English christmas cupcake

Cocktails ... I think it was.

Its me again. Excuse me for bothering you with questions. I'm talking about marzipan again.
Scratched on bottomless friends and found a sweet white port. ))) I bought glycerin at the pharmacy, but it says: for external use.
Can I add it to marzipan?

can! I put it like that! the doctor told me that you can

Thank you))

girls, who are nineteenth pitch, on Friday - so I had to grease my sedna with a current of my sho ... got me drunk ... they won't reach the sofa now

its me again

marzipan was made from half of the ingredients. It turned out to be something resembling shortbread dough. one kes covered, if you can call it that. Marzipan is not too elastic, tears. This did not affect the appearance of the cupcake for the better. Maybe you can somehow ... smooth it out? I don't know .. he's some kind. sad

[Moyrochka]

Moyrochka, golden, since it resembles shortbread dough - either the marzipan was not ground finely enough, or there was less powdered sugar ..

and put a picture of your tormentor? let's think about what to do ..

[Lisss's]

Lisss'sI've never had such a scary cupcake in my entire life.

made 250 grams of powdered sugar per 100g of almonds. maybe even less is needed?

[Moyrochka]

Moyrochka, well, the marzipan in the photo is quite a decent marzipan, plastic.

the marzipan on the cupcake is ironed with a special iron, but we don't have it - we need to roll it with something flat and hard. I just pressed it against the surface of the table and went like this on the table to level the surface, each side. do this until the marzipan is dry and hardened, and see - it evens out a little?

on a clean table or powdered sugar?

you still need to cover it with something on top. (((what mastic would you recommend?

if it clings to the table, then rub it with powdered sugar so as not to stick.

I buy mastic, I don’t do it myself, so I don’t even know what to advise .. here we have a whole topic about mastic, read it, maybe you will find something suitable https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&board=418.0

I'll also try with mastic, otherwise it's too scary ((

[Lisss's]

Lisss's

And if you put mastic on top of marzipan, do you need to lubricate marzipan with something for gluing?

[Moira]

Moira, I think you can grease marzipan with vodka and put mastic on top. just level the marzipan as much as possible, otherwise it will still not be very even. and then the mastic, while still soft, iron it with something, even on the table .. so that it rolls out and fills the irregularities.

[Leska]

Leska, must be sealed then. with baking paper, foil and wrap a plastic zipper in a bag. It is imperative to protect from moisture - there is a lot of sugar in the cake and it bakes for a long time, that is, - hygroscopicity is great, it will stretch and deteriorate from the air ... but I don't even know what to do with the temperature ... will they eat Christmas?

Rozhdestvensky did not last until Christmas ... what influenced it so specifically and did not understand ... the answer is kind of muddy ... or the fact that even in packaged form and without wine and vodka injections, it still sucked moisture and became heavy, or we celebrated the New Year with friends who were leaving ahead of schedule ... but not even CRUTS LEFT from the cupcake! We asked everyone involved in this MIRACLE-KEKS to convey our deepest regards and best wishes

Moira, do not torment the cupcake: sprinkle with powder on top and make a beautiful package, since it will not stay on the table for more than 5 minutes

[Leska]

Leska, you see, the cupcake was tired on the road, could no longer exist, so I ate I'm glad that I liked my son, he and you my congratulations on the upcoming NG and best wishes !!

Well...

All evening I was busy with mastic. And that's what happened. Of course, not quite what I wanted, but it already looks more gift

Together with my son, we issued two cupcakes for shipment. It's a pity that there were only gold, silver and brilliant green dyes.

This is actually what happened

1.
and
2.

[Moira]

Moirano words !! here's the truth - patience and work will grind everything! it turned out very well, festive and cute!

and what mastic did you use - purchased or made according to forum recipes? give me a link, please, what if the girls come in handy

Thank you!
This is milk paste according to the local recipe. Condensed milk, milk powder, sugar. powder and lemon juice. True, she kneaded and added powder for a long time. But it seemed to work out fine. I used only half, the second was put in a bag and refrigerator, before Christmas.

I'll post my presents tomorrow. That's just .. Do you need to put them in a box or can you put them in a parcel?

Moirochka, first of all, congratulations on the successful completion of the works of the righteous !!!

Secondly, of course, in a box, pack it nicely, and then - in a parcel post, if by mail ... Look, for example, here

here are the patterns of boxes

Here are the answers to such a question in the comments

===========================

PS You don’t need to ask me about the boxes, I didn’t make them, I just found them for you by searching

Moira, you did it very nicely! Good gift!

[Moira]

Moiraif we are lucky and come Leska- Marina, she will share her experience - she just recently passed on such a cupcake to her

but I think that it is dangerous to send in a soft parcel post - they will put a box on top, iiiiii ..... so pack it in cellophane, tie it with a ribbon, and put it in a hard box. and this is how you can send ..

a Gasha provided us with valuable packaging options - I was just staring there, everything is more beautiful ...

Many thanks to everyone for the tips and links.
Found suitable boxes. (Took away at work in the workshop from the cartoners)

As my gifts reach the recipients, I will share their impressions with you.

the cartoners were not told for what purpose? do not have to share a cupcake?

