Hey guys, it's Ro welcome to another nerdy nummies today, we have a very special guest it's Justine. Hi. I'm so excited you're here!
I had to invite a resident expert when I heard what you were doing I was like basically
Inviting myself over and like checking your calendar. I'm like okay. She's filming today. I'll be there.
I'll have all of my things I brought my own
I brought my Nintendo switch.
Okay so show me all your gadgets because I got a lot of requests from you guys to make something in honor of Super Mario
Odyssey so that is exactly what we're gonna be doing today, so what did you bring over here?
So I brought this romário Odyssey themed amiibo. We have Bowser in his beautiful little wedding attire very handsome
We've got peach in her beautiful wedding dress.
Beautiful we've got Mario who's you know always trying to get peach? He's looking very suave
He's got his little top hat on. Yeah, but like who's marrying peach is the question no spoilers.
So they're gonna watch us bake, and what are we making today?
Okay, so today. We're gonna be making Mario's hat because it's super iconic in this new game.
Yeah, his name is Cappy and basically you can throw the hat, and you can become almost anything in the game
So we cuz Mario's hat is such a big part of the new game. We are gonna be making a cake to look like
Mario's hat oh
Are you maybe yes, okay? Oh you're a spell. I'm already so my gosh
Let's get started the recipe is very fitting for today today. We are reading a red velvet recipe.
Alright, so the things you'll need will be 1 cup of sugar 2 eggs 1 cup of flour 1/2 a cup of sour cream and
1/4 cup of milk 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of red gel coloring 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
quarter teaspoon of baking soda quarter teaspoon of salt 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
And a quarter cup of butter at room temperature, and now let's put it all together. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
First step to making our red velvet cake is mixing together our dry
ingredients in a large bowl mix in your flour cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda well ficient
We are super efficient. Uh-oh that's not so good
Well you got my favorite Bowl.
Until well combined mix it up mix it up now
We're gonna mix together our milk and sour cream we want our dairies together, so this is it a smaller Bowl alright
Justine you scooped in the sour cream, okay?
I don't think I told you this but my mom has really been getting into Spanish soap operas
Yeah, what does that have to do the sour cream?
Probably nothing you know sometimes when we hang out
I just get thoughts our next step is we're gonna cream together the butter and the sugar and it only works with a spatula
Bhairo so you cannot scoop with any other spatula yes because me works if you have a nerdy nummies spatula
Sorry
I blew a link down below to where you can find one then using an electric mixer mix together for about two to three
Minutes on a medium speed you want your make sure to get light and fluffy y'all just go under here
Oh, no me. I should come back. Yeah, I think
So after a few minutes of mixing this is what it should look like
They are nice and fluffy now looks like snow. It does kind of look like snow
That's your good reference next add your eggs one at a time mixing in between each addition
Then we're gonna pour in
Extract here we go
Hello friend, so we've got our wet ingredients from butter mixture. Yeah, and our dry ingredients that's right now
We're going to combine them. Oh wow now
What do we do well let me tell you girl add a third of the dry mix it up half the wet mix it up
Second third of the dry mix it up
Second half of the wet mix it up feels on my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard like I get it
but like at the same time a
Bunch of boys in their yard and the last of the dry and mixed in it
So this is looking really chocolaty like I actually forgot. We're making your red velvet cake yeah
We've got to make this cake red so it's almost ready
We've just gotta add a little bit of red color, so I'm gonna scoop it in
Well now it's red velvet. Oh my gosh yeah, this is cool
Our red velvet cake batter is complete and now we have to put it into the pan
That's right
And we've got two pans to make on Mario hat cake in front of Justine this one is an eight inch
Round cake and we've sprayed it
We've greased it and put a piece of parchment paper at the bottom
So it's really easy to pop out and then in front of me
This is the second pan that we're gonna be using this one is from my baking line
But it's basically like half a ball cake. This is the tricky part
We've got a eyeballing okay two-thirds of the batter
Go in here
one-third of the batter
Over there. I think it's like
We'd be like
There and then we'll bring this pan over teamwork teamwork this you're doing a great job
Look at this player one player to me all cakes
We got our cake batter in the pans and now they're ready to bake mm-hmm
Yeah, your oven to 350 degrees and we're gonna bake this fear pan for 55 minutes in this pan
This one's only for 25
Yeah, 25 minutes our cakes have baked and they are all cooled off now
So now what do we do now this is it tada?
