Repeat the procedure for both numbers. You can put slices of strawberries or other not very juicy fruits directly on the cream.

1. Now you need to level the surface of the product with buttercream. To do this, place it in a pastry bag without a nozzle, spread a thin layer over the entire surface of the product, level with a spatula, knife.
2. The prepared birthday cake needs to be decorated. We collect snow-white buttercream in a pastry bag, put on a medium-sized star nozzle. Now you need to cover the side surfaces with vertical lines, trying not to leave gaps between them. Before making the product in the form of the number "0" (as well as 8, 9, where there are internal ovals), it is necessary to attach the inner part of the stencil strictly in the center, outline the contours with a toothpick, and then decorate this contour with pink cream.

1. When making the picture, we use pink cream and a medium-sized shell nozzle. You need to make an inner zero on an oval cake, sides along the edges of the surface of the cake and at the base of the product.

1. In order to hide the bottom of the cake, where the mastic ends, make a beautiful two-color tourniquet. For it, you will need to roll 2 strips of white and brown mastic of the same thickness, which then need to be twisted crosswise. Lay this strip along the entire cake on a dish.
2. The final decoration of the birthday cake - put roses in one half of the heart, and put chocolate leaves at their base. So that the flowers do not fall off, grease the lower part with syrup or drip with melted chocolate.

It is unlikely that anyone will dispute the popularity of Napoleon. This puff pastry dessert has many interpretations.

The cakes themselves are prepared using various products and technologies. Yes, and as a cream, custard, sour cream, oil impregnations are used.

In addition, there are snack options when the cakes are layered not with cream, but with a filling made from meat or fish, vegetables or cheese.

It is difficult to single out the classic version of Napoleon, but let's try to make a cake according to a well-known simplified recipe.

• flour - 4 cups;
• butter or margarine - 400 gr.;
• egg yolks - 2 pcs.;
• vinegar - 1 tbsp;
• salt and ice water.

• flour - 1 tbsp;
• eggs - 2 pcs.;
• sugar - 2 cups;
• butter - 250 gr.;
• milk - 800 gr.

We start cooking Napoleon with the preparation of cakes. Sift all the flour through a sieve so that it is saturated with air. Add grated butter to flour.

To make the butter easy to grate, chill it in the freezer.

Quickly grind the mixture of flour and butter with your hands to get a homogeneous mass. In a glass or cup with a volume of 250 ml, separate two yolks, add salt and vinegar and mix well. Pour ice water into the same container to the top and immediately pour the resulting mixture into the flour mixed with butter.

Knead the dough with your hands, divide into 9 parts, from which we form separate lumps. We spread them on a plate and send them to the cold for about an hour.

At this time, we begin to prepare the cream. Mix sugar, flour and eggs in a small saucepan. Pour the mixture with milk and begin to warm over a medium flame.

Do not forget to stir the cream so that lumps do not turn out and the cream does not burn. Bring the custard to a boil, remove from heat and leave to cool. To the cooled mass, add softened butter and beat well with a blender.

We roll out thin cakes from the chilled dough and bake each on a dry baking sheet. Before sending the cake to an oven preheated to 180 degrees, it must be chopped in several places. Bake each cake until browned. We bake the ninth cake a little longer to get a brown crumb, which will be used for sprinkling.

Baking time will depend on your oven, but usually 10-15 minutes is enough for one cake.

Lubricate the finished cakes with cream, pressing each of them with your hands. Decorate with crumbs on top and leave the birthday cake for several hours to soak.

The famous Napoleon is ready - you can invite guests and enjoy a delicious dessert.

To prepare the cream you need:

• sugar - 1.5 cups;
• flour - 4 tablespoons;
• milk - 3.5 cups;
• butter - 150 gr.;
• vanilla sugar;
• lemon peel.

We start by preparing the dough. It is better to make curd dough in the evening, because it needs to stand for at least 8 hours.

Mix the grated cottage cheese with the egg and sugar in a bowl. Add slaked soda and leave the mixture for 20 minutes. During this time, the curd blank will be saturated with air and increase slightly in volume.

Now add the sifted flour and knead the dough. It will stick to your hands, but this is not a reason to add extra flour. We cover the dough with a film and send it to the cold, where it will spend the next 8 hours.

If you need to cook the cottage cheese urgently, let the dough rest, at least a couple of hours in the cold. Taking out the chilled dough, we form 6 identical balls from it.

This must be done quickly so that the dough does not heat up from the heat of the hands and the surrounding air.

Before baking, the curd balls should be in the cold. Therefore, he takes them out in turn and rolls them into a layer. Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour and transfer a thin layer of dough onto it. Remember to prick the dough in several places before baking.

Immediately send the baking sheet to the oven. The cakes bake very quickly. At 180 degrees, literally five minutes is enough for the cake to brown.

