Blueberry Cheese Cake


      My new recipe "Blueberry Cheese Cake", I got this recipe from the back of the label of cream cheese I used, I tried this  recipe because of the "No Bake" procedure and a friendly recipe :-)

      Here's how to:

Ingredients:


 Crust:

1 1/4         Cups          Graham Cracker Crumbs
1                  tsp.            Cinamon (optional)
1/3             Cup            Melted Butter
1                   tsp.            Lemon Grind
2                  Tbsp.        Sugar

Filling:

1                 Pkg.           Cream Cheese, Softened
1/4            Cup             Sugar
1                 Tbsp.          Unflavored Gelatin Dissolved in
3                 Tbsp.          Fresh Milk
1                 Cup             All Purpose Cream, Chilled
1                 Cup             BlueBerries in Syrup

Procedure:

          To make crust, mix crumbs with cinnamon, sugar, melted butter and lemon rind.  Press on a 9 inches pie plate or spring form pan. Chill.




          For the filling, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and well blended.  Meanwhile, dissolved unflavored gelatin in milk over low heat and add to cream cheese while still hot.  Continue beating to blend well.  In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff and fold into cream cheese mixture.


          Pour onto crumbs, lined pan. Top with blueberries in syrup.  Chill for 4 to 6 hours.




You can serve it plain
For me, I top blueberries in syrup when I serve

           The finished product of this recipe is very thin cheese cake, if you want to be more thick, just double the recipe but if you want as is the recipe, place it in small container like plastic cup for single serving.  I used blueberries in light syrup, next time I try the heavy syrup to taste it better.

Cake Pop Trial

      A Chocolate Cake Pop Trial......just to try how to make it.....

Here's how to:

      First bake a cake what flavor do you want, for me I choose Chocolate cake that I always baked. Then destroy the cake or crumpled it and add the frosting you like, for me I add frosting that is also a trial.



     Second, after combining the cake and frosting, form a ball with your bear hands, be sure to wash your hands :-)  


     After making a ball, melt a chocolate you desired to dip of..... first, dip half inch of the stick to the melted chocolate then into cake pop. This seems to help the pop stay on the stick better, which helps a lot when you are dipping them in the chocolate.



     Then, dip the cake pop to the melted chocolate then dry it for a minute and sprinkle it.


     Sad to say....the cake pop I made was not good, actually the chocolate I melted was not good, it doesn't melt, so, what I did was putting  two Tablespoon of kind a hot all purpose cream to melt the chocolate, I think my chocolate is old stock that's why not perfectly melted. Then when I dip into a chocolate I made it, slowly dripping of the chocolate from the cake pop and I decided to pull it of the stick.  And that's it! a cake pop without a stick and it can be :-)

In my consolation, even it is not perfect, my daughter and my nieces especially my nephew love it, because it is a CHOCOLATE Forever.....

Wait my second trial of a cake pop and I did not stop till I made it  perfect.

Marshmallow Cake


Marshmallow Frosting
for the design in applying frosting just use spatula and touch the frosting and slowly pull up to make thorn like.





          For my Mother Retirement Birthday...... an eight (8) inches round chocolate cake with my new recipe marshmallow icing, decorated with colorful sprinkle and dark chocolate chip.

          Marshmallow frosting is simple and cheaper, I keep searching for less expenses icing or frosting and easy to do.... and that's it! I found it! :-).

Here's How to:

For the Cake:    any flavor cake what you want it can be, for me I choose Chocolate Cake.

For Frosting:     Marshmallow Frosting
Ingredients:
     2         Large     Egg Whites
     1/2       C          Sugar
     1/4       C          *Corn Syrup
     2          Tbsp.    Water
     1 1/2    tsp.       Pure Vanilla Extract

Procedure:
     Combine frosting ingredients with a pinch of salt in a metal bowl set over a sauce pan of simmering water and beat with handled electric mixer at high speed until frosting is thick and fluffy, 6 to 7 minutes.  Remove bowl from heat and continue to beat until slightly cooled.  Use frosting the day it is made.

*Note: I don't have a corn syrup at home, I'd search for the substitute of it. And the substitute for corn syrup is 1:4 ratio for every 1 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of water, in this recipe we need 1/4 cup corn syrup, so we need 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 Tablespoon of water.


Don't hesitate to experiment in baking, it's exciting and overwhelmed if the output is good.

Happy Baking Always!

Angry Bird Cake

  An Eight inches (8") round Chocolate Cake
 
Things needed in Angry Bird Design

make an outline of the design





Angry Bird is all time favorite of the children now a days...... as I promised to my nephew "Adam Jurix Amata" (BOK) turns 3 years old last June 3, 2012 and that promise  happens only today, the reason why is lack of ingredients and time :-)

A round eight inches chocolate cake in butter cream icing in color red and white piping with medium open flower tip and a little bit color yellow for beak, chocolate ganache for outlining the design and for eyebrows.

What I did is.... Crumb coat first on a very thin layer of frosting, then draw a design with a skewer, but for me, I drew first in parchment paper for practice purposes and outline it in chocolate ganache then start piping.

That's it!... Agry Bird with a smile :-)
