蛋糕裝飾--fondant, gum pastry

來了，超簡單的fondant的做法--by 草味薄荷


in a small bowl, mix
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
4 tablespoons cold water
set in a simmering sauce pan to dissolve (i guess microwave could work too)
then melt in
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
then add
1/2 glucose (or white corn syrup)
i tablespoon clear vanilla extract
then grease a large bowl and fill in
7 cups confectioner's sugar ( 840g/ 1 lb 14 oz)

Make well in centre of sugar and pour liquid mixture . stir slowly toincorporate. remove from the bowl and knead on board dusted withconfectioner's sugar untill smooth. cover with plastic wrap. if use immediately, knead in some corn starch to stiffen. HINT: if you want to color the fondant, put food coloring in the liquid mixture before adding sugar. This recipe make enough to cover a 6*4 & a 8*4 cakes. gum pastry:---by clark woolley http://www.cakesbydesign.cc/GumPasteRecipe.html wilton level 3 結業蛋糕--珍珠與百合 (圖) Local Access打往中國電話卡1.3￠/分種 來源: 草味薄荷 於 04-11-30 14:58:48 [檔案] [博客] [舊帖] [轉至博客] [給我悄悄話] • 　華人廚房必備廚具中秋大優惠: | 自己動手做豆漿 | 永遠的不沾鍋 | 全自動電壓力煲 |       終於上完啦！ 最後一節課要做兩層蛋糕，結果是我小心翼翼的把她抱回家的。。。花是用gum paste做的，感興趣的可以去這個網站看看www.cakesbydesign.cc，他還出了一本書叫cakes by designamazon上有賣的。我覺得書很不錯，特別是如果你和我一樣找不到gum paste的課來上的話。 這回做了calla lily 和　lily of the valley (多麽美的名字：）花也很美，。。我希望以後可以種一大片） 珍珠是用buttercream 擠的，　擠到我手都快斷了，以致有一些擠歪了。。 蛋糕是用fondant蓋的，等一下跟大家分享fondant的做法，因為真的很簡單容易，大家不必去買$20一包的fondant.. enjoy....
