Spirit Baking


A step-by-step guide to spirit baking

Step 1: Drink 2 beers.

Step 2: Open a new YouTube window and create a playlist of Icelandic Punk & New Wave (Purrkur Pillnikk etc).

Step 3: Shave your head into an extreme hairstyle, such as a feathercut/chelsea cut etc (optional)

Step 4: Select one of the following recipes...



Licorice Blackberry Bar

Similar in size and shape to a necklace box, this treat if eaten during a polar twilight will enhance your ability to perceive what is hidden.

 - Melt a shed load of chocolate, procure a slab of licorice and fresh blackberries.

 - Sculpt clover and spade shapes out of the licorice, set aside.

 - Make a soft blackberry nougat and mix the licorice clovers and spades into it.

 - Mold the nougat into a jewellery box shape and cover in chocolate. Leave to set.



Licorice Mousse with accompaniment

Black, this dish should be served with a flaming sambuca chaser. Once consumed, and imbibed, the stars will seek you out.

 - Make a licorice mousse, sprinkle with sheared licorice flakes or black popping candy, or chunks of chocolate.

 - Pour a flaming sambuca shot.

 - Prepare to be penetrated by the stars.



Berggangar; Chocolate Malt Ice Cream Cake with Crimson Coulé

This malt ice cream cake juts above a tart raspberry ocean like a lonely berggangar in a red northern ocean. It is the gift bringer.

 - Make chocolate malt flavoured ice cream in an ice cream maker, leave in the freezer till the next day.

 - Mold into the shape of a pinnacle, also commonly called a sea stack.

 - Prepare raspberry coulĂ©.

 - Fill plate around malt ice cream to create ocean effect.

Be warned; this delight may open the door to an unfathomable abyss.


                              
                       The Golden Galleon

This tart rides in on an invisible wind, and is a herald for providence. Even preparing it will take you higher........Consuming it will lead you onto paths unbroken.

 - Make red velvet sponge with blackcurrant jam in between the layers

 - Make red butter cream icing and cover the cake so as to resemble a wild and stormy ocean.

 - With cherry flavoured marshmallow that you've made earlier, construct a dramatic 'islet' on top of the cake.

 - Sculpt a Spanish galleon out of pure marzipan, cover in edible gold and place next to the marshmallow.



......now all you need to do is await
