Kayla: “It’s fine, it’s fine”
Also Kayla: *constantly looks at Dan for reassurance*
Stopppp her face had me sobbing. When he butchered the circles at 2:42 😭😭😭
Its a bit gloopy but that's okay. Its about bitter, but that's okay. Its about much, but that's okay. 😉

Underrated comment
I love seeing how happy Kayla is just because Dan is there, cutting parchment paper off screen. As someone who's also in a long distance relationship I can completely relate. When he comes to visit, even washing dishes become fun because it's with him.
Ngl I cried a little bit reading this
🥺 I'm sorry covid has been keeping you apart more than normal!
Same! We finally got to visit this summer after over a year apart and I'm already counting the days till we get to visit again (3 months!) 🤗
I’d also really like to know how Dan is coping without a kettle.
i thought this as well hahaha
they probably got one! haha i know i would lol
YES!!! As soon as she said boiling water and 'I'm going to go heat this up', my heart fell for him hahahah
We do have kettles in the United States, my family has had at least one kettle consistently for the last few years, all you have to do is buy one.
I'd love to one day have Dan's insight on what surprised him the most when moving from the uk to the us
that he would be simsie's parchement cutter and scissor fetcher /j
You should check out his stream sometime :) he’s pretty open and willing to talk about the move
@@michelledichiara6435 Oh yeah forgot he also made content 🙈 thanks !
This is such a fun video idea. I agree!
I wouldn't mind them having a shared vlog channel tbh
dan blurring out his feet when editing is the most relatable thing on the planet somehow
I know I was so disappointed 😔
@@katto3142 i-- okay
You gotta protect your feet from people that enjoy them too much.
@@katto3142 THE DOOR...NOW😭
i hope he forgets... someday 😭
I lost it when you were pouring the cake batter into the pans. Dan’s reaction to the lumps and you like it’s fine!!
Right?! I'm with Kayla on that one, some cocoa powder lumps are really not that big of an issue :)
I love how one of the counter spaces in the back is just used for a lit candle
Prolly hard to film there tho
Major sims energy
Dan sneezing near the bowl at 4:21 gives me sims putting their earwax to the salad vibes
I hate when sims do that. They’ll be cooking and picking at their earwax at the same time and I’m like “Ummmm…. you realize that’s for your entire family just you. Right?”
the shrek the third magnets. the rick astley(?) cross stitch. the "we're on facetime" energy of the video. this is immaculate content
This is the kind of UA-camr kitchen I aspire to
Dan got her the magnets
@@elizabethkeen7851 iconic
Dan, remotely, via facetime in the UK last year: "It looks good! You did well!"
Dan, in person: "It's got lumps...it just...doesn't look right."
The fact she used the dry and liquid measuring cups with the opposite items really is messing with me 😂
I was combing the comments to find my people who twitched at that.
@@MamaMackerzgirl I was like what is happening 😂
Love you Kayla, but I was screaming this at my TV as well 😅
I saw that and immediately was like someone has to have said something... surely...
was trying to find if anyone else noticed this too
she just looks so much happier with dan around. i'm so happy for them, it warms my heart :)
Awww
Happy Birthday Simsie ♥️
🥳
🥳🥳
Jesus loves you :)
OMG XUREILAA I LOVE UUU
I love the fact that Dan blurred his feet… idk why but it reminded me of when Plumbella blurred her dog’s butt
IM LITERALLY LAUGHING OUT LOUD
Kayla getting excited about Dan being there just made my hopeless romantic heart explode!!! She seems so happy ✋😭
I can definitely say that Kayla is now AT LEAST cooking level 5 😌
(cause we cook cakes not bake them obviously, Sims 4 🙄)
This is true unless/until SrslySims updates her cooking overhaul mod
i mean cooking and baking are pretty much one in the same honestly. you can break up lots of different culinary things into different categories (making sauces and stirfry vs. making pot roasts and casseroles; frosting cakes vs. baking them; etc etc), but I don't really see the point in it.
@@fwogboy I beg to differ. Baking calls for more precision than cooking normally does. The cake could have more easily turned into a complete disaster if she was off with her substitutions. Luckily, it turned out fine and looked delicious.
