I chanced upon the Better Together BC website early this year and they were running a video contest. The video contest was all about bringing together food and fun in the kitchen by having two generations or two youth demonstrate how to prepare a recipe.
While I had taken many videos of Ryan baking in the kitchen, his videos never had me in it before so this was like a “OMG do i really want myself in the video” moment?? While I felt slightly shy and embarrassed of putting myself out there like that (hmmm no makeup and kitchen doesn’t look perfect) but what the heck I think. Who’s going to care anyway?
So there you go – our very 1st baking video together. The thing is when you do an amateur baking video with your toddler, there is no such thing as a retake LOL. It’s not like the toddler is going to cooperate and give you back an ingredient when you have already handed it to him. So PREPARING AHEAD is KEY!! Not kidding. My next post is going to be sharing my tips before you do a baking video with your kiddo. You can read the post here.
This is our 1st year of entering this contest but Better Together BC has hosted this contest for the last 10 years and I think it’s amazing what they do & that is to help everyone experience the joys of cooking and eating together. I can tell you that this wouldn’t be the last time we enter ourselves into this contest for sure!
While we did not win the Grand Prize or Runner up, we did win the People Choice Award of a $300 cash award, which means $100 for my baby’s RESP, the remaining $200 to two non-profit groups in our community.
The judges also awarded our video an Honourable Mention Award. Although this doesn’t carry a cash award, I feel really honored that the judges noticed how much our video did capture the spirit of their contest & that is to inspire other families to cook together more often.
We feel super super thankful & honored to win this as the only representation from the north. And we hope you enjoy our little amateurish baking video.
