Viennese Whirls Viennese whirls make a lovely Jubilee treat. I made half of mine with strawberry jam and half with raspberry jam. Delicious! Viennese Whirls (Adapted from a recipe by The Hairy Bikers ) Ingredients 250g soft butter 50g icing sugar 250g flour 50g cornflour ½ tsp vanilla bean paste Filling 100g butter 100g icing sugar plus ½ tsp for dusting ½ tsp vanilla bean paste 75g seedless raspberry or strawberry jam Method Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper. T ake a circular cutter and trace 16 circles onto the greaseproof paper. Flip the paper over so that the ink is on the bottom. Put the butter, icing sugar, plain flour, cornflour and vanilla extract in an electric mixer and mix until smooth. Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe whirls of dough onto the greaseproof paper using the circles as a guide...
Wow they are all stunning!

I love the high heels you use for the cupcake topper! I don't think it was edible. But they really look good!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. The high heels and peonies were made from flower paste and are completely edible!
ReplyDeleteThey're soooo pretty, especially the set of 4 boxes -- very lovely colours!
