If you're looking for something more simple, Just Heavenly are also selling the cake only without any fondant decoration. Moist chocolate cake or traditional sugee fruit, wrapped in a beautiful gold box topped with a faux silk gold flower would surely put a smile on your recipient's face.
Other than the centrepieces, A Slice of Heaven have also introduced their Angry Birds cupcakes, priced at RM120 inclusive of the slingshot and presentation tray. Cute, colorful and very cool. If you love the game, you will love this.
Cute characters from Plant Zombies also make an appearance on Just Heavenly's cupcakes. They can be bought separately at RM18 each.
These "Hei" or Chinese for Double Happiness cupcakes would make a wonderful wedding favour... sold at RM8.90 each and comes in two colors, yellow and red.
I was delighted to receive an invitation to Just Heavenly's headquarters in Bangsar for a masterclass in baking on top of viewing the Raya centrepieces and cupcakes. Nigel Skelchy, the affable brand and corporate communications director was our host for the afternoon. Nigel shared two recipes with us, the spiced date fruit cake and torrone. Only a master baker like Nigel can make baking look so easy and fun. And of course at the end of it all, we got to eat lots of yummy cakes! Thanks Nigel for a fun-filled afternoon.

The making of torrone
Recipe for Torrone by Nigel Skechy of Just Heavenly
470g sugar
100g glucose
330g clear mild honey
120g egg white
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp salt
25g icing sugar
200g roasted whole almonds
200g dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, currants)
2 tbsp orange flower water
1 tbsp lemon zest
For variation:
- You can use any kind of nut.
- Omit the orange flower water and use rose water instead.
- Or omit the orange flower water and use 1 tsp plain vanilla
1. Put honey, glucose, and granulated sugar in a stainless steel heavy based pan and place over a medium heat to boil.
2. Using a sugar thermometer, watch temperature go up to 155°C.
3. While sugars are heating uo, prepare the egg whites with cream of tartar in a bowl of a stand mixer.
4. When temperature reaches 155°C, turn off heat and start whisking the egg whites on medium until soft peaks. Add in the icing sugar at this point.
5. By this time the temperature of the sugar will have reduced to 150°C. You can pour the hot sugar syrup slowly into the egg whites.
6. Pour it in a drizzle. It should look like you're pouring a little honey into a teacup.
7. Continue whisking for 5 minutes with a whisk, Add the flavourings (zest, vanilla etc). Switch to a paddle mixer and continue beating for a further 5 minutes.
8. While waiting for it to cool down sufficiently, prepare a 9"x9" square tin lined with cling film and lightly brushed with vegetable oil. If you have rice paper, put it on the bottom and oil the sides only.
9. Turn the mixer down to slow and fold in the roasted nuts and dried fruit for about a minute. Pour the torrone/nougat into the prepared tin, press down with another layer of rice paper or lightly greased cling film and refridgerate. Chill for at least 4 hours.

ReplyDeleteis the wau on the cake edible? it looks gorgeously designed! :D
ReplyDeletewondering if the fondant on top of cupcakes as good as Delectable which is able to dry and keep for few years...maybe will buy for collection :p
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Baby Sumo :-) Hope you don't mind if I answer some of the enquiries here ;-)
ReplyDeleteSean, to answer your question, most of it is edible. Only the coloured crystals should be removed. You can get these sugar jewels overseas but they haven't made their way here yet.
Fui, we use the same brand ;-) It's a fondant which is imported ;-)
