Mahjong Birthday Cake for H and Si

I made a mahjong shaped/style birthday cake for H and Si's joint birthday, since they are Mahjong fanatics.
It was totally a labour of love (hindered with an hangover) but worth it, for the look on their faces. Everything is edible except for the foil on the chocolate coins and the cake board.

Churros

Recipe

Ingredients
235ml Water
30g White sugar
3g Salt
30ml Vegetable oil
125g Plain flour

Coating
Sugar
Cinnamon


Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a tray.

In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, salt and oil and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and stir in the flour, until mixture form a ball.

Heat oil in a pan.

Put mixture into a piping bag with a star shape nozzle.

When oil is hot, pipe long strips of dough in the oil, I used my finger to 'cut' the stripes from nozzle. Fry until golden and drain on paper towels before rolling in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

(Note. I had to use 3 piping bags because they had burst while piping the strips into the oil, maybe material are better than the plastic ones I used. Please be careful when piping the dough in the hot oil, aim to pipe as close to the oil as possible as to prevent oil splashes. I used rubber gloves while handling the piping bag and piping into the oil)
