DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a patterned castella.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A castella is made by pouring a material in a fluid state in which water is added to flour, egg, sugar and the like and mixing the mixture into a mold, and firing the mixture by a natural fire.

[0003] On the upper surface of the castella made in this way, a pattern such as a character or a pattern (hereinafter referred to simply as "pattern").
Has been conventionally performed, and the most common method is a method of forming a fixed pattern by branding. Other special methods include, for example, JP-A-6-22679 and JP-A-6-2269.
No. 5 discloses a method of forming a pattern on the surface of a sponge cake substrate by screen printing.

[0004]

The above-described method of forming a pattern by branding is efficient when a relatively small pattern is formed on a large amount of castella, but it is difficult to use various types of patterns. If a large pattern is to be formed, many brands corresponding to the pattern must be prepared, and there is a problem that the cost of the brand increases. Also,
The production of branding itself is not easy, and it is difficult to change patterns or prototype new patterns. further,
In the case of this method, a pattern forming step is added after firing the castella, and there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.

The method of forming a pattern by screen printing has the advantage that a variety of patterns can be formed. However, similar to the case of branding, when a variety of patterns are to be used properly, the screen can be formed. There is a problem that the cost is high.

On the other hand, it has been practiced to form a mold into which a material in a flowing state is poured into a special shape so as to change the shape of baked confectionery such as sponge cake. Or it is to make a part of the shape a special shape, it is not suitable for the manufacture of castella,
In addition, it does not form a pattern on the upper surface.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a simple method without the need for a special jig such as a conventional branding.
An object is to obtain a castella having a pattern formed on an upper surface.

[0008]

According to the method for producing a patterned castella of the present invention, a fired castella is placed on a sheet on which a pattern with irregularities has been formed, with the upper surface of the fired castella facing down, and the pattern formed on the sheet is formed. Is transferred to form a pattern on the upper surface of the castella.

[0009] The sheet having the pattern formed by the irregularities is transferred by transferring the irregularity pattern of the sheet.
Cardboard or corrugated cardboard that has a pattern formed on the surface of the castella after firing and has such rigidity that the shape of the uneven portion does not collapse due to the weight of the castella when the castella after firing is placed Paper, a synthetic resin sheet, or the like can be used.

[0010] The uneven pattern of the sheet is formed by forming a pattern corresponding to the character or pattern desired to be formed on the upper surface of the castella by the unevenness. When a large number of sheets of the same pattern are manufactured, the pattern is formed by pressing. Alternatively, when a small number of sheets of various patterns are manufactured, the patterns may be formed manually. This concavo-convex pattern can be formed by only the concave portion, only the convex portion, or a combination of the concave portion and the convex portion.

[0011] By mounting the fired castella on the sheet with the uneven pattern formed thereon with the fired upper surface facing down, the pattern formed on the sheet by the weight of the castella is transferred to the castella, A castella with a pattern formed on the upper surface can be obtained.

[0012]

FIG. 1 is a view showing a process of manufacturing a castella according to the method of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing a cross section taken along line AA of FIG. 1 (c), and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a sheet on which is formed.

In the production of a castella with a top pattern according to the present method, a sheet 2 on which a concavo-convex pattern is formed is prepared together with a mold 1 used for normal castella production. As shown in FIG. 3, the sheet 2 used in the present embodiment is a corrugated cardboard in which a pattern is formed by arranging recesses 2a in the shape of leaves at several places. The sheet 2 is placed on the work table T with the pattern forming surface facing up.

In the production of castella, a fluid material M obtained by adding water to flour, eggs, sugar, etc. is poured into a mold 1 in accordance with a usual production method (FIG. 1 (a)), and this is baked by an open fire. (FIG. 1B). After firing, the castella K is placed on the work table
It is placed on the upper sheet 2 ((c) in FIG. 1). When left standing in this state, the castella K's own weight causes the castella's upper surface to conform to the uneven pattern of the sheet 2, and a castella product K having a pattern formed on the upper surface is obtained (FIG. 1 (d)).

As shown in FIG. 1D and FIG. 4, the pattern formed on the upper surface of the castella product K has a convex portion Ka corresponding to the concave portion 2a in the shape of a leaf of the sheet 2, and It looks like a few leaves scattered.

According to this method, after firing the castella, the castella is placed on the sheet on which the pattern of the unevenness is formed, with the upper surface of the castella at the time of firing facing downward, and the pattern formed on the sheet is transferred to the upper surface of the castella. Thus, a castella product having a pattern formed on the upper surface can be easily obtained without requiring a special jig such as a conventional branding. Since the formation of the pattern on the sheet 2 can be easily performed by pressing or manual work, it is easy to form the sheet 2 even when it is desired to use various types of patterns or to form a large pattern. Costs can be kept low.

In the above-described embodiment, as the sheet 2 on which the pattern is formed, the concave portion 2a having the shape of a leaf is used.
Was used in several places, but the shape of the pattern and the method of forming the irregularities can be changed arbitrarily.In addition to the cardboard paper, cardboard paper, synthetic resin sheets, etc. may be used. it can.

In the above embodiment, the size of the sheet 2 is the size of one mold. However, a large-sized sheet is used and a plurality of fired castellas are simultaneously placed thereon. The efficiency of pattern formation can also be increased.

[0019]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) A castella is placed on a sheet on which a pattern with irregularities is formed, with the castella upper surface after firing facing downward, and the pattern formed on the sheet is transferred to form a pattern on the castella upper surface. Further, a castella having a pattern formed on the upper surface can be easily obtained without requiring a special jig such as a conventional branding.

(2) Since a pattern can be formed on a sheet by pressing or manual work, it is easy to create a sheet even when it is desired to use various types of patterns properly or to form a large pattern. Cost increase can be kept low.
