[The camera cuts to Shawn, Jacob, and Hayes Drayton standing in the kitchen, looking awkward and out of place. Shawn is grinning like he’s about to get into trouble. Jacob looks broody, arms crossed, tattoos in full effect. Hayes leans against the counter, clearly bemused at being dragged into this.]
Shawn (grinning at the camera):
“Yo, internet. I’m Shawn, goalie for the Icebreakers.”
Jacob (deadpan, muttering):
“I didn’t agree to this.”
Hayes (raising a brow at Riley):
“I was bribed with...” (he wiggles his eyebrows then cuts his eyes to Riley.)
Riley (ignoring them, cheerful):
“Today’s challenge? We’re making hockey puck brownies. They’re dense, dark, and harder than Jacob’s slapshot. If you screw these up, they’ll double as actual pucks, so… multi-purpose.”
[Cut to the group surrounding the kitchen counter. Riley starts handing out ingredients.]
[Montage: Chaos ensues.]
Shawn dumps flour everywhere, giving the camera finger guns like it’s intentional.
Shawn (mocking): “Precision and accuracy—that’s what I bring to the table.”
Jacob, tasked with cracking eggs, smashes one so hard it explodes across the counter.
Jacob (grumbling): “This is why I stick to cracking opponents.”
Hayes, the perfectionist, is seen measuring ingredients meticulously while glaring at the others.
Hayes (snapping at Shawn): “Stop winging it, man. You measure flour like you’re blindfolded.”
Shawn (innocent): “I’m just vibing, bro.”
Riley laughs as she attempts to guide them, stepping in to stop Jacob from accidentally adding salt instead of sugar.
Riley: “Jacob. Taste-test it. Right now.”
Jacob (narrowing his eyes): “I’m sweet enough.”
[Cut to everyone gathered around the oven, watching the brownies bake like they’re waiting for a goal in overtime.]
Riley (to the camera):
“Turns out, teamwork in the kitchen isn’t much different from teamwork on the ice. You’ve got your chaos players—”
[Camera zooms in on Shawn spooning raw batter directly into his mouth.]
“—your grinders—”
[Shot of Hayes checking the oven timer like it’s his job.]
“—and your enforcers.”
[Jacob glares at a whisk, aggressively scrubbing batter off it like it offended him personally.]
Riley (grinning):
“But the real MVP is always the coach. That’s me. You’re welcome.”
[Cut to the finished hockey puck brownies on display: round, flat, and surprisingly beautiful. Riley holds one up.]
Riley:
“So, here we have it—our hockey puck brownies. Dense, delicious, and bonus, you can chuck them at your teammates when they refuse to pass the puck. Or your kitchen companions when they refuse to clean up.”
[She takes a bite and nods appreciatively.]
Riley:
“Turns out, even these three disasters can pull it together when they work as a team. Even Shawn, who I’m pretty sure hasn’t followed a single instruction all day.”
Shawn (leaning in, mouth full of brownie):
“I added chocolate chips. You’re welcome.”
Jacob (muttering):
“Of course you did.”
[Final shot: The team is gathered around the counter, holding plates of brownies. Riley grins at the camera.]
Riley:
“So, here’s today’s lesson: whether you’re on the ice or in the kitchen, teamwork makes the magic happen, even if it’s a little messy. And sometimes the best results come when you surprise yourself. Thanks for being here for my big reveal, and a shoutout to these guys for not burning down my kitchen.”
Hayes (to Riley, deadpan):
“Never invite us again.”
[Riley winks at the camera, holding up a brownie.]
Riley:
“Until next time—keep your passes crisp, your brownies gooey, and remember hockey players belong on the ice… definitely not in kitchens.”
Hayes:
“You sure about that?”
[Hayes lifts Riley onto the counter, and gives her a passionate kiss]
[The video fades out with the Icing the Cake logo over a close-up shot of the perfectly baked brownies, as hockey cheers echo faintly in the background.]
Comments:
@GoalieGloveGuy:
“Shawn is vibing and I’m HERE for it. Finger guns and flour everywhere? Classic goalie chaos.”
@BenchBossBaker:
“Hayes measuring flour with laser focus while side-eyeing Shawn is the epitome of defense vs goalie energy. Also, those brownies? Chef’s kiss.”
@HockeyHeartthrob:
“Riley coming out as the host is the plot twist we didn’t know we needed. That pink dress though… absolute power play.”
@PuckLife42:
“‘Taste-test it right now’ had me on the floor. Riley wrangling these guys like a coach in overtime is a whole vibe.”
@ZamboniSnacks:
“Okay, but can we talk about how Jacob glared at a whisk like it owed him money? That man brings intensity to EVERYTHING. We miss you, Jacob!”
@PenaltyBoxPrincess:
“Hayes snapping at Shawn to stop winging it is such big daddy energy. I need more of this kitchen chaos in my life. And more of that energy in my bedroom. Riley, you’re one lucky mama!”
@HockeyAndBakingFan:
“‘Hockey players belong on the ice… not in kitchens’. But also, please invite them back. This is the content I didn’t know I needed.”
@IceQueen85:
“Riley, you’re the queen of icing (and roasting). That reveal was worth the wait.”
@StickSideSnacker:
“Jacob muttering ‘I didn’t agree to this’ is the same energy I bring to family Thanksgiving. Someone protect this man.”
@RinkRatBaker:
“Hayes: ‘Never invite us again.’ Riley: invites them for every future episode because we need the chaos. And the sexy hockey players!”
@BrownieAndChill:
“Icing the Cake just became my favorite show. Hockey? Baking? A secret host reveal? Somebody call Netflix.”
@GoalieSavesAndCakes:
“Shawn for president. His campaign slogan: ‘I don’t follow the recipe, but I make it work.’”
