Welcome to HowToCookThat I'm Ann
Reardon and today I have with me James
from TheOdd1sOut ... Hello. And if you
haven't seen his channel he does amazing
animation, some of which are about when
he used to work at a fast food joint called ...
'Sooubway'. So obviously if you go
there and you order something you get to
choose what's inside I am going to make
a cake but I'm going to make it to the
custom order of what you would like
inside. So if you could have anything,
did you ever get to make your own?
Oh yeah yeah we got a free six inch
every time we worked there. There you go so
what would be your favorite things?
Start with the roll, talk us through.
Well alright how complicated can I make it?
As complicated as you like. I want it to be
a foot long. Okay, foot long.
Wait, that would be like a half a meter long.
See the thing is, Australians do understand American feet and inches.
It's just the other way around
Americans don't get Australian. Okay so a foot long
on white and my favourite sandwich
is a turkey Italiano so it's
salami and pepperoni and instead of
putting ham out on the sandwich you put
turkey on it. Turkey yes, do you have any
sauces in it? Yes mayonnaise and mustard
and then oil vinegar and salt and pepper.
What salad would you choose?
This is where we get complicated, for veggies basically
lettuce tomato cucumbers olives.
That's easy so far. Oh and I forgot the cheese
- I like American cheese and not toasted.
No is it toasted trying to remember? It's
been so long. Let's do not toasted, it will look nicer as a cake.
Yeah you're right that would be weird.
How would you toast a cake?
You'd have to make it look like it was
but it would look nicer fresh I
am envisaging it looking fresh.
I'm imagining it as like a cold sandwich
you take on the go.
You know like you go on a fishing trip
and you bring the sandwich.
So lettuce tomato olives cucumber a little
bit of jalapenos to give it that spice.
Whenever I asked for jalapenos there was
just like you want to give a mound of
jalapenos but just like like for a
footlong I guess maybe like
one for each bites would be like eight
jalapenos. This is very specific!
That is probably too low
I'm probably low balling maybe
twelve I don't know. Perfect we've got
the order now I've got to make the cake.
Sorry for making so many ingredients.
It's your order. Step one I decided to go to
Subway and buy James's exact order yes
I took a list with me so I could see
what it was supposed to look like. We've
got the white roll and you can't even
see any turkey I assume there is turkey
in there because I had to pay extra to
get turkey instead of ham ...
there is Turkey there's just not much. I
was expecting it to be more like this
with lots of Turkey as advertised 😉
But anyway we've got the olives the
cucumber tomato mayonnaise jalapenos and
heaps of pepper it's just piled on top
there. I think we'll use this is a bit of
a guide but make it look a bit nicer
looking like they do in the adverts
rather than making it look like a squashed
down roll where you can't see half the
ingredients. Let's start with the salami
it's got lots of little bits in it and
as much as possible I don't want to use
fondant for the fillings some of them
will have to because they've got lots of
detail but this one I think we can get
away with. Chop some nuts I'm using a
mixture of walnuts and almonds you can
use whatever ones you like. As well as
the nuts will need white chocolate and
butter and all the recipe quantities for
these are listed on the
howtocookthat.net website for you and
I'll link to that below of course. Add
the butter to the chocolate and melt
that in the microwave. Stir it well to
combine using a whisk works well for
that and then add in some food colouring.
I'm using a little bit of blue and some
red to get that deep salami colour once
you're happy that it looks like the
right colour you can go ahead and add in
the nuts and stir them through. Pour that
mixture onto some plastic wrap and fold
it over
on one side seal it then fold the other
bit over. Hold it at both ends and spin
it to make a roll of mixture you'll need
to place that in the fridge for several
hours or I put mine in the freezer to
make it set quicker. The pepperoni is a
brighter orange red color and to make
that I'm going to use marshmallows white
chocolate and then a mixture of chopped
nuts and dried apricots. You need to chop
the apricots really fine so that we
don't have big chunks of orange in the
pepperoni. You can do that by hand or if
you have a mincing attachment to your
mixer you can try that I think by hand
was much more effective at getting
little tiny chunks ... if you do it in the
mincer then you're going to need to chop
it with the nuts anyway afterwards to
break it into little pieces. Put the
chocolate in with the marshmallows and
melt that in the microwave and then stir
in some food coloring until you get that
right pepperoni colour. Then add in the
nuts and the apricots and stir that all
through quickly before the marshmallows
start to set. Wrap it up just like we did
for the salami and place that in the
freezer for a few hours to firm up.
