Taman Dibuat dari 4.200 Cupcake

Semarang - Ini akan jadi libur akhir pekan yang spesial di Mal Paragon Semarang, untuk para traveler semua. Ada sebuah taman yang terbuat dari 4.200 cupcake. Keren banget!



Taman ini diberi nama Garden Cupcake dalam acara Fortune Baking Festival.

Manajer toko bahan baku kue Fortune, Ifen mengatakan, untuk membuat Garden Cupcake dibutuhkan bahan dasar berupa 150 kg tepung, 100 kg gula dan 200 kg telur. Pembuatannya sendiri membutuhkan waktu empat hari penuh dan mengerahkan 200 murid Fortune.

"Cupcake dibuat oleh murid-murid Fortune, mereka menggabungkannya ramai-ramai di Mal Paragon," kata Ifen di acara Fortune Baking Festival, Mal Paragon, Jalan Pemuda, Semarang.
Ribuan Cupcake berwarna hijau terang tersebut ditata sedemikian rupa sehingga menyerupai sebuah taman lengkap dengan kolamnya. Hiasan berupa gula-gula berbentuk tongkat, labu dan manusia menghiasi Garden Cupcake.

Dengan jumlah yang banyak tersebut Fortune memperoleh apresiasi dari Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia (Muri) dengan mendapatkan penghargaan rangkaian cupcake terbanyak.

"Secara resmi Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia memberikan penghargaan pemecahan rekor dengan nomor 5490," kata perwakilan Muri, Widyawati.

Sementara itu Wakil Gubernur Jateng, Rustriningsih usai membuka acara sore tadi mengatakan, dengan adanya Fortune Baking Festival, makin banyak masyarakat yang terinspirasi membangun usaha di bidang pembuatan kue.

"Semoga bisa menjadi inspirasi usaha di bidang pembuatan kue karena tersedia alat-alatnya tersedia banyak dan mudah didapat," katanya.

General Manager Paragon Mal, Handoyo menambahkan, acara tersebut sangat menarik pengunjung. 



Salah satu pengunjung dari Yogyakarta, Fiki Amalia justru lebih tertarik dengan demo pembuatan kue yang diadakan di festival tersebut daripada pemecahan rekor Cupcake terbanyak. "Saya mencari ilmu membuat kue di sini," kata Fiki.

Selain Garden Cupcake, dalam Fortune Baking Festival juga diadakan demo membuat kue, pameran hasil karya murid Fortune berupa kue tart cantik dan kue-kue lainnya. Ada juga 22 stand makanan yang siap dikunjungi. Pengunjung diperbolehkan mencoba hasil karya murid Fortune sepuasnya dengan hanya membayar Rp 25 ribu untuk dewasa dan Rp 15 ribu untuk anak-anak.

Oh how we love these gorgeous Mater themed party cupcakes.  We hope these inspire you for your Cars theme party.

cars themed party cupcakes
*This is an American recipe so some items may need to be substituted in Australia.
You’ll need:

