Merah Kuning Ijo

I'm no cake decorator, and to be honest I don't really know how to do that.. he he.. but one thing I know for sure, I looooovvvvee staring at those beautifully decorated cake, love to see how detailes are made, and make the cake is more than just a cake.

I admire cake decorators and for me, the biggest dream is to take one of those decorating school so I too can make those gorgeous piece of arts, or even become a decorator. So, in a way.. ha ha.. I dare my self to make this cake, well, making the cake should be no problem now.. he he.. and tried to decorated it. One thing I learned, that you must always always always make a plan of what kind of decoration you'll put on the cake before you start to decorate. And I didn't do that.. and after I finished, turned out the cake more looks like it was done by an 8 year old child.. ha ha..

Durian Cake

2006-08-18T22:46:00.000-07:00

It's durian season now in Jakarta. Hubby bought like too much durian and I just can't have anymore of them. There were tons left over in the fridge and all the sudden Hubby ask me to make him durian cake.

Jujur aja ye, sebelumnya beluuum pernah sekalipun gue bikin cake pake durian. Makanya pas disuruh bikin tu kue gue rada bengong juga..

"Bisa ga neeeh" Hubby said sambil cengar cengir

"Bisaaaaa dooong !!" *sok tau sambil rada bingung juga dikit.. he he*

"Ya udah tar siang udah jadi ya"

"No problem" *yeah right !!*

Lalu apa yang terjadi ??

Buru-buru deh buka-buka buku cari resep yang ntar jadinya kira-kira mirip ama cake durian ini. And thank GOD !! found one from Dapur Bunda. It's actually the recipe of Classic Cheese Cake, but I subtitute the cheese with durian. It's a butter type cake and it was made by separating the egg yolks with their white parts, so even it's a butter type, the cake is quite soft, and more importantly..

"Enak nih. Hmmm..mm"

"Yang bener ??" *seakan tak percaya, masa iya sih segitunya cake buatan gue*

"Benerrr.. buatin satu lagi buat Ibu ya" *weeeeks* he he..

So then I made another one, but this time, it is a sponge cake. Udah lebih pede nih. Send it over to my mom in law this morning and she loved it. Yeeeyy..

Cotton Sponge Cake

2006-08-06T19:08:00.000-07:00

Cake yang saya pake untuk buat Tiramisu saya buat dengan resep ini. This recipe had been my favourite cake recipe ever since I found it. It's quite easy, not as complicated as sponge cake.. at least I guess.. he he..the texture is soft, smooth and 'flufy', ga bikin enek gitu.. I got this recipe from a book titled : SPONGE CAKE, Selembut Kapas, the author is AMBARINI and published by Gramedia. I'll post the picture of this book latter..WEll, this is the recipe..

60 gram mentega tawar

80 ml susu evaporated

80 gram tepung terigu protein rendah

1 butir telur

1/4 sendok teh vanili bubuk

sedikit / sejumput garam

1. Siapkan loyang, alasi dengan kertas roti, tidak perlu dioles.

2. Panaskan oven hingga bersuhu 160 derajat Celcius.

3. Campur mentega dan susu evaporated dalam panci, jerangkan di atas api kecil hingga hangat saja, angkat. Masukkan terigu, aduk rata, masukkan telur utuh, kuning telur, vanili dan garam, aduk rata hingga halus.

4. Kocok putih telur, cream of tartar, gula pasir dan garam, kocok hingga membentuk puncak tumpul, namun jangan terlalu kaku.

5. Masukkan adonan putih telur sedikit ke dalam adonan kuning telur, aduk rata. Kemudian masukkan adonan kuning telur tadi sedikit-sedikit sambil diaduk ke dalam adonan putih telur.

6. Tuang adonan ke dalam loyang yang telah disiapkan, masukkan ke dalam oven.

Happy baking.. Oiya, ini cake jadinya emang nggak 'tinggi' banget kayak sponge cake. tapi pori-pori nya halus banget, bahkan nyaris tanpa pori kalo aku bilang sih. Aku biasa pake loyang bulet dimeter 22 cm, dan untuk tiramisu itu, aku bikin 2 resep untuk 2 layer itu.

Chocolate cake to die for

2005-10-16T22:07:00.000-07:00

I guess everyone has their moment of desperation. And mine, is with the chocolate sponge cake.. ha ha.. To be honest, I never had succeded making such spongy, moist chocolate cake using the methode of sponge cake recipe. Been asking to some friends's, browsing and looking for just a perfect composition so I could have all I ever wanted for chocolate cake. Hmmpfff.. this cake is really giving me a hard time..

But the more it's complicated, the more I like it.. I will never ever give up on this. I'll keep looking, keep searching, keep trying.. even keep fighting if I have to.. he he.. So this time I decided to try one recipe I found in one of my cooking book collection; Ragam Kudapan Coklat Sedap Sekejap published by PT. Media Boga Utama. Well, as all the butter cake type, I found the cake is not that spongy as I wanted to be. But softer than other butter type cake I used to make. Not bad at all.

Soft spongy moist chocolate cake.. I'm half way there !!

Making ornament from chocolate

2005-10-10T19:40:00.000-07:00

Having heard about this cute simple way to make ornament for cake decoration. I've been wondering if is it realy that simple, just melt the chocolate and let your imagination to draw any shape you want, then all the sudden you have your own creation to decorate your cake.. hmmmm..

Daripada terus penasaran, dan kebetulan I'm in 'project' to make hantaran for my mom in law, this morning I tried to make the chocolate ornament. And yep, it was that simple..

First, I melted the dark cooking chocolate, by placing them in a cup placed in another larger cup filled with boiled water. Then I put the melted chocolate into a decorating paper, and started to draw all the shape I want on a wax paper I layered earlier. Have them dry.

