Rapping Chef cooks up delicious cinnamon rolls
As you can likely tell from his username, The Rapping Chef does exactly that and raps the instructions of his recipes over his shortform cooking videos.
A video he posted recently, showing followers how to make mouthwatering cinnamon rolls, has taken off on Instagram where it has picked up more than 12.5 million views and more than one million likes at the time of writing.
While rapping a tune that wouldnt sound too out of place on a Frank Ocean playlist, The Rapping Chef demonstrates the steps required to make a delicious batch of cinnamon rolls, complete with a glossy cream cheese frosting. Mmm, frosting.
Apart from the final reveal of the finished rolls, a particular highlight of the video is the online chef using a wine bottle to roll out his dough because I dont have a rolling pin. Incredible.
