   Making a biscuit. Melt the butter and let it cool. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Whisk the whites. Add sugar and beat even before the peaks.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add the yolks to the whites one by one, without ceasing to beat.Sift starch, flour and baking powder. And we interfere in 3 stages. Then pour the oil along the edge and mix well.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the dough into a form covered with paper, I smeared the edges with oil and covered it too. The shape is 24cm. Put in the preheated oven for 35 minutes at 180gr.

4. Step 4:

   

   Here is such a biscuit turns out. Let cool for 5 minutes and remove the mold and paper. Turn it over and let it cool completely.Then he needs to stand for 5 hours. I put it in the fridge overnight. Wrapped in foil.

5. Step 5:

   

   Make meringue or meringue. We will prepare the products. The squirrels are cold. The bowl of the mixer should be perfectly clean, fat-free.

6. Step 6:

   

   Start whipping the whites. When you get a lush foam, add sugar in parts and whisk at the highest speed until stable peaks.The mass should become dense and shiny.

7. Step 7:

   

   We put the cream in the culinary bags. I took 2 nozzles.

8. Step 8:

   

   And squeeze out the meringues. Put in the preheated oven to 100g. for 1.5 hours.

9. Step 9:

   

   The finished ones should be easy to fall behind the paper, and be a light cream color.Let them cool down. If desired , you could add a dye . We do this when the proteins are already whipped. A few drops of gel or dry dye.

10. Step 10:

    

    For custard, take cold milk. Add yolks, starch, sugar. Mix everything well. Add vanilla sugar.

11. Step 11:

    

    Put on fire. Cook stirring until thickened.

12. Step 12:

    

    Remove from the heat and immediately put the oil. Mix everything well. Cover with a film in contact and let it cool down. I put it in a deep cup with ice water.

13. Step 13:

    

    When we have everything ready. We cut the biscuit. We cut off the top, it will be useful to us. I cut the cake with a thread. I make notches along the entire circumference, thread it and then stretch it by two ends, crossing it. Here is a biscuit that does not require impregnation.

14. Step 14:

    

    We put one cake on the substrate. Spread the cream in a thin layer. We put meringues on top. Some I broke, or cut. But if you want the meringues to crunch, it's better to put them whole.

15. Step 15:

    

    Then I put the cream back in the bag and squeezed it out at the edges and in the middle.

16. Step 16:

    

    I also did it with another cake. Cover with the 3rd cake. Lightly press down from above.

18. Step 17:

    

    Cover with a film, you can also cover with a ring. And we put it in the refrigerator for the night.On top I put a flat dish and a light load.

19. Step 18:

    

    The next day we decorate the cake. I have a protein custard. I have already described how to do it. We cook the syrup with sugar and water, while whipping the proteins with vanilla sugar. We cook the syrup up to 122gr.At the end, add citric acid, mix well, cook for 1 minute. Pour a thin trickle of syrup into the proteins. The whites should be well whipped . And whisk with syrup for another 5 minutes. We coat the cake with warm cream.

20. Step 19:

    

    We spread a large amount of cream on the cake. And we remove it first from above with a flight. At the same time, we dip the flight into hot water. Then he makes the sides.The sides are leveled with a spatula. We put it flat and twist it around our cake.

21. Step 20:

    

    Well, and then we go through the top again. We remove the excess. All this must be done quickly. Otherwise, the cream will then begin to reach for the spatula.

22. Step 21:

    

    Now we need to make such a "pillow" on top.We make it from scraps of biscuit. Sometimes I make it out of cookies. We need this for the flowers to make the cake look voluminous. We cover it with cream. That's it, the cake is ready for decoration. Now we choose the colors that we will decorate. It is best to have 3 colors. If you do not know how to choose colors yourself, then there are tables where color combinations are shown.

23. Step 22:

    

    We type cream into cups, and color it. I have gel dye.

24. Step 23:

    

    For pale pink, I made a paint, using a brush, such a strip in a bag. This will emphasize the color of the rose.

25. Step 24:

    

    Red color is mixed with yellow, too, in the same way.

26. Step 25:

    

    So we make a rose, squeeze out of the white cream such a cap.

27. Step 26:

    

    We make one curl with red cream.

28. Step 27:

    

    Then 3 more of the same around the first one.

29. Step 28:

    

    And then around the circle 5 leaves and 7 . It turns out such a rose.

30. Step 29:

    

    We also make roses from another cream. And we plant them on the cake. And decorate with green leaves.

31. Step 30:

    

    That's how I got it.

32. Step 31:

    

    And such a cut. Very tasty!
