Tracy Bear here with Young Hollywood. I am standing outside Georgetown Cupcake in LA, and I am so excited because I'm about to talk to the co-founders and sisters Catherine and Sophie, and they're going to show me how to bake some amazing Young Hollywood cupcakes. Let's go. In the kitchen with co-founders and sisters Sophie and Catherine. Hi. Welcome. Thank you. I'm like freaking out right now because this is just I just all I want to do is eat right now. I mean that's all I want to do is eat every single cupcake in the store. You've written two books and you have the most recent one here, Sweet Celebrations. And your first book was called The Cupcake Diaries.

Well the first book, it's our story. It tells how we grew up as sisters baking with our grandmother and the inspiration of starting our bakery. And the second book it's more about celebrations, more how-to, how to decorate cupcakes, set up for parties. Um a lot of special occasion cupcake recipes. Now and another thing you guys are also stars of your you have your own hit show called DC Cupcakes on TLC. Sergio, Victor? Where are you guys? Coming! Can you guys finish um doing the top of her hair with cupcakes? Catherine and I need to um figure out what she's going to be holding. Okay? I already know what she's going to hold. I'm going to make um hamburger cupcakes.

We recently just an episode on Coney Island. It was a fun summer episode. We built a giant a gigantic mermaid out of cupcakes for the mermaid parade. It was wild, and you know Coney Island normally has a hotdog eating contest as part of like their summer tradition. We actually did the first ever cupcake eating contest. Um and you'd be surprised who won. It was a 90 lb girl who won, who out ate all of these huge guys. And she ate over 80 cupcakes in eight minutes. It was incredible. It was insane. I think that was. Do not ever let me enter that because I will I will win that, I swear. And our first place finisher in the Coney Island National Cupcake Eating Championship.

This individual in eight minutes ate a total of 71 cupcakes. One of the best competitive eaters in the world. Ladies and gentlemen, Stephanie Well, I'm excited because you're going to show me how to bake today. Yes. And I guess let's get started. Sure. So first we're going to show you how to make our blue velvet cupcake. This is a twist on our traditional red velvet cupcake. Our red velvet is our most popular a flavor, but because of your um Young Hollywood colors, we decided blue is the way to go for today. We are making gourmet Young Hollywood cupcakes for the first time ever, and I love it. Blue velvet. Our colors are blue and white. It's perfect.

So, the first thing we're going to do before we get started baking is we're going to preheat our oven to 350° F. And we're going to line a cupcake pan 12 liners. You can use any color you like. We've got some brown ones here. Then we're going to get started on our batter. Um in our mixer, we're going to put one and a half sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature. Um in our bakery, we love using something called Plugra butter. It's a European-style butter, which is great when you're baking with pastries for. And then we're going to add one and three-quarter cups of granulated sugar. And we're going to cream the butter and sugar together until it's nice and light and fluffy.

About to be on a serious sugar high. And we by the way, we have to just point out this mixer. I don't think you've ever seen this anywhere except in any of the Georgetown Cupcake stores. You'll see a bedazzled diamond mixer. You have to tell us the story of how that came about. Well, the first mixer we ever bedazzled was for my bridal shower. Sophie got as a gift. We collect KitchenAid mixers in every single color. And so she wanted to get me one that I no one had. So, she got a pink one and it was bedazzled in pink Swarovski crystals. And then ever since we got that one, we thought well, we have to have one in every single store. So.

Okay, so now our um butter, sugar are nice and light and fluffy. You'll see it looks great. So, we're going to add two eggs. I'm going to crack two eggs and add those to the batter. I'm not the best egg cracker, but I'm going to try. Oops. I just got that on me. Oh, it's fine. Put that in here? Yeah, it's perfect right there. We definitely just got some egg batter on my shirt, but that that's how it works when I have should not have me cooking in the kitchen. So. Oh, what is this? Trying to do it like a pro. Now we're going to um add the base that's going to actually make our cupcakes blue. We're going to add two and a half tablespoons of cocoa powder.

And we're going to add um one teaspoon of um vanilla extract, four tablespoons of blue food coloring and it's a blue no-taste food coloring. And you guys also do, you know, gluten-free cupcakes, which is really awesome because a lot of people are really into the whole gluten-free craze. Yeah. We're ready to add um some um all-purpose baking flour um flour. And we've added a little bit of salt and the um we're going to add um some milk as well. So we're using whole milk. You can use skim milk or non-fat. Yes, just a little milk. Yes, just a little milk. Yes. Just a little. Yes. Just a little. Yes. Just a little. Yes. Just a little. Yes. Just a little. Yes.
