Another Word For Genital Tattoos

Christmas cake, in a classic red-gold

If you've followed my blog long time, so you know that I like to get inspiration from things that have so nothing to do with cakes, such as bedding ...
Some time ago, was again a nice brochure with pillows and blankets in the newspaper and I knew how I make my Christmas cake this year: with matryoshkas in red and gold!
These Russian dolls have different names: matryoshka, matryoshka, babushka, Russian doll plug ... - And with these words I'm on the net then went in search of a feasible model for my cake. Decided

I'm looking for a fairly simple design, but could not spice up fine by different structures in the individual parts!


The parts of the Matryoshka dolls, and the border neighborhood I've cut with the Cricut from Modellierfondant. So clean and precise I get the fact with a knife not go.
The Cricut is an electric clipper, which determines the Scrapbooker of you already know. For several years this machine in the USA used to cut paste and fondant flowers. I have the machine now for 1.5 years and used it for such Ausschneidmuster or to cut stencils. If interested, I can tell you next year so some times it ...


Somehow difficult to photograph red total, even after several processing steps in the photo editing program, the colors are not exactly like on the cake, the face of Matryoshkas example is skin color and the pink cheeks ...



Under the FondantĂĽberzug my design the way Cake is again a Sacher Torte Grandma Buchholtz (as in many of my Wedding cakes because ...), which can be prepared well and at least to roll out a week. Perfect to minimize pre-Christmas stress!
The recipe for the Sacher Torte is the grandmother of Uschi Schroeder. Uschi is one of the co-leaders in the pie talk. Since this recipe is now available but not exclusively there, I write it to you here sometimes on a warm thanks to Uschi and her grandma Buchholtz!


Sacher Torte Grandma Buchholtz

200g butter, room temperature 200g icing sugar sifted
,
1 pack vanilla sugar or 1 tablespoon geh-made
200 gr dark chocolate
7-8 eggs screened separately
200 gr flour,
3 teaspoons cocoa,
sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
6 tablespoons rum, brandy or apricot or orange liqueur
1 jar apricot jam

Chop the chocolate in water can liquefy and then cooled again to room temperature. In between stir every now and ...
the butter until creamy and then beat the sugar really nice white fluffy. Then stir in the cooled chocolate. Separate the eggs, stirring the yolks gradually into the butter-chocolate mixture and collect the proteins in a second bowl. In a separate bowl the flour, cocoa and baking powder seven, then beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt to a sleazy snow. Please do not stiff because the Sacher Torte is juicy with a greasy egg whites! Alternately pull
the flour mixture and the egg whites with fat mass, complete with the last remaining egg whites. Pour into a baking paper-lined with spring-form, thereby forming in the middle with the Teiglöffel a small hollow or alternatively wrap the pan after the Isoliermethode. In at 160 degrees preheated oven for 45 - 60 min. Bake the end make sure to stick out sample.
After cooling, cut the cake and fill with a mixture of jam and alcohol and outside once rich enough. If the cake surface is dry again, either coat it with chocolate glaze over them or ganache and covered with fondant. Then run through at least a week in the refrigerator or cold cellar.
I had baked for my Christmas cake that is 1.5 times the recipe in a 26 "springform pan, the cake was almost 7 inches high and had two fine cut times. Just after cutting the Christmas cake is now about 6 inches high. The remaining small bump of about 1 cm will crumble and I use for my Christmas dessert.


now wish I you and the people you love, a merry Christmas and thank you very much for your comments and opinions here on the blog. And if I do not get to write before New Year's Eve to another article: Does well in the New Year!

I Have Long Poofy Hair How Do I Get Rid Of P

wedding cake, very Christmassy!

weddings in the winter are so rare and in my circle of friends is unfortunately at the moment no wedding. Because me but rumspukt for some time a Christmas wedding cake in the head, I simply removed by two old dummies, the decoration and a white sugar rose, the Christmas roses and holly from last year and some new flowers, a new arrangement put together.

Winter Hochzeitstorte Unfortunately, the glitter powder comes on the snowflakes on the photos is over, but also like to me the combination of ivory and white on this Christmas wedding cake really well!

As Christmas accent and complement the green holly form the mistletoe make a nice contrast to the white flowers. Work are all the flowers and leaves of course again paste flowers and up to the internal wires, everything is edible.


In the plan view you can see beautiful that frame the Christmas roses the white rose. The Put sugar flowers is sometimes quite tricky: if you put too far apart, large gaps occur. But if you nice tight lies, can sugar flowers easily break :-(
What do you think because of my color choice? Is ivory for a wedding cake to your liking or need a wedding cake to be white?

Unlike in the original recipe I had the dough but the size of a normal baking tray and not just rolled out 20 x 20 cm.

Gropping Women On Bus

bake cookies III: More natural sugar roses

On the Cake International in Birmingham I had even bought a Rosenveiner and thus made a few days ago a test-Rose.
The structure that results from this Veiner on the rose leaves is just so strong that they recognize. In addition, working with a Veiner has the advantage that the bulge, which is working for the wire is pushed back through the minting nice and flat.
Sugar Rose looks really natural and lively, if the individual petals were minted - I really like good!


As a comparison I once had a rose that I took during the course of a sugar-roses, placed next to it. One sees very well the difference, I think! The
Veiner was in the workshop I have attended in Birmingham, incidentally, also used for stamping of orchid flowers - worth a versatile tool, therefore, whose purchase is ...
