 Welcome back to another very boring and domestic 32-year-old lady video. You don't need to cough back. You're in trouble because I'm mic'd up back here. Oh no I forgot. You're in trouble. Oh no no no. So happy Aries season. Julian's birthday is on April 17th, but we are celebrating this weekend. We are turning into Hotel J&J. There's at least six people coming from out of town. We're gonna have a big Julian birthday party. So I don't know if you've ever tried to just like order a vegan and gluten-free birthday cake, but it's not really a thing. And Julian told me I was like I'd love to make you a cake for your birthday, for your party. What do you think about just like fun fettie cake, like regular birthday cake? And he said he's never had it before. I'll tell you what I've had. Vanilla cake, I've had chocolate cake, I've had ice cream cake. I've never had anything called fun fettie. I thought you were gonna list every cake you've ever had. Oh my god. I've had coffee cake, I've had angel hair, angel food. Okay we're making you a cake. It's like fun fettie. It's vanilla with vanilla frosting, which I know you like. I do like that. But it's just gonna have rainbow sprinkles in it, so it's more fun. I'm excited. Birthday flavor. This is not Airy's Kitchen, okay? I know it's Airy's season, but I'm making you a birthday cake. I want to do it nicely. I want to make you something nice. You're already stressing me out. I'm standing completely still. I got Julian for his birthday. Custom chef coats that say Chef Julian Airy's Kitchen. A nice little toe coat. You see the back? It says tornado back here. Are you happy? I'm very happy. You look really nice. I like it a lot. Is it gonna be difficult for you to just like whatever you're doing not? What's the time on that flower? Okay. What's the cook time? We got three orders up in. So I looked up a recipe on Pinterest for a gluten-free vegan fun fettie cake. Someone's already done it. Amazing. I love Pinterest. But I was thinking because I'm making an actual cake for your actual party, I think it's kind of rude for all of our guests if I bring on a cake with candles in it and there's several bites already taken out of it. Why don't we like one and a half the recipe and I'll make us some cupcakes so we can actually try the cake today and see if it's any good and if it's bad, we just won't serve it to anyone for your birthday. Or it could be a prank and we'll serve it and it'll be bad on purpose. Okay, that's terrible. No? So cupcakes today, prank later. A lot of you guys like when we just do cooking videos because they're fun and relaxing. It's what I like to watch on YouTube because I'm a 30-day-old lady. So this recipe that I'm using is from Loving It Vegan on Pinterest. I preheated my oven to 350 and I'm going to spray my two cake pans. Julian, would you like to be my Susan chef? It looks like you're not paying attention to me. You would be right. I need you to spray the outsides of these pans and then put a circle of parchment paper at the bottom of them. So while Julian does that... Happy birthday to me. I don't know if we're going to have enough flour. Are we low on flour? We're really low on flour. What's the total amount of cups? Cuppage. I'm going to do three and a quarter. This is so much nicer than what we were doing to sip flour, which is just shaking it through a small strainer over and over again. So you girl leveled up at Target and got herself a flour sifter. I'm not going to lie. It's kind of fatiguing my arm a little. I know you're dying inside right now to cook this in four seconds, but it's your birthday cake. I have to bake it for you. Three cups of sugar. Oh my god. This will be for me. Can I have a snack on this? Absolutely not. Put those, put these back in the pantry for your birthday. Happy birthday. Ask me for the sugar. No. Ask me for the sugar. All right. Can I have the sugar? I wish you, it sounds like I'm not mic'd right now. I suck if you could hear this. You are mic'd. Y'all ask me to be mic'd off camera. Well, be careful what you wish for. And three quarters of a tablespoon of salt. Now we need soy milk, oil, and vinegar and vanilla. It's just so... You need enough vinegar? I don't think so. We use it to clean our humidifiers upstairs, so that's why we have so much vinegar. Birthdays be like... That's disgusting. A tablespoon and a half of white vinegar, please. It's okay if I do a lot more of that, right? No. I think one of the nicest things about your mom, like there's six kids in your family, you have a brother and a sister, and then you have three stepbrothers