Few minutes later I was surprised by how easy those beautiful decoration made, and this ornament trully does become handy.. he he..

Chocolate coated cake

2005-10-05T23:35:00.000-07:00

Wanna try to make something simple for cake decoration. So I try to make this chocolate coated cake with cookies on the topping.

the Cake itself is lapis surabaya jadi-jadian, berhubung lagi ngirit telur, layered with mocca butter cream filling. Bikin 2 layer, satu coklat satu plain. Cake ini masing-masing layer hanya menggunakan 6 telur. Jadi total hanya 12 telur.

Butter cream buat filling dan coating (sebelum disiram coklat) dibuat rasa mocca, biar nyambung ama tema coklat. Abis kalo dibuat rasa coklat kayaknya kurang bervariasi gitchu.

Setelah dioles butter cream, cake disiram dark cooking chocolate yang dicairkan, ditambah susu cair dan margarin.

Hiasan topping dibuat dari cookies, terus dikasih ornamen titik-titik diatas, dan tetesan white cooking chocolate yang dicairkan. Sebenernya bisa juga cookiesnya dicoating pake white cooking chocolate, tapi rasanya jadi terlalu manis menurutku, cake ama forstingnya udah manis banget.

Cake dengan mentega kocok

2005-10-04T21:05:00.000-07:00

Biasanya aku bikin cake dengan cara ini kalo bikin lapis surabaya, yang resepnya menggunakan 10-15 kuning telur. Tapi kali ini, dapet resep dari tabloid SAJI dengan metode yang sama (mentega/margarin kocok), tapi penggunaan telurnya hanya 6 buah saja (telur utuh). Ini dia:

Bahan

150 gram margarin

6 butir telur

175 gram gula pasir

1 sendok makan SP

150 gram tepung terigu protein sedang

20 gram tepung maizena

Cara membuat

1) Panaskan oven 180 derajat Celsius.

2) Kocok margarine selama 20 menit dengan kecepatan tinggi sampai lembut. Kemudian masukkan maizena sambil diayak dan diaduk rata.

3) Kocok telur, SP dan gula pasir 15 menit dengan kecepatan tinggi sampai mengembang. Tambahkan tepung terigu sambil diayak dan diaduk rata.

4) Tambahkan kocokan telur sedikit demi sedikit kedalam kocokan margarin sambil diaduk perlahan hingga rata.

5) Tuang adonan ke loyang persegi 20 cm, tinggi 7 cm yang dioles margarin dan dialas kertas roti.

6) Oven 45 menit sampai matang.

Cake; other style

2005-10-02T23:22:00.000-07:00

Finally, I had time to try one of these sponge cake recipe. I've been curious ever since I found it in my old decorating book. The mixing methode is different with all method I've tried.

Hasilnya, cakenya lembut, cuma menurut ku teksturnya lebih mirip sama Angel Cake.

One thing that make me happy, adonan telurnya jadi mengembang banget, dan nggak turun banyak waktu dicampur terigu dan mentega cair.

Apalagi waktu dioven, cake ini mengembang dengan bagus juga.

These are the pictures

I plan to decorate the cake and I will post the photo later.

Oiya, just one thing, resep cake jenis ini kayaknya lebih sedikit resiko gagalnya deh, dibandingkan dengan sponge cake. Ini dia resepnya :

Bahan

6 kuning telur

100 gram gula halus

6 putih telur

100 gram gula pasir

1/4 sdt Cream of Tar Tar (optional)

150 gram terigu

1 sdm susu bubuk

1/4 sdt baking powder

100 gram margarin, cairkan

Cara membuat

1) Kocok kuning telur dan gula halus hingga lembut, sisihkan.

2) Kocok putih telur hingga naik, masukkan gula pasir sedikit demi sedikit, kocok terus hingga kaku.

3) Campur putih telur kocok kedalam kuning telur kocok sedikit demi sedikit, sambil diaduk perlahan.

4) Ayak tepung terigu+susu bubuk+baking powder kedalam campuran telur, aduk rata.

5) Masukkan margarin cair, aduk balik dari bawah keatas hingga rata.

6) Oven hingga matang.

Tiramisu cake.. my daring adventure

2005-09-28T01:48:00.000-07:00

I love Tiramisu, ever since my first bite in my first experience with this dessert. I always want, well, dream of, making Tiramisu by myself. Been piping for some one else's tiramisu, search for recipes until I found one from Dapur Bunda. And few hours later...

This is how it looks. A bit messy I guess, but a lot to learn. For me, Tiramisu is like a dessert from 'heaven'. Its creamy, soft and smoothness tempting anyone just by imagining it. I don't want to ruin the soft, creamy sensation, I wanted the cake to be a soft and spongy cake, just to have it 'blend' with the cream. I decided to make the Cotton Sponge Cake, while the Tiramisu I made it this way:

Bahan A

240 gram keju mascarpone/cream cheese

300 ml whipped cream

100 gram gula pasir

1/2 sdt essence vanilli

Pencampuran bahan A ... to be continued

Fondant first try

2005-09-23T01:39:00.000-07:00

Tuntas sudah semua curiousity ku tentang how to make shape out of a fondant..

it may looks fool for pro, but at least I'm quite happy with all the lesson I learned

'cause, hey, you never learn if you never try, right..

Fondant nya beli adonan yang udah jadi, di pasar mayestik. kalo ga salah 1/4 kg nya Rp. 8.000,- gitu deh. Terus dikasih maizena dikit, dan pewarna.

One thing for sure, making roses from fondant material is way lot easier than if you make it from buttercream.. he he