Moving on next we need to make triangles
of cheese ... grab some banana lollies (candy) and
melt them in the microwave with a tiny
bit of water and pour that mixture onto
some baking paper. Add another sheet of
baking paper over the top and roll it
out using a rolling pin to about the
thickness of your cheese. Once it's
starting to cool cut it into triangles
and then you want to put that into an
airtight container in the fridge to set.
For the lettuce we need some fine green
bits but again I don't want to use
fondant for this ...
so take some compound white chocolate
melt it and color it green using some
oil based food coloring and then spread
that between two sheets of baking paper
until it's really thin. Push it out at
the edges to make it way beyond the
edges instead of straight and then all
you need to do is rip the top piece of
baking paper off so you get two
sheets of really thin chocolate. Scrunch
up each one on the edges so that your
lettuce is all crinkled and it's not
flat and then you just put that in the
fridge to set this is probably the
easiest bit you need to make. Once it's
set just peel it off the paper to get
strips of lettuce ... that looks pretty cool
hey. For the sauces let's make a white
chocolate ganache which is just cream
and chocolate melted together and
stirred well. We're going to split that
into two bowls and for the mustard I'm
gonna add a little bit of brown, it
wasn't yellow which I thought it would
be, but at the store it was browny and
then add some white food coloring to the
one that we're making look like
mayonnaise. For pepper I'm just gonna
finely grate some really dark chocolate
this is 90% cocoa so it's really dark
and for salt I'll just use some sugar of
course. When the tomatoes are in the roll
we can only see just the very edges of
them so we don't need to do all the
details of the middle. I'm just going to
melt some red lollies (candy) in the microwave
and add a bit of white and yellow
colouring to get that tomato colour right
and then pour that into some greased
circle cutters and let it set. You can
see a bit more of the cucumber so we're
going to have to put some detail into
that so I'm going to make these ones out
of fondant. Roll a snake of pale green
then flatten it on one edge so that it
looks like a teardrop shape. Cut that
into three parts and wrap it in some
deeper green just adding each of your
three bits there so that it's all in one
bit then wrap that in lighter green. Trim
the ends and again cut it into thirds
and then put those three pieces together
and we want to rearrange that and shape
it so that we have a rough circle shape
there. Round it out and add any spare of
your light green around the outside of
that and then wrap that whole thing in
the other green color that you have and
then finally wrap the dark green
cucumber skin colour of
the outside. Put that in the fridge to
firm up before you cut it and then slice
it so you get slices of a cucumber with
that pattern through it. Take a straw and
squash one side of it to make a teardrop
shape and then use that to indent around
the paler areas so that it looks like
seeds. For the turkey tip some white
chocolate coloured with oil based food
colouring onto a piece of bench top
that's been in the freezer ... you can use
marble stone or Corian for this but it
does need to be in the freezer overnight
so it's really cold ⛄️
Spread out the chocolate then cut an
oval of turkey meat. Loosen it from the
base and I'm gonna cut mine in half the
flat side can go towards the back of the
roll and I'm just focusing on what the
front side looks like. Lift up some areas
off the edges so that it's not
completely flat and it has a bit of a
wrinkle to it. Now take some cocoa powder
and using your finger rub it along the
edges so it looks like sliced turkey ... be
careful just trying to get it right on
the edge and not on the top of your
chocolate. Can you believe that this is
white chocolate it actually looks like
sliced turkey but it's white chocolate!
For the olives roll out some grey
fondant and cut small circles using a
tiny cookie cutter and then out of the
middle use a straw to cut out another
circle. Paint around the edges carefully
using black gel food colouring, if you get
any on the top you can just wash that
off using a wet bit of paper towel but
try and get it just on the edges. Then
give each one a few indents and bumps in
the middle they can get a bit uneven
from being pitted. For the jalapenos wrap
some light green fondant in deeper green
and slice off some pieces about the
thickness that you want the jalapeno
slices to be. Now James wanted 8 or maybe
more jalapenos so we need to keep
slicing and make plenty of those. Cut a
straw so you have about a third of it
left and push it in at the
edge of the lighter green and you'll
need three cuts like that. Then take a
skewer, put it into the cut and drag it
down towards the center of the jalapeno
and again do that in each of your cuts.