Cooking is a little more lax bit people can still benefit from knowing what ingredients can actually do with others and why some combinations work exceptionally well. Technique is really more of what drives cooking. Take a simple carbonara with parmesan cheese, eggs, pancetta (guanciale is more traditional but less common in the states), and spaghetti. It's way easier to mess up than many know but once you get a good technique going, you have a delicious dish.
for me, a somewhat experienced baker, this was a horrifying experience that i thoroughly enjoyed
As another somewhat experienced baker, I concur
same lol
Same! The whole time I was like this is how you solve that problem.
Same! There were several times I was staring at the screen in horror but it was very entertaining. I'm glad she had fun!
As a semi-professional baker, I wholeheartedly agree
I also love that this cake will now always be a tradition with them on her birthday. Each year it'll get better and better and it's actually so wholesome and I will watch every single one until she perfects it and doesn't wanna film it anymore.
Is this considered “cooking skill” “baking skill” or “gourmet cooking”? And what was the quality of this?
BAKING SKILL QUALITY: EXCELLENT
I can’t believe she’s 22 it feels like just yesterday when she was 16 on UA-cam
Happy birthday 🎂🎉🎈🎁🎊 Simsie
Right?!
Ye she is only a year older than but she feels 20 years younger
@@Islatodd23 ?.?????????????????
...hello:>
Jesus loves you :)
I love how you used dry measuring cups for the wet ingredients and the liquid measuring cups for the dry. Really adds to the chaotic energy of the video lol
I saw that and laughed too
I was just about to comment this 😂😂
Checked the comments before I commented on that. The absolute chaos factor.
LOLL i commented that too (before seeing your comment)
Dan was scared the whole time that he was gonna have to eat it. Poor Dan. Didn’t know how good it would be. 💖 🎂
Simsie's little clap when Dan approved gives me life. Absolutely adorable!
I will not apologize for how hard I laughed at Dan’s attempt at cutting the paper 😂
I love how she says “it’s okay you did a good job” 🤣🤣
Poor Dan
Kayla using liquid measuring cups for the dry ingredients and the dry ingredients measuring cup for the liquids is killing me ahshdudhdhd happy birthday 🎂
Lol me too!!!!! Bless her heart haha
lol I just replied the same thing. It cracked me. I don't know her but somehow it just fits what I do know :) If that make sense
It was both bothersome and endearing lol. Just the kind of chaos I expect from birthday baking vids. Happy birthday Kayla
Omg, thank you! They are different and you should use the correct ones to ensure you actually get the correct amounts. 😅
As a non-american, I was not even aware there wer different measuring cups lol
0:38 I'm imagining Kayla handing her baking pans to someone in the audience named Dan, like "Dan in California - yeah, you! Cut parchment paper circles around these".
It's "Dan from England"!
@@EmilyGOODEN0UGH they don't mean Dan as in her fiance, they mean Dan as in a stranger from an audience..
thoroughly enjoying the addition of the Dismayed Brit in the videos now. so so happy you’re together finally Kayla and Dan ♥️
I love how she used the liquid measuring cup for dry ingredients and the dry measuring cup for liquid ingredients lol. Anyways, happy birthday Kayla!!!
My OCD couldn't handle that.. but she smiled while did she it, so it made my OCD better.
Oh I'm so glad I'm not first to say it!
Wait there is dry and wet measuring cups? I live in Sweden and here there are only measuring cups and spoons.
@@tildebjervik3987 tror hon menade vanliga mått som man skopar med mot större mätglas/kannor man häller i
@@elleonora9714 ok tack ahaha fattade ingeting xD
Anyone else notice that Kayla’s kitchen has more stuff in it this time compared to last year? lol Thank you Kayla. I thoroughly enjoyed this. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Thanks for normalizing vegan baking! I’ve been vegan for years and it’s so nice to see people with a big following posting vegan stuff (:
you know when they start saying, "it's fine. everything's fine." YOU'RE DAMN SURE IT ISN'T. 😆
happy birthday, Kayla! 🥳🎂
"She's not my friend, she doesn't know who I am." LMAO
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you enjoy your day with fam and Dan!
“I’ll be fine” and “But that’s okay” should be a moto for all bday cake videos from now on
Happy birthday! Small tip: when using ganache, it can be helpful to wait until it cools and can be spread/piped easier, or if you're pouring it/it's still warm, to do it on a cooling rack so the excess can drip down and not puddle. Great job, it looks delicious!
