GIANT Twix Made Of Cake! | Shortbread, Caramel, Chocolate Layers | How To Cake It

This week I

made

one of my favorite Twix

chocolate

bars. I

made

a Twix. You want to see the image that we are making for the image. So a Twix bar has three main elements, it has a

caramel

cookie and a

chocolate

cookie. My Twix

cake

s are going to have a fourth element, you guessed it,

cake

, that's how to kick it, the

shortbread

crust is actually very simple, it only has four ingredients, so you cream the butter and sugar, then stir in the sultans of the flour and you add that mixture to the butter and Sugar now that my cookie dough is ready, I'm going to press it into a 9 by 13 rectangular pan.

Make sure your pen is lined with parchment and also lining in addition to the parchment. I like to use a small one, I have about four inches. square pad to really press the crumbs down and compress them before baking my cookie. I want to bookmark it because I'm going to have to cut this sweet bread while it's still warm into strips that are the size of my

giant

Twix I. I'm scoring the cake with a knife and then I'm just using a bench scraper to cut the cake, and also before baking it use a fork to prick the strips, this just helps release the air because the cake is very dense and we don't want it to expand or puff up, so when I watch this video there's three strips of cookie and then there's kind of a lovely edge that I ended up consuming.

I baked my cookie at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then let it cool for about 10-15 minutes, I still want it to be warm but I don't want it to be so hot that I burn myself, the tricky part is getting it out of the pan in one piece. I had a cake. board cut to the size of my mold, I placed it inside on top of the cookie and then I put a non-slip mat and then I put another smaller cake pan and then I turned it over and this way when I turned the cookie over it was on a flat board I removed the parchment and then I had to turn it over so I could see all the marks I made and I very carefully used a chef's knife to cut those marks so that I had three cookie strips.

I can't tell you how good this is, we would win if we had scratch and sniff TV or scratch and sniff YouTube. You imagine? Oh yes, it would be amazing to melt the candy. I placed them all in a large pot and then added some. cream I need the candies to melt and still be solid enough to put back on a kingpin, so I don't want to add as much cream, but if you don't add enough, they will tend to bone at the bottom and slowly start see the cream turn the color of

caramel

you just draw it stir it and finally believe it or not it all liquefies and once that happens you can pour it into a prepared pen you want the pan to be the same .

Then you baked the cake and baked the

shortbread

cookies and just covered the pan tightly with parchment paper. I even greased the parchment paper because this candy is super sticky. I'm going to let it reach all the temperatures and once it's cold. Put it in the refrigerator and chill it. You can do it these days before the twigs. What scares me is that when I take it out of the pan it will spread. Now I will take the time to prepare my vanilla cake. As always, I took my cake out of the mold, leveled it, removed the caramelization from the bottom and now I'm going to cut it into strips of the same size that I cut my cookie.

Now I have three strips of cake and I don't know how. I want to tell you this, but Mr. Squeeze, it won't be necessary. in this video, seriously, I'm really afraid of the simple syrup in these cakes and getting moisture on the sides because then when I try to cover this with chocolate, the chocolate won. It doesn't stick, so I'm just trying to avoid all the problems I'm foreshadowing in my head. Twix

twix

es Twix Twitter its twigs are completely wrapped in chocolate, so even the bottom has a thin layer of chocolate. I'm going to Melt some candy melts, mainly melting chocolate, but I mixed a little bit of dark chocolate or a line of this chocolate on my silicone map and spread it evenly with a small offset spatula before the chocolate hardens.

It is very important that you pick it up carefully. the cookie cake strip and place it on the chocolate. Now I'm going to put it in the refrigerator for about two minutes to let it set, but I don't want it to harden too much because before it gets too hard I want to cut it. I removed the excess chocolate hanging under the cookie, so I repeat this step with my other two cookie cakes. Now they all have chocolate on the bottom. What is the plural of Twix? I don't think they're

twix

es, I think they're just Twix, no, no.

I don't think, I don't think this is a Twix and this is a twin. Oh, they just want to prove themselves right guys, comment below. Do you think it's Twix, no matter how singular or plural, or do you think it's hummus? right, that's so ridiculous, it's time to place these cake strips on my shortbread cookie strips. I kept trying to think of how I would glue them together. I could have used chocolate which would have worked fine, except when I cut my Twix at the end. I don't want to see a brown line in the middle, you know what I mean, when you take a bite of Twitter you just see chocolate covered caramel cookies and that's what I want to see, so I decided to apply some clear gel for pipes. the top, so just rub it on and then place a strip of cake on top of the cookie.

