nom.
