Tuesday Humour Cake - Rotten Apple.
It is the apple picking season and rather pick them from the tree than from the wet and muddy ground or else - this may happen! This is not the apple to give your teacher nor does this apple need a doctor any more... or how did the old saying go? Also it might be a good idea to take your horses to pastures new, far from the orchard with rotten apples.
In real life, this apple cake was sweet and delicious to enjoy. The worms were sour but still they disappeared first (maybe they slithered away when nobody was there?).
I baked the body of the apple with a basic Swiss roll recipe and cut it into circles when cooled down. Then I piled the circles and put some apple jam in-between and with my hands pressed it all around to be more ball-shaped.
The first layer of icing was a mixture of melted butter and white chocolate with some icing sugar. With that mix is it easy to cover any bumps and holes on the surface too. Then I made some red and yellow icing to colour the apple and piped a some melted chocolate here and there. The stem is a cinnamon stick and the green leave is made of green fondant icing. The worms are Jelly Squirms by Natural Confectionary.
This cake would work well for Halloween, too. Or how about a whole orchard with lots of rotten apples? Trying to visualise it just now!