and sisters. Yes. And it's always somebody's birthday. It's always something for an occasion for a cake. And your mom is always constantly making cakes and food and stuff for somebody's something. Yeah, she a good mom. You're so precise. It's baking. You can't just like slap stuff in there. Hello? I disagree. A whole heart. Okay. That's why your Aries cookie that you cooked came out just like... Delicious and it's still in the freezer. You want some for snack on? No. When I was a kid, I always wanted like an ice cream cake. That was like super cool and cookie cakes were super cool too. My mom used to make us ice cream cake. Really? It's like a... It's such a process because the temperature is so important when you make that. How do you even make an ice cream cake? Well, I think what she did is she would like bake a flat piece of cake, right? And then you put ice cream in it and then roll it up and put it in the freezer. Oh, wow. Yeah. Get the rainbow sprinkles and measure me three quarters of a cup. This is like no calories and stuff? Yeah, no calories whatsoever. Are you excited it's your birthday? I'm so excited. You're turning 27. I feel so special. I met you when you were 20 years old and now you're 27. What a ride. I'm in my late 20s now, right? Is that what 27 is? Time isn't linear. It's cyclical. It doesn't it doesn't matter. It's just whatever you feel like. I think as you get older too, you just realize that what's actually important in life and that's just like how much it means to have someone come spend time with you, you know? As much as I told you to get three quarters of a cup of sprinkles ready for me, you just ate them. I also think like when I was a kid, I really liked, you know, the idea of getting a store-bought cake was super appealing because I just, I don't know, it was like special. It's like your special day. Now that I'm an adult, I feel like when someone makes you a cake, it really is the most special. Yeah, because like as an adult, you know what went into doing that. Yeah. Well, I also was the kid that like my mom used to help me make all my Halloween costumes, so it was nice every once in a while to just go to a store and buy something, you know what I'm saying? I mean you walk by that section of cakes at the bakery every day when you go shopping and you never get to have it, but when it's your birthday, that's yours. I know. Do you want to taste this? Yeah, it's good, right? It doesn't taste like cake batter. It tastes very like gluten-free and vegan. Okay, okay, okay. We pour these into the cake pans. So here we go. I've never actually baked you a cake. I'm really excited, but is that a lot? Yeah, maybe stop. It looks really nice though, doesn't it? Yeah. And then I'll use this for a few cupcakes. Yeah. Oh god. Does that look even? Rosanna, Pansino, come help me please. Cake number one, cake number two. We're gonna stack them later after they cook, but over here, this is for tonight. I don't know how much these will rise either. I really, I never bake. Such a terrible housewife. What's so funny, Julien? Bake more wife. We're not married. We're just friends, Julien. I love you. I can tell we're not married by the amount you don't bake. Okay, I'm sorry. When I posted my picture of the gift you got me for my birthday, I just saw way too many comments saying friendship goals. You put the baking soda in, right? I did, I did. Okay, because I definitely did. I did not touch the baking soda. They just come out like hard little birthday biscuits. Dog biscuits. So this Pinterest account that I got this recipe from said that if you're making a fun, fatty cake like this, that the best kind to use are like the jimmies, like the actual sprinkles, because then you get the little streaks of color. Yeah, this is, this ain't gonna get you the streaks, but you can still eat these out of the bottle if you want. I'll show you, I'll demonstrate. What's something that you've learned in your 27 years of life? Hmm, you'd be so blown away and surprised at some of the things that you might be wrong about. For me, I like always had a way of doing things and the way of making my decisions, but then I think one of the things I've learned in my 20s is taking the time of day to listen to how other people do things can be incredibly enlightening. I feel like the older you get, the more you realize you don't know shit. Yeah. Okay, you know. All right, here we go. Oh, dear Rosanna Pansino, please help my cakes come out okay. Thank you, Lord and savior Rosanna Pansino. Our cakes are baking. They need to come out and cool because