We like to also add sucrose esters to our buttercream. When beaten together with the other ingredients, the butter aerates and doubles in volume.
Then, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet.Īs the name implies, butter is the base of a proper buttercream frosting. Whisk together the wet ingredients in one bowl sift together the dry ingredients in another (sifting distributes the dry ingredients thoroughly). Two-stage mixing is fundamental to making batters. When oil and starch separate, baked goods begin to get stale just a small amount of GMS will add moistness and help extend the life of your cupcakes. The secret ingredient we’ve added is glycerol monostearate (GMS), which acts as an emulsifier to bind the oil and hydrated starch in the batter. And whole eggs give the cake its golden hue. Cake flour produces a finer texture than all-purpose flour thanks to its lower protein (gluten-producing) content. We use canola oil instead of butter to achieve the ideal balance of airy and moist. Perfect yellow cake is moist and feather light, with a velvety crumb. It’s almost as easy to make from scratch as it is from a box mix-and a million times tastier. Yellow cake, like the cupcake itself, is an American invention. Our vanilla cupcake is the standard “yellow cake” that is much beloved at birthday parties from coast to coast. But other cake flavors work just as well-perhaps you’d like to try retro red velvet or gingerbread? Whatever flavor you choose, be prepared for lots of oohs and aahs from the guests at your next holiday party. Our cupcake is a basic vanilla cake topped with buttercream frosting. Sheet gelatin is an ingredient commonly used by European cooks but are rather new to Americans. In order to get the proper crystal-like sparkle, LaBau finally settled upon platinum-grade sheet gelatin. However, LaBau’s earliest attempts with powdered gelatin yielded cloudy, unsatisfactory results. She dipped a small balloon into melted gelatin, let the gelatin harden, and then deflated the balloon, leaving a clear gelatin bubble. Her method is as simple as it is brilliant.
Then Sugar Hero’s Elizabeth LaBau improved upon this recipe with a completely edible version. She used the bottom of a plastic Coca-Cola bottle to represent the globe. But in this country, where we welcome the yuletide with flashing lights and glittering plastic lawn ornaments, snow globe cupcakes symbolize the American holiday season in all its shameless, sugarcoated glory.Īngie Dudley (aka Bakerella, the genius who brought cake pops to fame) created the first snow globe cupcake. The English may have their figgy puddings, and the French their bûche de Noël. Decorated with a sugary winter landscape, this treat is topped with a transparent bubble that evokes its namesake.
In a nod to this beloved holiday decoration, we present the snow globe cupcake. They transport you to a sentimental place where the world is cold but everyone’s hearts are warm. Today, snow globes are simultaneously cliché and magically hypnotic. The snow globe-a seemingly miraculous object containing an entire blizzard within a small glass sphere-was invented by Erwin Perzy in Vienna at the beginning of the 20th century.
