Marina, thank you very much for this excerpt ... I just wanted to ask the guru on the site about the brush, I didn't really like the silicone one, I bought it with natural bristles, but it's not so hot in a plastic frame either ... On the weekend I'll go to the hardware store for a brush
Nataliwave
Girls, I just a couple of days ago in the Metro bought myself a culinary brush, with natural bristles, sold in a set of two, costs about 140re, I'll take a picture right now.

I liked the brushes, fine bristles. I took one, gave one to my friend. There was one more brush, more expensive, I decided not to risk it and start with this one.
Before that I bought an ordinary small building bristle, the bristles were coarser and thicker, although the brush is good, it served me a lot with faith and truth.
Recently, when the old brush became bad, soaked the surface of the cake with a piece of gauze, constantly dipping it in syrup ...
Yutan
marinastom, thanks for the advice! And every time I wash my brush, and there is so much oil ... I also have a brush with bristles, but I bought it at Tescom. I like this brush better than the silicone one.

Girls, I bought a daub for molds, I haven’t tested it yet, in the composition of lecithin, everything should jump out with a bang (otherwise I had a problem with the cupcake a few days ago, I had to urgently make a cream of sour cream and make a pancho cake)

Nataliwave
And here I also found them on ozone:

What I bought in Metro was a set of two brushes, one smaller, one larger .. And they had another brush on the shelf, twice as thick as these ...

I was also going to buy a new construction brush, but something gnaws at me - what if some glue or something else is used to make construction brushes ...
Mams
Nataliwave, I bought on ozone. Just after reading this thread about bristle brushes. Not used yet, while there is a mold spray. How it ends - I have a brush in stock

So I also thought about construction. In the same place, glue is used, it is hardly food grade ...
Nataliwave
Olya, and I always smear the molds with only softened butter and with my hands ... As carefully as with my hands - nothing is smeared with anything ... But nothing has ever stuck .. And I use the brush exclusively to lubricate the surface of the finished cake-cake ... And I liked construction for these purposes even worse - it has coarser bristles, if the surface of the cake is delicate, it could "hurt"))

As for the glue, I totally agree ... Scary ..
Mikhaska
Well, the Bavarian form by hand is unlikely to work.
I also have a hair brush with a removable handle of unknown origin. And I also never wash it. Only I don't put it in the freezer. I will improve.
marinastom
It seems to me that if you take a brush where the bristles are pulled together by a tin strip, then it is safe, because there is no glue.

A hut in the Winter Forest - even more so ... there to get to the tops of the trees - not enough fingers. And the protrusion of the pipe ...
I also had an idea to buy a paintbrush, but then I thought that they hardly make it from food-grade metal ... It somehow became scary.

And I will soon have other pretentious ones, too, it will not work out there either!
And, here, I often began to catch myself thinking - to whirr to the shop for artists. They mainly have brushes made from natural products of one hundred percent! And there are round ones, too.And round in all sorts of bends in our forms, I think, are very much needed. The sizes and volumes of painting brushes are very diverse ...

The Bavarian form with hands is unlikely to work.
Irina, I solemnly swear that I smear only with my hands and nothing else! Yes, it's dreary, yes - in some places little fingers are used, nothing, we're used to it!
Yesterday I was baking a new cake with a lot of cognac and other liquids, very wet in structure - it did not break, not a piece remained in the mold, I can take a picture for evidence, I haven’t soap yet ...
Here's the cupcake:

Here is a dirty form (sorry, I baked it last night, today is at work all day, I haven't washed it yet!):

Brown marks on the mold are the remnants of crumbs (mixed with cocoa) from the dusting.

