shelly's amazing cakes その3 dragon egg cake

2015-09-17 | cakes / その他
まだあるじゃ~ん!!!
There are more!!

Dragon Egg Cake, no less!

shelly のfacebook のアルバムから探し出しました!
I found other photos of her fantastic cakes in her facebook album.
(and asked her to let me use them here)



how clever of her to think of using 2 different size and shape baking tins!
It would look like an egg when these 2 cakes are put together.
I would never be able to get the inspiration.

二つの大きさも形も違う型を使って焼き上がったケーキをくっつけるれば卵の形になる、と思いつくところがスゴイ。
ワタクシ絶対に考え付かないわ。

and this part is even more ingenious!
I believe the egg is now covered with meringue.
そしてもっとスゴイのが、くっつけて卵形にしたケーキをメレンゲで包んでもう一度焼いたこと!

Meringue, when baked, gets cracked in some places. and is easily separated from the cake when sliced/cut, and look just like the broken eggshell.
I am certain that she had those effects in her mind.
I take my hat off and salute to her ingenuity.
メレンゲは焼きあがると所々にヒビが入るんですよ。
しかも、中のケーキはもう焼けているので、ケーキを切るとメレンゲはあたかも卵の殻のように壊れるはず。
どこまでも素晴らしい想像力! 脱帽! 敬礼っ! 

and here it is!
Completed with eyes and a tail.
I love the expression of the face!

完成! 目と尻尾も付いてます。 この表情がユーモラスで好き!

ohhhh! I see butter cream is sandwiched, so she not only thought of the shape, but also paid attention to the taste.
This, I call, very considerate. It is a cake after all, so should be eaten and ENJOYED. as I am very sure everyone did!

This cake is also for the girl for whom shelly baked the balloon cake. What a lucky girl!!
Shelly made this cake for the 1st birthday of the girl, who was born in the year of dragon. Splendid idea!

今年のお誕生日にバルーンケーキを焼いてもらった女の子、1歳のバースデイケーキはこの dragon egg ケーキだったんですね。(なんてラッキーな子!)
辰年生まれなんだそうですよ。
日本語では「辰」ですが、英語だと the year of the dragon(竜)なんですねー。 ゆえに「ドラゴン登場! 卵だけど」
あはははー、I like shelly's sense of humour!

*****
1歳、3歳のケーキがあるってことは2歳のもあるはず!!
あるんですよ~。 ドラゴンケーキがっ!!
・・・続きます・・・

shelly, thank you for the information. that is something I have never tried.
but what a great idea! very clever of you!
you have a lot of drawers that are full of information/knowledge/ideas. You can open one or more of them and take out the appropriate ones then arrange them to suit your purposes.
You are resourceful as well as skillful!
AND very generous

so the icing is actually a marshmallow frosting (made from sugar, egg whites, marshmallows). you don't need to bake it. it hardens when it cools. i then used a knife to cut the 'cracks' in the shell. almost right though; it's similar to a meringe!
