Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann Reardon
And today yes I've heard all your requests we are making an inside out cake.
And because it is inside out we have crazy colours on the out side and on the inside
I want to know who your favourite character from the movie was.
I liked joy let me know who you liked in the comments below.
Now to make this to start with you will need to make one sponge cake and you are going
to need to bake it and cool it and then crumble it up.
You can do that by hand or if you have a food processor you can use that instead.
Now you need to make up another batch of the sponge cake recipe - I have a video showing
how to make this cake I'll put everything you need to know for this cake on thehowtocookthat.net
recipe post for this week and I'll put a link to that below.
Once you've made your batter grab four bowls and put 1 cup of those cake crumbs into each
one.
Then add half a cup of the cake batter and stir it through until you get a thick paste
that can hold it's own shape.
Next we want to colour each bowl by mixing in some food colouring.
I am going to make some blue for sadness, green for disgust, orange for joy - they were
kind of orangey yellow but orange looks better in the cake and red for anger.
Then take the remaining cake batter and fold through some pink and blue food colour to
make a purple.
Add a scoop of the purple to the bottom of three lined 20cm or 8" round cake tins.
Then put the coloured mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round piping tip.
And pipe a circle of blue into the pan.
Then in the next pan pipe a different sized circle of blue so when you slice the cake
the blue dots are in different places.
They are not just all lined up down as you go.
Now I've seen this effect done using cake pop balls before but if you do it that way
when you cut into the cake only some slices are going to have some of the centre of the
balls and other slices are going to have the edges of them and it is just not going to
look good and even.
Doing it this way means all the slices look exactly the same.
We are baking it in three tins instead of two because the circles sink to the bottom
so we are going to make three making three thinner layers of cakes with circles through
them.
Then add the rest of the purple cake batter over the top.
and bake it in the oven until they are cooked.
Then let them cool and level off the tops.
Put some purple frosting onto a cake board, add your first layer of cake then more frosting.
And continue to stack up your layers.
Use a spatula to smooth the frosting that is around the edge of the cake into those
gaps there.
Then put the remaining frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large flat piping tip.
Pipe a thin layer of frosting over the whole cake.
I am using a bought frosting today and no one in my family liked the taste of this compared
to homemade so I'd suggest you use the recipe that I'll put on the website for you.
Use your spatula to smooth it off or you can use the back of a large knife if you don't
have a spatula just look in your draw and use what you've got.
Now we are going to decorate the sides so don't worry about getting them perfect.
Smooth off the top and then place it onto your plate or cake platter.
Take some gum balls and put them in a plastic bag and then add some white luster dust, shake
the bag and rub it around until the gum balls all have a fine coat of the luster dust and
this gives them like a shimmery effect like the memories in the inside out movie.
Add a row of gum balls all the way around the base of your cake.
Then take some bubble gum tape and stretch it along one edge to make it curve around.
If it is breaking it may help to warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds particularly
if it is cold where you live.
Once you have a nice rounded piece add it on top of the gumballs around the cake.
If you can;t get bubble gum tape where you live you could use fondant for this instead.
Add another row of memories and then bubble gum tape and continue all the way to the top.
To make the console take some white fondant and roll it into a thick cylinder.
Put it up on one end and using the edges of your palms of your hand roll and put pressure
in the middle so it becomes fatter at the top and bottom and skinnier in the middle.
Then shape it to be more of an oval shape as you go.
Then use your fingers just to smooth down and flatten around the top edge of the console.
Run a knife around the edge just to make sure it is nice and smooth and even.
Then add two cake pop sticks down into the base.
And these will just make sure that it stands up on the cake and doesn't fall over.
Then poke that into the top of the cake towards the front edge of it.
Now for some control buttons Use a piping tip to make some big circles and the other
side of it to make smaller ones draw some lines with a knife and decorations and some
edible food colouring wherever you want them to be.
In the movie if you've seen it then you will already know the five main characters were
the emotions anger, fear, joy, disgust and sadness and they control Riley's the thoughts
and behaviours using this control panel.
Now it's a bit of a deep movie so a deep question for you... other than these emotions what
else should be involved in leading your thoughts and your behaviour?
So for example in the car this week someone side swiped our car and they didn't even stop
they just drove off.
Should you be sad and angry and chase them down and get road rage happening.
Or should we have other things involved there like wisdom and self-control, what about things
like peace, patience, kindness and gentleness and peace, goodness, your other values - where
do you get those from?
Let me know in the comments below what do you think other than your emotions what should
control your thoughts and your behaviour?
Now we can add our characters to the top of the cake.
Now we could make all of these out of fondant but you've been asking for an easy cake - adding
toys to the top is definitely the easiest way to make a cake.
Then of course when you take a slice of the cake you will reveal all the memories inside
too.
