hey everyone's James from fun foods and today I'm working with gamer green to
show you how to make this edible claw machine cake that actually works you can
work it just like a claw machine and you can eat it including the glass so thank
you so much for gamer green who sent me a little mini claw machine so I can use
the mechanism for it so it'll operate just like a real claw machine you can
find out more about gamer green and the link below in the description but for
right now let's keep watching and I'll show you exactly how to make this cake
now what we're gonna do is make our glass panels now of course we can't use
real glass because we need to eat this so we're gonna make hard candy that
looks just like glass that you can see through and to do that it's pretty
simple to do we need a very big pot and we need a whole lot of sugar even more
sugar than this so in this big pot I'm gonna put 10 cups of sugar in here I'm
also gonna put some light corn syrup and some water and then we're gonna heat
this over the stove until it comes to a boil and then we need to get it up to
305 degrees which is the hard crack stage and then we can pour it into a
mold now I'll show you this is just one mold this is just a side panel mold
that's how big this cakes gonna be and that in comparison to this see how much
bigger it is so it's going to be a massive cake for this mold I cut out
around where the joystick is gonna go and where the prize hole is going to be
now we're going to make our cake recipe and I'm gonna have to make a total of
four of these sheet cakes now this is a twelve by seventeen inch pan and our
recipe that I'm gonna do I'm gonna have to double just to get one of these
filled so keep that in mind if you're gonna make this first in a large bowl I
have one cup of softened butter that's just softened at room temperature I'm
going to add to that two cups of sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract
and we're just going to mix this up cream it all together when that's all
done just take this set this aside we'll come right back to it shortly next for
our dry ingredients I have a medium bowl here and I have three and a half cups of
flour in it I'm going to add to that two teaspoons of baking soda and about a
half a teaspoon of salt just whisk that up really good now back to our wet
ingredients and to that I'm going to add three large eggs and two cups of whole
milk mix that in really good when that's mixed in we're going to start to add our
dry ingredients slowly I'm going to do about half at a time
now here's the secret to make this a moist cake but still keep a dense I'm
adding pudding this is just one package of vanilla pudding now just take this
put this in the oven at 325 degrees for anywhere between 80 and 90 minutes when
your cakes have come out of the oven they've cooled down completely what we
need to do is start building our cakes on top of our platform now I just have
this it's a nice decorative little thing here this is gonna be my base this is
where all the stuffs gonna go on now I'm not gonna put the cakes right in the
middle I'm gonna put it back a bit and you'll see why as we go ahead and build
this but the first thing I want to do is just take some frosting you can use
canned frosting that where you can make your own I'm gonna put it out on the
bottom just to smear it a bit so it acts as the glue to hold the cake in place
I'm not gonna do a lot just just a bit and it doesn't have to go all over
there we go now I'm going to take one cake at a time I'm gonna flip it over
and like I said it's gonna be back towards the back a little bit and I have
it so the cake won't just come out right away and in between each layer I'm gonna
put more frosting this is again going to bond the two layers of cake together and
we're gonna have three layers all together just for the bottom
there we go
this is gonna be our base we are going to carve it out a little bit so it's not
gonna look exactly like this but it's a good start I've made another batch of
hard candy to act as glue to join the sides together we have to work quickly
apply and hold in place until it dries
after that dries surround the cake with it
add the back piece
cut out pieces of the cake for the prize slot and the controllers
cut an extra piece of the cake to surround the controllers
cover the cake parts with fondant
put more cake around the top of the claw machine and decorate it with fondant
now what we got to do is actually try our cake plate it see if it works if it
works just like the claw machine or not we're gonna see we're gonna test out
right now and of course we can't use just any money to operate this thing we
have to use chocolate tokens you know these little chocolate money here you go
mmm I guess I shouldn't eat all the
tokens or else I won't be able to play the game but here you go let's stick this
in here and get it going it is a little big so it won't fit in there completely
but luckily it came with these little tiny tokens I'll pop that in there now
here goes let's see what should I get
come on wonder if I can get two prizes
Oh, I don't think I got it
I'll missed it let me try doing it again let's uh move over a bit maybe
this time yeah I think I got it I think I got it come on come on make it come on
back let's get that thing in there move it over this way
nope wrong way and drop it yes winner I got it it is a little plush toy that came with
the claw machine so there's a lot of fun playing this I'm gonna keep playing this
because why not it's a cake that we can actually play like a claw machine you
gotta love that
well now it's time for the taste test I'm gonna cut me a piece
of this cake and try it out so I think I'll go from the side here
nothing like having a claw machine that you can actually eat I'm gonna dig into
this cake and see how it tastes mmm it's good well thanks everyone for
