GIANT Avocado Toast... But It's CAKE | New Year Resolutions | How To Cake It

you're actually creating buttercream that looks like you just carved another mug, don't spoil the episode, it's 2020 so from now on I'll just eat

avocado

toast

and a healthy breakfast. That's your new

year

's resolution, that's my new

year

's, it's the same. like last year, but this year I'll keep it happy new year, it's 2020 and thanks for joining us guys, it's 2020. I should start my day with

avocado

toast

. I feel like I should wear a futuristic metal-like suit to make my Giant Avocado Toast Cake. I baked five pounds of my best vanilla dough in a rectangular pan. Whenever I make a

cake

that doesn't have much

cake

in it, I always look at my notes to correct myself.

I like it, that's what it says? 5 and not 25 this part of the new year is not a new I'm going to do the same thing I've always done I'm going to use a ruler and a serrated knife to level my cake and then I'm going to turn it over and remove the caramelization from the bottom, but I want to do this very sparingly because it's called avocado toast. I just want to remove that main kind of caramelized skin on the bottom of the cake, but leave a little bit of caramelized cake and like this. my toast will look toasty when you cough it up and it's like warm but not toasty.

I'm like that's not toast. You know, they promised us flying cars in 2020 and if you promise me toast, I want toast, I don't want bread. yeah, that's as disturbing as the flying car yeah, that's a big loss, I made myself a template, uh, out of a slice of bread, it's basically like I'm thinking of a big loaf of sourdough, you know, bread is something like oval. so it's like an oval with one side that is straighter because that would be the bottom of the thread. I'm going to place my template on my cake rectangle and use a small serrated knife to cut it out now. to just syrup my cake with the help of mr squeeze yeah ah we renegotiated his contract for one more year of how to tell but he started threatening that people all the other cake channels and yeah like you weren't the only one and he was difficult You know, now I want to turn my cake over and cover the side of the cake with clear gel.

I don't want to see a line of buttercream between the toast and its crust, so I'm using clear gel because we're not going to do that. I see it, but I need it to help the fondant adhere to the cake. I measured the perimeter of my

giant

toast. I should have done this before adding the piping gel, so now that I've cleaned up the fabric tape measure, I'm going to To roll out my tan fondant a little longer than that measurement, I want to texture the band in the center a little, like this that I'm using two small rolling pins to roll out fondant and pinching the fondant, you know, like a loaf of The bread on top often cuts when it's baked and then very carefully I'll use my very long measuring stick to cut one side of that band in a straight line.

Now I'm going to pick up my fondant band and I'm going to wrap it around the cake making sure the thicker textured part is on the top of my toast and then wrapping it and gluing it to the cake creating a seam at the bottom in the center of my toast I forgot to say I did something, so after I launch the band I'm going to use my turkey skinator. No, that's not what I did. Oh, I didn't do that. Why did I think I had too much champagne last week? See, that's it. Why am I at this resolution now?

I need to trim the excess fondant that is sticking out along the sides of the toast. If you are in a warm kitchen. If it's hot where you are. Congratulations, it's still winter, you might want to chill your cake. a moment before you cut the fondant flush because sometimes when the fondant is soft and you cut it like that, it drags and pulls it, we don't want, we want a clean cut, sometimes I wish I lived in another hemisphere because I wouldn't. it would be great if new year happened in summer no yes no there is no snow on new year why in the world would it snow on christmas but why do you need to snow on new year? summer is half of life half of life can't be new year new year has to be invented because then spring comes, which is like growing up, and summer, and then fall, which means you're old and then everything turns snowy, which means you die, that's the cycle of life, okay, that got really deep, who's enjoying their new summer year right now? leave a comment below, okay then let's change the subject.

I'm not finished with this toast, but we have very important things to do with our avocados. I technically could have colored some buttercream to look like guacamole or mashed avocado, but I really love having smashed avocado toast, so I became obsessed with how to achieve this look. The first thing I need to do is put two bowls of Italian meringue buttercream in a bowl. I'm going to start adding avocado food coloring. How perfect they are. I knew I was going to make avocado toast, of course I had an avocado as a model. I cut out my model and I'm basically going to sit here and add food coloring and mix until I feel like it's right.