we've all seen MasterChef and MasterChef Junior when they frost the cake and it's still hot. It's gonna melt and be a big mess. So I need four and a half cups. How do sugar is so fun to look at? We got four and a half. Honestly, I'm so blown away that this has no calories. A cup of vegan butter. No big deal, no big deal. Say hello to the stair master, me. Babe, that's not helpful. I do what I do and you do what you can do about it. Oh, no. And I need vanilla. Oh, you put too much vanilla. So I got some extra bowls so we can Rosanna Pansino and make different colors because we got some nice little food coloring so that we can decorate your cake really nice. How many colors are we doing? We're gonna make like most of it white for your cake and then we'll just do some nice little different colors so we can have fun. To pipe with? Yeah, to pipe with. Pipe it up. Okay, I'm called for. I put too much oat milk into the frosting and I think it's gonna be too thin. I'm sure Rosanna Pansino has done this many times. Our cakes have come out clean. Our cupcakes are out. Beautiful. I'm excited. I don't think I've ever actually frosted a cake. You know, sometimes you don't have to do it to a cake. No, you don't have to do it to a. Julian, what's that paper towel doing? Dude, just living its life. Happy birthday paper towel. Put it somewhere. Julian, I don't think I'm supposed to let them cool all the way in here. Oh, wait, that's beautiful. I haven't decided if we're gonna do the thing. You know, some people cut off the top of it so that it's flat, but like it's a homemade cake. Hello, I'm not Rosanna Pansino. I've been over here praying to Rosanna Pansino that she can hear me and help me. Oh, oh, I'm doing it. Oh, oh, oh, that's so beautiful. We'll just let it hang out then. You want to hang out with me? Let's hang out. Happy birthday. Thank you. Look at my nails. What happened? It was the freak softball accident. Julian said, you want to go play catch and I said, I don't want them. I'm going to break my nails and he said, come on, pitch to me because Julie's a catcher and I'm a pitcher. I really pushed my luck. I broke them all. And I've like put a crick in my neck from just hooking it too hard. Being a 32-year-old lady, it's really difficult sometimes. You just sing that in the middle of a sentence? Yeah. All right. We did it. I didn't break them in half. I don't even know. Thank you, Lord and Savior Rosanna Pansino for sending me good vibes. Okay. Look at you go. Look at me go. Should I let them sit? What happened? I'm breaking it a little. You're like throwing like a basketball. It tastes really good. It does. The batter I was a little worried about because it tastes very gluten-free and vegan. Oh, it came out really good. It tastes really good. So for those of you that are really good at baking cakes, I know this doesn't seem like a big accomplishment, but to me it is. Okay. So something I don't understand really is like the ratio of the frosting in the middle here. You know, like how much do you put in here? Do you like this cake stand I got at Target, but there's something in the top of it that looks like a hair. It's weirding me out. It's like melted into the glass. Whatever that is. I don't know what it is. It looks like a hair. It's fine. You want me to flapjack this one on top? Okay. I don't like this. I don't like this method. It's breaking. So I don't have a thing to frost, obviously, but I do have a cream cheese spreader. This is like a lot of pressure. Oh, it's sliding. This is hard. It's kind of lopsided. Hey, what are you doing? I'm just pushing you a little bit off side. Why are you pushing it? I'm just giving a little slow knife. Just got to go to college. You've got to nudge it out of the nest. It doesn't have to go to college. It's got to go to college. Why is it leaning? We're going to wake up in the morning and it's just going to have slid off. Why don't we push this side down? Oh my God. What did you just do? I wrecked it. You just like, oh my God. You stabbed them. How does that look? Oh, it looks so good. Okay. So for our color tutorial, you're going to flip this right over the cake. High stakes flip makes it always better. Put a little bit of frosting, two spatula folds. That's pretty, isn't it, Julie? Yeah, it's nice. How yellow do you want this? Do you want it like a pastel or you want it brighter? Pastel, pastel, pastel, pastel, pastel, pastel, pastel. Okay. Now we have pink, yellow, and blue. Oh, this one tastes like blueberry. No, it doesn't. This is so much work. It is a lot of fucking work. People just like do