My blog 1 Year Old & Chocolate Cupcakes


Today, my blog is one year old. Still a baby, isn´t it?. Until now, I´ve been collected more than one hundred recipes, not bad. Here is my first posting. So, I would like to thank you: all my friends who leave me comments, support, share recipes, stopping by my site. Inspired by Hany von Gillern, I made cupcakes decorated with marzipan mini roses. Actually, I´m not a big fan of marzipan, but I couldn´t found fondant in nearby supermarkets.

Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and ground almond (source: Wikipedia)

Ingredients:
M
akes 21 cupcakes
4 eggs
1 tsp emulsifier TBM
75 g castor sugar

100 g all purpose flour
15 g (3 teaspoons) chocolate powder
1 tablespoon maizena/corn flour




directions: put eggs, sugar and emulsifier into a bowl of electric mixer, beat on high speed until mixture is thick and creamy. Sift dry ingredients so that all ingredients are thoroughly combined, with spatula or with a low speed mixer. Pour mixture into muffins baking pan. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180°C.

Happy 1st Birthday to your blog. Hope you have more years of fun churning up yummy dishes and bakes from you kitchen.

Aku juga belom pernah nemuin fondant di supermarket, Mbak. Kalo di internet banyak yang jual. Aku suka belanja alat2 kue di http://backfun.de Barang2 Wilton juga banyak di sana :)

Kalo fondant, aku pakai Marshmallow fondant. Cara bikinnya aku contek dari CakeCentral.com Tapi waktu aku cek, websitenya lagi perbaikan.

Maaf ya Mbak, kepanjangan nulisnya :)

Dwiana P said...

Congratulation yah bu. Blognya makin cakep and resepnya selalu bikin ilerku tumpang qiqiiqi.
Keep up a good work!

Hany Von Gillern said...

Dah nyoba bikin pake marzipan ya Ret. kenapa gak bikin sendiri aja sih Ret fondantnya. Aku pernah lihat di toko di sini marzipan siap pake, tapi aku kurang familiar dengan marzipan, kayaknya tersturnya lebih halus fondant ya Ret?

Little Corner of Mine said...

Happy one year old to you and looking forward to many more years to come. :)

Unknown said...

met ultah ya mba...

aku belon pernah bikin cupcake...semoga by my 1st bday ntar juga dah bisa bikin (lho kok tiru-tiru iki)

Retno Prihadana said...

Icook4fun,chen Marlin, Dwiana, Little corner of mine, mochachocolata Rita: Thank you!
Sheila: Thanks infonya ya
Hany von gillern: bikin fondant sendiri belum pernah..lha wong belum bisa, musti surfing cari tau caranya dulu gimana :)). Tekstur marzipan memang jadi kurang halus karena pake almond.

Miming said...

Buat blog-e mbak retno met ultah ya... smoga tambah rajin dan semangat teerjun di dapur.

Duh.. mbak, aku kok yo lali kapan jane mulai nge-blog hehehe...

Mbak nyoba bikin sendiri fondant dr putih telur, icing sugar, sama glucose syrup. Pasti bisa deh...

daphne said...

oh oh! Happy birthday blog!

Cute cupcakes too! It must be alot of effort to manipulate the fondant.

Retno Prihadana said...

Miming: Makasih ya. Aku liat beberapa resep fondant ada juga yang nggak pake putih telur ya. Kadang agak ragu kalau harus pakai putih telur mentah.
Daphne: Thank you. I used Marzipan dear...:))