I even smear small roses with my hands .. It's easy to smear, if you get used to it, I just hate washing them!
If somewhere there are bottlenecks and there remains a pile of unlubricated oil - that's okay, if there is a sprinkle on top - the butter will melt at a temperature, the sprinkle will remain, everything will be fine .. At least there were no punctures ..
A.lenka
Nataliwave, Natasha, wah ... what a beauty !!! Chocolate-chocolate !!! And what about RECEP?
Mikhaska
Yes, what are you, Natasha! Since you succeed, I'm only glad to have your dexterous fingers! My hooks sometimes can't hold a spoon, so where can I even stick them in their forms - you can pull out the figs later, save the name!
That's what I want to say! Do you wash your forms? And, I, now, already wrote that it was not mine. I cool it down and with a brush or cloth I brush off only the remnants of crumbs from them. And FSE!
And, vapsche ... What kind of beauty did you show us right now ?! No prescription ... No description ... Ni - ha - ra - sho! You have to share!
Nataliwave
A.lenka, thank you!)) you won't believe it, you ate it - you didn't leave a piece .. I'm going to bake it again tomorrow, it turned out so successful ... I want to take a picture of the cut to show the structure .. The wettest chocolate cake that I ate .. Then, of course , I'll hang the recipe))

Irina, I promise - as soon as there is a photo of the cut - I'll post the recipe right away)))

And I spray out for oil. I can do it with a silicone brush, but first with oil.
Nataliwave
Girls, I wash my forms ... I have a fear that the residues of oil there will turn rancid, but this is harmful ... For a long time I have been using an exceptionally mild baby detergent, which without any surfactants there .. Rub - do not rub anything, with rough sponges - I don't use brushes either, I wipe it dry right away ... So far there have been no problems ..

PySy ... I think it will be possible to insert a cut into your recipe and insert it after the second baking ...

Yes, for 1579 rubles. I ordered it, succumbing to the general adoration of the basket, now I'm waiting for what the operator will say tomorrow ...))

Okay, you can do it without a cut for now, just all the same - you still have to write it in Russian, and I'm a very lazy writer

Nataliwave, Natasha, is this also a recipe from Maida Hitter?
whitechalk
LudMila, you just need to call and order there.
Nataliwave
Quote: A.lenka

Yes, from her, beloved)))
She has so many things - not to bake! I mastered about thirty cupcakes with repeated repetition, and how many Wishlist bookmarks I have pasted - you can't count! I write out the sequence of these wishes in an electronic notebook, so that later I can quickly find a recipe in books)))
In general, the recipes are in an electronic queue, everything is by appointment, as in the good old days)))))
Jiri
Nataliwave, Natasha, we all want recipes!
Cvetaal
Natasha, what a velvet cake turned out, lovely sight!
Mila1
Nataliwave, Natasha, the cupcake (I almost said the cake) looks so velvety !!! Looking forward to the recipe! You just tell us what you put up, otherwise I'm afraid to miss
Nataliwave
Jiri, Irina, if someone joined me and began to bake different Maida recipes with me, it would be possible to open the Temka ... I alone am too lazy for this .. Yesterday I baked a cupcake only because I needed something for work attributed to the last DR ..

By the way, not quite the topic, but the recipe can easily be adapted for Nordic, I think - Mila baked such a cupcake there, I'm just shocked, the beauty is incredible: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in....0

Luda seems to have mentioned that he turns out more effectively in the micro?
Mila1
Nataliwave, Natasha, thank you for your kind words. But in Nordic molds, you cannot bake in a micra. They are made of metal. That is why I love my silicone ones, but only of good quality, plump ones. You can put in them in the oven, in the microwave and in the freezer
Nataliwave
And I'm not saying that you need to put Nordic in the micra ... It's just that the idea itself is very colorful - you can take a good recipe for a vanilla cake for Nordic and play with dyes .. I just have green and yellow, a friend from England brought it. Add more red - and the traffic light is guaranteed! And the fact that the colors in the world are brighter - well, it's okay, there will be a "pastel" cupcake from the oven)))
The idea is definitely good! Need to try!

