      I agree 100%, but I still have a grudge against Penny after her cookie episode. I tried to make those chocolate chip cookies, and what I ended up with was... giant slab of something that used to resemble cookie mix, with decorative salt sprinkled on top, and a couple of weird green hairy bits (don't ask). ...I fully realise this was my execution rather than Penny's recipe, but I choose to blame the bad instructions anyway, because self-delusion can be as fulfilling as actual achievement!

    Penny not needing to level her cakes was heartbreaking. That's the best part of the cake. Especially when it's still slightly warm.

    okay for real though, if I have a bunch of sprinkles just sadly fall out of a cake and the center of the slice is just... that, along with all that booze, I'm going to be so disappointed. Emily's is perfect for me. I love it.

    • @lilbatz
      @lilbatz 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That cake is perfect as a show piece. For that extra bougie office party, gender reveal, graduation party (the nonpareils are the color of the university the high school graduate is going to) it's amazing.
      I hate hard sprinkles and nonpareils. Booze is an issue where I live because so many people don't drink for a variety of reasons. I'd probably be stuck with 3/4 of a cake.
      I've seen a variation of tiny mini brownie squares stacked in the middle instead of the sprinkles. That was really cute

Also her humor and overall personality is very lovely. (We'll make it pink, so Epicurious knows I care.)🥰 She genuinely amuses me. And I really enjoy the Penny the teacher. You can say she's so used to teach it, one hand on the mixer, relaxed, explaining nicely..and booze. I like booze. She likes booze.

      @John Syzlack Penny was putting alcohol in majority of the dishes she cooked on Epicurious, which is where the joke came from. It wasn't like she put alcohol in her dish one time and it suddenly became a meme. Since she's been doing it long before it became a running joke, it's not a stretch to assume that any time she does it after isn't just for the sake of that running joke.
      That said, you do have a good point, but it personally doesn't bother me. It is just entertainment, after all, and I as a viewer do not want to assume I know them personally just from watching videos of them cooking. It doesn't particularly matter if they are doing it for the act, because ultimately, we are here for the act.

      What Penny is exhibiting is that her work is serious, and it requires a training to achieve a specific type of success. Yet, in todays world, this is now rivaled by anyone who has access to the internet and THINKS they’re a professional baker. Same thing with an artist, musician, etc - there’s this need nowadays to have to justify what it actually means to be an artist with a discipline. I wouldn’t walk into an office and pretend to be an accountant, because it’s my “hobby” or “releases my stress.” It’s work.