As a professional Cale baker and decorator 10/10. Vegan baking is especially challenging as the chemistry is difficult but I adored watching this even if I cringed a bit too. Happy Birthday Simsie!
“Cale” 😩😩😩🖐🏽
Caleee oml its cake lollll
Bake me a cake Bake me a cake Bake me a cake Bake me a cake
im a professional kale baker too
cale! 😂🤣
cream of coconut is actually different from coconut cream! coconut cream is unsweetened and more, well, creamy, and cream of coconut is sweetened and syrupy, and it’s usually used in tropical drinks :) i just learned this as i was trying to make pina colada cupcakes and wasn’t sure if i bought the right one lol
Thanks! This is good to know.
You'd be surprised how many people make that mistake.
How were the cupcakes and did you like them? Did you enjoy getting caught in the rain?
Tip for next time, when you're making buttermilk or almond equivalent, you add the lemon juice/vinegar first then fill to make a cup. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
It’s very “max and ruby” mud cake and I mean that as a big compliment! That cake always looked so good to me lol
watching this as an european is an emotional rollercoaster : the measurements, the spray you used to grease the pans…
happy birthday simsie !!
Agreed
And all these big packages of stuff like baking powder or even flour bag seems to be weirdly huge
@@unhappy8076 so true !!
A little pro baker tip: Do not open your oven before the cake is ready or at least almost. Depending on the ingredients it might not finish properly and stay wet in the middle even if you put it back into the oven
And might sink in the middle!
You can open it to check it, just don’t over do it.
@@LangkeeLongkee not true. Its one of the first things you're taught in culinary school
@@theekatspajamas opening the oven one time won't cave the cake. I didn't go to culinary school specifically but I did study Food, Nutrition and Health, I had to bake cakes and make full buffets as assignments.
@@LangkeeLongkee it depends on how airy the cake is. I did go to culinary school, where I learned how to actually bake things, and not just whats healthy for you to eat or not. Its not just that the cake might not rise right, but also letting heat out isn't good for a multitude of reasons. There's a reason we have lights in ovens
Beautiful cakes are never a priority, (and rarely an outcome) in my kitchen. But they definitely taste good. So I would say that was a success!
Pro tip, use the liquid measuring cups (clear ones with handles and spouts) to measure the liquids (almond mink), and the dry ingredient cups (the red scoops) to measure the dry ingredients like flour and sugar.
Kayla’s channel was a constant comfort for me throughout high school, and now I’m getting ready to move to college :) thank you Simsie!!
omg same bestie
Me too lol
LMAO the chaotic energy of this entire video, but my favorite was the "add the boiling water slowly" Kayla: pours all the boiling water in at once 😂😂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Space saving kitchen idea. See if you can get your hands on some butcher block that would cover your sink area. It's easy to take on and off the counter and will give you a lot more space to work with. Love the chaos of this video, this is me everytime I go to bake.
the lag is real. BUT HAPPY BDAY KAYLA! GOD BLESS U!
Happy birthday, Kayla! That cake is a pro gamer move.
Fun tip for a parchment paper circle:
Tear off a square
Fold square in half
Fold in half again
Find the corner where all the corners meet: hold that corner and fold it into a triangle shape
Do that a second time
Take your weird triangle and measure it up against your pan (pointy corner towards the edge, bigger flatter side to the center of the pan) find roughly the middle of the pan. snip across the paper triangle where the center of the pan is in a straight line (better too big than smol, you can always cut more)
Unfold and voila ! Paper circle.
I just put the parchment paper in the pan I'm using and use my nails(clean hands/nails of course since I'm cooking) or a knife to score a line around the edges. Much quicker then all that folding lol. Both ways work, whichever you've been doing the longest is quick but I still stay just smushing it in the pan and doing a quick scoring is quickest.
are we all going to ignore how pretty simsies kitchen is? Its like she took items straight out of cottage living and put them into her house.
I just love Dan's commentaries throughout the video! Hilarious! 😂😂
Also, the cake is cracked because probably you put it in the fridge while it was hot.
