Visit To Tastemade Studio in Santa Monica

As you may know, my daughter, Rachel has her own YouTube channel called Kawaii Sweet World:  Kawaii in Japanese means "cute". She shares her passion of baking and crafting on this channel.

About a year ago, she was asked to be a partner with Tastemade, a company that focuses on food videography. Recently, she was invited to film some of her videos down in their studios located in Santa Monica. Here's some pictures from our trip.

The studio has 4 primary kitchens/areas. Below is the bar set.

The kitchen below is called the Contemporary kitchen - love it!

The kitchen below is their Brooklyn kitchen...

At the studio, they have an amazing chart artist. I loved these pieces...

  

Rachel also made some videos with another popular channel that came from Japan: Mosogourmet. They call it a "co-lab"...two channels create one video together.

Normally, it's the mother that makes the videos on the Mosogourmet channel - but this was the first time their daughter, Fusa, was on tape.

Rachel and Fusa were making cookies together. The one challenge was the language barrier as the entire family only spoke Japanese.

During the filming, the guys were sitting back watching...

In the Brooklyn kitchen, Rachel filmed making mini Hello Kitty parfaits.

Another video Rachel made with Fusa was making clay charms...

During our visit, Tastemade was also hosting a BBQ contest...

 It was very cool to sample all the food!

Rachel met two of the company founders...

It was such a fun trip...I'm so proud of my daughter! She took lots of footage and the videos from this trip, will take awhile for her to edit into videos!

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
