Chapter 537: Mess Up
To get that signature circle effect, Baumkuchen needs to be evenly brushed with a custard and toasted until golden brown.
Experienced bakers repeat this action many times, and some can even make three-foot long Baumkuchen. The highest grade of Baumkuchen recorded in the Guinness Book of Records has 25 layers and weighs more than 100 pounds, or 45 kilograms!
Baumkuchen is a recipe for baking baumkuchens that can't be explained by pouring sugar or melted chocolate over the surface, Baumkuchen is made from the same ingredients as regular cakes, but with flour, eggs, rhombus powder, sugar and herbs, cinnamon, rum, lemon powder and cloves.
Although the failure rate is not high, the reason why this cake is expensive is precisely because it is extremely tedious to make.
Baumkuchen is made mainly by a special baking device, an iron rod that rests on the fire and rotates continuously. Underneath the iron rod was a burning flame. After the baker has prepared the baumkuchen base, he slowly pours it over an iron rod to make it a thin crust.
After this layer of crust is baked, the second layer of cake crust can be poured in. It takes a long time to make a baumkuchen cake layer after layer, which not only requires the pastry chef's perfect grasp of the heat, but also requires a very focused mental concentration.
And Sikong Yao took a closer look, and the person in front of him was only twenty-five or sixteen years old. It's rare to be able to cook such a confectionery at such a young age.
Sikong Yao's heart suddenly sprouted, and he sighed with some curiosity: "I wonder if Bai Xia can make such a baumkuchen?" ”
Among the peers Sikong Yao knew, Bai Xia had the strongest cooking skills, so she subconsciously compared Bai Xia with this person.
However, Sikong Yao believes that even if Bai Xia can't do it now, he will be fully capable of this kind of dessert in a few more years, after all, the young man in front of him is already twenty-five, and the baumkuchen cake he made. There are only 4 floors.
But even though it's only 4 floors that look so simple. But it is necessary to pour the full attention of a pastry chef into the whole body and mind, and it is absolutely impossible to measure its value simply by quantity.
Baumkuchen cakes are famous for their shape, but they are not judged to be delicious by the number of rings, and the more rings there are, the better they will be. So how can this Baumkuchen cause a vision of heaven and earth?
And it is also a vision of heaven and earth with such a high level. Just from this point of view. Not to be sure, this man is strong!
Sikong Yao couldn't help laughing, this world is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are so many different and amazing pastry chefs out there, and if you look at the field of consert, how many talented people will emerge if you look at the entire culinary world?
Sikong Yao couldn't help but cook in a world that was really colorful, and immediately set his eyes on the Baumkuchen cake.
It has the same shape as four doughnuts stacked together, but there is no arc at the corners, it looks more like a cylinder hollowed out in the center, the outer layer of the cake is poured with chocolate sauce, and the chocolate sauce that solidifies after cooling is like a layer of brown cream chocolate on the Baumkuchen cake, and Sikong Yao can also see that this layer of chocolate coat is definitely not simple.
It is made with a mixture of several chocolates such as white white chocolate and dark brown vanilla chocolate, and a little maple sauce topping, and the taste is absolutely top-notch.
Baumkuchen cakes that are truly handmade have irregular edges and uneven thickness. This is the best Baumkuchen cake that you can only taste at some cake shops. Few people have made Baumkuchen by hand, and the mass production of modern machines has replaced manual labor.
Only a few old-fashioned pastry chefs are still making their own baumkuchens, and their business is certainly very good.
Sikong Yao looked at the Baumkuchen cake, and suddenly there was a sense of tranquility and serenity lingering in her heart, as if the annual rings that had precipitated the historical years had also given her the essence.
It was as if the whole person had fallen into that circle of cycles, and his heart had become extremely peaceful.
The jury was also agitated, and the grade of this baumkuchen cake was also a bit unexpected to them, and it was indeed a very surprising thing that such a high-level work would appear in this exchange competition.
Such a high-level baumkuchen cake may not be able to be done by some professional pastry chefs who have been in the industry for more than ten years.
The commentator who had previously given a speech looked up at the young man who was cooking the baumkuchen, his gray hair seemed to have turned black at this moment, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, yes, the young people are really amazing now."
Then the young man bowed respectfully, and then presented the baumkuchen cake, and greeted, "Please give me some advice."