this for fun for like on a Tuesday. I'm making a mess. Don't look. Don't. I just cleaned the, oh, okay. It's like way too like soft and mushy to do this. All right. Just put any tip on and just, this looks terrible. Rosanna Manzino, come help me. Can we keep her at my name? Yes, you can. You know what? We were doing okay and now I feel like we're failing. No, we're doing good. It's going to slide off the cake. It's already sliding. It's not sliding. It is sliding. It's sliding. You can do a spiral. So this is the far end and then it just goes more inward. No. Come on, come on, come on. It's the only way to rescue it from falling. Okay, all right. Can I read you in with no high? Yeah. Where do you want to write it? Just write it right in the middle. Just write. Oh, I don't understand. This one's going to be incursive. There you go. Oh my God. Oh God. That's not helping. I'm going to underline it just so people know that's my birthday. Okay, all right, underline it. Perfect. Do you want to know? Okay, that's really nice. Actually, I like that. That's really nice, Julian. Oh, is it video? What if we just left it like that? Can I drop shadow the Julian? Can I please drop shadow it? What? Good. Done. Done. Stop. Okay. Oh, you ruined the pattern. Look at that cake, dude. That looks like we do a bottom line one of just green. I'm going to need you to spin the cake thing for me. Okay? You're squeezing it so hard. Julian, you're squeezing. Hold on. The speed limit is 25 in this. Oh, you're exceeding the speed limit. Julian. This is a school zone. You just went 65. Stop it. We need that for the cupcake. I want sprinkles only on the side. So let's just like shoot them and then you rotate. Okay. There you go. I love it. Don't you love it? It's going to fall over. Is it falling? Yes, it's falling. It's the leaning tower of Julian. All right. Well, we did it though. We did, but now let's get a cupcake. Oh, Julian, this is a mess. All right. Why don't you cut one open so we can see what it looks like? Yeah. Can I show them my new knife? Guys, this is my new knife. This is my new knife. We did it. Wait, that looks good. We did fun fatty. So this will be a test of what your cake is going to taste like. Hopefully it's good. And if it's bad, we don't have to eat it because it already just doesn't look right. Mine is delicious. Mine is yours to taste like. Really good. This is really good. It's something we can feed our friends for sure and not be super embarrassed. More importantly, it looks really good. I think it looks mediocre at best, Julian. It's really good. It tastes like birthday cake. It's really tasty. I mean, in my mind, thinking about how this was going to taste, this is the best case scenario. Really? Okay, well, we made a cake. Lots of people make cakes. We just don't because we're lazy. I feel so loved. This is my, you're talking about language of love. This is it. Cooking and food? That's my language of love. I don't think that's one of the love languages. Mine's like quality time. Your love language is food and cooking. Food and cooking. We're just friends. We're gonna have our first friend kiss. Okay. Hold on, we need fireworks. I'm just a DJ, but I bring a stove to the concert. Oh, what's happening? I love you so much. This was the energy this video was not meant to be, Julian. We're just friends. Stop it. No kisses. Shut up. Thank you guys for coming out. I feel special because we had the cake and this was a lot of fun, but also I feel very official in my outfit. Thank you for coming to Barry's kitchen and being a part of my workflow. Don't lean against that. That's how you're going to turn the gas on, Julian. With this butt? This was very fun for me because I realized this is the first time I've ever baked an iced cake myself and it is incredibly difficult. It is like everything else on YouTube that you see that seems like it should be easy and it is just so hard. It's like punishing. It punished me for every mistake that I made. Thank you for joining me for another beautiful, wonderful, 32-year-old lady. Domestic activity. And a 27-year-old man with very fast and deteriorating vision. Okay, it just doesn't have the same. Make sure you subscribe to my channel. I put it every Wednesday slash Thursday. How about we put our hips together and you use your left hand and I use my right hand and we floss as one. No. Come on. Julian, this is like something someone's cringey parents do. This is terrible. This is my turn to say cut. Come clean up the sugar. You left it out. All right. I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
