Hey guys!

Drey here. 👋 I’m Jaden’s Writer & Creative Content go-to. You might remember me from my Platterful charcuterie board review or that time I haunted Steamy Kitchen for Halloween. You might not know this, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: our little team is mostly remote, and many of us are located in other states or even countries! Our beloved COO / Manager / the person who runs it all (she wears a lot of hats), Amanda, is somewhat of a digital nomad, based in Canada and Mexico! 

As one of the only local people on the team (here in Vegas), I spend a lot of time with Jaden, and if you lean in real close, I’ll tell you another fun secret: She’s a goofball. Of course, she’s smart and witty and has a ton of kitchen know-how and great lifestyle advice, but it’s not all perfect recipes and flawless execution. There are quite a few Steamy Kitchen bloopers along the way. So today, I wanted to peel back the curtain and show you some of the hilarity that ensues behind-the-scenes of Steamy Kitchen. 

The Great Cotton Candy Fiasco

This is one of my favorite Steamy Kitchen outtakes. 

Jaden mischievously about to get a sugar fix.

One time Jaden purchased a cotton candy machine for an event, and I happened to be there while she was still attempting to figure out how to use it. It started innocently enough. Jaden crushed up some sugar-free Jolly Ranchers to prepare for the cotton candy bonanza.

Then she poured it in the machine and turned it on. 

She grabbed one of those paper sticks and waited. And waited. And waited. Nothing seemed to be happening. 

Then it started. But just in whisps. And those whisps turned into a spider web texture. At some point, it became clear to both of us that she couldn’t contain the cotton candy to the machine, and before it we knew it, it was flying all over the place.

Soon, it was all over her. In her hair, on her clothes. Then it was on the plants. On the walls. On the dogs. It was EVERYWHERE. Jaden started this hilarious wheezy laugh. I was filming her with my phone, and it became difficult to continue without jostling the phone.

Instead of ending up with a few regular sticks of cotton candy, Jaden ended up with the world’s ugliest ball of cotton candy. 

Then we tried it again, and the results were EVEN WORSE. It was the funniest thing ever.