Then add some tiny balls of that light
green on top for the seeds. Grab your
salami roll out of the freezer and wrap
it and slice it and you can see all
those little pieces inside look just
like we wanted it to. Do the same with
the pepperoni now because this one has your
marshmallows in it if it squashes a
little bit when you're slicing it you'll
just need to reshape it using your
fingers so that you get a circle again.
It's quite hard to cut this one thin so
if you want thinner slices place it
between two sheets of baking paper and
roll it out flat and then just remove
the baking paper. Now for the bread ...
finally we're up to the cake part of the
cake. So for this you're going to need to
make a tray of my vanilla cake now
you only need one tray per foot long
sub that you want to make. Each footlong
sub cake will serve 12 people so if you
want to serve more than that just make
more than one tray and more than one
cake. Once it's baked trim the edges and
measure out a piece of cake that's eight
centimeters or three and a bit inches by
thirty centimeters or a foot long. Round
out your corners and then do that again
so you have another one the same shape
and keep that end strip because you're
going to need that piece. Trim the
underneath edge off one of your pieces
and cover that in buttercream then
transfer it to a cake board covered in a
subway paper. I asked the lady who served
me for an extra piece of paper and she
gave me one so hopefully whoever serves
you is helpful too. Cover that in fondant
and smooth it out and around the cake
use your little finger just to push it
in around the base. Then cut off the
extra fondant leaving a little bit more
than you think you need and then just
tuck that extra in using a spatula. If
you don't have a spatula you could just
use a knife for that instead. Use some
cocao powder to brush along the outside of
the roll so you get a bit of variation
in the colour there and then take your
other piece of cake and cover the top of
it in buttercream and then add that
extra strip that we kept before and put
it on top. Carve your cake down on an
angle and down around sloping at the
edges making it the shape of the top of
a bun rounding out the corners there.
Then of course you want to cover that
whole thing in buttercream. Once you've
roughly got it covered use a piece of
acetate just to smooth it out so that
it's nice and smooth. Cover the top in
fondant and use your hands to smooth
around it and make the fondant hug onto
the cake then trim off the excess and
tuck it in just like we did before when
we were doing the other half of the roll.
Brush the top of that in cocoa powder so
it looks like it's been baked and then
add a few little creases
into the fondant using the back of your
knife so that it's not perfect if it's
too perfect it doesn't look like it's a
bread roll. Now let's assemble our subway cake.
This Is It this is when the
sandwich gets put together and I'm
hoping that it turns out amazing!
Start with the chocolate lettuce... now you want
to place that on the base all over it,
paying attention to what you can see
around the edges because that's what
you're going to see so it doesn't really
matter what's in the middle so much.
We want to layer it up because it's
really fine it will get squashed down by
the other ingredients so put more than
you think you need so that once it
squashes down it looks right. Add the
lolly snake tomatoes into place and
then the slices of cucumber all the way
across. Now add in your olives and of
course your jalapenos ... how many did James want again?
We're gonna have to hide some
of them in there there is just so many
they're not gonna all be able to be on
display. Pipe on some mustard and then
some chocolate ganache mayonnaise.
Oh I was like, No not mustard!
But no, it's "mustard"
And then sprinkle on
the grated dark chocolate for pepper and
some sugar for salt. Next add the banana
lolly cheese. I'm not sure how many
slices you're supposed to have in a
subway but mine only came with four
triangles so that's what I'm putting in.
Then put the white chocolate turkey on
top add the candy pepperoni and then the
salami on top of that. I know they don't
have this but I'm adding a bit more
ganache on top at the back just to help
the lid of the cake stick in place. Then
add your top piece of cake and give it a
gentle squash down and tada!
We've finished ... a Subway sandwich cake made
to the order of James from TheOdd1sOut.
And Wow!
That cake looks so amazing there is so
much detail on like the cucumbers
and the olives and the jalapenos ah this is
so beautiful.
Let's cut it in half so that you can see what's inside.
Compare it to a sandwich that I got just now this is a BLT on flatbread...
and then to frigging this!
Ah at Sooubway we were called sandwich
artists ... this is a sandwich masterpiece!
Thank you so much! This looks so good
better than anything I could have ever
created. Oh man just like my mouth is
watering you know.