Will cost !!!!! It's not enough for me!

Well, next year, decide again on such a feat, or is that all, the enthusiasm is over?

Lisss's, if the paper is all wet, change it to dry?

yes, better change!

and what is, why raw?

and what is, why raw?

from tears ...

from tears ...

Choy ... he gets a drink every day. Or once a week ??? Like a little.

I do not know why? Itself is now at a loss, I thought so. After impregnation, I wrap it in paper, foil, and a bag. Or is the package not needed?

Well, not all paper, but those places the cat touches top-bottom

I do not know why? Itself is now at a loss, I thought so. After impregnation, I wrap it in paper, foil, and a bag. Or is the package not needed?

normal reaction of the drunk ... drank - and sweated !!!

[simfira]

simfira, everything is correct - in paper, foil, package. Do you "pour" a cupcake once a week? brush with a brush, right? if everything is so, then everything is ok. but change the paper just in case. and leave unclothed on the table for a couple of hours tomorrow, let it ventilate

and it would be even better - to look at the photo, and the paper to be visible .. otherwise I don’t quite understand how he behaves like that ..

ok, see you tomorrow

Secret alcoholics club. My husband still remembers the summer when I called him at work and asked him to buy vodka or brandy on the way home. And then once a week dancing with brandy at the table. I really hope he won't be disappointed.

[Lisss's]

Lisss's

Well, next year, decide again on such a feat, or is that all, the enthusiasm is over?

I will take the final decision after the tasting))) Otherwise, I didn't really taste it. But for now, I think that next year I will bake. ))
Thanks again for the advice and help.

And by the way, the question. When I was making milk paste, I had half left.I carefully wrapped it in cellophane and put it in the refrigerator. Yesterday she poked her finger at her - she is somewhat tight (((Will she stay there for another two weeks and how can I soften it later? Or just throw it out and do it again?

[Lisss's]

Lisss's, Do you recognize Lyudok?



It is he!!!

PS: left for a gift to a colleague in NG, in an IT company, so such an unusual view

Liss, is this phlegm I have, a little or a lot? Swaddled

but mine, this year - the first one left home today

[Lisss's]

Lisss's
Well, what a beautiful !!! How were the snowflakes made? and the color is so intense.

And today I also decorated a cupcake for parents, all the same trees. I have a pale one (((

But this time the marzipan is very soft and elastic, and the mastic really warmed up normally in the microwave.

Happy Christmas to everyone !!!!

well, what can I say .... very spicy, aromatic, rich taste of the holiday

[Lisss's]

Lisss's
Luda, thank you for such a fragrant and festive recipe! Finally crawled with a report
I was going to do it for two years, we usually make long fermentation gingerbread for Christmas, and this year I found time and also added your cupcake to the dances with tambourines

These are the filling: fruits - cherry, pineapple, pear, peach and raisins of three colors; nuts - almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios; spices (1.5 tsp each) - cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and BLACK CARDAMON (first used it - a very sophisticated aroma!)

What can I say - if the ingredients are selected to taste, then cupcake can be eaten immediately! I've tried!
And even the first few crumbs didn't count - after all, the bread crumbles ...
Maybe because I slightly changed the sugar component: 100 g of sugar + 50 g of dark cane syrup + 150 g of honey + 50 g of molasses. molasses and honey - exactly viscous binders

One of us was still warm, and surprisingly (here they scared, scared by ripening) the cake was filled both in taste and in aroma: victory: just swallow your tongue! After 3 weeks, it remained the same tasty, but not tastier, only the rum aroma increased, in the sense that it smelled stronger with alcohol than after baking and the first smearing with rum

At the end of the year I will bake a double portion!

Apparently the Temko was cleaned, I don't see my report. A summary of the previous series. My son did not even try the cake for the simple reason that he does not recognize any fruit and berry additives in baking. The husband and daughter did not express any obvious delight. But .... I had one cupcake and I was quietly pinching it in order to determine the shelf life. And somehow my daughter and my husband caught me doing this. Well, what can I say ... They now use it a little bit to prolong the pleasure. But they said to prepare their own candied fruit for next year. So thank you again for dragging me into this six week adventure. Personally, I really liked the process

[Moira]

It is too early? And then I already go, I look at all kinds of dried fruits / nuts))

Moira, yeah, I recently cooked here at this link - https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=177150.0, there I soaked the fruit for a day, and so at once I remembered the cupcake, you can cook this "motley dog" for warm-up. very tasty, and it smells like rum, almost like ours

I have another uneaten lie

SchuMakher, kaneshna, it's not fat, you can't eat a lot of it!

I'm for bigger gifts, all the same, I bake .. I have such deep aluminum bowls, 10 cm in diameter, I bake in them ..

So I think that they are too small. It hurts me to cut the cupcakes. Then they must be tightened. And if in the form, then you can do with the glaze, from above.

I really love spicy gingerbreads ....: nyam: I have both silicone muffins and a set of teflon sausages: 3 pieces and all of different sizes. What is better?

Girls, the year before last I baked some of the cupcakes (those that are to be taken away) in paper cakes. Everything is fine, nothing is burnt.
