LADYBUG CAKE



Ladybug Cake image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 round 9-inch cakes, cooled
2 (9-inch) cardboard cake rounds
1 recipe Chocolate ganache
1 recipe Vanilla Buttercream, colored red
10 black licorice rounds, coin size (for the spots)
2 white wafer candies (for the eyes)
2 candy coated chocolate pieces (for the eyes)
1 red licorice whip (for the mouth and antennae)

Steps:

  • Place the first cake on 1 of the cardboard rounds on a rack over a sheetpan. While the ganache is still warm, pour over the cake. Using a palette knife sparingly, gently swipe 1 or 2 times to spread the ganache evenly over the top and so that it runs down the sides and covers them. Let the cake sit until the ganache sets up, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • While the ganache is setting up begin making the wings. Cut the remaining cake in half, lengthwise. Cut the remaining cardboard round in half as well and place each cake half on one of the cardboard halves. Using the red buttercream and a palette knife, frost both halves completely. Try to make the frosting appear to be as smooth as possible. Place the black licorice rounds on the wings to make ladybug spots.
  • Once the ganache is set up, assemble the ladybug. Allow 2 inches in the front of the ganache cake for the ladybug's face. Place the 2 halves behind the 2-inch face with 2 corners touching right behind the head and at an angle to each other. The wings should be in position for the ladybug to fly away. Place the candy wafers on the ganache cake to create eyes. Using a small dab of leftover frosting, secure the candy coated chocolates to the wafers to make pupils. Cut the licorice whip to the desired length and lightly press into the ganache to create a mouth. Use the remainder of the licorice whip to create antennae. ***To cut this cake for serving, remove the wings and cut separately.

LADYBUG CUPCAKES



Ladybug Cupcakes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 32m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cool unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cups milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 ounces (2 sticks) room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Yellow and red food coloring
12 (1 1/2-inch) lengths black licorice whips, cut in thin tapered strips
1 tube black icing (the supermarket kind with a small writing tip)
1 tube white icing (the supermarket kind with a small writing tip)
12 red candy coated chocolate candies

Steps:

  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake papers. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift the sifted flour with the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Cream the butter in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until soft, then add the sugar and mix. Add the eggs, and vanilla and whip at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. With the mixer running at low speed, add a third of the flour mixture and mix. Then add half of the sour cream and mix. Add another third of the flour and mix. Add the remaining sour cream and mix, then the remaining flour. Give it one last mix to make sure everything is blended in. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling them 3/4 full. Bake until firm to the touch in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack and let cool. Meanwhile, make the frosting: Put the milk in a saucepan and whisk in the flour. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes, whisking often. Cover and let cool to room temperature. Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and very fluffy. Add the cooled thickened milk and mix until smooth. Add yellow and red food coloring to make a light orange frosting. When the cupcakes have cooled, make the ladybugs. Cut off the top rounded "cap" (like the cap of a mushroom or a muffin) of each cupcake. Spread the rounded tops of each cupcake with frosting. Cut the tops in half. Spread frosting on the cut face of the cup cake. Place two "wings" on top of each cupcake, spreading them apart slightly. Use two pieces of black licorice to make the antennae. Pipe a black section for the head and dot it with white to make eyes. Use black to make the dots on the wings. Place a tiny ladybug on the wings of the big ones. To make the tiny lady bug, pipe red candy coated chocolates with black frosting making a head section, a line down the back to define the wings and polka-dots on the wings