The jury cuts straight with a cake knife, and the chocolate coating of the baumkuchen conveys a mesmerizing touch, with a bouncy light and crunchy texture, soft and smooth, and a chilly comfort.
The chocolate sauce coating is a soft and delicate cake body, different from the texture of the chocolate icing, full of elasticity, the thought of being able to taste such a baumkuchen, the judge who is over half a hundred years old suddenly showed a smile on his face, it is really pleasant.
And then the judge held the knife suddenly, his eyes overflowed with a look of surprise, and the touch transmitted from the cake knife suddenly turned into a thick sponge cake, but I didn't expect this rookkukum cake to contain a lot of things!
The judges' faces became more and more cheerful, and they were very much looking forward to what the next layer of cake would be.
After sliding the sponge cake hard, the reviewer suddenly came into contact with a layer of whipping cream cake that was softer than chiffon cake, and the experienced reviewer also knew that the seemingly simple whipping cream cake actually had a cream coating sandwiched between it, which was very delicate!
The judge was so moved that he was almost speechless, and with a slight force of his fingers, he cut the last layer of the cake, which was a light chiffon cake, and the judge was able to imagine how delicious this Baumkuchen cake was.
With a combination of four textures and several chocolate-flavored sauces, and a creamy filling, how can you not be hungry?
After enjoying the five layers of touches again, the judge cut a piece of Baumkuchen for himself and couldn't wait to taste it.
The combination of the various tastes in a wonderful experience made the judge feel like he was in the jungle, covered by the depth of life, and his mood became particularly happy in the wonderful taste of Baumkuchen.
The other judges also quickly divided the piece of Baumkuchen, and they all couldn't wait to taste it, and none of them didn't show happy and satisfied expressions.
Sikong Yao was salivating, while the other pastry chefs knew that they were hopeless with the champion, so they didn't show a disgusting expression, they could only sigh that their skills were not as good as others, and silently admired this person's strength.
Sikong Yao was speechless, such a level should be enough to participate in the assessment of the dessert master, and he can also achieve a good ranking, which is really a desirable existence.
Sikong Yao decided in his heart that this person would definitely do a lot in the future, so he wanted to know the name of this person, and asked Tomisis next to him: "Who is he, he looks very powerful."
Tomisis introduced: "Don't you know? He is known as the person most likely to become the next pastry master, but he has already won many international awards at twenty-five, and there is even a room in the house dedicated to trophies, and the certificates are stacked higher than a person, what is it called? Lucius: Yes. ”
Sikong Yao looked at Lucius with some longing, the person who is most qualified to become the next dessert master, wouldn't it be that Luis's position will be banned soon? It's really a hero from ancient times, and the times are changing so fast.
Seeing that Sikong Yao was actually concerned about other things, Tomysis urged with some displeasure: "Don't look at it anymore, what are you going to do, why can't I understand it at all?"
Two pieces of dough that can be called Hulai, Tomisis really can't understand what Sikong Yao is going to do.
Sikong Yao grinned, looked at the puffed state of the noodles, and said with satisfaction: "Well, perfect, I can't lose next."
Sikong Yao raised his hand slightly, and he actually softened the two pieces of dough together!
Tomesis was so angry that he almost fainted, Sikong Yao was just too nonsense, originally that piece of whipped cream dough should be able to barely make something decent, but now there is no chance at all.
Mixed with the dough that had fermented three times, it was completely scrapped, and Sikong Yao had no chance to participate in this game.
Tomisis felt the world spinning in front of him, and he just begged the security guards not to think that Sikong Yao was here to make trouble.
If you make something that eats the dead, don't be angry with Randy's Dessert House, after all, Sikong Yao was recommended by Batisian.
Tomysis said helplessly: "Are you crazy, you can't do anything now."
Sikong Yao didn't think so, and laughed: "No, isn't this good?"
Tomysis sighed, "What, what the hell are you going to do with this baked thing, you're sure you won't eat the belly of a bad guy?" ”
Sikong Yao shook his head and said firmly: "Don't worry, it's absolutely fine, how can bread eat dead people?"
No matter how Tomisis looked at it, he didn't think that Sikong Yao was making bread, and said helplessly: "I can't see through you, but what are you doing?"
Sikong Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either, but it should be done this way, and when I make it, you'll know, haha." (To be continued......)
