I wonder when the custom of celebrating birthday with cake spread into China. People now are pretty familiar with the “western-style” cakes. But I need to tell you that most of the cakes we’ve had in the past were not “straight-out”. Then how to define straight-out? In explanation I would like to quote a news headline from People’s Daily Online: Nudists in South Africa are on their tiptoe of expectation to the first “Straight-out” beach destination. Aha, nudity it is! Generally, birthday cake is plastered with thick cream and usually patterned by jelly. It’s just like a lady wears a bloated down coat, with more than that, smoky-eyes make-up. That is way too far from straight-out! Now maybe our loyal reader Mr. Fictitious wants to argue that all cakes are the same and there’s in fact no such thing as “straight-out” cake. Well good argument. But I do know a kind of cake that is pretty “straight-out” and its “straight-out-ness” can be shown from the name: naked cake. Based on our perfect logical definition above, only by its name the naked cake could win the “straight-out” cup prize.
蛋糕是过生日都要吃到的,但是怎样的蛋糕才算是坦诚的蛋糕?让我援引一则来自人民网的新闻标题来解释:南非裸体主义者翘首以待首个“坦诚相见”的沙滩基地。其实所谓的坦诚蛋糕,顾名思义就是不穿衣服嘛。大家过生日时吃的蛋糕外面糊了很厚的一层奶油,上面往往还用果酱一类画了一系列的图案。这就相当于一位女士不仅穿了王菲同款棉被式大羽绒服,还化了一脸的烟熏妆,跟“坦诚”是相去甚远。说到这就有人要问了:“蛋糕不就都那样,你找个坦诚的给我看看。”这位虚构的读者朋友你问得很好,我们还真就知道一种相当坦诚的蛋糕,有名为证:“裸蛋糕”。结合我们刚才对“坦诚”定义的严镇推论,在蛋糕界坦诚大赛中,裸蛋糕仅凭名字就获得了冠军。
Of course, it is just a joke about explanation of straight-out and here I apology to People’s Daily Online. However, in some sense, naked cake is indeed a “straighter-out” kind of cake. Because there has no frost or cream on external side, the layers and materials are presented in front of diners without reservation and limitation. This cake is peeling its heart out to show to the diners; in what way can anyone say it is not straight-out enough? Besides, at least we don’t have to worry about sticky hands and cheeks with cream spread all over after enjoy a naked cake.
Speaking of “naked”, this word is more than just a stunt of some kind of cake but also represents some life attitude that is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Architectures along streets are turning from ornamentalism into modernism; the rich replace their Da Vinci Collection furniture with Ming & Qing dynasty antique; while pop song lyrics show its evolution from “spring blossom in warm breeze” to “today I don’t feel like doing anything”. No one would like to put on his padded jacket under 30?C weather and it is the same that people are less willing to cover their private life up when pace of life continues to increase. “Clear and nice” now becomes the highest commendatory term of everything. And when it comes to “clear and nice”, nothing fits this description better than a rich-creamy-smelling, sweet big cake with lots of fresh fruits on it, right? 从某种意义上讲,裸蛋糕的确是一种更坦诚的蛋糕,因其外层没有厚重的奶油或糖霜,所以可以最大限度地将蛋糕的层次和材料毫无保留呈现在食客眼前。所需材料往往只有戚风蛋糕,新鲜水果以及夹心用的奶油。作为一个蛋糕,把自己的心都拿出来给食客看了,我们又有什么理由说它不坦诚呢?当然抛开坦诚,至少裸蛋糕没有吃过之后粘一脸一手奶油的后顾之忧。
再议“裸”字,似乎已经成为当下一种愈发流行的生活态度,而并非只是某种蛋糕的噱头。我们能看到街上的建筑从装饰主义变为现代主义,富人家的家具从达芬奇变为了明清家具,流行乐的歌词也从“就像花儿开在春风里”变成了“老子明天不上班”。生活节奏越快人们就越不愿意在生活中去掩饰什么,就像30度的天气没人愿意穿棉袄。“透明而美好”,成了对万物最高的褒义词。说到透明而美好,又有什么会比一个甜的、带大量鲜艳水果的、散发着浓郁奶香的大蛋糕更适合这个词呢。
No one’s able to hold back in front of such kind of lovely “straight-out” cake, including our editors, girls in particular. I can hear their inner voice screaming “Yes! Make it and eat it up!” Therefore, we visited Haoyou’s Workshop for this Vision special report. We planned to experience the process to “straight-out” a cake and eat it up!
