Can I make a cake bleed?๐ฉธ
๐ THE BLEEDING CAKE EXPERIMENT: PART 1 โ THE BLOOD! ๐งช๐
So, a fellow baker was looking for someone brave enough to attempt a bleeding heart cake for her customer. Apparently, all she heard was crickets. ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ Well, y'all know meโฆ sometimes all it takes is a challenge and a little curiosity! ๐ So I said, LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT!
Welcome to my little experiment, where we're bringing chemistry into home ec and seeing just where it takes us! ๐คฃ
First up: THE BLOOD! ๐ฉธ
I made mine using fresh raspberry and strawberry juice. I didn't want corn syrup or anything else diluting that fresh berry flavor, and honestly? I LOVE the color! โค๏ธ
Next step? Into the freezer it goes! And yesโฆ that IS my deviled egg tray. Don't judge my laboratory equipment! ๐๐ฅ๐งช
Since I'm experimenting on a mini cake first, and I've never attempted this technique before, I figured smaller blood pockets would be the way to go. The tray seems to be working perfectly so farโฆ but let's not get ahead of ourselves! ๐
They need to freeze for 24 hours, so we're playing the waiting game! Will this work? Will we have a beautiful, dramatic bleed? Or will this turn into one of those well, now we know what NOT to do moments? ๐
Stay tuned for Part 2! The mini cake is waiting, and this little baker is about to find out if her experiment is a sweet success or a delicious disaster!
