For the first time, iconic cookie brand Nestle Toll House is sponsoring a series on YouTube, and in doing so, it has turn to a chef with a bright disposition and a charming demeanor. Ashley Adams, co-founder of the Feast Of Fiction YouTube channel, is the host of Bake My Day, a cooking web series that makes use of Nestle Toll House products.

She even adds in a bit of Alton Brown-esque goofiness for good measure.

Upcoming Bake My Day episodes will throw some wrinkles into the show’s formula.

On November 20th, Katniss Everdeen will reintroduce herself to moviegoers with the release of Mockingjay - Part 1, the latest film in the Hunger Games franchise. And the marketing efforts for the flick are catching fire.
