母親節──Opera和芒果蛋糕

這星期母親節,先祝福所有媽媽快樂。
第一次使用阿妃烘焙的咖啡豆...在蛋糕裡!

一般咖啡豆都烘到極深的黑色,
所以稱為──“炭燒咖啡”,
後來聽阿妃這位咖啡專家講解才知道,
那是為了去除雜豆不統一味道的一種手法,
一律烘到黑焦。
就像不夠好的食材盡用調味料去淹蓋一樣的道理。
然而好的咖啡豆淺淺烘焙即可,
〈專業名詞好像是第幾爆第幾爆之類的......?
──老師有講,你〈我啦!〉有沒有在聽...........〉
這顏色照片應該看不出來的──淺咖啡色。
味道就是 一個字......香!
沒有磨豆機,
使用Vitamix分次“打豆”後的結果。
在煮的時候香氣瀰室,
但是和之前一般煮咖啡的味道有些區別,
就是──不野的香氣......
所謂不野是之前煮的濃;嗆;味道居首,
而這款咖啡豆煮出的則是清芬;淡雅的香氣。
先聞了一下:香氣中有微妙的木質與花香;
後喝了一口:
水果酸香在入喉隨即消失;回甘的微甜在入喉後生成......。
難怪阿妃老師有說過:
蛋糕裡的奶油餡,用即溶咖啡就很好用了。
又尤其在濃重巧克力的Opera蛋糕上的話!

Opera蛋糕上的擺飾:
綠色玫瑰:開心果慕斯〈Pistachios mousse〉。
紅色金字塔:覆盆子果凍〈Raspberry jelly〉。
圓球巧克力:檸檬果醬蛋糕〈Lemon jam cake pop〉。
給儒明岳母蛋糕上的字裝在袋子裡。
送蛋糕也順便第一次到他家......
一直沒緣碰面的大嫂終於見到面了,
感謝他們一晚的盛情招待。
回家趕忙這另外一個Opera的組合。
各自2層的Ganache與Coffee cream stuffing,
中間以杏仁蛋糕作為介質,
蛋糕上塗佈滿滿咖啡+糖+咖啡酒的溶液......

因為這是我家附近的人〈儒明介紹〉所訂的,
應該也是即時要吃的,
所以就把字體直接擺上了。
這是第四回TAS美麗媽媽的生日聚會,
這次作了以剛出來的愛文芒果為主的蛋糕。
很多很多年前替八人小組的螞蟻做過一次生日餐點,
以義大利餐為主,飯後甜點就是這個蛋糕....
〈那次最經典的是──當菜上桌後,大家圍坐而食
我累到癱躺在地板上真的睡著了..............〉
當然這蛋糕和當時的是不同的組合啦!
第一次結合了熱烤Cheese蛋糕+果凍+Mousse的組合。
今日聚會點在忠孝復興捷運站的《漁火燒烤日式料理》,
老闆雄哥海派的請這些美麗媽媽喝清酒,
沒想到我也分了一杯推不掉的酒......
喝了一口..還真好喝.....耶!
問了一下後座力....雄哥說:越順的酒後座力越強......!
害我不敢喝完酒一杯!
和學姊一起搭捷運她說:
你還真不能喝呀!才幾口就這樣臉紅到脖子了.....

今日主角是中間白衣服的媽媽,
實在不相信.....半百年齡一點也沒在她身上留下痕跡!!!
9吋蛋糕切了24塊....................
雄哥借了我一把鋒利的....生魚片刀!!!
不用燒火或是過熱水就可切出美麗蛋糕!
真是太PRO了吧!用牛刀殺雞...哈哈!

  1. The cookie letters, M and H were broken, so it was pretty difficult to make them stand on the top of the cake nicely, but it was still very interesting to set them up. Yes, we tried to make them stand up but not lay down there.

  2. 好有概念喔!站起來的立體效果勢必較優的辦法...第二個再次抱歉於餅乾的破裂,....這是酥鬆配方,也是運送的疏失,我只注意蛋糕有無變形,沒查看餅乾!Sorry!

  3. It's okay. When you get the cookie letters into your belly, nothing is different whether they are broken or not. Hahaha! No, the cake was not too sweet at all, but I also think it's a good idea to have some mashed salty crackers as the bottom layer. I have to admit that I don't know what the cheese cake's bottom layer is. I have not eaten cheese cake for long.

  4. Cheese cake的底餅是奶油;捏碎的全麥餅乾;做成的。我喜歡再加點花生粉....如果有要點鹹的味道就加點Cheese粉應該就可以了....!

  5. I am sure you like peanuts. Last time when you were at my home, you enjoyed eating peanuts. LOL. Many people like peanut butter as well. As for me, I disliked it when I was young, but now I can accept it. By the way, my cousin's one son and one daughter are members of the Mormon Church. They don't eat coffee and tea. The opera cake was found to have coffee, but my cousin told them that that is chocolate. They still ate it. This is just an episode of the Mother Day's cake you made.

  6. 哇!這倒是我所不知的事情──摩門教不吃咖啡和茶....我今天也才得知基督徒不吃豬血;鴨血等等有關血的食物..!哈哈...所以我才說感謝妳們當晚的盛情招待呀!我只記得一直說不用不用...最後竟有一盤不知不覺堆到很高很滿的花生殼...也被你看出我喜歡花生啦!哈哈!所以這是對小孩兄妹嗎?這樣沒有關係嗎?

  7. My cousin's kids are no more kids at all. They are at their 40's, the adults. They thought it was a chocolate cake though the daughter doubted that. It's ok if they don't know it is coffee or tea when they eat it. Sometimes rules are there for being broken. LOL. I know Christian don't eat blood. Actually when you eat steak, are you sure you do not eat blood?

  8. 那就好了!不知者無罪嘛!豬血糕看不出有血,晚餐時發現學姐連這也不吃喔!關於牛排嗎?就不知道了....但的確是個好問題!
