    Food is one of the fastest growing categories on YouTube.

    So it was a natural for for me to attend VidCon 2015, a convention of 20,000 passionate video creators and fans, in Anaheim, California this past weekend.  Gaming, music, fashion & beauty are still the major draw, but this year foodies had their own session! I got to meet YouTube superstar Rosanna Pansino, creator of Nerdy Nummies with over 4 million subscribers to her channel!  I also me Aussie Elise Strachan, the queen of cupcakes who runs a YouTube channel called MyCupCakeAddiction that has over 1.8 million subscribers.  These ladies are leading the way for how-to-and-entertainment cooking channels.

    I met so many other fun and nutty YouTubers, all who are enthusiastic and very creative!  The one thing everyone has in common is a love to create. I also discovered one other area that YouTubers have in common  - a love of Italian food!

    So I decided to interview YouTubers for ideas for my next recipe and video.  Watch the video to find out what was the winner!

    Special thanks to the following people for participating in my video!
