Red Velvet Cupcakes

VIKEND je pravo vreme za spremanje kolaca. Porodicne rituale nasledjujemo i neke nove stvaramo u hodu. Sve mi nesto mirise da bi Red Velvet Cupcakes mogli uskoro da postanu nas novi mali porodicni ritual.

Iako se prvenstveno vezuje za Dan zaljubljenih i pravi u obliku srcastog kolaca, odlucila sam da vam Crvene Plisane Kolacice predstavim kao moj predlog za novu godinu.

Prvi put sam tek nedavno saznala za ovo cudeso koje to uopste nije - ovo je zapravo neki najobicniji moguci patispanj kome je dozica iz standardne zadate kolicine tecnosti zamenjena istom tolikom dozicom crvene kulinarske boje. Tako je nastao magicni crveni plisani kolac. Simple as that.

Uglavnom, ovo je slika koje me je ulovila. Rose Levy Beranbaum je nam je ovaj recept za dz dala uz preview njene knjige Rose's Heavenly Cakes na Amazonu. A onda sam tragala dalje.

Uvodna slika sa savrseno izmodelovanim kremom na ludo crvenim cupcakes u metalize modlicama je taman uredna, taman ostra, moderna i ziva, bez Valentine's romantike. Mislim da cu praviti crvene plisane kolacice koristeci chockylit-ino uputstvo. Tamo ide prvo spisak potrebnosti za kolacice, pa za ovaj beli puf gore, pa i za masu za ukrase. Imate sve kod nje na blogu.

Ako zivite u LA-u, imate privilegiju da napadnete ove kolacice koje prave i u Sprinkles Cupcakes, a evo kako ih pakuju i kako ih beleze. Ah...




Tufne na frostingu obelezavaju ukus. Ova crvena tufna, sa manjom bledo plavom je nas junak - Red Velvet. Evo je tabela tufni i nedeljni raspored pravljenja kolacica. (images via SpeedM).

Ako ste u Njujorku, pravac Magnolia Bakery, West Village, 401 Bleecker Street. Evo kako tamo prave Red Velvet Cupcakes:



To su samo cupcakes, posle toga ide icing. Ako hocete all in one, slatkica Pastry Chef Wendy iz Dish-a ce vam pokazati ceo proces odjednom:



Deluje easy as 1-2-3, samo treba nesto sastojaka, vremena i uzivanja u procesu.

Ah da, vegan verzija:

WEEKEND is the right time for making cakes. We inherit the family rituals and create some on the go. There is something indicating to me that the Red Velvet Cupcakes could soon become out new little family ritual.

Although it is mostly related to Valentines Day and is made as a heart-shaped cake, I decided to present you Red Velvet Cupcakes as my suggestion for the new year.

Recently I found out about this miracle which is not that at all – this is actually some most ordinary cake base dough in which the dosage of the given amount of liquid is substitued with that same dosage of red food color. This is how the magical red velvet cake was born. Simple as that.

Anyway, this is the photo that got to me. Rose Levy Beranbaum gave us this recipe for free, together with the preview of her Rose's Heavenly Cakes book at Amazon. And then I searched further.

The intro image with perfectly modeled cream on crazily red cupcakes in metallized little molds is just rightly neat, just rightly sharp, modern and vivid, without Valentine’s romantic. I think I will make red velvet cupcakes using chockvlit’s recipe. There you first have the list of ingredients, and then for this white puff on the top, and even for the decorations mix. You have it all on her blog.

If you live in LA, you have the privilege to attack these cupcakes also made in Sprinkles Cupcakes, and here is how they pack them and mark them. Ah… The dots on the frosting mark the flavor. This red dot, with a smaller pale blue one is our hero – Red Velvet. Here’s the dots chart and the weekly schedule for cupcakes making. (images via SpeedM).

If you’re in New York, hit Magnolia Bakery, West Village, 401 Bleecker Street. This is how they make Red Velvet Cupcakes there: see clip

These are only the cupcakes, after that comes the icing. If you want all in one, sweet Pastry Chef Wendy from Dish will show you the whole process at once: see clip
It looks as easy as 1-2-3, it only takes some ingredients, some time and enjoying in the process.

Oh yes, the vegan version:
