Cream cake for boy

With your own hands, making a cake in the form of a cream machine is not as difficult as it seems. To do this, you do not need to have artistic skills, even a novice culinary specialist will cope with the task.

Ingredients Composition:

  • round biscuit;
  • protein cream, because it is less susceptible to spreading than others;
  • natural or food colors in red, black, yellow and blue.

Cooking method:

  1. For a biscuit, cut circles in parallel on both sides. This will be the sidewalls of the car.
  2. Divide one cut part in half and place 2 pieces on top of the biscuit - this will be the cabin.
  3. If the biscuit is high, then it is necessary to cut along the bottom of the “machine” and smear it with cream so that the cake does not turn out to be too dry.
    Confectioners recommend first distributing the cream along the contour of the product and only then smear the center. Due to this, he will not protrude beyond the edges of the product. Moreover, as the filler of the cake, you can use different fillings, and not just protein cream.
  4. Unused biscuit trimming should be turned into a crumb state. The fastest way to do this is with a blender.
  5. Prepare the basis for sculpting the machine, for which it is necessary to mix biscuit crumbs with cream.
  6. From the resulting mass, fashion the missing fragments of the machine - a bumper, a wing, etc.
  7. Beat a portion of the protein cream with butter and add the dye of the desired color. Cover the machine with the resulting composition and send it into the cold so that the workpiece “seizes”.
  8. Using a toothpick, draw the outline of windows, headlights, doors, wheels and other parts of the car.
  9. Cook airy protein cream. Put a small part of it in a separate bowl and add a couple of drops of yellow dye. Place the cream in a pastry bag with a thin nozzle and draw the headlights of the machine, as well as those details that the fantasy tells.
  10. By analogy, paint the remaining sections of the cake with the cream of the desired shade. Https: //www.youtube.com/watch? V = GR5Y79IkntE
