The basic cakes have for now been kept aside. The speciality of a pinata cake is that it can be of any flavour and is made with super ease. Let’s begin to know just how a pinata cake is accomplished.
- Make a cake
The first thing to do is make a cake. And it is not the usual cake, it is the one with loads of gems, chocolate balls, Ferrero rocher chocolates and whatnot. Make it following the usual procedure of baking a cake.
- Buy ingredients and equipment
To make a pinata cake you have to do a one-time mini investment. You need a mould, some chocolate and food colouring if needed to make the upper cost.
- Make the crust
It is fairly easy and fun too. In the mould, add the chocolate. Remember it is not the ordinary chocolate you buy. You can buy it asking for chocolates for pinata cake.
- Freeze it
Pour the chocolate on the mould. It is a tomb or pyramid-like structure. The frozen chocolate mould is strong yet very thin. You can freeze it in your regular fridge. Don’t hurry it unless it’s completely hard and frozen.
- Plate the cake
On a serving plate, the real value with all the chocolates and toppings is to be decorated. The size has to be such that it fits inside the shape of the crust. Otherwise, the purpose won’t be solved.
- Cover the cake with moulded crust
After you are done decorating your cake, put over it, the crust. Remember to leave some space between the cake and the crust so that when one hammers it, it is sure to break.
- Hammer it
Special wooden hammers for pinata cakes have to be bought. With it once the candle is blown you begin beating the cake just like you used to begin cutting it. It may take a minute for you to get through it completely. Make sure the ingredients are not crushed.
- Serve
Make sure that you give a part of both chocolate crust and inner goodness to everyone. And while congratulating each other with a bite of cake you can go for either the crust or the cake.
Note:
Do not try to pull a stunt by adding candles on the crust because the chocolate will melt in no time and there would be nothing to hammer. You may place the candle in a side bowl or a scented candle jar.
Do not take the cake out from the fridge any second before the cake is to be cut because once it melts there’s nothing fun about it anymore.
Well, we hope you have a great time with your loved ones cutting or breaking this new pinata cake, you are going to love it. You can change the flavour of the cake by changing the chocolate in the mould and using complementary fillings and toppings.
