And I just soaked it with a little delay. After celebrating Mom's 70th birthday over the weekend, a little cooking break was required.

Hello everyone! I am getting out of the underground ... I read for a long time, I was inspired ... I made up my mind! I baked it last Thursday, I will drink it tomorrow. I was very afraid, but everything was successful. I cut one for a test, I liked it, mom and daughter are not very fat. But I think that after 6 weeks the taste will be balanced. Baked for almost 4 hours at 130 degrees. 4 forms stood close to each other. Inside I have it, too, brown. In general, I am more than satisfied with the first experience.
Tanya, I am also from Kazakhstan, impregnated with "Turkestan" cognac (I generally love it). I think that both "Al-Farabi" and "Kazakhtan" (Bakhus firm) will do.
TanushaS
ludast , thanks for the advice about cognac! Otherwise, I don't drink anything at all, no one in the family really understands either, but I went into the store, and there wine and vodka products and prices in some unimaginable range ... the saleswoman said that their assortment is still small, but through The 2 weeks before the new year will be a lot more.
ludast
Tanya, yes to your health! I just drink only strong alcohol (as my boss says, I don’t do stupid things). And to pay big money for a dubious quality, the toad strangles. We bring this cognac (brandy) to Russia when we go to visit our relatives, they like it. And I'm not sure that those, such as Moldovan ones, which we sell better than ours.

ludast, he is like that - he is a heavy cake, it is given out in small thin slices, because you still can't eat a lot
ludast
Thank you, Luda, I understand that. But the taste is unusual ... I think I will repeat it. Now I have a problem - how to cover it in order to present it - I have never done mastic or marzipan ...
Lisss's
ludast, and show me another cut? interesting to see ..

both mastic and marzipan are easy to make, try it. you can only do one thing. as for me, marzipan tastes better than candy, I can have a link to the recipe on the first page of this topic, just add the powdered sugar not all at once, but little by little, until it becomes like plasticine. I took much less powder than the recipe

So why did I ferment the one and a half norm then? Or it can be finished until next summer thin slices ?!
ludast
Lyuda, they have already eaten the cut, and if I still cut it, it will not live to see Christmas ... And so, whole, when my daughter arrives, I will ask to put a picture out, I can not.

Luysia, I had a piece of cupcake for almost a year and didn't spoil a bit! Then they ate it.

Sometimes it happens to me, then everything is without problems at once, but then how will I start to get hung up on trifles, if, something very responsible.(not in the subject, when I gave birth, I remember a question arose to which I found the answer, oh, how not soon "how often newborns are washed with soap", but with the rest, for some reason there were no questions
I-na
Oh-oh girls ... I can't even imagine how you can store baked goods for a year.
By Sunday evening (baked on Saturday), a couple of pieces remained from the full portion, my husband grumbled that he almost did not get it. Apparently, the cat ate everything ...
In general, it seems to me that I will live until Christmas, soaked-baked ...

Yeah! Someone opens to smell, but I climbed up to try it. Current one piece at a time !!! True! A slice of strawberries, raisins, cranberries, figs, almonds, ..... Yaka yummy
And the hand stretches and stretches .... Shoot me out of the kitchen!

And I let the man go on watch, and soaked myself a little in a small jar separately, bought fruit a little more than the norm with a specialist 0-pppp The last 6 characters - this is a letter to you from my cat, for some reason in English. Although in the subject ...
vernisag
Yeah tasteful, I also get on in a jar in a quiet place ... I even had such a thought, I have a tama in a jar of dried fruits 2100kg 1.5 norms, we can gobble up 0, 5 then this .... huh?

And my brandy smells a lot. I hope it will wear off.
And for some reason it doesn't smell like spices at all. Sprinkled in nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and a little white pepper.
Olga from Voronezh
My spice jar smells good. I bought the freshest cloves and cinnamon and ground them myself. Only with cinnamon I tortured myself and the coffee grinder.
In the afternoon I went to "Khlebograd" for one, and bought another: ready-made sugar mastic and marzipan. Will it fit? I have never talked to them, as I love cream cakes and pastries.

Olya, there is a link on the first page - how to cover cupcakes with marzipan, and also look at the link - how to decorate a cupcake - New Year's bells, there are also detailed photos ..

in short - rolled out on powdered sugar, like dough, only not on flour, but on powder. rolls out thicker, especially for beginners, it will tear. the cake is smeared with slightly warmed apricot jam filtered through a sieve, the mastic is transferred on a rolling pin and smoothed. all!

mastic does not tolerate moisture ... better butter cream under it ... and roll out not on powder, but on starch ...

I skimmed the topic in passing, I remembered that it would be nice to decorate the finished cupcake with something wrapped around it. More than one week after that, I accidentally bought sugar mastic and marzipan 1: 2, as well as helium food coloring lilac (strawberry), green (turquoise), blue, brown and yellow. Now I started thinking about how to apply it to the Christmas cake, where to start.

where to start ... first of all, properly align the product ... with ordinary butter cream (butter + condensed milk or powdered sugar), then cool in the refrigerator. And decorate according to your taste and abilities ... Mastic and marzipan are very well painted with gel dyes. All work with mastic or marzipan should be performed on starch .... if you use powder, then the mastic will be very dense and will begin to crumble from an excess of powder.
Olga from Voronezh
Oksanochka, thank you! Will it be possible to seek advice on mastic and marzipan along the way (if necessary)?
Oksana, how about (roughly) you might need some mastics to cover the Christmas cake?

Oksana, your advice is perfectly valid for cakes. but this cupcake is not a cake. it is not leveled with butter with condensed milk, because the oil will turn rancid during storage. in particular, this is one of the reasons why the surface of the cake is smeared with apricot jam, and marzipan is put on the jam and then on the marzipan - mastic.

Moreover, the recipe for this cake dough already contains 350 g of butter and 350 g of sugar, and those who have tried it will confirm that adding butter cream with condensed milk to it would be too much.

please give advice in relation to this product, not advice on working with marzipan mastic in general

Oksana,
please give advice in relation to this product, not advice on working with marzipan mastic in general
My advice can be taken if you consume the cake immediately, after it is ripe, of course. It's just that mastic is not stored for years, it will deteriorate and dry up ... unlike an uncoated cake, that's why I gave this advice. And for leveling, it is not necessary to apply too thick a layer of cream ... as a rule, it does not affect the taste of the product .... and apricot confiture isn't it sweet ???
