Cookie cake
In the first case, when close people become tasters, you can recreate the picture, even without an oven. Take:
- 800 g of cookies or vanilla crackers;
- 1 can of condensed milk;
- 100 g of walnuts;
- 100 g of butter.
Grind cookies, nuts, passing it all through a meat grinder. Add softened butter, condensed milk and mix thoroughly first with a spoon, then with your hand.
Put the mass in a bowl, cover with cling film, put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. After this time, take out the finished dough and start sculpting. Let the sweet city sit on a round tray.
Blind 2-3 rectangles, place them on the smaller side. These are blanks for houses. Prepare the cream by whisking 200 g butter with 60 g icing sugar. It will help attach the details. Take 2 square cookies and fold them over to form a roof. Attach to each other and to the rectangles with cream.
Put some cream into a fine-tipped pastry syringe. Squeeze it onto the wall of the sweet home, shaping it into a window shape. It can be all filled with cream or just a border.
Place a couple of trees. Place some sweet dough on a tray. Attach the Twix stick to it vertically using the cream. Take 2 white gummies and put them in the microwave for 2 minutes. Cool, blind the oval. Attach the Twix to the top of the sticks. This is the crown of a winter tree. If you want to recreate a summer painting, then add a drop of green dye.
Waffle city
Ready-made wafer cakes will also help to prepare a cake in the shape of a city. Draw and cut out 2 wall stencils on cardboard. One is slightly smaller than the other. In the larger one, the upper side bifurcates, forming an angle. This is where the roof bend will be located. Use a sharp knife to cut 4 pieces from the waffles using stencils.
Fasten them with cream. Cut out 2 more rectangles. This is the roof, attach it to the top of the building. Add 3 tablespoons of instant cocoa to the cream prepared according to the recipe above. Make this cream in the syringe edging the windows.
Cut out the remaining waffles into small triangles. Arrange them with the tip up in a flower bed. Place fresh berries inside. These are the flowers in the city park.
You can put the waffle pieces on the cookie dough, which you first shape into a thick cake. You can attach them to the biscuit dough base. For it, separate 7 yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks with a glass of sugar, add 1, 5 glasses of flour. Whisk the cooled egg whites into a strong foam with a pinch of salt. Mix them gently into the dough. Put in a round shape, bake in an oven preheated to 180 ° C until the top is well browned (40-50 minutes). Then take out the cake, cut it into 3 pieces horizontally, cool them, layer with cream. Use the waffles on the surface of the biscuit to recreate the edible city.