It's very important that you scrub it because every time I brushed it it just took out all the crumbles of the crumbly shortbread cookie. Do this for all three. Yes, I know there are two twixes. but I need insurance, so I made three. Leave a comment below. We want three or more Twix now that I placed my cake strips on top of my shortbread strips. I realized that it is too high. I'm going to level again. these cakes while they are on top of the cookie and so I will have a level surface, what I am most excited about is my vanilla cake and the shortbread cookie, we are almost exactly the same color, so now I am really happy because I know that when this is done and cut it out it will look like a Twix even though there are cookies and cake inside, get it or mom you look very confused or mom is doing this interview from her couch, it's extreme, I'm going to show them he's extremely comfortable right now show them how comfortable are you oh no no I refuse to let you lie down well because we don't want to snore in this video sit down that's more like thanks candy Booga I don't want to talk about this because this is what he's talking about I know but it was then when it got stressful, don't worry guys, it all worked out in the end so I took out the candy.

I'll make sure to flip a Silpat because like I said, this stuff is very sticky so I have to be very careful. I removed all the parchment and then turned it onto another slow path. I can already see that it is extending as if the whole rectangle wants to extend. I'm going to try to ignore that I'm using a ruler to cut strips of the same size, so I cut my cookies and my cake the same size. Now I have to cut the candy. I managed to cut three strips but just as I thought as soon as I cut them they are spreading so now they are getting bigger than the size I want and this makes me realize that I will have to build each Twix separately and cover it one at once.

I was hoping to be able to do this as an assembly. line them all up, put them on a rack, cover them, but because of the candy situation I'm going to have to encase this candy in my

giant

chocolate bars as quickly as I can, what I want to do is have my cake lined up on a rack so that that way I can pour the chocolate on top and all the excess will drip underneath onto a cookie sheet and now it's time, so the most important thing I can say is to get everything ready because we have to be quick, you know, Twix.

At the top it looks a little wavy, like it's not completely flat but rather torn, so my idea was the extra caramel I had cut out. I took it out and twisted it to make thin strips and then put those strips on top. of the Twix caramel thinking that when I covered it we would see that texture, the problem is that I did all that work for nothing because the caramel kept running, so everything mixed with itself and there was no texture left. fun and now I'm going to carefully take my bowl of chocolate and pour it completely from one end to the other and I want to move my bowl back and forth to make sure that I'm covering the sides that I'm actually getting. worried because as I'm doing this I can see that the caramel on the top of the cake is kind of running down the sides as I'm icing it, it's causing me a lot of stress but the truth is that the Twix bars are kind of rounded so even though I don't there is candy on the side on a real Twix bar, that candy was round on the bar and made it look more realistic so I'm trying to focus on that instead of my stress level once it's covered I want to put it on the refrigerator as quickly as I can to let the chocolate set and get everything in, now let me take it out of the refrigerator and I need to take a look at what's going on.

I need to assess what's happening so I very carefully run a spatula under the cake and lift it off the rack and then I turn it over in my hand and I can see the caramel dripping from the bottom so now what I need to do do is use a little bit of my melted chocolate and just ice. I put it on and I'm basically hiding the seams with chocolate, which is not fun at all. It's not funny. That's why the seam hider isn't here. It's me. She doesn't want to be part of this. What are you doing?

Do you like it? I saw the screen like Guy Ritchie like What are you doing? You are doing? I saw the results oh okay, okay Oh, enjoy your couch. I'm on a stool. Thank you so much. I haven't forgotten the Rickles on top of the Twix and thought. To find a way to solve this, I'll put some chocolate in a parchment piping bag and then make a fairly large hole in the top and place it at random. I'm going to drizzle the Twix bar with chocolate and now I'm going to get all of these chocolate cakes back.

I'm so happy I drizzled the chocolate underneath because it's working. I can completely see that Twix Twix sees the texture on top and now I have three giant ones, one of them is for sure. I know what I have to do, although I need to cut one in half. Easter is on the way and my favorite thing about Easter is Easter lunch with everyone I love, which unfortunately this year none of us will be able to say, but don't worry because I have a streaming workshop that weekend at I live about happy baking and we will make my baked avocado toast together and along the way you can ask me anything you need to know and I will be here to help you, it's a great way to connect while we are all apart, we can do this together and you will leave feeling very proud of what you did.

I do a lot of other things too, so click here to check them out. I will see you next week.
