How to make a decorated birthday cake for our children
We start preparing the cake. We separate the yolks on the one hand and clear on the other. We set the egg whites until stiff and reserve them. We mount the yolks with the sugar and the lemon zest until they increase in volume. Add the sifted flour and finally, giving enveloping movements, the whites mounted. Divide the dough into three parts and bake in a round pan at 190º for 15 minutes.
To assemble the cake, we place a sponge cake and lightly moisten it with syrup to make it more juicy. Then what spread with chocolate cream extending it well. Cover with the second disc of sponge cake, also moistened with syrup. This we cover you with caramel.
We finished with the third cake disc and began the decoration. For this work, I recommend looking for simple drawings, with few details. The easiest are Pocoyo, Hello Kitty, SpongeBob and that kind of cartoon characters.
With a roller, we extend the white fondant dough and with it we covered the cake. With a knife we cut the excesses, and start with the characters. To organize the best thing is that you print them on paper and cut them out, thus making an idea of how to distribute them in the cake. Then, little by little, we decorate the cake as if we used modeling clay.
Once finished, we store the birthday cake in the fridge, ready for the most exciting moment. In my case I used a Hello Kitty doll face and a blue Pocoyo in the same cake. It was fun to give children a choice and see how boys and girls they asked for their portion of one or another character.
