This post has been a long time coming! I made this cake for the last Edinburgh Cake Ladies baking event, a Spooky Bakes themed cake munching extravaganza held at Mary Kings Close. For those that don't know, Mary Kings Close is a preserved underground close from when Edinburgh was a rabbits warren of different lanes, alleyways and closes coming from the Royal Mile. These date back to the 1600s and most of these have been closed up now but Mary Kings Close remains preserved under the Royal Mile, providing a fascinating insight into how people from all classes of society lived. With two potential ghosts haunting the close it was the perfect venue for our spooky bakes and it was a really special event.
I pretty much knew what I wanted to make straight away - a gruesome (but delicious) bloody heart cake. As a long time fan of Miss Cakehead's Eat Your Heart Out project, I love gory cakes so it was a great excuse to make this bloody anatomical heart cake. It had to taste amazing too, so I combined a cherry vanilla cake filled with cream cheese icing and covered with cherry syrup sticky sugarpaste. It's not quite as an intimidating project as it looks and it doesn't matter if you're not very confident with rolled fondant - it's very forgiving of a roll or two as this helps with the anatomical veined look that it's aiming for. It does take up a bit of time but the cake can be frozen before you're ready to cover it in fondant and certainly benefits from a long period in the fridge before carving it.
It goes without saying that other cakes from the evening were fabulous, however because it was so dark I didn't really get any good pictures so visit the Edinburgh Cake Ladies' blog to see them if you so wish!
My Bloody Valentine Bloody Heart Cake
Cherry vanilla cake
Ingredients:
320g plain flour
50g cornflour
20 g baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
415 ml whole milk, at room temperature
6 egg whites, at room temperature
3 tablespoons (45 ml) cherry juice/syrup (from the jar of
cherries, I used Bonne Maman Cherry Compote)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
450g vanilla sugar (or regular caster sugar)
173g unsalted butter, at room temperature
150g finely chopped maraschino cherries (optional)
1 teaspoon red food colouring gel (I used Sugarflair’s Ruby)
Method:
1. Preheat the oven
to 180°C and centre the oven rack. Line
and grease three round 8-inch pans.
2. Sift the flours,
baking powder and salt into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together the milk, eggs,
cherry juice and vanilla extract in a medium bowl or large glass measuring cup.
3. In an electric
mixer cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until very pale and creamy,
about 5 minutes.
4. With the mixer
still on medium speed, alternate additions of the flour mixture and milk-egg
mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture (3 dry additions, 2 wet),
beating after each addition until incorporated. Continue mixing on medium speed
for 2 minutes. Fold in finely chopped cherries.
5. Divide batter
evenly among 3 cake pans, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula or
rubber spatula. Bake until a skewer
comes out with a few crumbs only, about 30 minutes. Cakes should be well-risen
and springy to the touch.
6. Transfer the cakes
to cooling racks and cool for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges by running a
knife around the sides. Gently turn out the cakes, peel of parchment paper
bottom, then cool right side up.
Cherry cream cheese frosting
Ingredients:
500g icing sugar
100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
250g cream cheese, cold
1 teaspoon cherry juice/syrup
1 teaspoon red food colouring gel (I used Sugarflair’s Ruby)
Method:
1. Beat the icing
sugar and butter together in an electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use
a handheld electric whisk) until the mixture comes together and is well mixed
(about 5 minutes.
2. Add the cream
cheese, cherry juice and food colouring gel in one go and beat until it is
completely incorporated. Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed. Continue
beating until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Do not beat for longer as the mixture can go runny.
Ingredients:
1 jar cherry compote (I used a jar of Bonne Maman cherry compote)
Sugarpaste icing, tinted red (I used poppy red fondant from The Finishing Touch)
Blue gel food colouring
Corn syrup or piping gel
Method:
1. Once cooled, place first cake on your plate and cover with a thin layer of cream cheese icing and cherry compote. Repeat for the second layer and leave the third top layer uniced. Put the cake in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
2. Using a large serrated knife, trim the cake into a triangular shape with rounded corners, creating a roughly sculpted three-dimensional anatomical heart shape.
3. Add a small of of blue gel food colouring to the red fondant with a toothpick and knead, folding two or three times. Do not overmix, you just want the illusion of veins.
4. Measure the cake. Dust a stainproof work surface with icing sugar and roll the fondant with a large rolling pin. Roll the fondant to a quarter inch thickness. Fondant should be about twice the size of the cake measurements. Lay the fondant over the cake. Position the fondant so there is a large overhang of fondant at the top of the cake, but still plenty of fondant at the bottom of the cake.
5. Cut away excess fondant around the "bulb" of the heart (everything except the "artery" at the top of the cake), leaving a 2 inch margin to tuck under the cake. Reserve excess fondant for later use.
6. Tuck the excess fondant under the cake by gently lifting the cake slightly and folding the fondant underneath. The weight of the cake will help seal the fondant edges. Use the uncut fondant at the top of the cake to create a tubelike shape, or "artery".
7. Use corn syrup to seal the artery ends together. Fold a portion of the tube inward to create a clean edge. Sculpt the heart's artery further by pressing your fingers into the icing on either side of the fondant tube and pulling your fingers downward to create an impression.
8. Cut a piece of rolled fondant to 6 x 10 inches. This does not have to be perfectly square, just use whatever scraps are available. Fold 1 inch of fondant inward and roll the piece lengthwise into a tube, leaving the bottom portion open. This piece will be placed to the right of the artery; use corn syrup or piping gel to adhere to the cake. Any imperfections in the fondant can be 'molded' to look more anatomical - don't worry if there's any small tears or bumps, this will all be covered over.
9. Drain the jar of cherry compote and glaze the cake with the juice. Any stray cherries that are on the cake make a gruesome addition! Cover the cake completely so it's shiny and red and sufficiently gory.

