The Video Transcript: A Message from the Creator

"I've missed you," said the creator, looking directly at the camera with a warm smile. "Come on in, many of you know I paused this channel to focus on some other things like my big book club this set being on Crime Scene Kitchen but most importantly my new book Lay Her Up." The creator's enthusiasm was palpable as they began to share their excitement about the upcoming release of their book.

The creator explained that they wanted to create a comprehensive guide for bakers, combining over 20 years of experience into one place. "You can pick a project and make a whole cake but you can also use the recipes individually," they said, highlighting the flexibility of the book. The creator also mentioned that they included a mix-and-match guide, allowing readers to create their own unique treats using fillings like brownies, cheesecake, and key lime pie.

For the creator, baking was more than just a hobby – it brought joy into the world. "Guys baking means the world to me and it's not just for the reasons you would expect," they said. "I think it brings so much joy into the world." The creator also shared that their YouTube channel was proof of the power of baking to bring people together, and they wanted to continue sharing that joy with their community.

The creator expressed gratitude to their audience, who had been instrumental in helping them achieve their dreams. "I've been able to connect with over 4 million of you through this channel and it was the most fabulous experience of my life," they said. The creator's biggest dream as a cake decorator had always been to have a book that would become a New York Times bestseller, and now they had one.

One of the ways to get on the New York Times bestseller list was through pre-order sales, according to the creator. They asked their audience to please pre-order the book to help them accomplish this goal. The creator also shared a memorable moment from their first year on YouTube, when they asked their viewers for 5,000 subscribers as a birthday gift and received over 100,000 instead.

The creator emphasized that their community was the reason they had returned to YouTube, and they were excited to share more content with them. They invited viewers to pre-order the book by clicking on the provided link below the video. Additionally, the creator mentioned that fans who wanted a signed copy of the book could join them on Talk Shop Live this coming Tuesday at 8pm EST.

Finally, the creator shared some behind-the-scenes information about their new set, which featured a fun game called "What Are Our Neighbors Doing Now?" The creator also revealed that they had brought a wind machine to add a touch of drama to the video. As they wrapped up the message, the creator expressed their gratitude for their audience's time and enthusiasm, and looked forward to sharing more content with them in the future.