  • 1 box cake mix
  • 2 16 oz cans of milk chocolate frosting
  • 16 oz can of vanilla frosting
  • 6 cup large muffin baking pan
  • 12 cup regular size cupcake baking pan
  • 4.44 oz box of Keebler Fudge Shoppe Grasshopper Cookies (100 Calorie Right Bites)
  • Ziploc bag
  • 12 White M&M’s candies (headlights)
  • 12 Green M&M’s candies (eyes)
  • 6 Eclipse gum pieces (teeth)
  • 6 inch cardboard cake boards
  • Black edible ink pen
  • Toothpicks
Instructions:
1. Coat both pans with non-stick spray. Prepare cake batter and fill both pans about 2/3 full. Bake as directed on the package and let cool.
2. Count out 60 cookies and set aside. Place the remaining cookies in a Ziploc bag and finely crush them with a rolling pin or glass. Step 2
3. Set aside 12 green and 12 white M&M’s. (Use yellow if you can’t easily find the white ones.) Step 3
4. For Mater’s teeth, cut each piece of gum into two pieces so one piece is larger than the other. Step 4
5. Cut the tops off of 6 of the cupcakes so you can place them upside down for the truck bed. Before turning upside down, frost the sides and bottom (now top) with milk chocolate frosting and sprinkle with cookie crumbs Step 5
6. Place the cupcakes, cut side down toward the back of a 6-inch cake board. Place a dollop of frosting on the board to help the cupcakes stay in place. Step 6
7. Frost the sides of the larger muffin-size cupcakes. Sprinkle some of the crushed cookie pieces on the sides and then place on the cake board right in front of the other cupcake. Frost the top and sprinkle with more cookie crumbs. Attach one cookie to the front of each muffin-size cupcake for the mouth. Step 7
8. For each tire, attach two cookies together using frosting and then attach two tires to the larger cupcake and two in back to the smaller cupcake.
9. Place one more cookie on the top for the tire on Mater’s hood. Attach the teeth to the cookie mouth with a small amount of frosting. Step 9
10. For the top of the trucks, first frost about half of each of the remaining cupcakes with vanilla frosting. You can place these in the freezer for a few minutes for the frosting to harden and then it will be easier to frost over the vanilla edges with chocolate frosting to finish Mater’s face. Frost the sides and top with chocolate and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Step 10
11. Attach two green M&M’s in place for eyes and two white M&M’s in place for headlights. Use a black edible ink pen to draw pupils on the eyes and when dry, you can use a toothpick to dot a small amount of vanilla frosting for extra detail. Heat it slightly in the microwave and it will be easier to dot on. The Speckled Freckle Party Place thanks Family Go for this great recipe.

Lightning McQueen Cupcakes

No one knows better than Lightning McQueen just how bumpy the road to success can be. Add a few transcontinental twists and turns, and you've got an edge-of-the-seat race to the finish. But rest assured, Lightning's quick -- just watch how fast these cupcakes disappear!
You'll need:
  • Batch of frosted cupcakes
  • White chocolate candy bar or bar of white baking chocolate
  • Red cupcake icing
  • Toothpick
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate candies with brown shells (such as M&Ms)
  • Small chocolate candies with yellow shells (such as M&M Minis)
Instructions:
1. For the windshields, cut small rectangles (about 1- by 1.75-inches) from the white chocolate. Pipe a line of red icing trim along the side and top edges of each rectangle. Then use the tip of a toothpick to "drill" shallow holes where the eyes will go, and gently press mini chocolate chips (tips down) in place. Set the windshields aside until the icing hardens.
2. Working with one cupcake at a time, frost the top with red icing. Gently press a windshield partway down into the center of the cupcake.
3. Press two sets of brown-shelled candies into the frosting on the sides of the cupcake for tires.
4. Add headlights by turning yellow-shelled candies on edge and pressing them into the frosting (a toothpick comes in handy for this). For a mouth, press a small curve of white chocolate into the frosting at the front of the cupcake.

Christine Wins MasterChef USA 2012: Did She Deserve It?

Christine Ha has been named the winner of MasterChef 2012. Her fortitude and determination were amazing and the win was well deserved.
This episode had Christine Ha battling Josh Marks in a full menu challenge. Her courses were a Thai crab salad for appetizer, braised pork belly for entree, and a coconut lime sorbet for dessert. She played it safe by using the pressure cooker. It would be hard for her to cook by frying or baking because she wouldn’t be able to see when it’s done. By putting the pork belly in the pressure cooker, she could be certain it would be fully cooked and super tender. Her menu was based on her mothers cooking- good homestyle Asian food. She kept her flavours simple but impacting.
Her crab salad appetizer was great, with a sour/spicy vinaigrette. The judges loved the flavours but thought it might be too simple. Her pork belly entree was too rustic looking for the finale. The judges did love the taste, but her presentation should have been more professional. We’ve seen much prettier dish from her. Her dessert of coconut lime sorbet was fresh after the heavy pork belly dish.
In the end it was Christine who won and Josh was eliminated. Congratulations on Christine Ha winning MasterChef 2012!

Do you think Christine deserved to win?
