The Real Birthday Cake
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 @ 8:58 AM
Hmmm. As said, I will make baby a cake. Due to time problem, I didnt manage to get the ingredients to bake the cake. Instead, I bought a marble cake and modified it. Let the pictures do the talking.
Melt the chocolate, with or without nuts
Add in 2 eggs for 250g chocolate. ^^
Stir in till mixed evenly.
Place it into another bowl when done and refrigerate it.
Place the marble cake on a flat plate.
I dont like it to be too thick, so i sliced it into 3 portion.
Put on a good amount of half frozen chocolate
Hehe. I'm very clumsy.
The knife went flying off and landed on the floor.
Big mess!! Baby, you better thanks me. XD
Put the second layer on.
Leave the third layer, coz too thick.
Leave it to refrigerate.
Icing time,
Grease the bowl with a good amount of FATS,
I mean butter. =D
Put in the colour marshmallow into the bowl,
& heat it for 20 seconds in the microwave to melt it.
You should have a semi-liquid texture like this.
Mix the melted marshmallow with icing sugar!!
It'll be really messy doing it,
Just keep adding icing sugar till it become a dough like the picture above.
Place the marshmallow on a flat board, or whateva that is flat
Flatten the marshmallow
Make it really really smooth.
I know mine is not really smooth XD
Get the cake from the refrigerator and butter it.
To make sure that the icing dont fall off.
Place the icing on top of the cake.
Get a smoother. And smooth out the surface.
Cut the extras off.
Tuck the icing into the bottom of the cake.
& leave it into a cake casing.
Last but not least, Decorate it.
AND I KNOW MY DECORATION IS UGLY!!!!!
So, SHUT UP!!
Taa-Dah!!!
Although I didn't bake the cake,
But i did decorate and modify it.
Muahaha.
I hope it wont be too sweet. XD
Even if it doesnt taste good,
It's alright, at least I tried.
=P
Happy Birthday My Piggie Boy!!!
