Fondant cake

-

First I would like to thank my best friend Anusua chatterjee (anu) for teaching me the basic lessons of fondant decorations.You can find beautiful and amazing cakes on her fb page @chatterjee.cakes.

This is a two tiered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting covered with purple and pink fondant.The fondant I used here is a store bought one that is available for purchase at Baking stores, large grocery shops. You can also order it online from any Ecommerce websites or cake decorating suppliers.I had posted chocolate cake recipe which you can view in this link http://safnascookbook.blogspot.in/2015/02/chocolate-truffle-cake.html

 Next step is to cover this chocolate cake with purple fondant.I had used purple color sugar paste or you can mix purple gel color in white sugar paste and knead it into your fondant.
Knead the sugar paste until soft.Dust the fondant mat with cornstarch often to prevent sticking as you are kneading and rolling.Use fondant rolling pin to roll out evenly at the perfect thickness.
Cut out the excess fondant with cutter and smooth out using your hands or smoother.Pull the fondant out from the cake when we smooth it down.Place the second cake on top of this and repeat the steps.
For decorations use tylose powder with sugar paste to dry faster.There are many fondant tools such as crimpers, imprint mats, sculpting tools that makes our work easier.

You may wonder what combination is this, but believe me it is fantastic. The items in the picture are Bhatura, Chicken masala and chicken dry fry. I used to note Chole Bhature from the Menu of north Indian restaurants. You might have also noticed the same. It is a heavy breakfast served in Punjab, Delhi and nowadays in most of the northern states. Chole Bhature is generally accompanied with curd and is served with onions, carrot / lemon pickle. I had tried  chole Bhature from restaurants several times and was searching for a perfectly light, fluffy bhatura recipe.Much to my surprise,one day I had it from one of our very close family friend Mrs. Lathika Dunsten's home. She is really a wonderful cook. We love to eat whatever she cooks in Trivandrum style, especially the beef roast. I got that perfect recipe of bhatura from her and tried. It is almost close to what i have tasted from her home.As you all know, I am more biased towards non vegetrarian dishes and hence I tried Bhatura
