Salted caramel

...dari afc...which tv session, forgot already.

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water ** the use of water here is to slow the burning of sugar
- make caramel
- put off fire.

3/4 cup milk cream
- pour slowly and whisk ** caramel is hot. slowly pour the cream. watch out the hot steam!

1/4 cup butter
- whisk well

1 tsp 'salt'
- combine well.....

note: salt here refer to 'quality' salt....not table salt. example sea salt, mountain salt, etc.

(she, the tv host, use this salted caramel in her banana pie: pie crust, slice banana with salted caramel drizzle on top, covered with custard, top with slice banana, final top with fresh cream. serve with another drizzle of salted caramel).

Jelly kelapa muda


ari tu  buat...rasa macam jadi...so nak simpan resepi ....

3 biji kelapa muda
- asingkan air dan isi
- air dapat dalam 2 liter (kalau tak cukup , tambah air untuk menjadikan nye 2 liter)

agar-agar tali 20 gm
2 liter air
2 cawan gula
- masak agar-agar hingga larut dalam 2 liter air
- campurkan gula masak hingga larut
- tapis

- masukkan air kelapa dan masak sebentar. jangan boil! nanti warna tak cantek...
- masukkan isi kelapa, kacau rata dan tutup api.......

sudah!

 update  april 26.
sabtu ni nak bawa jelly kelapa balik kg nakhoda...ada famili event.
tapi x nak letak dlm bekas commercial yg kecik2 tu....
so letak dalam bekas 1.2 liter tu...so dapat dalam enam bekas....
tapi resepi dah ubah...sebab x nak lembik sangat.
resepi kat atas tu macam selalu orang buat lah...lembik tu...
saya nak keras sikit...

so resepi so far...seperti diatas...tapi
1. agar2 tali  naik kan kepada 30 gram
2. larutkan kedalam air   2.5 liter (extra 500 ml)

so nak tengok jap lagi...keras nye macam mana....

keputusannye:

wah...orang komen ..kenapa keras? kenapa warna dia x cantek? macam kelabu ungu gitu....
ini mesti sebab dah kenal jelly kelapa - mesti lembik punya....hehehe...
yang warna tu sebab bila dah masuk air kelapa , i masak sampai mengelegak...so warna dia bertukar jadi gitu...tak menarik. so tak yah boil...panas kan sat je bila dah masuk air kelapa tu....

Cupcakes...







...recently buat cupcakes for wedding....800 pieces...to be served together on the main buffet tables and also the candy buffet....
search in internet for recipes....
dapatlah satu for vanilla cupcakes yang simple...altered sikit untuk dia jadi moist  and flavorful...
untuk chocolate cupcakes guna recipe yang sedia ada..tapi altered juga supaya lebih flavorful...

so kakak asilah was willing to help...ended up she did the whole 850++ cupcakes...mummy just monitoring  only...hehehe... we spent three days making the 800++ counts...
the worries were there as the cupcakes were moist....so much afraid that mold will set in...
alhamdulillah things were going so fine....

i did swiss meringue buttercream (SMBC) for toppings besides chocolate ganache. first time i did this buttercream was at a friend's house. this time i did for 4 batches. they turned out so lovely....you surely can control the sweetness of the buttercream and also surely you can get hold of the stiffness of it inorder to  hold any shape wanted...

vanilla cupcakes


chocolate cupcakes

chocolate ganache

......this chocolate ganache has been warm a bit so the chocolate is runny a bit...


... this chocolate ganache has been put in a fridge for a while so it can be piped nicely ....


 ...chocolate ganache top with chocolate rice, peanut butter smbc, toasted almond nibs drizzle with dulce de leche....

swiss meringue buttercream (smbc)


...in here we have peanut butter smbc top with toasted almonds nibs, strawberry smbc top with color rice, and dulce de leche smbc

...big cupcakes...

...vanilla cupcakes top with dulce de leche smbc drizzle with dulce de leche...


Note:
- to make sure smbuttercream can hold the shape under the warm wedding tent and not melting away, i have to use BUTTERCUP and KRIMWELL.  if i were to use 100% butter, the buttercream might just not able to hold the shape well.....


..plastics piping bags with nozzles, whatever available on hand....the plastics nozzles were from aqilah's playing utensils i bought when she was in standard 3 or 4.....now only put into used...hehehe...

...Qilah piped the chocolate ganace ...

...kakak piped dulce de leche smbc on top of chocolate ganache...
