How To Make MACARONI AND CHEESE...out of CAKE!! Orange velvet cake and cream cheese frosting!

It's how to cake it Tuesday .

And today is all about cacao and cheese .

One of my favorite foods is macaroni and cheese .

So I got to thinking , how can I cake it ?

How can I ca aro and cheese it ?

I'm gonna show you how we're gonna bake a cake .

We're gonna put it in a beautiful little pot and we're gonna top it with cream cheese frosting and I'm gonna transform jelly bellies to look like macaroni .

So let's get started and don't forget if you haven't subscribed , subscribed .

This is what happens when you have big lips and curly hair .

It's like flies to a trap while our orange velvet cake is baking .

We're gonna make some white chocolate and ash and that's gonna act as our cheese sauce .

Oh It's warm , white chocolates already melting .

Finally it's warm in Canada .

Yay , chop your chocolate as fine as you can .

That will just help it to melt faster .

One day we should switch me out with like a Japanese master and then in the close up , it's like , hey , we need to chop , we need to put our chopped chocolate into a bowl , chop , chocolate , chopped chocolate , chopped chocolate , chopped chocolate .

And then we're gonna take an equal amount of cream .

I'm gonna do this in the microwave because it's so little .

I'm gonna put it on for about a minute .

This is awkward .

I didn't think about what to talk to you about while I was waiting for the microwave .

Can they see me ?

I need a wooden spoon .

Let me get that .

Oh , it's bubbling .

We're gonna pour the cream directly over our chocolate .

We just want to trap in the heat for about 10 minutes somehow .

Magically , 10 minutes is up .

Now that our gnash has sort of started to melt .

We're gonna stir it together gently .

Just stir in the middle .

Just add a little , little bit of orange at a time .

Onion .

I like to put like a drop on the side and then just stir it in .

Imagine your favorite delicious creamy cheese sauce .

That's the color we're looking for here .

Let's set our ganache aside to cool completely so we can put it on our macaroni later .

And in the meantime , we'll take our cake out of the oven and we'll make some cream cheese frosting .

I chose cream cheese frosting for obvious reasons because it's cheesy and it's delicious .

It's actually really easy to make .

There's only four ingredients anyone can do it .

We're gonna start by adding cream cheese to our mixing bowl along with some vanilla and we're gonna put this on our mixer and beat it for a few minutes just to soften it and get out any lumps .

Once the cream cheese and vanilla looks nice and smooth , we're gonna scrape down the bowl and the paddle and then we're gonna add our butter and when you add your icing sugar , have your mixer at the lowest speed and add it little by little .

Otherwise it will be all over you .

I'm gonna scrape down the bowl once again , make sure all of the sugar is in the mixture and now I'm gonna turn it up just a little bit higher to medium speed to really incorporate everything .

Our frosting is looking nice and smooth and velvety which will go perfect with our orange velvet kate scrape it all into the bowl .

Don't lose any frosting .

Our cake is nice and cool .

We have our cream cheese frosting , gonna take this baby out of the pan and we're going to level the top , cut off the top with a ruler and a serrated knife .

I'm actually very curious to see how the color came out .

Are you ready ?

Oh , it looks like cheddar cake , but we are gonna cut it in half .

So we have room for our frosting .

Our cake is ready to be cut into circles because I'm actually gonna present these cakes in little individual pots .

So I premeasured these pots and I know I need a bit of a smaller circle for the bottom and a bit of a larger circle for the top .

So we're gonna cut the bottom half of our cake with a smaller cutter which is three inches round .

We need six circles and then we're gonna cut out our larger circle which is three and a quarter inches from the top half of our cake .

Perfect .

You take your little pot and we're gonna add the bottom circle of cake into the pot .

Look how perfectly it fits .

It's like I measured and then we're gonna put our cream cheese frosting into a bag fitted with a round tip .

What number is this tip ?

It's a number 805 .

So we're just gonna pipe a nice ring of this onto the cake at the bottom of the pot and then we're gonna take our top round cake , just squeeze it down , one down five more to go .

I almost said five more to go .

That's 10 .

All of our pots are filled .

We're just gonna top them off with a little bit of cream cheese frosting .

I'm gonna use a small offset palette knife just to spread this cream cheese frosting a little bit .

You're probably wondering what jelly bellies have to do with macaroni .

But I tried to think of something that kind of resembles macaroni , but that would be delicious to eat on a cake .

And I chose the white ones .

These are coconut flavor .

I'm gonna coat them in our cheesy .

It's like I'm making Oh my God , I could have made macaroni out of fondant .

I could have actually put fondant through a pasta attachment , but eating a pile of fondant is not that delicious .

So I thought jelly bellies would be way more delicious on our cacao and cheesecakes .

Now , we've got our macaroni ready .

We're gonna top our cakes liberally with our little jelly bellies .

Don't be afraid to get a little messy .

Don't be afraid if some of the jelly beans hang off the pot .

If you baked macaroni and cheese , for real , it would be oozing out of the pot .

That's the best part .

Do you guys think that's high enough ?

Because I think it's high enough .

I think it looks great .

Ooh , look at the cheese dripping down .

A ganache has set up a little bit .

You could see they're not moving around the jelly bellies , in my opinion .

All good macaroni and cheese needs to have bread crumbs and we're gonna recreate that .

And instead of bread , we're gonna use vanilla cake , we cut a couple of thin slices of cake and then I'm gonna butter them .

The last time I put butter on cake was in my grilled cheese cake video which is really fun .

If you haven't seen it , you should check it out .

You should just click right here at the end of my butter knife and now we're just gonna cut some cubes .

I feel so free .

No ruler .

No Symmetry .

Symmetry .

Symmetry .

Now just pile a few cubes .

More than a few actually on each one of your pots .

Oh , just let the crumbs for the cubes fall where they may and then we're gonna grate some cheese .

So , what I've made here is modeling chocolate , white , modeling chocolate , which is just white chocolate and white corn syrup melted together and then it sets , but before it sets , I colored it orange .

So we're gonna take it out of the pan .

Maybe it's like a slab of cheddar .

So let's grate our modeling chocolate into a pile and then we'll top off our caca roni and cheese .

I wanna put this on nachos , cake , nachos .

I have to write that down .

Someone write that down and this cheese is freaking me out because it's melting just like cheese .

It's playing with my mind .

I'm not done with these babies .

They need a nice crispy top .

That's the best part of macaroni and cheese .

So I brought my friend Bhutan .

You might have met him before butane .

Stand back .

Turn the heat on just a little bit .

You guys might wanna move back to go ahead .

Cake my day .

Slowly .

Go around the cake and brulee it gently .

Whoa It's melting like cheese .

I just thought of another finishing touch .

This is my micro plain .

I love it .

I use it for Zing but I was just thinking , you know , when you buy Parmigiano already grated , it kind of looks like dust or that's a bad example .

But you know what I mean ?

I'm gonna grate my white chocolate , which will be my parmigiano with my micro plane .

I am full of good ideas .

I should have a youtube channel .

I got deep macaroni and cheese .

Mm mm .

Mm .

Mm .

I totally expected it to taste like cheese .

I don't think I'm ready for this .

Jelly .

Beyonce was right .

She was this , I wasn't ready for this jelly .

And if you know Beyonce ask her to subscribe , imagine Beyonce subscribed .

I would just be like , I'm out .

I literally have like 10 jelly beans in my mouth .
