that makes it, a Bombe (still pronounced as bomb), well not really a bomb. Ah, It’s a cake! to be precise, its ice cream cake, well at least for me. It’s called Bombe Alaska. I’m sure we’ve seen this in books or heard of this cake before. It’s known as Norweigen Omelette (which, really … really, don’t at any sides, look like an omelette)
Uh, it looks pretty weird. haha But I ‘did’ get compliments on piping. (oh well, then my piping was probably bad last time, hahahaha) Bombe Alaska is ice cream encased in sponge sheet (like the shape of a bowl) then covered with italian meringue and then browned quickly in a very hot oven, or blowtorch
We made quite a variety of ice creams during that week - vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate and mango and for sorbet, we had raspberry and orange. Fyi, my freezer is jam-packd with boxes of ice cream that seems never ending! I don’t even, ok maybe I do, but just minor spaces for my chickens! boo hoo
Seriously, I dont know what to talk about this Bombe. The layers in the bombe are, sponge sheet (thats shaped like a bowl, then vanilla ice cream, then meringue case, then some hazelnut icecream, then meringue. Then ice cream again, vanilla and hazelnut, and lastly, closed with a layer of sponge sheet. IT’s then kept in the freezer so, when we take out to put pipe meringue on it, it doesnt melt all over the place.
and…. a doomed photo…
like seriously, i don’t like wearing caps… or hats.. *ppfffF*