I also had a little yellow left. buttercream and this is the perfect place to use it so I decided to add a little bit of leaf green and I even added a little bit like a dot of red because when you add the opposite color it helps tone down a color that I keep mixing until I'm happy and now I'm going to go ahead and try to mix that chartreuse for my avocado, so I added a little bit of yellow buttercream to my buttercream and then added a little bit of the green buttercream that I already created to create that chartreuse that it's not. not at all a bright yellow it's like avocados are really beautiful because it's a natural ombre if you look at it it goes from yellow green yellow to green it's beautiful that's how I decided to recreate an avocado I have egg shaped pens that I've used on the channel before , first I take my green buttercream, place it in an egg shaped pen and then I will smooth it along the sides and bottom of the mold with a spoon once the buttercream is cool enough to I can add another layer of buttercream without mixing everything.

I put my chartreuse avocado buttercream on it and do the same with a spoon. I smooth it all over the molds and on the bottom, so now in these half eggplants you can see the classification. of a green ring and a yellow ring and I'm going to put them back in the refrigerator once again. I need them to cool completely. I'm going to further texture the sides of the toast for the fondant portion of the toast with my turkey skinnator because I want to imagine that this slice of toast came out of a beautiful loaf of sourdough that was cut off the top.

Now I need to paint my bark, so I'm going to mix some ivory brown and taupe food coloring with Food Grade Alcohol Taupe has recently become one of my favorite food colorings. What color is the turtle? It's like a gray beige. It's actually not very pretty when I squeeze it. Sorry for my French, but it looks like bird poop and I find it when I add it to these. natural tones, it really helps tone it down, that's why you love it, I really like it, it's ivory's competitor, yeah, let's have a ufc battle over ivory and relax in the race, uh, everyone will see it, I think you use it like a full bed. guaranteed guaranteed just keep painting your toast until you're happy with the color different breads have different darknesses so paint it however you want the next thing i need to do is create that kind of cornmeal background you see on the bottom of loaves of bread, that's basically what they do when they bake the dough to keep it from sticking, so to create my cornmeal I'm using some shortbread cookies in a small food processor, I'm just going to grind them until they're like powder and now I'm just going to stick them to the bottom of my cake, the paint was still wet so they stuck to the bottom of the cake and I'm going to use a spatula to help press them into the fondant and also to scrape them off a little bit and now comes the important part in which I try to remove this buttercream but leave it as a kind of solid shell, so I called my new friend Bernadette.

Remember Bernadette, she is amazing and then I will use Bernadette to do it carefully. To heat them up I just want to heat the pan enough so that the inner layer of the buttercream melts and softens so I can remove the rest. I don't want to overheat it at all this is the part that made me most nervous, I was sure I could color the buttercream. I was sure I could put it in the pan, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it out without breaking it or melting it completely. I want to take a chef's knife. and cut buttercream like it was an avocado.

These are the moments where I think to myself, why did you try to do this? What if this doesn't work? But it worked. It was incredible. I'm very impressed. Yeah, some of the I mean, it's just buttercream, it's not going to rise, so after I cut them, some of the slices fell apart, but that's okay because avocado is like that too, like a ripe avocado is delicate , your eyes are bright, what are they talking about? Oh my god, I loved it. So much so that you know, I admitted that I confessed last year in 2019 that one of the problems with me and how to prepare it is that every time I make a cake and I'm sure I could finish it without a hitch, I feel guilty and then do something to make it more difficult for me, so instead of just mixing buttercream that looks like guacamole and putting it on, I think no, I have to do something else and this is what I decided to do, but I'm happy because I love it. and it's so perfect, when else would I use this technique?

I can't think of when I would do this and I think that's also why you all subscribe to how to take it. Did they try to quit? Yes, what was it? catastrophe I feel like I winked with my mouth instead of my eye let me try again and if you haven't subscribed I know that impressed you and by the way you will subscribe right now not the wink yeah no , No. the wink the wink lost some people she can't even wait uh i've decided to season my avocado toast with sea salt, ground black pepper and chili flakes and I'm doing this because none of those are really real, yeah, that would be really Disgusting, if I use the real thing it wouldn't be to scale either because they are too small for this toast so to create sea salt I'm using rock candy just rock candy of course I'm cutting the sticks and then more.

Cutting it can be difficult so you can also throw it in a ziploc bag and use a mallet and pound it and that will give you nice chunky crystals that look like sea salt. I have some black dragees and I put them in a magic bullet and I pressed them to break them, I crushed the dragees, you could see too much white, so what I decided was to create just a little black paint with black food coloring and food grade alcohol, and I'm going to carefully coat my sprinkles with this paint and then lay them out on a paper towel to dry and I've decided to make chili flakes with dried cranberries.

The unfortunate part is that you need to make the seeds with gum paste, so you have to make the seeds by hand first. show me my avocado toast i need to know if you like my t-shirt look at it can you see yourself in it?
