1000 subscribers… In the world of big-name YouTubers, this number comes across as a drop in the bucket; a figure that seems insignificant in the world of Pewdiepie, Strictly Dumpling, Binging With Babish and many more. But to a small Youtuber who started making videos for fun (and to cope with the mess that is 2020), it’s something surreal. Over the course of nearly 9 months, over 1000 people have deemed that the content I produce is worth a subscription and return to the channel for more. Whether you’ve only recently subscribed, or if you were one of my day 1’s (sorry about the horrible lighting and awkward pauses in audio, good lord those first few videos were awful) I sincerely thank you for all the support you’ve given me and the Anime Kitchen channel. To celebrate us hitting this momentous milestone, we’re taking a stroll into the iconic world of Studio Ghibli and recreating the High Tea platter from Spirited Away. In this episode we’ll be making a beautifully light and airy vanilla chiffon cake covered in a lemon swiss meringue buttercream, two types of Japanese butter cookies, and some cute little jelly cups. Once again, thank you guys so much for all the support and I can’t wait to keep cooking for you all and hopefully get to see more of you recreate these recipes too! With all that being said, pull up a chair, unfurl that napkin, and welcome to the Anime Kitchen!
