00:00Oh, hi there. Welcome to Sesame Street. I was talking about baking with Cookie Monster and Gonger.
00:12Oh, hi guys. Hi Rosita. Hi Elmo. What's up?
00:17We just found something out. Today is Luna's birthday.
00:21You know, you're right. It is her birthday. I forgot.
00:25We should bake our cake.
00:28Cake? That is a great idea Chef Gonger.
00:32Did someone say cake?
00:34That's right. Today is Nina's birthday.
00:37Well, then you are in luck because...
00:41You have a most amazing baker right here.
00:44You?
00:46Yes, me. Who do you think? I will bake Nina the fluffiest, lightest, moistest, yummiest cake ever.
00:55We will bake Nina the fluffiest, lightest, moistest, yummiest cake ever because we are Monster Foodies.
01:06Sounds like we have a competition.
01:09Did I hear someone say competition?
01:11Yes, but...
01:12Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the great Sesame Street Cake Off.
01:15I'm your host Michael Che and today these two teams, Cookie Monster and Gonger,
01:19Grover and Alan, but me,
01:24will face off in a competition to find out who can bake the very best birthday cake.
01:31And of course every competition needs judges.
01:34They aren't old enough to bake, but these two sure like cake.
01:37Meet Elmo and Rosita.
01:41Bakers, you have one hour. That's 60 short minutes.
01:44Let the great cake off commence.
01:49What just happened?
01:52Okay, we got one hour, so we got to move fast, Chef Gonger.
01:55What do we need to make cake?
01:57Oh, you know what we got to do?
01:59We got to check the recipe.
02:02For cake we need flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk.
02:15Okay, here are all the ingredients.
02:18Wait a minute, Cookie. What's the butter?
02:21Butter? Oh, me thought that was floor wax.
02:25Floor wax?
02:27Guess not.
02:28Valuable lesson, never butter the floor.
02:31Cookie, we need to get more butter.
02:34Well, where are we going to get more butter, Chef Gonger?
02:37From the store.
02:38Oh, the store. Yeah, that easy.
02:40Okay, me going to go to Hooper's and get more floor wax.
02:43Butter.
02:44Yeah, right, floor butter.
02:45No, no, no, just butter, Cookie.
02:47Butter, Cookie.
02:48Oh, Cookie, I'll get the butter.
02:50You stay here and mix the ingredients and hurry.
02:53Yeah, okay, mix ingredients. Yes, me got it.
02:59Okay, okay.
03:09Grover, you took all of the butter.
03:12That is correct.
03:13My special super-duper buttercream frosting takes lots and lots and lots of butter.
03:20All of it, in fact. I will be in the back.
03:25To the supermarket.
03:29The cake-off is underway. Let's check in with our judges.
03:33Will Gonger get to the supermarket and back in time? Who knows?
03:37Meanwhile, Alan has all the ingredients measured out and he's carefully mixing them together.
03:42Let's go to the booty truck where Cookie Monster is also mixing ingredients.
03:49Back in Hooper's store, Alan is using the mixer to cream the butter and the sugar together.
03:54And now he's adding the eggs and vanilla.
03:57And back in the booty truck.
03:59Mixy, mix.
04:00Okay, where's milk?
04:02Oh, there's milk.
04:04Okay.
04:06What's this?
04:07Socks.
04:09Oh, no. Me left socks out of cake.
04:12Oh, where's socks?
04:13Oh, there they are.
04:15Okay.
04:18Oh, this is interesting.
04:20Notice how Alan takes turns putting the dry ingredients and the milk into the mixer.
04:25That keeps the lumps out.
04:26Yeah, you know, that's a good idea because nobody likes a lumpy cake.
04:30I want a sort of kind of cake.
04:32No, don't eat it.
04:36Gonger?
04:37I'm back.
04:38Oh, good. You just in time.
04:40Gonger, you never told me that you ingrediented cake.
04:43Cookie, stop. Put me down.
04:47Cookie Monster, what are you doing?
04:51Well, me following the recipe.
04:53That's not the recipe.
04:55This is the recipe.
04:57You mix everything up.
04:59Oops. Oh, no.
05:01Me make mistake.
05:03Me ruin cake.
05:05Me give up.
05:07Me feel like me knock something over.
05:11Oh, me dead.
05:13Me spilled the milk.
05:15Oh, me a terrible baker.
05:19Oh, look at that.
05:20Spilled milk.
05:22Oh, this is gonna be a problem.
05:24What are they gonna do?
05:26Oh, Cookie Monster.
05:28I see you upset.
05:30Let's just calm down and take a deep breath.
05:33Look, like me.
05:42Yeah, it's all right.
05:44That's more milk.
05:45It's okay to make mistakes, Cookie.
05:47It's no big deal.
05:49We can fix this together.
05:51You know how I know?
05:53Because we are...
05:56We are...
05:58Monster Foodies.
06:00Yeah, that's right, big boy.
06:02We're Monster Foodies.
06:04Okay, me feel much better.
06:06Yes, now me no give up.
06:09Okay, what we do, Chef Gonger?
06:11Now, we go back to the recipe.
06:16What an amazing comeback.
06:18I've never seen anything like it.
06:20Will they be able to finish on time?
06:22Let's go to Hooper's and see how Alan and Grover are doing.
06:25With only minutes left to go,
06:27Alan is carefully pouring the batter into the cake pans.
06:34And into the oven it goes.
06:40Okay, the waiting is over.
06:42The cake is done baking.
06:44Alan is taking the cake out of the oven.
06:46Now, the two parts of the cake need to cool,
06:48so Alan is putting them on a wire rack.
06:50And now, it is time for the frosting.
06:52Whoops.
06:54Butter fingers.
06:56Now, literally, my fingers are actually covered in butter.
06:59Grover.
07:02Time's almost up.
07:04And five, four, three, two, one.
07:09And that's it.
07:11But, now it's up to you two judges
07:13to pick the winner of the Great Sesame Street Cake-Off.
07:17And now, for the judgment round.
07:20All right, it's time to unveil your cakes.
07:22What have you got, Alan and Grover?
07:24Well, we have a cake.
07:26But no frosting.
07:28Chef Gonger, Cookie Monster?
07:30Well, we got the frosting.
07:32But we no could finish cake on time.
07:36Well, looks like it's up to the judges.
07:38Elmo and Rosita,
07:40who was the winner of the Great Sesame Street Cake-Off?
07:43Okay, okay.
07:45Okay, okay.
07:49We decided there shouldn't be a contest.
07:55Rosita and Elmo are right.
07:57Making a cake for our friend Nina
07:59should not be a contest.
08:01Yeah, well, why don't you work together?
08:04Yeah, Judge Rosita and Judge Elmo think
08:07that Cookie and Gonger's frosting
08:10should go on Alan and Grover's cake.
08:13Oh, yeah.
08:15What an amazing turn of events.
08:17And what a great idea.
08:19I've literally never seen anything like it before.
08:21Astounding.
08:22All right, come on, everybody.
08:24Let's put our cake and frosting together
08:26and make Nina a great birthday cake.
08:28Yeah, let's do it.
08:30All right.
08:35That looks good.
08:39Happy birthday.
08:41Wow.
08:42You make this cake for me?
08:44Thank you. Gracias.
08:46Well, I did have some help.
08:48Actually, we all worked on it together.
08:51Well, then, what do you say we all enjoy it together?
08:54Oh, good idea.
08:58And that's it for the Great Sesame Street Cake-Off.
09:01And now, I'm going to have some cake.
