So here we go with my first blog , i want to make a valentine cake for my husband i dont want it to be typical valentine heart shaped cake ( not that that would be wrong) . I just cant seem to keep it simple i alwats have to complicate things ,... oufff . So what should i do? what says i love you without hearts lol , now am thinking i should go for heart! no, i wont , i cant , can i???? I thing anything chocolate will do , maybe hmmmm i know a 3D heart lol still a heart i know but lets face it who am i kidding its a valentine cake lol. For those who know me , know that i will probably chance my mind atleast 10 times lol
Just got the baby a bottle and decided to get a bit to eat , baguette with olive oil basil and pepper hmmm .
Now where were we!? oh ya me changing my mind , well you will soon realise that i do that alot. but i will finish what i start ,i will just need some thinking to get there so bare with me will i gather my thoughts and share ''my love for cakes'' with you .
I love cooking , in an ideal world i would have my restaurant and make cakes , in my world how ever i bake for fun , friends , husband .. basicly when ever i can. I will add some pictures of some cakes and toppers i have made feel free to coment or ask questions , althought i am not a professional i will be glad to give you my advice and or opinion and who knows prehaps we can learn together ...why not!hmm the smell of fresh basil is devine. I will also try to include little clips of how to's for exemple : making fondant roses, snowmen , santas , bees and even some pooh bear somewhen in there . who knows maybe we can make a project together !? Let me know what you think...who ever you are.Well cooking means dirty dishes so off i go until next time.

yeah!!! how to!!! That is nice idea. Hum i know how to make chick pea carry or how to dance bhangra. I got some skils in kitchen but i dont know how to make fondant!!!
ReplyDeleteHi , sorry i have been away from the blog for awhile , making fondant is actually easy .
ReplyDeleteyou will need :
1 bag of marshmallow 16ounces( dont use cheap brand )
powdered sugar 2 pounds
1/4 cup of butter or shortening
about 4 to 5 tablespoons of water
and 1 teaspoon of vanilla
you could also add other flavors to it
in a large microwaveable bowl melt the marshmallow not more then 30 seconds at a time . stir and melt for an other 30 seconds . when it is melted add the vanilla and or other flavors and the water start with 4 tablespoons . then blend in the sugar one cup at a time , and now the fun part lol grease your hands and knead it well it will be very sticky ...it will start to be more pliable once it does you can knead it on counter putting powdered sugar so it doesnt stick to your work suface . fondant will be ready when its not sticky anymore( about 10 ) . when ready form a ball and wrap it in plastic let it set in the fridge.until ready to use .if its to hard you can microwave 10 seconds at a time not more it will get soft fast , just knead it roll it and enjoy it ... sounds complicated but its not !:)
if needed you can colour the fondant with food colorent i like the gel type , dip the toothpick in the gel and poke the fondant , and then knead it in . do not put too much do it a little at a time until you get the colour you want .. play with it and try out on a small amount of fandant because when dry the colours are different .
