Joy the Baker. The Podcast, 1.

Written by joythebaker on February 26, 2008 – 6:24 pm -

I love to cook. I like to share. I have watched countless hours of cooking shows, and I have a camera. All of those things can only add up to one thing: I made a podcast!

My first leap into podcast land is with Brown Sugar Apple Cheesecake. You’ll see the cake made from start to finish. You’ll see my beloved Kitchen Aid mixer. You’ll see my dorky face saying dorky things.

(If you don’t see a video player above, you may need to upgrade your Flash Player.) I know… don’t shake your fist at me! Just in case, here is a YouTube version (lower quality) of the same podcast after the jump.

I’d love to hear what you think! Let me know if you love it, or if I should go kick rocks. You can find the post and recipe for Dorie Greenspan’s Brown Sugar Apple Cheesecake here. Stay tuned for Poddcast 2: Fondant

Serious Apple Yum.

    You are so freaking cute! Great video! I didn’t join TWD when you all made this cheesecake so it was fun to watch you make it again. Can’t wait for the Podcast #2-Fondant!

    Wow! And then again – WOW!! Where can I start? The video was so professionally made and edited, you are beautiful and did the podcast gracefully, like everyone else before me said – you are a natural! And last but not least – I loved the way you tweaked with the recipe. Waiting breathless for your next, this one was a delight to watch (and a good way to finally “meet” you :)

    Joy, I’m seriously impressed by the quality of your podcast! Especially as I’ve done small video things myself and never felt happy about the quality when viewed online. Would you like to tell me what kind of output settings you used?
    Looking forward to seeing the next one!

    Lucy says:

    wow that was so interesting being able to actually see the cheesecake being made and i love the idea of having less middle and more crust because the crust is obviously the best bit! please carry on doing these podcasts and posting them on your blog for those who want to watch but do not have a video ipod! fondant sounds interesting too next time!

    Nikki says:

    I’m way behind on getting through my google reader posts, but OMG Joy, that was amazing! You did such a great job hun and you’re adorable! I love it, you need to make millions of these hehe

    My only complaint is that my hubs watched it with me. The week TWD made the apple cheesecake my stove was broken, so it didn’t get made. G saw the gingersnaps and was like “Hey, I bought you gingersnaps to make this … when do I get it?” So thanks, right in the middle of MB baking you remind my hubs of the delights he missed out on :P

    joythebaker says:

    Nikki- Tell your hubby to wait a spell, and enjoy his MB cinnamon for the time being!

    Awesome podcast! I thought you did a great job engaging the audience through the camera and coming off as pretty natural. The quality of the film was excellent (did you use a regular hand-held camera?), and the transitions were good. I can’t wait for the next podcast!
