Hey Bakers and Bakerettes!
Boy are we excited about this newest episode! I had been linking folks straight to the video bypassing my own website. Seems silly, I know. But for those of you who make it here to BakerMandess.com, I thought we’d give you a little something extra… a little backstage happenings… But First:
BakerMadness is Proud to Present
The Sci Fi Episode, The Trouble With Truffles
(we’ll get back to you after the show)
So how can we make all this possible? Well it all starts with an idea. Most generally we come up with some sort of wonky storyline and then decide on the dessert. Occasionally we think up the baked treat first and then fit a story around it. And once in awhile we get it all together in one Great Epiphany… as with the Trouble With Truffles.
I actually was watching an episode of Star Trek. It just so happens that it was the Trouble with Tribbles episode. Since the entire team are science fiction geeks varying degrees, we had been planning a sci fi episode since the very beginning (that’d be the end of 2008).
Other episodes seemed more important. And since we knew that our audience also held a vast array of sci fi/fantasy geeks… we knew it had to be spot on or look ridiculous. We wrote the episode over a 2 weekend stretch. It was probably one of the most deeply involved processes of any of our episodes to date.
Hope you enjoyed it, maybe next time we’ll put together a little backstage glimpse at how we build an episode…
Till then, Happy Baking y’all!
