Entertaining Appetizer - fancy birthday ake

There's a certain Amount of pleasure Gained from making fancy birthday cakes cost next to nothing That. How? Not cheap ingredients! Make your fancy birthday cakes from the trimmings of Other cakes.

There Is Some Inevitably 'fallout' from making celebration cakes, wedding cakes made particularly of Many layers. These cakes Always Need trimming and cutting Into Shape Before They are glazed with chocolate.

Purpose • What Can You Do with giving further biscuity delectable trimmings?
• What to do with the traces of ganache from the different fillings?
• What to do with the spare cake and cream leftover from the cake shaping?

You can just eat it all, Then and There, But That Seems Downright greedy - or throw it away, Which Seems Downright wasteful ... more gold you can make fancy birthday cakes brand new!

Delivering Just after a large wedding cake one year, to be honest I Was a bit 'caked out'! My grandson wanted one goal of my 'fancy' birthday cakes. I needed something different, quickly.

I Remembered That time in my Grandmother's, bakers could Used to All Their cake ends and scraping from the day's production Into a large bowl, together with "any plain cake and has left Unsöld goodly slosh of alcohol. This Was Mixed, Made Into a large slab and sold next day in small slices as Tipsy Cake.

That set me wondering.

Could I do something similar for my grandson, goal keep it alcohol-free, And Also use up the spare ganache I Had Prepared For That wedding cake?

Yes! IT WAS one of my fancy birthday cakes MOST Successful, a 3D chocolate dinosaur.

The basic 'building material' is now Known in Our family did Rubble Cake.

Rubble Cake is excellent for Creating 3-dimensional detail. For larger cakes, use sponge and ganache layers for the main body of the shape either 'rubble cake for the rest of the modeling. The cake shaped Should Be at regular intervals réfrigéré to harden the chocolate in the mixture. Once the Model IS firm, more room-temperature rubble mixture can be added.

Rubble Cake: my original experiment (quanties are variable!)

* I Was using a mixture of fat-free sponge trimmings and leftovers Already Carrying Some ganache and white chocolate mousse. I broke up all the cake Into small pieces about the size of a walnut Into a bowl.
* I Was Made sure the ganache at room temperature (ie soft and Slightly Runny). I put it-through the microwave for 20 seconds.
* I added Enough to the Runny ganache cake Morsels just to coat 'em. It is stirring, the mixture Was similar to very large golden breadcrumbs crumble. (Might Drier than you think.)
* I Covered the bowl with film and left it for about 30 minutes.
* When I cam back to it, all the sponge HAD Softened, Gently Stirred and I broke it up with a metal spoon.
* Then, using my hands I scooped up sacrifice part of thesis 'cake crumbs cooked' em and compressed slightly. It has mouldable Formed ball of 'rubble' like loose sticky dough.
* I Did The Same With The Rest Of The cooked cake crumbs.

Note: exact results are unpredictable to the original cake LUKAS components. Remember That 'less is more' Regarding the Amount of ganache you add to the cake crumbs. Too sticky mixture was Is Difficult to Work with. Howeve, do not panic if you do add too much "ganache, just pop it in the fridge to chill Slightly in order for it to harden Before use.

Model at will!

As well as fancy birthday cakes, cette même concoction Makes good if plain truffles rolled Into little balls and dusted with cocoa. It can Be Used as a base for cold chocolate mousse cake or can Be Used As One layer in a chocolate layer cake.

(Note: n Successful Cake Rubble Was That IS the joke now I am. Instead of making cakes from Cake Rubble leftover trimmings Now I Have to bake new cakes to break up for my fancy birthday cakes ...)
