| Screenshots from the feature! (Video link below) |
Basically, my old high school's film production class contacted me earlier this month. They contacted me to ask if I'd be interested in filming an alumni piece (note: I literally just graduated last year! haha) due to my unique hobby in baking and how I started "Karess's Kreations." I'm pretty sure I didn't hesitate at all to agree to do this right after I had read my messages. Honestly, I've always [secretly] wanted to be somehow featured in an episode of NTV (Northwood Television) hehe. I mean, I guess I can't say that I've never been on NTV. I've been in the background of features in the past, mainly, for spotlights whenever dance shows at my school were coming up, but I'm pretty sure I was the only one who could actually see that I was in the background haha. So I guess it's safe to say that one of my high school dream(s) has been fulfilled, even if it was completed after graduating from high school...?
So yesterday, my friend, Tiffany and I went on campus to view the feature live. *I should add that it was Tiffany's birthday. What a trooper, right?! What kind of friend would wake up early on their birthday just to go to their former high school to see a little mini feature?! Don't worry I made her some cupcakes which I'll show later on in this post! However, a lot of students didn't know that we'd be coming to campus. So when we went to an advisement (we went to Tiffany's brother's advisement.. thank you again, Mrs. Guy!) they all gave us a confused look but continued to proceed in watching the NTV segment. When my feature finally came on, I couldn't help but want to run away like a little girl. I don't know why but I find it extremely uncomfortable to hear myself talk. Am I weird? It took awhile for the students in Mrs. Guy's advisement to realize why Tiffany and I would randomly be in her advisement. However, when the clip of me cutting out a piece of the ombre cake out, students started to flip out. When that happened, Mrs. Guy told them that I was the girl being talked about/talking in the video. Thankfully, most of the confused looks started to fade away haha. By the end of it all a few students started asking me questions such as, "are you going to open a bakery?!" and "wait, you graduated?!"
I still find it funny that people don't necessarily believe me when I say that I graduated from high school already. In fact, last week I came on campus to film with my former advisor, Mrs. Crowley! When I was on campus I had passed out a few cupcakes to random students I didn't even know. I thought it was a nice gesture, no? Turns out that election week was coming up and a few students thought I was actually trying to bribe them to vote for me. I assured them that I had graduated but I don't think I convinced them well enough... Long story short, they took some cupcakes for themselves anyways. Hahaha.
Back to Mrs. Crowley! Soo if you're reading this Mrs. Crowley... I cannot thank you enough for taking the time out to come film!! Honestly, Mrs. Crowley is one of the nicest teachers I've ever had in my life! For the people who aren't aware of what's happened in these past few months.. let me say that Mrs. Crowley was the teacher that I had done the baby shower for back in January. I believe that was the last time I saw her before seeing her again last week? Any who, she had her baby literally I think a month or perhaps even just a couple days shy of a month ago!! Crazy!! I mean, I would have loved if she'd be available to interview for me. Although, I knew that she had just had her baby so I totally would have understood if she could not make it! Being the saint she is, she ended up coming! I don't know how I can ever thank her for this!
Okay, I think I have written waaaaaay more than necessary.. oops..
Any who, here is the video!!
I was told that the feature will be posted on YouTube within about a month so if a FaceBook account is required in order to view this video I will repost the YouTube version as soon as I can!

Earlier in this post, I mentioned that it was Tiffany's birthday as well. This year has been quite the change among my friends and I when it comes to celebrating our birthdays, mainly due to the fact that no one has actually been home during their birthdays. So this was a first for me this year. But I thought it wouldn't be very me if I didn't at least do something for Tiffany! I thought that in order to be somewhat I guess, fair (?) to the rest of my friends (for not being able to bake for their birthdays), I would start with making Tiffany mini sized cupcakes of her favorite flavor (pb chocolate chip)! Why minis? She commented once when I made minis of the flavor and said that because she found the flavor to be too decadent, that she thought mini sized were the perfect size. Luckily I remembered her saying this so that's essentially what I did for her! I also attempted to take a couple of the cupcakes to make a "cupcake cake" that was in the shape of a sun but that didn't look very nice... You can judge for yourself but please don't be too critical! It was my first time trying to attempt the whole "cupcake cake" thing.. :|
