Sinterklaas cake and some history

1 Comment


Sinterklaas is celebrated annually with the giving of gifts on 5 December, the night before Saint Nicholas Day in the Northern Netherlands and on the morning of 6 December, Saint Nicholas Day itself, in the southern provinces, Belgium, Luxembourg and Northern France.
He is also well known in territories of the former Dutch Empire, including Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.

Normally I don’t make Sinterklaas cake, not because I don’t want to but around this time of the year I’m busy with Christmas projects.


So when I got this order I was very happy to make the cake! The theme was Sinterklaas so I could anything I want around this theme. The bag is very popular because in the bag you can found the presents and candies!

So I made the bag of Sinterklaas and I put all kinds of sweets and handmade carrots. The Cake is airbrushed.


The customer was happy with the cake! Now I can concentrate with my Christmas projects.
Short YouTube video of the Sinterklaas cake:

Tip: How to make a moist Cake

The last few weeks I received a lot of e-mail asking me “how can I make my cake moist?” The  number one mistake, that most of the people make is over mix their batter! Or they overcooked there cake. NO wonder that they get a very dry cake! Bleh!!!
But if you aren’t  overcooking or mixing too much, there are a few tips that I can give you to make a moist cake!
1.       The most important thing is to not overcook the cake or cupcakes.  Bake according to the recipe but check for doneness the last 5-10 minutes before scheduled.  You know it’s done when a toothpick in the center comes out with just a few cake crumbs attached or the cake springs back when pressed in the center. 


2.       Sour cream  for moistness.  You can also add applesauce to increase moistness.  Be careful though, dumping in gobs of moistening agents often leads to little more than a soggy, wet mess.  Don’t confuse “moist” with “wet.


3.       Egg whites can dry out a cake, so baking experts recommend using just the egg yolks for a moister cake.  I have never tried just the egg yolks but have added an extra egg.  This explains why white cakes are usually drier than other flavors . . . there are no egg yolks in white cakes.



4.       Make cupcakes the day before you need them.  Bake your cupcakes for 25 minutes on 175 degrees Celsius.  They come out great every time.  Since all ovens vary, find out what works for your oven and then modify recipes accordingly.
Frost and decorate them and then put them in an air tight container.  I’m not sure exactly why but letting them sit one day will make them very moist and richer tasting.

5.       Brush cake layers with simple syrup made by simmering equal amounts of water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves completely. The syrup keeps the layers moist.



If you another tips that can help for a moist cake, just lef a comment behind with your tip!

How do you manage work and Browny’s Cakes

The last two month I have been busy as always. People ask me sometimes how do you manage to work 40 hours a week and also bake cakes for your own business? It’s indeed a lot of work, but what helps me a lot is a good schedule. I have board, where I put all my cakes. On my board I put everything that I need to make to put on a cake and also everything that I need to buy to make these cakes.

For example Minnie mouse cake:

Things to make for a Minnie mouse cake:
1. The Minnie mouse topper
2. The bow
3. The dots
4. The stripes
5. Decorate the cake board

Things that I need to buy to make the cake and filling:
1. Cake: eggs, flour, butter…..
2. Filling: butter, vanilla extract…

Extra for the cake:
1. Cake board
2. Ribbon for the cake board
3. Fondant or marzipan to decorate the cake
4. Modelling paste for the Minnie Cake topper

Minnie mouse cake – Browny’s Cakes

And those thing is only for one cake. So in a month I can have like 15-20 cakes so all those steps multiple by 20 times.

The customers don’t see all these preparation. That’s why when someone tells me the cake is too expensive and I explain then all the steps they understand the price and all the work that has to be done for their cake.

Beside having a good schedule is also important having a lot of love and creativity when making these cakes. I do this because I love making  something unique every time. And what makes me also very happy is seeing the happiness and joy that my cakes can give to my customers.

Beside baking and decorating I’m also blessed, that I can manage my own administration. So I can combine my passion for finance also in my own businnes. So I’m an all around Business women!

My wish is to have my own Cake shop one day! For that I need to work very hard and keep my dream alive. Maybe with some good investors and my hard work, my dream can soon become true.

