Creating a cake in the shape of a PC (personal computer)

We have prepared an interesting and easy master class on creating a computer cake that completely copies a real laptop. This kind of cake will especially appeal to schoolchildren, as well as people who are fond of advanced technologies.

Basic manufacturing principles related to the initial stagesbaking, you can also apply in other cake projects. A cake baked according to this recipe will definitely turn out to be extremely appetizing and fragrant. You can see the cake computer in the photo below.

We will need:

• three chicken yolks;
• 1 cup of sugar;
• 200 grams of butter or margarine (already slightly melted);
• half a bag of baking powder;
• two - two and a half cups of brownish-yellow flour.

Ingredients for the cake:

• three chicken proteins;
• 1 cup of sugar;
• one cup of shelled walnuts or peanuts.

Ingredients to create the cream:

• 150-200 grams of butter;
• one whole can of either plain or boiled condensed milk.

Cooking method

1. Prepare the bulk - the dough: rub the yolks with sugar, add butter, baking powder. Mix well with flour until the ingredients are completely dissolved and a homogeneous mass is obtained.
2. Basic done, now we are switching to making a cake. Fluff the whites with sugar until you get white slides. Roll out the dough into three shortbreads of a square or rectangular shape. Brush each one with our whipped egg white and sprinkle with grated nuts.
3. Create a delicious cream: mix butter with a whole jar of condensed milk. Beat the mass well with a mixer. Add nuts to the resulting cream andstir.
4. Cool the baked shortcakes and spread with cream (outer - the topmost one - you don’t need to smear the shortbread). So gradually a cake is obtained in the form of a computer. Photos can be seen below.

Notebook design ingredients

To create a computer cake design and laptop design you will need:

1. Square wafer shortbreads.
2. Chocolate.
3. Wood skewers.

Ingredients for making mastic: two hundred grams of marshmallows, 2 tablespoons of warm butter, 600 grams of powdered sugar, many colors of food dyes (the number of ingredients can be increased based on the size of the computer cake).

Cooking method

Procedure for making our computer cake:

1. Take waffle cakes and cut out two rectangles of the same size from them, they will be the future monitor of our laptop.
2. Melt the chocolate in a water bath, spread the resulting mass on one of the waffle cakes. Arrange wooden skewers on its sides and place another waffle cake on top. Put the resulting base in the freezer for a short time. 20 minutes will be enough.
3. To create a keyboard, do the same, but without the skewers. Also put in the freezer for twenty minutes.
4. All this time, while our laptop base will harden in the freezer, we can create mastic.
5. Pour outmarshmallows in a plate and add tender warm butter to it. We place the plate in the microwave for one quarter of a minute. From this procedure, the marshmallow will rise and swell.
6. Add the powdered sugar to the resulting mixture and mix well. As a result, you should get a mass that is not quite liquid. Watch its structure, because then you will have to apply it on a future laptop, and it will not have to drain.
7. Pinch off pieces of our mastic, you will need them to create and sculpt figures. Color one of the pieces the color you want by saturating it thoroughly with food coloring.
8. All actions must be performed on a dry, slightly powdered part of the table. Your hands should also be lightly coated with powdered sugar so that they don't stick to the fondant.
9. From the remaining mastic you will need to create a dull dark gray coating of our computer. And we also need a chestnut mastic cover for the bottom of the laptop. Divide the rest of the mass of mastic into two parts. In the first add a dull dark gray paint, and in the second - a pale chestnut, thoroughly knead everything without exception. It is necessary to knead until a homogeneous and one-color mass is obtained. Roll the resulting colored mastic into layers.

Forming a notebook

When the chocolate in the wafer shortcakes hardens well, it's time to take them out of the freezer. Pull out and carefully cover with the resulting mastic, gently smoothing out all the bumps with your hands. Cut off excess pieces of mastic with a knife, and the surface itselfmoisten with water. Wait a bit and let the cakes dry well. Next, we send our laptop base to the refrigerator. We are waiting for the absolute solidification of the entire mass. You can put the biscuits in the refrigerator overnight. Let's start decorating the cake itself. Prepare the cream by bringing it to a state similar to mastic. Beat it again until completely thickened, add one package of melted butter and four tablespoons of concentrated sugar syrup. Spread the resulting consistency on the surface of our cake. And again we send the cake to the refrigerator so that the cream hardens as much as possible. After that, we take it out of the refrigerator and cover with light brown mastic. So it turns out a stand for our laptop. Now let's start designing a laptop. Using wooden sticks, connect both parts of the computer, create inscriptions and letters on the keyboard and decorate the display itself with an interesting pattern. Place the laptop on the stand.

Our little laptop cake is complete!
