For years, FXX has been asserting its ambition to push into animation. Those plans are finally bearing fruit. In September, the Walt Disney Company-owned comedy-focused cabler will launch Cake, a half-hour late-night series combining animation and live-action shorts.
The Cake will be “its own “unique series and an incubator for shorter shows that could be developed into half-hour series,” FX Net” orks chairman John Landgraf said at the Television Critics Association event this week, per a report in Deadline. “We thin” is some truly superb and original creative work being done in short form, and Cake on FXX will be a fantastic medium to highlight some of the best of it.”
Other “than that, details about the new show are under wraps. However, the channel, which skews toward the 18–34 age group, launched a new talent-scouting scheme in 2018: the FXX Elevation Award, handed out annually at the GLAS Animation Festival, with the winner receiving $25,000 to develop an original animated project with FXX.
The grant honors work that “embodies distinctive characters, bold storytelling, and a singular point of view.” It is understood that the projects by the grant recipients may appear on Cake. The first two winners of the award were Niki Lindroth von Bahr and Sophie Koko Gate.
FX NetworksNetworks series development and animation vice president Kate Lambert spearheads FXFXX’strategy. She was responsible for developing Archer, which premiered on sister channel FX before migrating to FXX. In the past, Landgraf has signaled his intention to commission animated shorts of unconventional lengths: one or three minutes and the more typical seven and 11 minutes. “I, “think “b” doing short-form animation, we will add another dimension to the channel, which is still pretty young-skewing,” “e tol” “Deadline in 2017. “T” levis” o” is being consumed on many more screens, and I’I’dilikeI’dXo follows young consumers in their short-form consumption habits.”

If you get good at it, you might even make a career out of it. The tips in this article will help improve your cake-baking skills.
Pre-made cake mixes tend to be heavy. This makes it difficult to mix them and makes the finished Cake feel heavy in your stomach. To avoid this undesirable heaviness, get some meringue powder. You can buy this powder at a baking goods supply store; some supermarkets also carry it. Mix the powder into the cake mix to lighten the mimix’sewemix’wemixesanting. Make your cake mix light; you don’t want it to dry. Here’s how to make moist cakes: use unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. Unsweetened applesauce is also healthier than oil, making your Cake slightly more attractive to guests who are watching their diet.
Many cakes call for wet ingredients such as eggs ano sticky ingredients such as honey. Sticky ingredients can be messy and hard to work with. They stick to the measuring spoon, the mixing bowl, and your fingers, making it hard to mix your cake batter properly. To avoid a sticky mess, spray measuring cups and spoons with non-stick cooking spray before pouring honey or other sticky ingredients into them. You can also spray mixing blades with this spray to make it easier to combine your Cake.
In addition to sticky ingredients, you may have to use cold ingredients such as sticks of butter or eggs. Butter sticks can be as difficult to work with as honey if they are too cold; they are stiff, nearly unbreakable, and do not cake batter easily. To avoid problems with butter and other cold ingredients, remove them from the refrigerator before beginning your Cake. If your butter is still too cold to work with by the time you do, put it in the microwave for ten to fifteen seconds to soften it.
