美人球 (BELLE OF THE BALL)Ingredients :-
Equipment
2.5 litre (10-cup) Dolly Varden cake pan
25cm-round prepared cake board
Sticky pan
Cake
2 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup (80ml) water
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1 teaspoon gelatine
2 tablespoons water, extra
250g butter, softened
White food colouring, optional
Decorations
Barbie doll in bride dress
2 tablespoons silver cachous
35 large oval silver cachous (if not available, use round cachous instead)
2 small white feathers (for hair)
White ribbon (to tie around waist)
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Greased pan well. Make cake mixes following cake directions. Pour the mixture into pan; bake for about 1 hour or until cooked. Stand cake in the pan for about 5 mins, then turn out onto wire rack to cook.
2. Combine milk, water and caster sugar in a small pan; stir over low heat (do not boil), until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle gelatine over extra water in a cup, add to pan; stir syrup until gelatine dissolves. Cool to room temperature.
3. Beat butter with an electric mixer until pale. Gradually beat in cooled syrup; beat until light and fluffy. Tint icing with white colouring, if using.
4. Trim base of the cake. Position it on the prepared board flat-side down; secure with a little icing. Use a long knife and spoon, to make a hole in the top of the cake to fit the doll.
5. Spread icing over cake. Using the picture as a guide, gently press silver decorations into icing. Use your finger or a palette knife to rough up icing in the front of the dress, to look like lace.
6. Attach feathers to doll's hair with sticky tape. Put her into the top of the cake. Tie ribbon around her waist to hide any gaps.
