Oreo Cheese(cup)cakes



Today - one of the hottest days in Dk i decided to make not one, but 36 small cheesecakes. It sure would have been a lot less time consuming to make 1 or 2 large round ones, but when inspiration hits, you have to obey...



So theese - and their other friends - are going with Miss Sofie to school tomorrow.
I hope the young ones like them :)


I love these cupcake cases, they would be great for icecream too..


 
For english recipe go to Bakers Royale
 
 
In danish:
Til ca. 16 cupcakes
 
200 g digestives - 50 g lys brun sukker - 100 g smeltet smør
 
100 g knuste Oreo´s - 1 bøtte mini Oreo´s - 1/2 liter fløde - 450g philadelphia ost (ikke light) - 85 g suger - 1/2 tsk salt - 1 spsk citron saft - 2 tsk vanille sukker
 
Digestives, sukker og smeltet smør blendes godt sammen og presses godt ned i muffinsforme eller lignende. Til mine små forme er brugt 20 g pr. form.
 
Fløden piskes stiv og sættes til side.  Herefter hældes blødgjort ost, sukker, salt, vanillesukker og citron saft i en skål og piskes til det er godt blandet sammen, cirka 3-5 minutter. Fløden blandes i, (gem lidt til pynt) og der piskes til blandingen er blød. De knuste Oreo´s foldes i til sidst.
 
Herefter fyldes blandingen i formene og de sættes i køleskab 6 timer eller bedre endnu, natten over.
 
De serveres kølige f.eks. som her, med en dut flødeskum på toppen og en mini Oreo.

Blossoms


This dummy took like an hour or so to make - you gotta love the Blossom Sugar art molds for a fast production.


You simply roll out your fondant, cut with the cutter, place in the mold - press, and then you have the cutest little flower with amazing details. On the backside also!


The colour is Wiltons Pink Terracotta - nice :)

Baby blue Regal Ice

Playing with Renshaws Regal ice, pre-dyed Baby blue. I´m not that big a fan of Regal Ice, but i found that adding a small amount of tylose powder to the fondant, it´s ok to work with, as this dummy shows. (pictures taken with an Iphone, through a window, and are not edited).
For borders and decorations a larger amount of tylose is needed.



Small crown from Patchwork cutters - The fondant holds shape nicely :)
Painted with Rainbow Dust Metallic´s, copper - Wow! Great to work with!


Rainbow Dust Metallic - Light silver - beautiful and delicate!

Rainbow Dust Metallic - Dark silver - so shiny.

Rainbow Dust Metallic - Dark gold - Wonderful.

Regal Ice on its own is not very useable for molds like the silicone-pearl mold, as the string of pearls breaks several times along the way when i try to remove it from the mold. But - by adding tylose again, it works!

Maybe Renshaws fondant is mostly for covering cakes? I don´t know for sure, but i know now that tylose powder does the trick for me anyways :)
