>> JOINING ME IN THE KITCHEN TODAY IS YOGI TERRELL, DIRECTOR OF COLUMBUS FASHION ALLIANCE.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

>> THANKS FOR INVITING ME.

I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE.

>> GREAT.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THE FASHION INDUSTRY IN COLUMBUS THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW?

>> SURPRISING TO MANY PEOPLE, COLUMBUS IS THE THIRD LARGEST FASHION INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY, SO NEXT TO L.A. AND NEXT TO NEW YORK, COLUMBUS IS THE THIRD LARGEST.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT NOW WE'RE CHANGING THAT.

>> I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, PEOPLE WOULDN'T THINK NEW YORK, L.A., COLUMBUS IN TERMS OF FASHION.

I'M PROUD OF THAT.

>> WE HAVE A RICH HISTORY IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY FROM UNIFORMS DURING THE WORLD WAR, AND THEN SHOES, AND NOW THE BIG SPECIALTY RETAIL, AND NOW WE'RE KIND OF REINVENTING IT.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN OUR DNA.

>> I LOVE THAT.

THAT'S AMAZING.

I LOVED TO BAKE, SO I PICKED A RECIPE TODAY THAT ARE PUMPKIN SCONES WITH CARAMEL GLAZE.

>> YOU KNOW IT'S THE SEASON.

>> I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO GET STARTED, AND THEY'RE EASY TO THROW TOGETHER SO I'M EXCITED.

>> LET'S DO IT.

I'M GOING TRY THE HELP OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN.

>> FOR THE SCONES WE'LL NEED THREE CUP OF ALL PURPOSE FLOWER.

ONE-THIRD CUP OF SUGAR, HALF A TEASPOON OF BAKING SO DA, TWO AND A HALF BAKING POWDER.

QUARTER CUP GROUND GINGER, QUARTER CUP GROUND SIN MAN, ONE AND A HALF STICKS OF UNSALTED BUTTER AND ONE AND A QUARTER CUP OF BUTTER MILK.

ONE CAN OF PUMPKIN PURE RAY AND TWO TABLESPOONS OF VANILLA EXTRACT.

FOR THE BLAZE, TWO STYX OF BUTTER, ONE CUP OF FIRMLY BACKED BROWN SUGAR.

HALF A TEASPOON FRESHLY SQUEEZED LEMON JUICE, QUARTER TEASPOON COACHER SALT AND HALF A CUP OF HEAVY CREAM.

FIRST STEP IS MIX TOGETHER OUR DRY INGREDIENTS.

MAGIC OF TELEVISION, THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE BOWL, SO OWL WE NEED TO DO IS WHISK THEM.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

GENTLY WHISK.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE COVERED IN FALL SPICES RIGHT NOW.

>> I GOT STUFF TO DO TODAY.

>> YOU GOT A WHITE SHIRT.

DON'T WANT YOU COVERED.

MIX THEM UNTIL BLENDED AND INCORPORATED.

THAT'S PRETTY WELL MIXED.

LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE LIKE A WHISKING PRO.

OUR NEXT STEP, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR BUTTER, PUT IT IN HERE, AND THEN WE GET TO GET OUR HANDS IN.

I'M GOING PUT THE BUTTER IN, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE DRY INGREDIENTS.

REALLY ALL YOU'RE DOING IS BLENDING IT TOGETHER.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

JUST GET IN AND WANT TO GET THE DRY INGREDIENTS AND SWISH THE BUTTER IN.

THIS WILL JUST KIND OF INCORPORATE THAT BUTTER INTO THE DRY INGREDIENTS.

SAME METHOD AS MAKING A PIE DOUGH, REALLY, CUTTING THE FAT INTO THE DRY INGREDIENTS.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A WELL.

SO REALLY WE'RE JUST GOING TO SPREAD THE INGREDIENTS OUT SO THERE'S A LITTLE AREA, CAVITY IN THE MIDDLE, AND THIS IS WHERE WE ADD OUR WET INGREDIENTS.

