Ready to make the Shirt Cake? Then let's do it together!

Ingredients for cooking

To cook something, you need to have certain products for this, otherwise nothing will come of it.

So, to prepare a white biscuit, the following ingredients are needed:

• 4-5 small eggs;
• 4 tablespoons of sugar;
• 2 tablespoons of first-class flour;
• ½ teaspoon baking powder;
• 2 tablespoons starch;
• 100 grams of dried apricots.

To make a chocolate biscuit you will need:

• 4-5 eggs;
• 1, 5 tbsp siftedflour;
• 1, 5 tablespoons (tbsp) starch;
• 4, 5 tbsp sugar;
• 3 tablespoons of your favorite cocoa;
• 150 grams of nut mix.

To prepare the cream, you need:

• half a kilo of not very fat sour cream;
• 200-250 grams curd mass;
• 300 grams of sugar;
• zest of ½ lemon.

To decorate a shirt cake, use:

• 300-350 grams of butter;
• 5 tablespoons of condensed milk (condensed milk);
• 500 grams of mastic made from marshmallows;
• 0, 1 kilogram of chocolate mastic;
• 0, 1 kilogram of gelatin mastic.

Step 1

After discussing the ingredients, you can start preparing the Shirt and Tie cake. First you need to prepare a two-color biscuit.

So, to make a white biscuit, mix flour, baking powder and starch in one bowl. Beat the whites until foamy, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, then beat with a mixer until persistent peaks appear. Mix egg yolks with sugar (the remaining amount).

Now you need to mix ½ of the resulting mass with proteins with the yolk mixture.

Bake for 15 minutes at an oven temperature of 180 degrees. Readiness can be checked with a special wooden stick.

Chocolate biscuit is prepared in the same way. However, on top of it should be laid out sliced \u200b\u200bdried apricots. Bake also for 10-15 minutes at the previously indicated temperature.

Wait until the cakes cool, and then cut them into 2 parts.

The next step is to prepare the creamy mass. To do this, simply mix all the ingredients and stir for 10-15 minutes.

Pay attention! If desired, the cakes can be greased with alcohol or a solution of cognac with syrup. Use 100 milliliters of water, 3 tablespoons of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, add 3 tablespoons of cognac. Cool the mixture, soak the cakes gently. After that, the pastry should be put in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

Step 2

Now the best chef in the world needs to make buttercream and then cover the cake with the resulting mixture, which you first had to fold yourself. Try to make the coating appear as even as possible.

Step 3

Now you need to prepare a part from marshmallow and gelatin mastic that will look like a shirt collar. In this case, it is necessary to mix the mastic in a ratio of 1 to 1.

To do this as quickly as possible, chefs recommend cutting something out of cardboard that looks like a plastic rack, which is an integral part of the collar of every shirt. In addition, you can get such a rack from some shirt, so as not to suffer. Be sure to wipe the part with alcohol or vodka to keep it really clean.

Roll out the mastic, then cut out the details from it in the form of a strip. By the way, the width of this strip should be exactly twice as wide as the rackcollar.

Of course, at first it may seem to you that it is very difficult to make a “Shirt” cake from mastic. This is true, but every self-respecting housewife can handle it!

So, put the mastic collar on the stand so that it really looks like a real shirt collar.

By the way, you might end up with something like this:

Gorgeous, isn't it?

Step 4

The previously chilled cake should be covered with fondant. Using your imagination and abilities, make a shirt sleeve from mastic residues, and then cut a long strip from the same mastic. Using a toothpick, make thin stitches on both sides.

After wetting this strip with water, try to carefully stick it to the almost cooked cake. Now we cut out the cuffs for the sleeves from the mastic.

The next step is preparing a tie to get a chic shirt cake. The master class on this page will help everyone prepare a breathtakingly tasty dish that is sure to please!

So, cut one strip out of white mastic and the other out of chocolate mastic. Roll out the strips, cut out the tie.

Final step

Now you need to install a collar on top of the cake, but do not forget to first remove the plastic stand. The tie was supposed to be multi-colored, that is, white and chocolate. When you rolled out both types of mastic, they mixed.

Cooked cakeyou need to let it brew for several tens of minutes.

Simple cake at home: recipe

Want to try making simple cakes at home? The recipes are varied, but we recommend that you try the following cake!

To make the rather popular Napoleon cake, the following ingredients are needed:

• 3 yolks;
• 200 grams of butter;
• 450 grams of margarine;
• 6 cups of all-purpose flour;
• 3 cups of sugar;
• milk (1 liter).

The process of making Napoleon cake. Step 1

First we need to make the dough for the cakes. To do this, mix flour, margarine, add milk (1 cup), knead the dough well. The mixture should turn out to be very oily, so it will not stick to your hands, or to the table, or to the board. In no case do not knead the dough for a very long time, because because of this it will lose its certain properties and become tough.

Now we divide the resulting mass into 14 equal pieces, each of which is rolled out very thinly. Put the first layer on a dry baking sheet, straighten it. We also cut off the excess pieces of dough. So, all 14 cakes need to be baked in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees. One cake should take you 7 to 10 minutes.

Pay attention! The cakes are very thin and fragile, so be extremely careful.

Step 2

Preparing the cream. We mix the required number of yolks with three tablespoonsspoons of sugar. Mix with a mixer until a white foam appears. Add three tablespoons of sifted flour, mix again. If the consistency is not like jelly, add some milk.

Approximately 500 milliliters of milk should be boiled. Add it to the egg and sugar mixture and mix well. We put the suspension on the fire and bring to a boil. Mix the previously indicated amount of butter with two glasses of sugar, beat with a mixer.

Slowly add the custard to the butter and sugar mixture. You need to do this 1 spoon at a time, then mix with a mixer. Don't rush!

Lubricant cream should be smeared with cakes, and then put them into one component. We recommend that you press down the cake at night with some kind of weight. Cream that comes out on the sides, spread on top, then sprinkle with crumbs.

You can make other cakes the same way. If you love puff cakes, then all you need to do is replace the cream and make a more chic product.
