00:02 Welcome to Straight Out the Box,

00:13 the show where we take two cakes that came out of this box

00:16 and turn it into something awesome.

00:18 Let's get started.

00:19 So today we are gonna be working

00:20 with Perfectly Pumpkin Cake.

00:23 We're also going to be working with Pumpkin Box Cookies

00:26 and Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls.

00:29 I laughed my ass off when I found all of this pumpkin stuff.

00:33 So I am super excited for this and also very curious.

00:38 So let's get started.

00:39 So after I baked my cakes,

00:40 I baked my cookies and my cinnamon rolls.

00:42 Now for the cinnamon rolls,

00:43 all I did was follow the instructions on the package.

00:46 Before the cookies, I changed it up a little bit.

00:48 I wanted to make it so that they would all be different sizes

00:51 so I took two portions and created one giant cookie

00:55 and then we have the smallest cookie

00:56 and then I wanted even smaller cookies

00:58 so I cut one portion in half

01:00 to create two smaller cookies.

01:01 All right, and they've been cooling for like a day now.

01:06 I'm curious about these cookies.

01:08 Should I eat one?

01:09 Oh, good job store.

01:13 You did a good job store.

01:14 So now we're gonna create some frosting for our cake.

01:16 First, I'm going to take two 16 ounce packages

01:19 of cream cheese and then add them to a bowl.

01:21 Then I'm gonna add in 16 ounces of butter.

01:23 Now you wanna make sure everything's at room temperature

01:26 so it's easy to mix.

01:28 And once that's combined,

01:29 we're gonna add two cups of powdered sugar.

01:32 And once it's done,

01:34 we're gonna place it into a Ziploc bag.

01:36 So we only have two more things to do.

01:41 We're gonna take our cinnamon rolls

01:42 and we're gonna cut them in half.

01:44 Sometimes when I'm making cakes,

01:45 I like to soak the cake in simple syrup

01:48 but because we are working with all pumpkin stuff,

01:51 I'm gonna soak it in pumpkin spice latte.

01:55 Oh, this is good.

01:56 This is really good.

01:58 I'm gonna take my pumpkin spice latte

01:59 and I'm just gonna pour it into a Ziploc bag.

02:02 Then I'm gonna cut a little bit of the tip off

02:04 just so it'll be easy to pour on top of the cake.

02:06 All right, we can start assembling this baby.

02:09 Let's do it.

02:10 First, I'm gonna cut a hole into our pastry bag

02:12 and then I'm gonna add a dot onto our cake stand.

02:14 Now I've cut our cakes into three separate layers.

02:17 The top layer, I'm gonna save for myself

02:19 and the two bottom layers

02:20 are what we're gonna use for our cake.

02:22 Place our first layer on,

02:23 then soak it in some Starbucks.

02:26 And then pipe out little dots of our cream cheese frosting

02:30 and then add our next layer of cake.

02:32 Then we're just gonna repeat the exact same process

02:35 until we have all four layers stacked on top.

02:37 Now once you're at the final layer,

02:38 I'm gonna soak it with our pumpkin spice latte

02:41 and then cut into our cake just a little bit

02:43 so I know where to place our cookie.

02:45 And I'm gonna place another cookie.

02:48 Then we're gonna dot the top with some cream cheese frosting.

02:51 Add our cinnamon rolls to the bottom.

02:54 Place the cinnamon glaze on top of that.

02:56 Dun-na-na-na!

02:59 And there you have it, your pumpkin spice

03:02 pumpkin everything cake.

03:04 I don't even know what to call this.

03:06 Notice I only used three of the cookies

03:08 and only like one and a half cinnamon rolls.

03:11 Now I'm not really allowed to cut into this yet

03:13 because it's for a party.

03:14 Wait, I got cake scraps.

03:16 I got cake scraps!

03:17 All right, so I've got a cookie with some frosting

03:20 and the top of the cake soaked in Starbucks.

03:23 Let's try it.

03:24 My mouth feels like a majestic pumpkin patch.

03:28 Oh my gosh, soaking it in the pumpkin spice latte

03:31 was the best thing I could have ever done.

03:34 It leaves such a deep flavor in your mouth.

03:37 It goes so well with the cream cheese.

03:39 It's just so delicious.

03:40 I keep eating the frosting from the back of the cake

03:45 'cause I know nobody will see it.

03:47 That's disgusting.

03:49 You're gross, JK.

03:50 Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this.
