Birthday Cake

Hello Artists !

Not sure which category to put this topic , so I chose a new one: Art .

A birthday cake, more than a dessert or a sweet, is always a piece of art . If it is for someone in particular , we can always put our special touch.

Making a birthday cake can take some work, but isn't impossible.

- We begin by making two times the recipe of the Bread Sponge Pie and of the Egg Jam . Lay half the dough of the bread sponge cake in a small rectangular shape (about 20x30 cm ) , greased with margarine , lined with parchment paper and greased again . After baked , repeate again with the rest of the dough;

- We will then have two layers of cake . In a table or countertop , spread one of the halfs with egg cream and sprinkle with almonds as you like ;

- Put the other half of the cake on top of the first with the most cooked part facing the center ;

- Spread the entire cake with the egg jam, smoothing with a spatula to keep it shiny and with smooth appearance ;

- Spread about 100g of diced almonds on a baking tray and bake in a hot oven for a few minutes until they roast a bit . If you prefer , use raw almond ;

- With the hand , spread the  cake edges with the almonds;

- Decorate the cake at taste ( you have made ​​decorations at stores) may use well beaten cream and a pastry bag to write or garnish;

And that's it. Go for it!

Have good adventures, and don't forget to comment and give suggestions ;)
