翻糖杯子蛋糕

 

我做过好几个翻糖结婚蛋糕，但翻糖都是买wilton的fondant，我觉得不好吃又很贵。。网上有很多自制的棉花糖翻糖（Marshmallow Fondant), 材料很简单，味道也还好。。虽然还是甜了点。。

原食谱： 

• 8 ounces miniature marshmallows
• 1 pound powdered sugar (4 cups), plus extra for dusting （我还是减了不少糖）
• 2 tbsp water
• Food coloring or flavored extracts, optional *
• 1/2 cup Crisco shortening

* 我在walmart 买了水果味有颜色的marshmallows，就什么也没加了。
    红色－草莓味，绿色 －青柠味，橘色 －橘子味，黄色－柠檬味

做法：

1. Melt marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave or double boiler. To microwave, place the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, open microwave and stir, back in microwave for 30 seconds more, open microwave and stir again, and continue doing this until melted. It usually takes about 2 1/2 minutes total. 

2.  Place 3/4 of the powdered sugar on the top of the melted marshmallow mix.

Now grease your hands GENEROUSLY (palms, backs, and in between fingers), then heavily grease the counter you will be using and dump the bowl of marshmallow/sugar mixture in the middle. (我一开始没有用手，直接用silicone spatula 搅拌，直到成团我才用手揉,手还是要放油)

3. Start kneading like you would bread dough. You will immediately see why you have greased your hands. What are you doing is Keep kneading, this stuff is sticky at this stage! Add the rest of the powdered sugar and knead some more. Re-grease your hands and counter when the fondant starts sticking.  

If the mix is tearing easily, it is to dry, so add water (about 1/2 tablespoon at a time and then knead it in). It usually takes about 8 minutes to get a firm smooth elastic ball so that it will stretch without tearing when you apply it to the cake. It is best if you can let it sit, double wrapped, overnight (but you can use it right away if there are no tiny bits of dry powdered sugar). If you do see them, you will need to knead and maybe add a few more drops of water.

Prepare the fondant icing for storing by coating it with a good layer of Crisco shortening, wrap in a plastic-type wrap product and then put it in a re-sealable or Ziploc bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible. MM Fondant icing will hold very well in the refrigerator for weeks.

 

我那天只做了绿色及橘色，所以就弄了南瓜造型，后来还给小朋友弄了卡通造型。

我用的是基本牛油蛋糕的食谱，半分做巧克力，另外半分做芝麻口味。

 材料：
1. 牛油250g
2. 幼糖200g （我一般只会放160g）
3. 鸡蛋四粒
4. 面粉250g 加2茶匙发粉
5. 鲜奶4汤匙

做法：
1. 牛油和糖低速度打至变浅黄松发。
2. 加入第一粒蛋打至成奶油状，蛋要一颗一颗的加。
3. 每一颗蛋必须打至均匀才能再加入另一颗蛋。
4. 面粉和牛奶分3次加入，拌打至光滑面糊
5. 拿一半的面糊加三大匙的巧克力粉搅拌均匀。
6. 另外一半的面糊家三大匙的黑芝麻粉搅拌均匀。
7. 放进杯子烤盘中央，芝麻口味的我在上面撒上一些芝麻粒。
8. 放入预热烤箱，180度烤约20－25分钟或至熟即可。