This is the process of making a naked cake below. Haoyou Hu, owner of Haoyou’s Workshop, is our featuring consultant of this special report.
面对这样一种令人敬佩的坦诚的蛋糕,我们编辑部当然不会止步于只瞻仰其高贵的糕格,何况我已经听到了女编辑们内心“做做做!就做这个!做完吃!”的咆哮声,所以这期视界专题我们来到了仰慕已久的皓佑手工坊,并将亲自体验坦诚的蛋糕是怎样炼成的,并将亲!自!吃!
以下为裸蛋糕制作过程,本次专题特约顾问皓佑手工坊主理人胡皓佑。
First of all, we need a plain cake, or you can call it the classic way, a chiffon cake.
Haoyou: "As base of naked cake, just a normal plain cake will do."
首先我们需要一个蛋糕坯子,如果文艺一些也可以称其为“戚风蛋糕”。
皓佑:“用普通的蛋糕坯做裸蛋糕就可以。”
Some fresh fruits.
Haoyou: “The best choice of fruits is those in sweet and sour flavor, which could act as a complementary to the taste of cream. Some bakery use canned fruits, but in my workshop, only fresh fruits are qualified.”
新鲜水果若干。
皓佑:“水果最好是选择酸甜的,和奶油的味道会有一个互补。有些店家也有用水果罐头的,但我们坚持只用新鲜水果。”
How to blend the cream is crucial in producing a delicious naked cake. Materials that Haoyou uses are as shown in the photo. According to introduction, these are among the top selection of cream.
Haoyou: “Rum or syrup could be added as needed, and this time I’m putting a little bit of Rum in it.”
要做出好吃的裸蛋糕奶油的调配至关重要,皓佑使用的主要是上图中的两种材料。据说是奶油中的高富帅。
皓佑:“还可以根据需要略加一些朗姆酒或糖浆,这次我就稍加了一些朗姆酒。”
Cross cut the plain cake into three layers, plaster cream by layers and put fruit cubes on cream. Plaster cream as shown in photo. The trick is to lay a big bulk of cream in the center of each cake layer as start, then turn the rotary plate slowly while steady pat from top to bottom until all cream is evenly plastered. (Fanita insisted to take a try herself and was forced to stop uglifying the cake before long.)
Haoyou: “Pay extra attention to temperature during the process. Beginner might be too slow to keep cream from melting down in a high temperature.” 将蛋糕坯拦腰斩成三层,逐层涂抹奶油,并摆水果。图为涂抹奶油,要诀是先将一大坨奶油盛至蛋糕中间,然后边轻轻转动转台边从上到下匀速拍打,直至奶油均匀涂满。(此处倔强的人饭子坚持要尝试一下,最后做的太丑被我们轰下台。)
皓佑:“操作过程中要注意温度,初学者操作较慢,如操作环境温度较高奶油有化掉的风险。”
Placing fruits: "go free style as long as the layer is flat."
Haoyou: “Please pay attention to this detail that I turned the top layer of plain cake upside down before stacking it on the very top.”
摆水果,在摆平的前提下可以自由发挥。
皓佑:“注意这里有一个细节,我将蛋糕坯顶端的那部分翻过来摞在了上面。”
The finished cake. And the final step is to eat it up. I noticed that my colleagues were swallowing on the sneak.
Haoyou: “See, it is actually not that hard to make a naked cake.”
定妆照,就差吃了,我注意到同事们的喉咙不约而同的悄悄动了一下。
皓佑:“其实裸蛋糕并不难做。”
The “heart” of naked cake.
一个裸蛋糕的内心世界。
I can demonstrate the taste of this cake with the following facts: Haoyou, his assistants and us, five people finished this big cake in a blink. Judy said later: "I haven’t had a whole piece of cake for long time."
Special thanks to Haoyou and Haoyou’s Workshop for providing venue and support.
至于这个裸蛋糕味道如何,我不想直接去描述,但我可以说这样一个事实:我们加上皓佑及其助手五个人将这个很大的蛋糕快速地全部吃掉了,吃毕,Judy表示:“我很久没有吃掉一整块蛋糕了。”
特别感谢皓佑手工坊及皓佑本人提供的场地和技术援助。
