It has been two years since I first introduced Paityn to YouTube, and YouTube to Paityn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We started off filming with her as a birthday gift from her\u00a0 parents, Birthday Cake Surprise<\/a>, last year we filmed cute Rainbow Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops<\/a>, and Macarons<\/a>, and now this year I had her show me<\/em> how to make one of her ideas.\u00a0 Paityn attends the same school that I teach at, and one day she had made these adorable hamburger cupcakes for her brother’s birthday, and as soon as she brought me one, I knew we had to film it for a video.<\/p>\n In the past two years, Paityn has grown and matured a tremendous amount.\u00a0 She’s also grown physically and no longer needs a stool hahahaha!\u00a0 She is one of the most talented, spunky kids I know- but she started out as a shy, quiet girl who I had to pull teeth to get to talk when we started filming. \u00a0Now, I couldn’t get her to be quiet, and she took over my kitchen like she owned the place! \u00a0I love this kid.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Paityn was making these cupcakes, she used box mixes for the cupcakes and brownies.\u00a0 She suggests that using golden yellow cake mix is preferable over a white cake, as it looks more realistic and bun like.\u00a0\u00a0 For the brownies, baking the mix worked best in a 9″x13″ pan in order for the brownies to be thinner than they would be if they were baked as according to the box directions.\u00a0<\/p>\n For the french fries, I knew I had to have an idea to bring to show Paityn, so I made the french fries using pound cake and a crinkle cutter.\u00a0 Baking them under the broiler gives them the true fry look.\u00a0<\/p>\n The recipe is super simple, and super fun to get creative with!<\/p>\n