Nothing is impossible if you work hard and dedicated! Look at me this cake business start as a hobby and it growth to something beautiful and Tasty “Browny’s Cakes”

Ps. If you know someone who want the invest his money in a hard working cake decorator let him/her send me an e-mail! Thanks for the support!!

Tiramisu recipe – reseta di Tiramisu

Tiramisu meaning “lift me up”,  is a popular coffee-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavored with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts.

This recipe is easy to make and you don’t need a lot of ingredients. Let’s start baking!!
Ingredients:
  • 5 egg Yolks
  • ¾ cup of sugar
  • 5 egg white
  • Pinch of salt
  • 455 gr. Mascarpone
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 ½ cup Decaf coffee
  • 400 gr. Ladyfingers
  • 2 table spoon cacao powder


    Preparations:

    The Coffee mixture

    Combine the decaf coffee with the milk in a small bowl and set aside. 



    The filling
    • Beat the egg yolks and sugar with a mixer till a smooth cream.
    • Mix the mascarpone with the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
    • Beat the egg white and pinch of salt till stiff peaks
    • Fold half of the egg white into the egg yolk-mascarpone mixture, then the remaining half just until fully incorporated. Don’t beat otherwise you will lose all the air.


    Assemble Tiramisu

    • Dip the ladyfingers (per layer) very quickly into the coffee, and line in your bowl
    • Spread a layer of the mascarpone filling over the lady fingers and repeat this till you reach the top of the bowl ending with the mascarpone filling.
    • Dust the top with cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
    • When ready to serve, dust with extra cocoa powder. Leave out at room temperature about 20 minutes before serving. 

      Leave out at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.When you are ready to serve, dust with extra cocoa powder.
      Important: Tiramisu can be chilled up to 2 days, but no longer or else the ladyfingers will break down too much.

      Once upon a time there was a POOP Cake……

      Once upon a time a lady was sitting in a small room waiting to deliver one of the sweetest POOP….

      Hhahahaha enough joking, but really this was one of the most strangest cake order I ever received till now. I received the pic below in a message, with question “Can you make this cake” And how much will it costs.

      I though are you serious…. Do you want to give this cake as a present to someone?? I wouldn’t be so happy receiving this cake. But she than told me there is a story behind this cake. But she didn’t tell me the story, so I’m still curious.

      When she came to pick up the cake, she was very happy. Mine version of the cake was more beautiful then on the picture that she send to me. Uhm…. of course I bake and decorate the cake with love.

      The making of the Poop Cake:
      This cake is made of 3  round chocolate cakes. Then I shape the cakes in the form of a Poop.

      This chocolate cake is filled with chocolate frosting and chocolate ganache. And of course the cake is also covered with chocolate ganache.

      Up to the next challenge!!

      If you need a recipe or you want to make a cake and don’t know how just leave a message behind or send me an e-mail info@brownyscakes.com

      Cake of past weeks

      Hi everyone. I have been busy. Busy in a good way, so I’m not complaining. I have two jobs ( I worked 80 hours a week) and I loved them both.

      In the past couple of weeks I made some amazing cakes. For example this Camera cake. It was a challenge for me and a surprise for the birthday lady. I guess I did a very pretty good job making this Camera cake. Or not?

      I also had 2 very cute cakes for the birth of a baby girl and baby boy. I made the Pink one first and another lady wanted it for her niece. So I made a blue one version of the cake. Aren’t they cute!! And the baby were also very cute.

      It’s a Girl
      Pink Version – Birth cake
      It’s a Boy
      Blue version – Birth cake
      I also had some last minutes cakes. Why? Hhahahhaa how can you forget your birthday or birthday of relative…. The cake is the first thing that you order for a birthday celebration.
      Ok, this one was a last minute box cake. Everything in a box is always very interesting… I think, or not?
      Box Cake

      I Always wanted to make a pillow cake. The shape of these cakes I found very fascinated. So instead of buying a pillow baking pan, I shaped the cake myself. Otherwise It wouldn’t be so much fun.

      This is the before and after of the Pillow cake. It’s amazing. It was for a girl that turned 3.
      Before
       After

      To end this blog I had two simple cake for a 46 year birthday. A carrot cake and a very colorful cake.

      I hope you enjoy looking to my cake pictures and reading my blog! Till a next blog.
