Minion fondant cake (小小兵翻糖蛋糕)

This is the cake that i make into with the Walnut butter cake.  My cousin's little girl (Cherise) turn 4 years old, she request her mummy to make her a 'Minion' cake. Her mummy ordered a Minion cake from a local bakery but Cherise don't like it. She comment that the minion cake doesn't look like a minion and it doesn't have the blue jumper on. Cherise's mummy WeChat me to make her a fondant Minion cake. I accepted the mission and  i try my best to bake the cake her little girl wanted!! Sound simple right..:p This is a challenging piece of cake >< i had hiccups here and there while making this cake XD 
**I baked her a Hello Kitty cake on her 1st birthday here
I show you this yesterday !! I think you might have guess what it is...
昨天看到了黄黄的手臂,我想你也猜到是什么了吧!表弟的小宝贝生日要做个minion蛋糕。表弟媳就去蛋糕店定了个给她。结果这4岁的小宝贝说蛋糕不像minion,她不要。要妈妈再定过哦!表弟媳,发了个短信给我。我只好把工程接下!

Yes, A Minion cake size 6 inches width and 8.5 inches height.
做了个6寸宽8.5高的minion蛋糕。小宝贝,看了高兴的很。还跟妈妈说这个有穿衣服的。。。好!!
I used raw spaghetti to hold the black fondant for the hair.
用了昨天贴上的核桃奶油蛋糕食谱。做了2粒6寸圆形和1粒半圆形的蛋糕。(半圆形模可以在这)打好奶油霜就开工了。翻糖我用了一罐,白色的。颜色都自己调。头发就用了黑色翻糖把意大利面条包起来当支撑。整个过程还蛮好玩的。 只是在铺上黄翻糖时有点挑战。翻糖没铺好也不平滑还破了:( 告诉自己一定要做好),就再来多一片翻糖再铺一次。
After baking and cooling the cakes. It is time to assemble it.
With the Walnut butter cake recipe, i baked 2, 6 inches round cake and 1 half sphere cake.(see the half sphere mould here) While waiting for the cakes to cool. I prepared the mock cream to ice the cake. A whole can of fondant is used up for this cake. I used white fondant and tinted the needed colors with Americolor brand food coloring. It has to be oil base to achieve even color on the fondant.  When i first roll out the yellow fondant to cover the head. It didn't goes smoothly. The fondant wrinkle here and there. When i try to smooth it out the fondant ..tear into pieces XD. I had to remove the tear pieces and redo again another new piece. This time i cover the top (half sphere) part only. This makes it easier to smooth the fondant out. Then the second piece cover the body like a bath towel ..hehe. After the yellow part have completed the rest it not that hard to complete.

Phew!! finally,  mission accomplished. 
还好!!大功告成了!小宝贝也高高兴兴带去学校庆祝生日。。。^_^

Saw some nice and fresh bluberries in the supermarket, i quickly grab some for decoration :D Nice and smooth sides.    Moist, soft and fl

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
