With the appearance of funny panda Po in the cartoon, many children began to ask their parents to make a cake with their favorite character. Basically, of course, mastic is used for decoration. With her, it is easy and simple to realize any idea. But not everyone likes mastic. Therefore, the question arises, is it possible to make a Panda cake only from cream? Of course you can. And even easier than from mastic.

What do you need?

Those who are not used to making complex three-dimensional structures can only make a muzzle. It is much easier and even novice cooks can do it. In order to make such a Panda cake with your own hands, you will need:

• 2 round cake layers of your favorite cake;
• layer cream;
• whipped cream and ganache for garnish;
• chocolate eye drops.

For the base, you can use any cake of your choice. The main thing is that the hero of the occasion likes him. The only limitation is the naturalness of the components. It is desirable that baking for children does not contain artificial ingredients (margarine, dyes, etc.). In addition, you need to prepare a template for the future panda muzzle. This will make it easier during assembly, especially the first time.

Cake base

For those who do not know which recipe to take to make a Panda cake, it is recommended to start with a regular biscuit and buttercream. They are easy to work with, always delicious and quick to prepare.

For a classic biscuit you will need:

• 5 eggs;
• a glass of granulated sugar;
• a glass of premium wheat flour.

You don't need to add baking powder or soda. If everything is done correctly, then the biscuit will turn out lush and tall without them.

Crack 5 eggs into a deep bowl and start beating them at the highest speed of the combine. After one or two minutes, add granulated sugar in portions. After that, beat for another 7-10 minutes. The result should be a very lush white mass. If the yolks were very yellow, then slightly creamy.

Then sift the flour in portions and mix the dough gently with folding movements. Do it carefully and quickly, without fanaticism. As soon as the mass has become homogeneous, immediately shift into a mold. It must be lined with parchment and not lubricated with oil, so that when heated, it, flowing down the walls, does not interfere with the uniform rise of the biscuit.

Put in a preheated oven to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Do not open the door during cooking. In order to make a Panda cake, you will need two of these biscuits. Cut each cakein half, soak with sugar syrup if desired. If canned fruits are added to the cake, then use the juice from them.

Make a classic buttercream with 500 ml of cream and 50 grams of powdered sugar. One of the cakes immediately smear them on all sides. Canned fruit can be added if desired. This will be the muzzle. From the second cake, cut out the future ears and nose. Spread with cream and arrange according to the prepared template. The Panda cake is almost ready.

Decoration

At the last stage, it remains only to decorate it. Buttercream is also used for the white parts. Dark ears and nose can be made from it with the addition of cocoa, or you can make ganache from chocolate and cream. In rare cases, black dye may be used. Eyes and nose pip can be made from round chocolates. Leave for impregnation for 6-8 hours. It's so easy to make a Panda cake with your own hands without mastic.
