STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, IT'S CYBERCHASE FOR REAL!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME OUT, KELLY.
THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.
WHEN THE NETWORK SEES THIS AUDITION TAPE, THERE'S NO DOUBT THEY'LL WANT ME TO BE THE HOST OF THEIR NEW COOKING SHOW!
MAKE SURE THE FOOTAGE MAKES ME LOOK REALLY GREAT.
YOU KNOW, GORGEOUS, TALENTED, APPEALING.
I'LL GET WHATEVER YOU GIVE.
GOOD MORNING!
TODAY I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE A YELLOW SPONGE CAKE THAT'LL BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF ANY BIRTHDAY PARTY.
IT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS.
NOT ONLY IS IT DELICIOUS, IT'S FOOLPROOF!
MOVE ON!
THE RECIPE CALLS FOR TWELVE EGG YOLKS... ELEVEN.
(CLEARS THROAT) FIRST ADD TWO CUPS OF SUGAR.
YOUR MEASUREMENT IS OFF.
BIANCA: NEXT, TWO CUPS OF FLOUR.
YOU'RE ADDING TOO MUCH FLOUR.
OUR NEXT INGREDIENT REQUIRES THE USE OF A TEASPOON...
WHICH I DON'T HAVE.
OH, BUT I DO HAVE A QUARTER TEASPOON.
TO ADD TWO TEASPOONS OF BAKING POWDER, I NEED TO FILL THE QUARTER TEASPOON EIGHT TIMES.
(CLEARS THROAT) WHILE I'M DOING THIS, I SHOULD JUST TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF.
I HAVE A DOG NAMED MOJO, AND MY HOBBIES INCLUDE BIKING, HORSEBACK RIDING, RUNNING, AND CAMPING.
ARE YOU KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MUCH BAKING POWDER YOU'RE ADDING?
I COUNTED TWELVE QUARTER TEASPOONS.
NO MORE COMMENTS!
YOUR JOB IS TO KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING!
AND FINALLY, A HALF A CUP OF WATER.
IN 30 MINUTES, MY HEAVENLY CREATION WILL BE BAKED.
THE AROMA IS INTOXICATING!
IF ONLY THIS WERE SMELLIVISION!
OH, NO!
THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!
I WANTED TO MAKE A BIRTHDAY CAKE, NOT A PANCAKE.
OH, NOW MY CHANCES FOR HOSTING THE SHOW ARE RUINED!
YOUR OVEN MUST BE BROKEN, KELLY.
AND WHY ARE YOU TAPING ME NOW?!
YOU TOLD ME MY JOB WAS TO KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING.
MY OVEN'S NOT THE PROBLEM.
I'LL SHOW YOU.
BEFORE WE STARTED TAPING, YOU DIDN'T GET OUT THE MEASURING TOOLS YOU NEEDED.
YOU USED A COFFEE CUP INSTEAD OF A MEASURING CUP, AND THEN YOU OVERFILLED IT.
THEN YOU LOST COUNT WHEN YOU WERE ADDING THE BAKING POWDER WITH THE QUARTER TEASPOON.
SO?
WHEN YOU FOLLOW A RECIPE, ADDING TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE OF ANYTHING WILL AFFECT THE RESULT.
EITHER TOO SWEET OR TOO DRY, OR IN THIS CASE, TOO FLAT.
YOUR OVEN MUST BE BROKEN, KELLY!
AND WHY ARE YOU TAPING ME NOW?
OH, KELLY.
I AM SO SORRY.
I KNOW YOU WERE STRESSED CAUSE YOU WANTED THE TAPE TO BE GREAT.
I'LL REDO IT WITH YOU.
WHY DON'T I TAKE YOU TO LUNCH INSTEAD?
OKAY.
AS LONG AS SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING THE COOKING.
NO PROBLEM.
