Cake Basket with Flowers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. Step 2:

   

   Separate the yolks from the whites. For convenience, we will leave the yolks in the halves of the shell.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the whites until thick and, continuing to beat, add sugar in portions.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then also add the yolk and whisk.

5. Step 5:

   

   After a little more whisk until a fluffy white mass.

6. Step 6:

   

   Next, mix flour, baking powder and starch. Mix everything and sift through a sieve 3 times to saturate the mixture with oxygen.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add the crushed lemon zest to the beaten eggs. Add flour in portions.

8. Step 8:

   

   Knead the dough with a spatula from the bottom up.

9. Step 9:

   

   The dough should be fluffy and homogeneous.

10. Step 10:

    

    Pour the dough onto the parchment-lined form.

11. Step 11:

    

    Level the dough and put it to bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for 40 minutes.

12. Step 12:

    

    Let the finished biscuit cool down.

13. Step 13:

    

    As soon as it cools down, cut off the top. Knead and leave for further use.

14. Step 14:

    

    Cut the biscuit lengthwise into three cakes.

15. Step 15:

    

    Prepare the syrup - pour the sugar with water, stir and boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool down to room temperature and add the flavor.

16. Step 16:

    

    Cut the marmalade and kiwi into small cubes.

17. Step 17:

    

    Add water to the gelatin so that it swells.

18. Step 18:

    

    Whisk cream with powdered sugar until thick.

19. Step 19:

    

    Add hot boiled milk to the swollen gelatin with water and mix everything until the gelatin dissolves.

20. Step 20:

    

    Grind cottage cheese with powdered sugar.

21. Step 21:

    

    Add whipped cream to the cottage cheese and mix well. In this mixture, add milk with gelatin through a strainer.

22. Step 22:

    

    Mix the cream well until smooth. By the time the cake is assembled, it remains only to cut the bananas into the same cubes as kiwi and marmalade.

23. Step 23:

    

    To assemble, we take the form in which the biscuit was baked, put the bottom cake in it. We impregnate it well with syrup.

25. Step 24:

    

    Put a layer of cream on top, and then a layer of fruit and marmalade in the cream.

26. Step 25:

    

    We will also cover the top with cream.

27. Step 26:

    

    The next layer of cake, cream and fruit is collected in the same way.

28. Step 27:

    

    Soak the syrup and put the last cake on top, smear it with cream.

29. Step 28:

    

    Mash the top of the biscuit well and mix it with the remnants of the cream. From this mixture we spread a slide on top of the cake. Now you need to put the cake in the refrigerator to solidify. Meanwhile, we are preparing a protein custard.

30. Step 29:

    

    The cake is frozen, the cream is ready. We start the decor with a basket. Brown cream, using the nozzle &039;asterisk &039;, apply a vertical line on the side of the cake along the entire height. Over the line, apply three horizontal lines at a distance from each other in the thickness of the line, i.e. through one.

31. Step 30:

    

    Then there is also a vertical line next to it, and on top of it two horizontal lines in the intervals between the three previous horizontal lines.

32. Step 31:

    

    This is how we decorate the cake on the side in the form of a basket.

33. Step 32:

    

    On top of the edge, we apply an ornate line in a circular motion with the same brown cream and nozzle.

34. Step 33:

    

    The basket is ready. We prepare multicolored creams for flowers, kitchen scissors, a confectionary carnation to create flowers. Instead of a carnation, you can use, for example, a pen.

35. Step 34:

    

    We make the first big rose from the cream and use scissors to put it in the center of the cake.

36. Step 35:

    

    Roses are made very simply. For example, if you use a pen, then it is necessary, using the nozzle &039;petal &039;, in a cascade circle, first on the handle, then on each other, apply the petals with cream.

37. Step 36:

    

    This is how it looks in the process.

38. Step 37:

    

    Transfer the rose of the desired size to the scissors, gently turning the handle.

39. Step 38:

    

    And place the rose on the cake with scissors.

40. Step 39:

    

    We make and place the required number of roses of the same color. Then we proceed with other colors. For example, white-orange. To do this, we will put white and orange creams in a pastry bag on different sides and squeeze the package until the necessary color goes.

41. Step 40:

    

    And if you use a special confectionery carnation, then to prepare roses with it, you must first apply a base for a flower made of white cream on it and then apply flower petals in a cascade around this base, as well as around the handle.

42. Step 41:

    

    We make flowers of the desired size. We also remove them with scissors.

43. Step 42:

    

    And we also use scissors to transfer the flower to the cake.

44. Step 43:

    

    Decorate with flowers all the free space on top of the cake.

45. Step 44:

    

    Green cream, using the nozzle &039;leaf &039;, apply the leaves.

46. Step 45:

    

    Decorate the roses with pastry beads. At the end of the decor, we send the cake to the refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak before serving and freeze a little.

47. Step 46:

    

    A delicious fruit cake is decorated, soaked in cream, has become tender. And I am ready to please our loved ones with my tenderness. We serve to the table and enjoy the holiday!
