Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann Reardon
-
Today I am going to show you how to make your very own poppin cookin style kit from scratch.
-
A few weeks ago I did a poppin cookin video and had lots of requests for a mini version
-
that you can make yourself that actually tastes good and so that you know exactly what is
-
going into those powders. So I've been doing some experimenting and
-
designing and its finally ready... I'll show you how to make the cake first using the kit
-
first and then I'll show you how to make the kit and the powders themselves.
-
So in your kit when you open it up you'll have all this cool looking stuff. We've got
-
a mini piping bag, a measuring cup, three cupcake cases, some decorations, Three different
-
powders we've got a fondant mix, chocolate icing and cake mix there.
-
A 1/4 of a teaspoon measure, a couple of sheets of baking paper and of course the instructions
-
so you know what to do.
-
The instructions say to add 6 scoops of water to the cake mix. Add those just add those
-
in making sure each of your scoops are full to the top. Then stir it together, try and
-
make sure you don't have too much cake mix on the side try and get it all down the bottom.
-
Then place that in the microwave on medium heat for 1 minute. Then take that out and
-
leave it in its case to cool.
-
Add the fondant mix to a new case and add just 1 scoop of water. Mix it around and it
-
looks like nothing is happening, but that's fine don't add any more water to it.
-
Microwave on high for 15 seconds and then stir it really well. Tip it out onto some
-
baking paper and it's going to be warm but you want to knead it until it is smooth. You
-
want to use it straight away because once it is cold it will set firm.
-
Roll out a snake and cut 5 even lengths for candles. Give them a roll to roll them at
-
the top were you've just cut them so they are rounded.
-
Then look in your decorations and find one of those darker coloured sprinkles and poke
-
one into the top of your candle. Repeat that with each of your candles and then leave those
-
to go firm. Take the left over fondant and roll it into
-
a ball, cut it into two then roll it into a ball and flatten it out using the palm of
-
your hand to make it the same size as the cupcake case.
-
By now your cake should be cool, expand the edges of the case and then tip the cake out
-
over onto some baking paper. Make two cuts through the cake to make three
-
layers of cake. Then stack them back up again going cake fondant cake fondant and cake on
-
top. Using your hands gently roll the cake between
-
you hands to smooth off the sides there so that you have a nice neatly shaped cake. This
-
is just making the fondant and the cake straight on both sides.
-
Place that on top of the measuring cup. Now for our chocolate frosting pour the powder
-
into the last case and then add one, two, three, four scoops of water. Then stir that
-
around until it clumps together and looks a bit like wet sand.
-
Microwave that on high for 10 seconds and then stir it to get out any lumps you need
-
to just push the back of your spoon down to make sure all of that powder and everything
-
is mixed completely. Pour that frosting over your mini cake. and use the spoon to make
-
sure it covers all of the sides. Now place the left over frosting into the piping bag
-
and pipe a pattern around the top edge. I am just doing loops down and up and around
-
and down. Once you've sone that if you have a mini plate
-
you can transfer the cake to that. If not put it on a clean sheet of baking paper. Pipe
-
some more frosting around the base of the cake to make it look neat.
-
Then add your decorations to the top, you can do that randomly or in a pattern just
-
use your imagination it's you cake. Then add the candles that you made to the top of the
-
cake.
-
And you can really eat the whole cake without feeling guilty, you could probably eat the
-
whole cake in one mouthful let's face it. And once you've finished eating all the cake
-
you can eat the candles too.
-
Now to make the actual kit... lets start with the cake mix
-
To make enough cake mix for 10 kits you will need
-
plain / all purpose flour sugar
-
baking powder dark chocolate
-
cocoa powder and powdered whole egg. I just bought this
-
in a container at the supermarket I'll list all the recipe quantities for this
-
on my website howtocookthat.net in grams and ounces and cups and everything that you need.
-
I'll add a link to that in the description below.
-
Place all of that into a blender and put it on pulse and pulse it for a few seconds and
-
then put it onto blend . just ot make sure that all of that chocolate is broken down
-
into a fine powder. Place that in a bowl and we'll measure what
-
we need for each kit once we've made the other powders as well.
-
FONDANT MIX For the fondant type mixture what you need
-
is some icing sugar or powdered sugar and some compound white chocolate.
-
Place them both into your blender. And pulse and blend them just like we did before.
-
I love the look of this one it looks so soft and fluffy.
-
CHOCOLATE FROSTING Now for the chocolate frosting. We need to
-
blend up icing or powdered sugar, cocoa powder and white compound chocolate.
-
Blend it together. Of course if you want to make less kits you can halve the recipe you
-
don't have to make 10. Then for each kit
-
Put two tablespoons plus one teaspoon of cake mix powder into a bag.
-
Then for the fondant add 1 tablespoon and two teaspoons of the white powder.
-
And for the frosting add one, two, three tablespoons of mixture into a bag.
-
Now for each one fold the top over several times, seal it with tape and then place your
-
label on the front. Then add the decorations into another bag.
-
now you'll need some sprinkles for the top of the candles and then you can use whatever
-
other decorations you want to add there. You can print out the instructions, labels
-
and box cover from the website howtocookthat.net, and as I said I'll link to that below. And
-
I'm also using some patterned card to cover the box. The box I have is just an arnotts
-
shapes box if you live in Australia otherwise just look for a food box that you have in
-
your pantry that's nearly empty and cover that. Then add the printout to the front.
-
So in our kit you need to put in the three powders, the decorations, two little sheets
-
of baking paper, three cupcake cases, I found that these strong lined ones worked much better
-
than the paper ones for getting a good shaped cake. The instructions of course or they won't
-
know what to do. A quarter of a teaspoon measure a measuring cup and a mini piping bag. And
-
to make that just trim a normal one shorter.
-
Then place all of that into a bag and into the box and seal it up.
-
Now I have one of these kits left and I want to know which youtuber you think I should
-
send it to. Who would you like to see make this mini chocolate cake?
