Kids cook up YouTube clips

Tarneit siblings Emily and Jacob are bringing their brand of unique humour to YouTube.
The pair, who are aged nine and 11, have started their own YouTube channel.
Although they have only posted five videos so far, the clips have attracted more than 800 views since last month.
The videos star Emily and an alien puppet named Nugget, as her co-host.
Jacob is both the puppeteer and voice of Nugget.
In the videos, which teach youngsters about craft and cooking, Emily is the straight-talking presenter while Nugget provides the comedy.
Jacob and Emily said they were inspired to start making YouTube clips after their father Robert showed them some old-fashioned comedic videos, such as Abbott and Costello.
They pair said they were also inspired by their favourite YouTubers including LazarBeam, InquisitorMaster, Pewdiepie and stampylonghead.
The brother and sister usually rehearse before filming and manage to create their videos in one take, with the occasional re-take.
Jacob said he and Emily were not expecting their videos to attract hundreds of views.
“We thought 50 was a lot and the first video is over 400 now,” he said.
During one of their videos, they make edible Yum Yum Balls.
“Every time we paused for a moment, I would lick the spoon. I loved it,” Emily said.
“What I enjoyed most is eating it afterwards, and seeing the end product.”
Their ideas for future videos include an episode featuring Lego and another where Emily makes ice cream in moulds.