OF COURSE, THE PUMPKIN.

WE'VE GOT THE BUTTER MILK, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR SCONES, AND THEN SOME VANILLA.

WE'RE JUST GOING TO PUT ALL THAT IN THE MIDDLE.

I'LL ADD THE BUTTER MILK.

GET THAT IN.

IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS, YOU CAN SCOOP IN THE PUMPKIN.

AGAIN, THIS IS PURE PUMPKIN PURE PUREE.

IT'S NOT THE STUFF THAT HAS THE SPICES IN IT.

>> STRAIGHT UP PUMPKIN.

>> MM-HMM.

WE'LL GET THAT ALL IN.

I'LL GET THAT OFF THE WAY.

SCRAPE THAT IN.

GOOD IDEA.

GET ALL THAT GOODNESS.

THEN WE GOT THE VANILLA.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO USE OUR HANDS TO BASICALLY FORM THIS INTO A DOUGH.

SO YOU JUST WANT TO USE YOUR HANDS TO MIX IT TOGETHER UNTIL IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AND THE DRY IS INCORPORATED WITH THE WET.

IT'S A SOFT DOUGH.

DOESN'T GET LIKE BREAD DOUGH.

BUT IT IS A LITTLE BIT MESSY!

YOU JUST KEEP GOING.

YOU CAN GET IN THERE IF YOU WANT TO.

I THINK THAT'S PRETTY WELL MIXED.

WE'LL TRY TO GET SOME OF THIS OFF AND THEN WE CAN DO A HAND WASH.

OKAY, WE HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL DOUGH.

>> LOOKS GOOD.

SMELLS GREAT.

>> SMELLS AMAZING.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF FLOUR I'M GOING TO SPRINKLE ON OUR TABLE.

YOU CAN DO THIS AT HOME ON A CLEAN COUNTERTOP.

THIS IS A NICE SPACE TO JUST KIND OF SHAPE THE DOUGH.

I'M JUST PUTTING FLOUR BECAUSE THIS IS SUPER STICKY AND THIS WAY IT HOPEFULLY WON'T STICK TO THE SURFACE.

I'M JUST GOING DUMP IT OUT.

THEN -- GET ALL THAT GOODNESS.

MIX TOGETHER.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS AND JUST GET YOUR HANDS COATED IN SOME FLOUR.

>> OKAY.

>> SO THAT WE CAN KIND OF -- >> I'M FROM AKRON, SO THIS IS LIKE LO LeBRON WHEN HE GOES INTO THE COURT.

>> I LOVE IT.

GET THE FLOUR.

AND THEN JUST START PATTING IT INTO AN ABOUT 1 1/2 INCH DISKS, SO PRETTY TALL.

WANT TO GET THEM NICE AND TALL.

THEN WE'LL START CUTTING OUT THE SCONES.

THIS IS A BISCUIT CUTTER.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE YOU CAN USE A GLASS, WHATEVER.

I LIKE TO GET FLOUR ON THE EDGES SO IT DOESN'T STICK TOO BAD.

THEY DON'T SPREAD TOO MUCH.

I SAY WE COULD GET SIX ON THERE.

GO STRAIGHT DOWN.

IF IT COMES UP, GREAT.

IF NOT I HAVE A HANDY DANDY OFFSET SPATULA THAT I GO IN AND LIFT THE GUY UP.

THEY'RE VERY FREE FORM.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.

OKAY, I THINK OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN SCONES LOOK GREAT.

THESE ARE READY TO GO IN THE OVEN.

WE'VE PREHEATED TO 425, AND THEY BAKE FOR ONLY ABOUT 12 MINUTES.

>> THAT'S IT?

>> YEAH.

POP THEM IN.

HERE THEY GO.

WHILE OUR SCONES ARE IN THE OVEN, WHY DON'T YOU TELL US HOW THE COLUMBUS FASHION ALLIANCE IS CREATING OPPORTUNITY COLUMBUS YOUTH.

