How to Make Halloween Augapfel Cupcakes
Follow these simple steps to prepare this delicious Halloween Augapfel Cupcakes:
Step 1: Zubereitung der Muffins
Heute habe ich mal eine Fertigmischung für die Muffins verwendet. Und zwar die Red Velvet Cake Mischung von Tasty Me. Man braucht lediglich nur zwei weiter Zutaten um sie anzurühren. Die Eier werden zusammen mit der Butter und der Backmischung zu einem glatten verrührt. Am Anfang ist er noch etwas weich aber nach etwa 5 Minuten rühren wird der Teig fester.
Step 2: Muffins backen
Der fertige Teig kann nun in die gewünschte Form abgefüllt werden. In meinem Fall habe ich keine Kuchen sondern Muffins gebacken. Dabei darauf achten, dass die Backzeit angepasst werden muss. Nach dem Backen die Muffins auf einem Abkühlgitter auskühlen lassen. Der Teig ist zwar nicht wirklich hoch gegangen, aber trotzdem schön fluffig gebacken.
Step 3: Zubereitung des Toppings
Für das Topping habe ich hier von Tasty Me eine Fertigcreme verwendet, für die man nur etwas Milch oder Wasser benötigt. Ich habe die Creme nun mit etwas Milch circa 5 Minuten lang aufgeschlagen. Am Anfang staubt alles, daher am besten vorher grob von Hand verrühren. Nach dem Verrühren sollte die Creme eine Konsistenz wie Buttercreme haben.
Step 4: Grusel Augen modellieren
Um die Gruselaugen zu modellieren, benötigen wir weißen Fondant, der mit etwas CMC verknetet ist. Daraus formt ihr nun mehrere Kugeln als Augäpfel. Mit Hilfe eines Balltools wird dann eine Kuhle in den Augapfel geformt, wobei ihr die weiße Kugel in der Hand haltet, damit sie sich nicht so leicht verformt.
Step 5: Augen dekorieren und trocknen lassen
In die Kuhle wird dann aus farbigem Fondant (Iris) hineingedrückt und mit dem Finger glatt gestrichen, sodass der Fondant nicht absteht sondern glatt übergeht zur Kugel. Auch in den blauen, grünen oder braunen Fondant wird nun eine kleine Kugel für die Pupille eingedrückt und alles gut glatt gestrichen. Die Augen dann gute 24 Stunden trocknen lassen, bevor ihr mit den weiteren Dekorationen fortfahrt.