When she pulled out the dry measuring cup to do liquids , I knew it was gonna be wild
And then she used a liquid cup for dry XD
I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that! She’s too chaotic when baking
hey simsie!! just a tip for the future, its WAY easier to mix dry ingredients first then to mix wet into it after (at least thats what my mom taught me was easier)!! and softly mixing the dry with wet ingredients before using the hand mixer is less messy bc the hand mixer's lowest speed setting is still pretty fast so the powders wont fly everywhere! Happy birthday, you two look like you had a blast :D
Agree! It is significantly easier
My favorite part is her using the dry measuring cup for the wet ingredients and the liquid measuring cup for the dry ingredients 😂
Kayla, I think the reason the frosting tasted bitter and/or weird is because you used Hershey's special dark cocoa powder. Whenever I've used it, whatever I was making has turned out bitter and weirdly dry. I don't know what they do with it, but you can't make 100% pure cocoa powder any darker (e.g. a higher ratio of cacao to other ingredients), so whatever it is it's not actually making a darker chocolate.
If you made a cooking show that was like this every episode, I think everyone would watch it.
Anyways, happy birthday!
She definitely reminds me of Julia Childs. Look her up on UA-cam if you don’t know who she is
Measuring spoons are for dry ingredients (but the teaspoons/tablespoons can be used for liquid) while the measuring cup is for liquid measurement
I‘ve had so much fun watching this video 😂 No need for perfectionism, your lovely amount of chaos is great!
Congrats on turning 15, my favourite Kayak! Watched the vid last year and loved it so I know this is going to be good ❤
Wait was the 15 part a joke? Lol if not shes 22 😅
😂😂
@@rms7828 not to mention..KAYAK, auto correct strikes again!
Both Kayak and being 14/15 are jokes on her streams
@@brooke4502 oh i see, my bad lol! Just started watching her since I dloaded sims the other day. Welp have a good birthday then, KAYAK.
kayla is not only an epic gamer but she is an epic baker too 😂 happy birthday kayla!!
ayy fellow caitlin
@@noodlearg9745 heyyy haha
Using her dry measuring cup for wet stuff and the wet measuring cup for dry was just... adorable.
Girl a few tips for next year.
1. When you add the dry ingredients add them in batches of 3, when they are roughly combined. Obv sift first
2. If it says add slowly.. IT MEANS SLOWLY
3. Level your cakes girl haha, just cut out the dome
4. When you add the ganache and you want a cute drip, use your spoon for the drips and then just pour the ganache to fill in the rest of the top
5. The rest you did fine, congrats
Watching this as a European is quite painful. The measurements are just so weird. But it makes for some good entertainment :)
And here we see a wild Sim improving their baking skill
Ooh I remembered a tip for if you don't have a piping bag! You get a snack, sandwich or just whatever small, clean, square, plastic bag you have and cut the corner of the bag and then you have way to pipe frosting!
i started watching your videos consistently at the start of 2020 so i didn’t get to see much of you and dan but omg now i’m obsessed- couples channel???
13:05 I'm sorry I died laughing because that's literally me when anything I've been baking for a while is finally done. Happy birthday Kayla!
beep beep... BEEP BEEP!!!
Same! 😂
kayla - you're using liquid measures for solids, and solid measures for liquids
you can get resealable bags from ikea that are big enough to hold the flour/sugar bags!! it means that when you open or pour the actual ingredient it doesn’t go over the floor and instead stays in the bag so you don’t waste any (or have to spend half your life washing flour off the floor)
i love nora cooks recipes!! i’ve tried this chocolate cake because my niece is allergic to milk and eggs and this is the only cake she is able to eat and love!!! we make it every year for her birthday 🥺🥺🥺
This is adorable. I'm so happy you guys get to actually bake together.
Edited to add: when you opened up the stove and both went "OOOooooo", I DIED. SO CUTE. I am also beyond impressed that this did not turn into a food fight.
“Fluffy” 😂 I tend to call it “dusty” which I guess is significantly less appetising than fluffy..
You can bloom cocoa powder in hot water and it makes it slightly richer and also gets rid of the lumps and makes it less messy! You only need a small amount of water and can whisk it until it becomes a paste
Please tell me Dan brought a kettle, how on earth do Americans survive without a kettle?!?! 😭
You can actually buy a kettle in the US! Americans just… don’t haha.
We have kettles? Why do British people think Americans don't have kettles?
@@roselalonde5046 ive never not had a kettle in my house growing up🤣 im addicted to tea!
My family always had kettles growing up, and I have one, as do all my friends. Some Americans love tea lol.