We will make custard cream. To do this, add sugar to the milk and bring it to a boil. At this time, mix the eggs with flour. As soon as the milk boils, carefully introduce the egg-milk mixture into it. The cream must be constantly stirred. We warm it up until the density reaches the consistency of thick sour cream.

Set aside the custard mixture to cool to room temperature. Now you can add oil. For flavor, add vanilla and lemon zest to the cream. To make the cream more fluffy, beat it with a mixer.

We layer the curd cakes with custard. If desired, crushed nuts or pieces of dried fruit can be placed between the cakes.

How to make an original, but uncomplicated DIY birthday cake: Cooking a Cheesecake

If you look into history, the first desserts made from cream cheese and shortbread dough are found in ancient Rome. To us, this curd miracle came from America, and became a frequent guest on the everyday or festive table.

Ideally, the cheesecake is made with Savoyardi cookies and Philadelphia cream cheese. But today we will try to make a simpler version of the dessert from the available products.

For cooking you will need:

• anniversary cookies - 300 gr.;
• butter - 100 gr.;
• eggs - 1 pc.

To prepare the filling you need:

• cream cheese - 450 gr.;
• sugar - 1 glass;
• eggs - 5 pcs.;
• fat sour cream - 1 cup;
• vanilla sugar.

First, we make the base of the dessert. To do this, grind the cookies and mix it with soft butter and an egg. With the resulting mass, we close the bottom and sides of the form in which we will bake the dessert. To set the sand mass, put the form in the cold.

In the meantime, prepare the filling. We begin to mix the cheese, gradually adding sugar to it. Without ceasing to interfere with the filling, we introduce into it one egg at a time. At the very end, add sour cream.

The cheesecake filling is not whipped, but gently mixed.

We take out the base of the dessert from the refrigerator and pour out the entire filling. The cheesecake is baked at a low temperature. We stand it for about 40 minutes at 165 degrees. We do not take the cake out of the oven. After turning off the oven, soak the dessert in it for about an hour.

Now you can take out the cheesecake. The last important touch remains.

The cheesecake will spend the next 4 hours in the cold, and only after that you can safely set the table, looking forward to enjoying the taste.

Beautiful cake for the holiday with your own hands: Bird's milk

This dessert is difficult to attribute to simple confectionery. Its appearance and taste characteristics will not leave indifferent any guest.

If you are afraid to experiment with complex recipes, try making a lighter version of the Bird's Milk cake.

To prepare the dough you will need:

• flour - three quarters of a glass;
• sugar - half a glass;
• butter - 100 gr.;
• yolks - 3 pcs.;
• soda.

Soufflé will be prepared from:

• a glass of milk;
• 3 proteins;
• 1 st. l. gelatin;
• citric acid.

To prepare the glaze you need:

• sugar - 3 tablespoons;
• sour cream - 2 tablespoons;
• cocoa - 2 tbsp.

This original cake is prepared in three stages, each of which requires attention from the hostess.

Let's start with the base of the cake. To do this, first you need to beat the yolks with butter. Add all the sugar and a little slaked soda to the whipped mass. Without ceasing to knead the dough, add a little flour.

We will bake the cake base on baking paper, which needs to be covered with a baking sheet. We stand the cake in a hot oven until a golden crust appears.

Soufflé for the cake will be made on the basis of gelatin. Therefore, gelatin will have to be filled with water in advance so that it swells. We put a container with swollen gelatin in a water bath and heat it until completely dissolved.

Do not boil gelatin - it will lose its qualities.

Separate the proteins and place them in a clean, dry container. Make sure that moisture or fat does not get to the proteins - otherwise they will not whip.

You can put a little citric acid - this will help beat the whites faster and give the souffle a pleasant sourness.

Without ceasing to beat the proteins, we introduce sugar in portions.

When you get a thick protein foam, you can begin to introduce gelatin.

Only the gelatin mixture must be chilled or the proteins will curl.

Now we make the frosting. We combine sugar with cocoa and add sour cream, vanillin.

After mixing all the ingredients, we send the workpiece to the fire.

Warming up a little, not forgetting to stir, put in a container and butter.

The icing is ready when the mixture begins to boil.

When all the components of the cake are ready, you can begin to assemble the masterpiece. We spread the whole soufflé on a cold base, evenly distributing it over the surface, and send it to the cold to solidify.

If desired, this process can be divided into two stages, dividing the soufflé into uniform parts.

Bird's milk usually hardens for about a couple of hours. We take out the frozen cake and pour the chilled chocolate icing on top. Such a beautiful cake does not require additional decorations.

He himself will decorate any feast and surprise guests with an unusual light taste.

Experiment and choose your original cake recipe for the holiday - and you will definitely find the masterpiece that will become the hallmark of your holiday table.
