Sweet Pillow Cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Take the cakes. This is at your discretion and taste, I have a Napoleon honey cake, the recipe is in my cookbook. I get 10-12 cakes from one serving.

2. Step 2:

   

   If someone still does not buy but does, then here is an option how to make square cakes. Just attach a tarette and draw straight lines, you will get a square.

3. Step 3:

   

   I took the standard cream sour cream + sugar (for those who are sweet, you can have less sugar)+ oil. Beat sour cream and sugar with a mixer, add soft butter, beat and mix, but not for long, just for uniformity. You can leave it for a while to dissolve the sugar, but not necessarily. Smear our cakes, put them in the refrigerator for at least an hour for impregnation.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then the photos are already evening, so it happened. The cakes were soaked, became soft. We cut out our pillow and put the pieces on top.

5. Step 5:

   

   Align the knife over the entire surface so that it looks like a pillow.

6. Step 6:

   

   That's how convex I got it.

8. Step 7:

   

   Since our cream is sour cream, which mastic does not like very much, then you need to make a cream for mastic and cover our cake with it. There are many options, I have one. I took chocolate, heated it in a water bath, added condensed milk and butter, covered the cake. In order for the cake to turn out as smooth as possible, you need to put it in the refrigerator, after 10-15 minutes. get it and trim it with a knife and you can do this several times.

9. Step 8:

   

   We take the mastic, roll out and cover the cake, smooth it out, cut off the excess, turn the edges inside.

10. Step 9:

    

    To make the pad more realistic, you will need such a tool.

11. Step 10:

    

    We walk along the top, drawing lines, that's what I got. I have homemade marshmallow mastic, so it springs and the lines are not always clear.

12. Step 11:

    

    Next, the pillow can be decorated for every taste. I have such a mold, I wanted to try it out.

13. Step 12:

    

    Could have been done in a different color, but I no longer had time for experiments, my parents were "on the threshold")), I had to finish quickly. There was still a piece of purchased mastic (figures are made from it smartly) and a mold of the baby. Not exactly what I wanted, but it is, a homemade cake, I hope you will be able to develop the topic better))