Quite easily. I actually have one and I just don’t use it. I don’t understand why British people are so obsessed with us not having kettles.
Trick for cutting the parchment, cut a square from the roll, and then fold it in half diagonally a couple times (like you're making a paper snowflake) and then line up the inner corner with the middle of the pan and cut the outer corner to line up with the edge of the pan. Unfold and check the size, you might still have to cut off a bit more but i find this method much easier than trying to free-hand a circle :D
just place the pan on the parchment paper, outline the circle and cut it.
Lilsimsie quotes:
“I pooed myself in the front 😩”
“I’m mixing a lump right now 💅🏼”
“Oh yeah. That looks soft 😎”
“Ew! It’s all on the inside! 😖”
“*gasp* beep beep! 😮”
“Fingies crossed its fine 🤞”
Just lip smacking 👅👄
“I tasted it with my fingers 😋”
I am in no way making fun of Kayla I just think it’s funny.
you forgot "i tasted it with my fingers"
Oh you two!! You used your dry measures for liquid and your liquid measure for dry!! Oh and for your parchment (for future) you just fold the sheet like a paper airplane basiccally, then put the point in the center of the bottom (like a radius) and then cut the other end of the paper where it hits the edge of the pan. When you unfold you know have a perfect circle!! Lol!! This was fun though!!
omg my new favorite baking youtuber, so relatable whenever I try to bake a cake. Messes... Messes everywheree
Hope your birthday is going amazing Kayla!! So glad that you get to spend it with Dan :)
Happy Birthday! Just a top tip when baking with butter, chop it into smaller pieces before mixing (it helps i have made lots of mess in my kitchen before i found this out) also if you have powdered (icing) sugar or cocoa powder try putting a tea towel over the bowl and slide the hand mixer through a small gap this helps to limit the mess :)
I love these baking videos so much. I mean, I love all your videos, but these are so especially heartwarming.
Like, I watch a lot of baking videos, and I like them (obviously), but I do get kinda annoyed when a professional baker is like, "This is SO easy and foolproof! You cannot mess this up!" and then they're making puff pastry by hand and stretching it into
Simsie holding the handmixer: "I have a weapon!" Happy Birthday Simsie!!!
Happy Birthday 🥳🥳🥳!!!
Video idea: Give yourself a birthday party in The Sims 4 because you can’t have one irl.
I'm really excited to see Simsie up her baking skill each year. I think you reached level 5!
I know you have an entire channel of Sims content, but your baking videos are my absolute favorite
also thank you for making a vegan cake💘💘 you’re always so thoughtful of other people. huge fan of you Simsie! 🥰🦄
the way she said "It's okay you did a good job!" AAWN SHE'S SO CUTE ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy Birthday, Kayla ✨
I can’t have dairy due to a casein intolerance so it made me happy to see how you made a vegan (dairy free) buttercream!
i love how she used the dry ingredients cup for the liquids and then the liquids measuring cup for the drys 😭🫶
Dan helping out is so adorable. I needed you guys to be living together and I didn't even know it.
We just need a playlist of all of the videos of her making a cake for her birthday
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
happy birthday!!
wow first comment! :)
Pro tip from a young home-baker who has made several 3+ layer cakes and lots of buttercream: if you have to mix something powdery with butter or other liquidy things with a mixer without wanting it to go everywhere, premix it with a fork or something along those lines
pls the "u did a great job", AND HER SMILE🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Omg happy birthday may the next year will be happy and joyful. Enjoy companionship, love, patience. Embrace inspiration and curiosity. Have a good birthday weekend!
I love that she does this every year, I remember sending my bf her video baking a cake last year :)
21:56 🎼🎤HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU; HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR KAYLA ; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU🎼🎤
Yah
If you take a zip lock bag. Put it corner down into a cup, with the top folded over the rim of the cup. And then fill the bag of frosting, cut the tip of the corner off and now you have a piping bag
As a baker I am having anxiety attack watching this, but Its so fun to see simsie in the kitchen 😊
The stickers on the bottom of the pans were giving me anxiety.
Seriously! The cake decorator in me is holding my breath BUT I love watching other people play in the kitchen and I love Simsie more.
happy birthday! I would definitely recommend purchasing The Joy of Vegan Baking if you're looking for an easy and delicious chocolate cake/chocolate buttercream frosting recipe! been making it for birthdays, etc., for years
