Second Fondant Cake

Past Sunday I decided to do my second fondant cake on Sunday for my roommate. Even though that her birthday is like 1 month. I wanted her to celebrate her birthday because I don’t know if I am going to see her.

The theme as you can see is of the “Lilo and Stitch” movie.Either way I decided to do my moms “Puerto Rican” cake recipe that consist of:

2 cups of cake flour
2 sticks of butter
1 cup of white sugar
6 egg yolk’s
1 cup of whites
1 tbs of brandy
1tbs of vanilla

So you are going to whisk the butter with the sugar and the egg till the sugar dissolves. Same as pour in the vanilla and the tbs of brandy, later put in the flour.

In another bowl whisk in the whites till they have the consistency of almost meringue then fold it to the batter. After you do that bake it to 350 degrees in your oven.

So for this cake you need to do a simple syrup that is

2 cups ofd water
1 cup of sugar
and 1 cup of brandy

You have to let it simmer till the alcohol evaporates, so thats practically it. For the frosting I use shortening frosting. Which is

1 cup of shortening
3 cups of confectioners sugar
1 tbs of vanilla

And to help it to make it a little more manageable add some water not a lot cuz you don’t want it super liquid.

This recipe is the one that she has been using since my childhood. Hopefully you like it follow me through my instagram and see you in the next blog.

Personally I have been coming to this place since I was 12 and have been coming since. Like when I am chilling in the beach with my family or just when we want something fried.

Same as if you want to go to a place that has a beach view and have a nice time with your family I really Really recommend it.

If you visit this place the things that I recommend is “Empanadilla de Jueyes” that is a type of crab, “Empanadilla de Langosta” that is from lobster, “Empanadilla de Camarones” that is from shrimp and if you feel kind of adventurous I recommend the one of shark.

My rating for this place 10/1o

The Cabachuela Caverns

The Cabachuela Caverns are located in Morovis, Puerto Rico. Its composed of 6 caverns where you visit 3 of them. If you are interested you can write them to their web page on facebook “Las Cabachuelas de Morovis”.

The volounteers that are working in the caverns are looking up to teach and preserve the history of the “tainos” that once lived in the caves. Because most of the people that lives on that area of Morovis doesn’t know about it the caves neither the history that are in them.

In this place you can find a lot of different eco systems and the different insects that live inside the caverns.

This place is beautiful and really is a new adventure. I recommend if you go in a tour with them go in some shoes that can get dirty and some long pants or leggings.

This place is to go to if you are looking up for an adventure inside the island or if you want to challenge your self to do something new. This is a great place to take children so they have contact with nature and learn new things about the past.

My rating is 10/10.
