K is for kicking myself for committing to this challenge! I’m not even halfway through with the alphabet. Whew! Learn more about the A-Z April Blogging Challenge here. All beginning with the letter K, I give you photos of my culinary career creations.
Kanzashi Flowers in Modeling Chocolate
These folded Kanzashi flowers, based on a ribbon technique, are made from modeling chocolate. Watch my video tutorial here.
Koi Fish Cake
This 3D koi fish covered in modeling chocolate scales with piped white chocolate design was served as the wedding cake in the Japanese Friendship Gardens in San Diego. This was the only cake I ever sold to couple where the groom was the sole participant in the cake designing/buying process. He had a very specific vision for the body positioning of this cake. Inside, he wanted red velvet flavor with pink cream cheese frosting so it would look like sashimi when it was cut. Instructions on how this cake was made and decorated are in my book, Cake Decorating with Modeling Chocolate.
Ketchup in Buttercream
The ketchup and mustard on this burger cake is made from buttercream frosting. See how it was made here: Burger Cake Tutorial.
Kneading Bread Dough
Kneading bread dough is a great way to exercise the upper body and work your frustrations out on stubborn gluten proteins. Here is my easy bread dough recipe plus video tutorial on how to make garlic herb rolls.