Svetochka, I grease pies with such a brush before baking, but I don't risk the forms, I'm afraid of damaging the coating with metal

Natasha, try it, then show me a photo, please, maybe it just didn't work out that day. I got it somehow baked and it didn't work out so beautiful

I bought a little Bundt-cupcake book here a couple of months ago, called "Kiss my Bundt". While studying, I baked a good chocolate cake from there (there is a similar recipe on the site, a chocolate cake with boiling water) with an excellent liquid icing ... So, there is a recipe for a basic vanilla cake, and my aunt then describes in detail how, based on this basic recipe make cupcakes of different tastes and colors. For example, in the basic recipe, 1.25 cups of milk (310 ml). She says that the type of liquid is not as important as the volume, and advises, if desired, to replace with other liquids up to 3/4 cup of the total volume of liquid (185 ml) - this can be coffee, coconut milk, liquor, juice. Along the way, she advises adding matching spices or natural flavors. She has a strawberry muffin recipe - also made with a base vanilla muffin with strawberry puree added - muffin pink !! I read reviews for a book on Amazon - really, people get these bright cupcakes! Strawberry, blueberry ... So nothing is impossible .. It's a pity, my hands don't reach yet, and the berries right now are not the same as in the summer ... We will test it!))
A.lenka
Nataliwave, Natasha, can you hand over your address-passwords-turnout, what books and where do you order? It may be possible to buy and join you. It will be very useful to read the recommendations and practice in English.
Nataliwave
A.lenka, Lena, if Maida has, then you can start with her latest book "Cakes" -
🔗
Here is the same book, but the previous edition, but in hardcover and drawings (in pencil, drawn by her daughter) are clearer and depict the finished product of many recipes:
🔗
I have just the second book, I am happy with it. But: these new books are not, only second-hand (although mine was of perfect quality). I buy on the site abebooks.com, it is cheaper there. The site is good, working, without any problems, money is returned if the books did not arrive on time. But I have never abused this, I always wait for the Russian Post to take the books to Moscow on deer .. I ordered Maida's books on eBay a couple of times, the price was good ..
Right now, I counted - I have only 9 different books, several times I ordered more books by Maida as a gift .. For chocolate lovers there is a separate Book of Great Chocolate Desserts - there, besides various cupcakes, there are many desserts, cookies, cakes without baked goods, etc.Only some recipes are repeated. There are a bunch of recipes in her other books, but there are not as many cupcakes as in Cakes (in all the others, except for cupcakes, there are also cookies, cold-hot desserts, puddings, ice cream, tarts, steams).
If you need a universal collection - then you can take the Book of Great Desserts - 🔗

By the way, come on already))

Natasha, it's accepted !!! Come on "you"!

I went to study your links with books. Thank you so much!!!
Tell me, hasn't the new trend with electronic editions reached Maida's books yet?
Nataliwave
Nope .. And our torrent trackers all covered - no .. I would give one of the books to someone - take it, scan it! Only I don’t have such acquaintances ... And I myself am even less able to ..

Nataliwave, Natasha, thanks for another great recipe! If it were not for you with the presentation of the cookie mold, I would have bought it. And so today I received it and baked it today. Really simple, fast, delicious. Thanks again for your work and we look forward to new recipes. Only better 2 forms to have
Nataliwave
Alla, I'm glad I liked it!)) there is business - for 15 minutes! It is ideal when insidious guests call and say that they wanted to visit on the way)))
Angel with horns
Girls, do you think our molds can be washed in the dishwasher WITHOUT detergent and on a short program? Or may it still deteriorate? It is rather dreary to wash the lock with your hands.
Nataliwave
Oops ... Sorry! there is nothing on Chikiriki ..
Loksa
Natasha, I flipped through everything, don't see the recipe?al2, and what recipe do you mention? Chocolate chip cookies from the freezer?
Nataliwave
Oksana, I think Alla was talking about shortbread cookies in the form of Nordic Ware .. which are with chocolate ..

Irina F
Girls! Who managed to grab baskets on Domos?
I called and said that there was one form and they immediately took it away
Loksa
I understood !! I was making a cupcake: "Joanna's Pumpkin Loaf", I don't know the correct translation or not? Maida's recipe. On the weekend I can write, now there is no time. I liked it - unusual!
al2
Yes, girls about these cookies. They are no longer there, they have all been devoured.