You just stack your cake like so and just even put this on your head
And there it doesn't it look like it looks like a little Mario hack. It's perfect after they've baked. We've got to shape it and
Assemble it to shape it. I've cut the shape into some cake board
I'll be making a template and put a link down below
So if you want to download it and use it to trace and cut out the same shape you can so you're gonna place it
On top of the cake just cut around the side my goodness
Okay, you got this like this goes straight up and down go, dupa, dupa, dupa. This is like racing
Oh jeez now a star won't stay up. Okay. I caught it you got it
Yeah, okay, then I'm gonna give this to you
Okay, place it on top of a turntable now the turntable is totally optional
It just makes icing a little easier pipe a little outline, okay
And then fill it in and I'll use a spatula to smooth it over then place the second cake on top Justine
Will you do the honors place it towards the okay back to the cake all the way to the back?
Yeah, all the way the back. I'm about to drop it like it's hot okay drop it drop it drop it well
It's starting to finally look like a hat, so now we're gonna add just a thin layer pump coat amazing yeah
Yeah, just pipe a thin layer all the way around the cake and remember it doesn't need to look perfect
Okay
Because we are gonna cover the cake with
London pop the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill and while it's chilling. We're gonna make some fondant decoration
Specifically the M on Mario's hat cuz we need it to be very icon
I need to look like this hat over here
I made the M logo into a template in Photoshop
And I'll put a link down below if you want to download that you want to cut out the M
I did this by using an exacto knife, so just be really careful first roll out our white fondant
In front of us we have a piece of wax paper that I've taped down, so it won't stick to the surface all right
I'm gonna give you a little exacto knife - be careful. Don't get your fingers and just cut around
The oval now let's cut out our M
And we want to do this using the red - fondant place the template on the top and again using a small
exacto knife cut out the M
Looking good. All right. I'm gonna peel this up. Be really careful. Do they do they do it
Yes, so we've got our two pieces and now we're gonna pick up the end and put it on top of the white is
Yes
Now we're gonna. Let it sit for about ten minutes to harden while we put some fondant over our cake oh boy
We took our cake out of the fridge, and it is a nice and chilled mm-hmm. We got fondant right here
Yeah, and it's on top of this really fancy. Have a very large fondant mat to roll it out, so it won't stick
That is a pinata stick
Rolling it. I mean this is insane. You ready. Yeah, okay, you grab and I'll grab okay. Okay? Oh?
Oh, oh, sorry wait which way are we going which way so handle me off. Okay go and then back back
Yeah, yeah front and then back
Me too this has been a workout. Are you ready for this?
Yes, now. Let's put it on top of the cake. This is gonna be a little tricky. I'm using the rolling pin
I'm gonna kind of like roll gently roll the fondant onto the rolling pin
And then Justine can you bring the cake towards me and I'm gonna lift it ready one two three here
We go up up up, and they can't kind of catch it on that side cuz I can't really see over there
What a good idea
There we go there we go
Yeah, just let it fall once you place it over the cake. We're just gonna gently pull
like this and press
Against the cake and look I'm gonna like might do this like do it double like Oh poop
Look at that whoa
Is that Mario happy made then Justine you want to gently press in the back just use your hand and just press it
against the cake trust first press press press Justine
I'm gonna let you do this, but just at the bottom of the cake at the base
just cut
Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo all the way around for sure, okay, okay?
I'm too nervous because I don't want to make you nervous time, and then you can peel it off
So you do the first peel, and we'll see what we're working with
Wow, it looks so good our final
Step is adding on the Mario logo to the Hat mm-hmm then just team just put a little bit of royal icing
Right in the middle where we want to add it and it's gonna act as an adhesive
Yeah, I'm gonna put it on this one Tim you should put on this science
Yeah, and then we place it in the center
tada