Kobe Bryant’s newest signature shoe, the Nike Kobe AD – also known as the Nike Kobe 12, has just received the NIKEiD treatment.You can now customize your own NIKEiD Kobe AD to go along with the nike free 4.0 flyknit debut of the Nike Kobe AD silhouette that officially released today, November 22nd.You can now take advantage of this option directly on NIKEiD. From a range of color Nike Shox option and features, the shoe retails for $205 USD.
The Italian release of the Nike Air Max 97 La Silver is making a return for the 2016 holiday Nike Roshe Flyknit season, which is just in time for the silhouette’s 20th anniversary.Earlier this year, Nike reissued an Italy-exclusive release of the Nike Air Max 97 OG, and now they’re Nike Roshe Run set to have a wider release.With the 20th anniversary of the Nike Air Max 97 looming — and ahead of more Italy-exclusive celebrations to follow last month’s limited Nike Air Max Zero re-releases — some of those who were there from the start share their memories and thoughts on the now iconic silhouette.MICHELA GATTERMAYER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, ELLE (1989-2004)“I have to admit nike free 5.0 that I first found them horrendous. But that kind of fascinating horrendous: brutto-bello. Freaks. Their aesthetic was totally outside of our visual vocabulary. At the time sneakers were nike free trainer 5.0 worn very infrequently in fashion.”“As a graffiti writer it was cool because you could get a photo taken of yourself with a flash in front of a piece Nike Air More Uptempo in a tunnel and you’d be all covered up but there was a crazy glare coming from your shoes. They made you feel like you were doing some Nike Air Force 1 space age stuff when you went out at night.”“I can remember that you had kids turning up wearing AM97s for both the hip-hop and the hardcore nights.

In the fourth episode, the Man in Black gets closer to solving the puzzle. He meets Armistice (Ingrid Bolso Berdal), who he believes has a key clue to guide him to the maze: the story behind her snake tattoo.

This isn't to Nike Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet say that I haven't loved it. I have. Hearing Michael Jordan tell his own story, in a way, has shown us some of Michael Jordan's biggest Cheap Nike Air Force 1 flaws. AbstractBackground to commencing a randomised controlled trial, we conducted a focused ethnography to ensure that the trial was well suited to the proposed setting. Six month observation of a Child and Adolescent Coach Bags Clearance Mental Health Service site in the North East of England was undertaken to observe the site procedures, staff culture and patient care pathways. During this period, documentary data were Cheap Yeezy Shoes Sale collected and interviews were conducted with key informants to provide insight into Ray Ban Outlet staff perceptions of the proposed trial.
For these complexes similar levels of covalency are found for cerium(IV) and uranium(IV), whereas thorium(IV) is found to be more ionic, and this trend is independently found in all computational methods employed. The computationally determined trends New Air Jordan Shoes in covalency of Ce U > Th are also reproduced in experimental exchange reactions of 1 3 with MCI4 salts where 1 and 2 do not exchange with ThCl4, but 3 does Jordan Shoes For Sale exchange with MCl4 (M = Ce, U) and 1 and 2 react with UCl4 and CeCl4, respectively, to establish equilibria. This study therefore provides complementary theoretical and experimental evidence that MK Outlet contrasts to the accepted description that generally lanthanide ligand bonding in non zero oxidation state complexes is overwhelmingly ionic but that of uranium is more covalent..
