Hey guys it’s Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today I am gonna be doing something a little bit different.
I love sushi and I have been playing a lot of the video game Sushi Go-Round,
so I thought hmmm, let’s do that.
Today we’re gonna be making Sushi Cupcakes and we’re gonna be using a really
yummy Green Tea recipe.
Let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: 2-1/2 cups sifted flour, 3 tablespoons of Matcha
powder, 2 teaspoons almond extract, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt,
1-1/4 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, 1/2 a cup of vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and then to decorate
you’ll need some finely shaved coconut, and some vanilla frosting.
I’ve just put it in a plastic baggie for more control.
Now let’s put it all together!
The 1st thing that we’re gonna do is mix all of our dry ingredients together in this
bowl, whisk it together until it’s well combined.
The 2nd thing that we’re gonna do is, we’re gonna pour our oil into our milk.
Eeeeeeewp! Then we’re gonna mix it together.
Now we’re gonna pour this mixture into our dry ingredients, pour it all in there.
And then we’re gonna mix it together for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Once that’s all mixed together, now we’re onto our last step, we’re gonna add 2 eggs,
almond extract and some Matcha green tea powder.
Once your batters all mixed together, it smells so good! It smells like delicious
Green Tea Cupcake, I can’t explain how good this smells, you, you’ll have to try it.
Um, but we’ve got our little mini cupcake trays over here, I’ve never made mini
cupcakes before, this is my 1st time on Nerdy Nummies.
And we’ve lined them with all of these mini cupcake liners.
I chose the black liners because I thought it would look the most like seaweed.
I’m going to scoop 1-1/2 teaspoons into each cupcake tray.
Now that we’ve filled all of our cupcake trays you’re going to heat your oven
to 350 and bake for 9 minutes. But keep your eye on them, because you don’t want them to burn,
they’re very small, you want them to turn a golden green.
Mwaf-whaf-whaf-whaf-whaf-whaf-whaf-whaf! Instead of golden brown…. It’s a baking joke!
Just took the cupcakes out of the oven and you want to give them plenty of time to cool,
you do not want them to be warm when we are frosting them, but these little guys are
ready to go. Look how cute they are, dew-dew-da-dew!
I’m just gonna put them on top of this tray, I chose to decorate on this tray
because it is a Lazy Susan, it spins around.
So it will make it easy to frost and decorate all of our different little sushi cupcakes.
So, if some of your cupcakes are a little bit tall, I’m gonna use a sharp cutting knife
to cut them so that they’re a little bit more flat,
so that they actually look like sushi.
Just take off a little bit, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm!
Owmp! Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmm!
Now we’re gonna frost all of our cupcakes and dip them in the shredded coconut.
Ba-boom! Look! Looks like a little sushi roll!
I Dipped all of the cupcakes into shredded coconut, except for 4, I left 4 out so they
will look like this, little fish eggs.
These are candy sugar orange balls, what you’re gonna do is dip them into the candy
just like we did the coconut.
Now that our cupcakes are ready it's my favorite part, it is time to decorate!
Over here we have a smorgasbord of candies, we’ve got orange slices, some gummy
octopus, a bunch of Swedish Fish, some Haribo raspberry candies, some sour gummy ropes,
some Ju-jees, I’m just using the black ones, because when you roll these out with a
rolling pin, they look like seaweed, so they’re perfect!
Alright, now you can get creative and we’re gonna put them all together.
Ta-da! Here are the Sushi Cupcakes that we made today, they were so much fun to make!
I have never made mini cupcakes before on Nerdy Nummies, and, if you like Green Tea,
this recipe is for you!
I nommed on a few of these and they’re so good!
I’ll be posting lots of pictures of all of our Sushi creations on
Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram, so if you want to see pictures, go check
them out there. Also, if you guys make any of these little creations, please take
a photo and send it to me, I love to re-blog and re-post them, I just get a big kick
out of seeing your baking creations, it just kinda makes my day!
If you guys have any other ideas for any other Nerdy Nummies, please let me know,
leave me a comment down below and I will do my best to make it happen!
Also, let me know, mmmm, what your favorite sushi is, if you have 1!
Right now, I think mine is a California roll because, I live in California and
I’ve been eating a lot of them lately!