>> SINCE WE FOUND OUT IT'S THE THIRD LARGEST FASHION INDUSTRY, ONE OF THE THINGS WE THOUGHT IS HERE'S A WAY TO IMPACT THE YOUTH, AND ESPECIALLY YOUTH OF COLOR, THEY ARE CONSUMER OF IT.

WHY NOT START TO POUR BACK INTO THEM?

ONE OF OUR BIG PLATFORMS IS OUR YOUTH PROGRAMMING.

WE LAUNCH A COUPLE BIG PROGRAMS INCLUDING FUTURE FASHION.

IT'S WHERE WE TEACH YOUTH OF COLOR EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FASHION INDUSTRY.

WE TEACH THEM DESIGN, PRODUCTION, MERCHANDISING, VISUAL MERCHANDISE, MARKETING, AND THEN WE HAVE THEM DO CAPSTONE PRODUCTS WHERE THEY CREATE THEIR OWN COLLECTION AND DONATE 3,000 PIECES OF CLOTHING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY WILLIAM A KNOW THAT PROGRAMS LIKE THAT WILL NOT ONLY TEACH THEM ALL ABOUT THE FASHION INDUSTRY, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS BEFORE IT HITS THE SHELVES BUT ALSO GIVE THEMSELVES A NEW FUTURE, A NEW PATHWAY, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO HERE IN COLUMBUS, OHIO, THAT MANY CITIES CAN'T DO THROUGH FASHION.

IT'S EXCITING TO SEE HOW IT'S BEEN COMING ALONG AND SEE HOW WE'RE CHANGING THESE KIDS' LIVES.

WE HAVE OTHER PROGRAMS WE'RE LAUNCHING THIS YEAR JUST FOR YOUTH.

>> THAT'S AMAZING.

SEEMS LIKE A GREAT WAY TO SET UP THE NEXT GENERATION WITH SUCCESS AND THE CLOTHING.

>> IT'S A WIN WIN.

WE GET TO MOVE THE FASHION INDUSTRY FORWARD BUT CREATE OPPORTUNITIES THAT IMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS RIGHT, RIGHT.

I LOVE IT.

>> THAT'S AMAZING.

OH, YEAH.

HERE THEY COME.

SO, WE'RE GOING TO LET THESE COOL FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND WHILE THEY COOL, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A CARAMEL GLAZE WE DUNK THEM IN.

WHILE WE WAIT FOR THESE TO COOL, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE FASHION ALLIANCE AND WHY WE SHOULD ALL BE INVESTED IN THESE INITIATIVES.

>> I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.

IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE REALLY, IS THAT THROUGH THE LENS OF FASHION WE CAN DO SO MUCH FOR OUR CITY.

NOT ONLY HELP THE YOUTH, BUT YOU THINK ABOUT WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT.

WE CAN CREATE NEW JOBS.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

BUILD A NEW ECONOMY FROM THE EXISTING INDUSTRY WE HAVE, AND ALSO IT'S VERY COAL IN FASHION.

IT CAN BRING TRAVEL AND TOURISM TO OUR CITY.

FASHION CAN HELP COLUMBUS SOLVE, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES.

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO BEAT THAT DRUM AND MAKE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS, BUILD THAT ECONOMY, THAT ECOSYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW COLUMBUS TO RAISE OPPORTUNITY, RAISE AWARENESS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

EVERYONE BENEFITS.

>> EVERYONE BENEFITS, RIGHT.

>> OUR SCONES ARE COOLING.

WE'LL LEAVE THEM ASIDE, BUT WORK ON THE NEXT STEP, MAKING THE CARAMEL GLAZE.

WE'VE GOT A SAUCE PAN OVER LOW HEAT.

WE'VE GOT TWO STICKS OF BUTTER.

WE'RE NOT MESSING AROUND.

THEY'RE NOT LIGHT AND DAINTY.

TO THIS, ADD THE CUP OF BROWN SUGAR.

WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF LEMON JUICE AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF SALT, BECAUSE SALT AND SWEET IS ALWAYS GOOD.

THIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE UNTIL THE BUTTER MELTS TO REALLY COME TOGETHER.

ONCE THE BUTTER MELTS THIS WILL REALLY START TO LOOK LIKE A SAUCE.

AND THEN WE'LL LET IT COME TO A LOW BOIL AND THEN WE'LL ADD HEAVY CREAM AND THAT WILL MAKE IT THICK AND CARAMELLY.

THEN WE'LL DUNK THE SCONES IN.

ABOUT TO GET REAL.

>> IT'S ABOUT TO GATE REAL.

>> I'M GOING TO ADD THE HEAVY CREAM THEM MIGHT BUBBLE UP A LITTLE BIT.

WE'LL STIR THAT IN.

THIS JUST NEEDS TO STIR ON LOW HEAT FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES WHILE IT THICKENS UP AND BECOMES A CARAMEL SAUCE.

WHILE I DO THAT, WHY DON'T A TELL ME HOW YOU GOT INTO FASHION IN THE FIRST PLACE.

>> I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF FASHION.

I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN AKRON, OHIO, DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BACK THEN, SO YOU KIND OF HAD TO MAKE WHAT YOU COULD OUT OF YOUR OWN CLOTHES.

YOU TAKE THE T HAD SHIRT, TRY TO TURN IT INTO SOMETHING.

ROLL UP YOUR JEANS.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTO FASHION, HAD TO CREATE FASHION OUT OF NECESSITY.

WHEN I FOUND OUT COLUMBUS WAS THE THIRD LARGEST FASHION CITY I WAS LIKE, HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO BRING BOTH OF MY PASSIONS TOGETHER, STRATEGY AND MARKETING, AND THEN MY PASSION FOR FASHION.

>> PASSION FOR FASHION.

>> I KNOW, RIGHT?

I KNOW, RIGHT.

SO REALLY I HAVE BEEN INTO IT AND I'VE DONE SOME THINGS IN FASHION OVER THE YEARS, BUT I REALLY TURNED IT UP OTHER THE PAST FIVE YEARS THROUGH THIS INITIATIVE.

>> OKAY, THESE HAVE COOLED ENOUGH THAT WE CAN HANDLE THEM.

OUR GLAZE IS READY TO GO.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS DUNK.

I'LL SHOW YOU ONE.

YOU BASICALLY HOLD IT BY THE BOTTOM AND THEN DUNK IT SO THE TOP GETS COVERED BY THE BLAZE.

THAT'S REALLY ALL YOU DO, AND THEN BOOP.

>> LET ME TRY.

>> YOU WANT TO TRY IT?

>> SURE.

>> GRAB THE BOTTOM GENTLY, AND TILT SO YOU HAVE ENOUGH CARAMEL, AND DUNK IT.

IF IT.

FAS IN, WE'LL SCOOP IT OUT.

MIGHT BE A LITTLE HOT ON YOUR FINGERS.

CAREFUL THERE.

>> LET'S EAT SOME.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

>> HEY, I'M ALREADY TASTING THIS.

>> THE CARAMEL?

PRETTY GOOD.

>> THAT IS REALLY GOOD.

>> JUST EAT IT WITH A SPOON.

NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW.

>> HERE'S TO ALL OF OUR HARD WORK.

>> YEAH.

>> MAN, THAT IS GOOD.

>> ISN'T THAT SO GOOD?

>> YEAH, YEAH.

I ALWAYS WONDER ON THESE SHOWS IF IT'S REALLY GOOD.

>> IS IT REALLY GOOD?

>> IT IS REALLY GOOD.

GREAT.

>> CARAMEL'S NOT TO SWEET BUCK ALSO THE SCONE ISN'T TOO SWEET.

THE CARAMEL HELPS.

TASTES LIKE FALL.

>> IT IS.

LIKE FALL IN YOUR MOUTH.

THANKS SO MUCH.

>> THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> WHAT DO YOU GOT?
