【厨艺】如何做一个蓝宝石杯糕

INGREDIENTS:
Candy sapphires:
1 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of light corn syrup
1/3 cup of water
Blue hard candy coloring
Raspberry/blueberry Flavoring
Silicone mold
Blue shimmer/lustre dust

Blueberry buttercream frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
3 cups confectioner’s sugar
3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
½ tsp blueberry emulsion flavoring

White cupcake box mix, typically needs:
Eggs
Vegetable oil
Cupcake liners (white or tan colored)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a large deep sauce pan combine water, sugar, corn syrup, and food coloring. Mix over medium high heat until sugar starts to dissolve. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan making sure it does not touch the bottom of pan for an accurate temperature.

2. Continue to boil until sugar mixture reaches 300 degrees (hard crack stage) about 20 minutes. Watch closely, if mixture starts to boil to close to the edge of pan remove from heat, and stir until bubbles subside. Then return to medium high heat. It’s better to slightly be over 300°F than under for candy to set properly.

3. Once mixture reaches 300 degrees remove from heat and stir in the flavoring, working quickly.

4. Pour immediately into molds. Allow to cool for 1 hour.

5. Bake cupcakes according to the package.

6. Begin making the frosting.

7. OPTIONAL: place about 1 1/2 cups worth of the blueberries in a small food processor or blender and puree until smooth, stop to scrape the sides as needed. This should only take a minute or two.

7. Beat butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until creamy.

8. Turn mixer to low and add confectioner’s sugar until combined.

9. Add heavy cream, blueberry emulsion and a couple drops of blue food coloring to desired shade. Beat until frosting is smooth and blue.

10. If adding optional pureed blueberries, continue adding confectioner’s sugar and mixing until the frosting is thick and holds its shape.

11. Fill a piping bag, cut off the tip and frost cupcakes in a circular motion working inwards. Take your candy gems and place all around the cupcake top to finish the look.

原料准备：

蓝宝石糖果：

1杯糖

1/3杯淡玉米糖浆

1/3杯水

蓝色食用色素

覆盆子以及蓝莓调味料

硅胶模具

可食用蓝色亮粉

 

蓝莓奶油糖霜：

1杯无盐黄油（冷藏并且切丁）

3杯糖果糖

3汤匙浓奶油

½茶匙蓝莓乳液调味剂

 

蛋糕本体：

适量鸡蛋

适量植物油

适量面粉

当你准备好以上材料 就可以开始制作了（实在买不到的就阉割掉或者找代替品吧）

制作过程：

1.将水、糖、玉米糖浆和使用色素混色在一起放到锅里，中火加热，当糖开始溶解的时候使用温度计或者其他技术得到当前温度。（如果你可以判断温度你也可以不这么做 使用温度计的时候注意别烧到自己了）

2.继续加热约20分钟，直至150度。如果里面的东西块溢出来的话可以先把锅拿起来并且搅拌，等到气泡之类的东西下去之后再继续加热。

3.到达150度之后立刻关火并且加入调料进行搅拌，然后倒入模具，冷却一个小时。

4.冷却完之后就可以开始烤制了 这个时候开始制作糖霜。

5.用搅拌机把黄油打成奶油（也可以手动 只要你可以和搅拌机一样快）

6.把搅拌机的档位调小一些，加入糖直到混合。

7.加入奶油，蓝莓调料和少量蓝色的使用色素（看着加 别加太多 够蓝就行了），继续搅拌，直到糖霜变成蓝色，并且平滑。

8.把制作好的糖霜加到专门的容器（都见过生日蛋糕怎么做的吧，就那个一袋一袋的奶油那种，实在不行你找个干净的塑料袋弄成那个样子也能当代替品）中，然后挤压到蛋糕上，并且加上一开始准备的蓝莓糖果就做完啦。

如果你完全按照此步骤制作但是做出来很糟糕的话可以先学习一下如果制作普通的蛋糕。
