A delicious and beautiful birthday cake can be safely considered the key to a good feast. Despite the large assortment of confectionery products on store shelves, many housewives prefer to create sweet masterpieces with their own hands. And for good reason - there is nothing better for the holiday table than a delicious, homemade cake made from cream or mastic, which is created with love with your own hands.

But you can decorate the product in different ways. Depending on the occasion, a complex two-tier or simple small cake is created, the decoration is selected depending on whether the product is intended for a child or an adult. For girls, bright colors, lots of decorations, bows and mastic frills will be preferable, while boys prefer more modest decoration: car themes, characters from computer games and favorite cartoons. For adults, you can choose a recipe in accordance with your hobby or profession. Festive cakes are not that difficult to prepare, so it’s never too late to make them yourself at home, honing your skills year after year

On an anniversary - a round anniversary - it is customary to give a large cake. You can decorate such a confectionery product in the form of a simple number that corresponds to the age of the birthday person (for example, 1 year or 30 years, like ours). This delicious cream cake is easy to prepare, and if you have already learned how to work with a pastry bag and cream, then this recipe is for you.

For this dish you will need:

• a stencil number that can be printed and cut along the contour;
• two rectangular sponge cakes;
• butter cream for layering cakes;
• butter cream;
• butter cream for flowers;
• food colors – pink and green;
• two cake mats;
• pastry bag and nozzles;
• long knife.

Preparing this product takes a little time; decorating the finished cake with cream takes 15 minutes. To serve a truly delicious birthday cake, strictly follow this recipe:

1. Bake two rectangular cakes of the same height, the size of which will correspond to your stencils. If one cake ends up higher than the other, trim off the excess with a knife.
2. Place two or one numbers on top of the cakes, depending on how old the birthday person is, cut along the contour, divide into 2-3 cakes and layer the inside with butter cream. Repeat the procedure with both numbers. You can place pieces of strawberries or other not very juicy fruits directly on the cream.

1. Now you need to level the surface of the product with butter cream. To do this, place it in a pastry bag without a nozzle, spread it in a thin layer over the entire surface of the product, and level it using a spatula or knife.
2. The prepared birthday cake needs to be decorated. We put snow-white buttercream into a pastry bag and put on a medium-sized star tip. Now you need to cover the side surfaces with vertical lines, trying not to leave gaps between them. Before designing the product in the form of the number “0” (as well as 8, 9, where there are internal ovals), you need to place 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 creating a picture, we use pink cream and a medium-sized shell attachment. You need to make an inner zero on the oval cake, sides along the edges of the surface of the cake and at the base of the product.
2. Now you will need buttercream to create a flowering meadow on your cake. Children especially like these oil flowers; they are completely edible and look beautiful. Place the pink buttercream in a pastry bag with a flat tip, make several dots on a special clove and place them on the flour numbers.
3. Color the remaining buttercream green and pipe a few sharp leaves directly onto the cake.

This cake is ideal for girls, girls and women, and indeed for all children's parties. It is quite simple to create; absolutely any cream and cakes can be used here, and it is not difficult to prepare even at home.

Bright cake for children

Rainbow cake is the optimal confectionery product for a child’s birthday. It is bright, juicy, easy to create and suitable for children of all ages. In essence, such a cake is a sponge cake, the cake layers of which are colored with dyes. You can cover it with mastic or use any cream for these purposes. Using our recipe, start creating a rainbow cake:

1. For this product you will need 6 food gel colors (their assortment in stores is now huge). It is necessary to take high-quality dyes, do not skimp on them, so that the color turns out intense. Each dye is diluted in a separate container in a small amount of milk (about 2-3 tablespoons).
2. Now, instead of kneading any biscuit, you can use the simplest recipe based on eggs, sugar and flour. It is advisable to add baking powder and vanillin to make a delicious cake.

1. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and mix diluted dye into each part. Bake round flour cakes of the same size.
2. You can layer the cakes with classic butter cream, or you can use a more child-friendly cream based on cream and cream cheese. Cover the cooled cake layers with an even layer of cream and assemble the cake, taking into account the sequence of colors in the rainbow.

1. The sides and top of the cake must be carefully rubbed with snow-white cream.
2. To decorate such a confectionery masterpiece for a birthday, you can use ready-made multi-colored sprinkles, birthday candles for the cake, or crumbs made from dough scraps. In addition, such a cake, even at home, can be covered with mastic or marzipan.

Birthday Cake

Classic chocolate strawberry cake with snow-white cream is a delicious recipe for your birthday table. Despite the large assortment of similar cakes in the store, homemade birthday cakes based on chocolate or cocoa powder do not lose popularity from year to year. This confectionery product can be served for children and adults who love the rich chocolate taste.

You will need the following set of products for the cakes:

• 200 gr. Sahara;
• 1 cup flour;
• 0.5 glasses of milk;
• 60 gr. cocoa powder;
• 0.5 teaspoon salt;
• 125 ml water;
• a packet of baking powder;
• 1 egg;
• 60 ml refined vegetable oil.

First, prepare the flour cake layers:

1. In a separate container, mix a portion of milk according to the recipe, 1 yolk, vegetable oil.
2. Separately, combine flour, cocoa powder and baking powder so that there are no lumps. Pour the milk-butter mixture into this dry part.
3. Separately, beat one egg white until fluffy and manually fold it into the chocolate mass.
4. Pour the dough into an oiled springform pan and place in the oven for 40 minutes, preheated to 180 degrees.

Cool the finished chocolate cake on a wire rack and prepare the cream: beat a glass of very heavy cream with a small amount of vanilla, while whipping add one heaped tablespoon of powdered sugar. Cover the cakes evenly with this cream - there should be 4 of them.

We will line the sides of the dish with cream made from condensed milk and butter. To prepare it, you will need 200 milliliters of condensed milk, 200 grams of butter, these components must be whipped until smooth. Gently rub the resulting cream onto the side of the dish and the top.

To decorate, melt 60 grams of dark chocolate and 60 milliliters of heavy cream, mix the mixture until smooth, pour the glaze over the surface of the cake so that beautiful smudges form. To do this, you can use a pastry bag with a nozzle; leave the central part of the surface of the cake unfilled. Place large fresh strawberries there.

A delicious birthday cake is ready, its recipe is quite simple, so it won’t be difficult for you to prepare it yourself for children’s or adult parties.

Options for decorating a cake for a holiday

A birthday party for children and adults is not complete without a beautifully decorated main dish - cake. Children's cakes are decorated brightly, using the best products, edible pictures and mastic cartoon characters. In addition, the range of ready-made decorations for such cakes is now quite rich. For older children and adults, you can use simpler decorations - cream or chocolate flowers, sprinkles, marzipan figures, ready-made sweets and fruits.

We must not forget about mysticism - its popularity is growing from year to year. Children love funny figures made from this material; adult dishes can be decorated with stylish and sophisticated decorations based on it.

Recipes for decorating a cake in the shape of a chocolate heart with flowers for birthdays and other holidays:

1. Bake a heart-shaped sponge or sour cream cake. To make the dish even more beautiful, we recommend preparing two parts of the dough - white and chocolate, and then laying out its shape according to the Zebra cake principle.
2. Place the finished cake on the table, cut into 2 parts and layer with cream based on condensed milk and butter.
3. Cover the surface with decorgel, jam or syrup, then roll out a layer of white mastic or marzipan, carefully cover the cake, releasing all the air. Today, stores offer an assortment of ready-made mastic, but you can make the sculpting mixture yourself.
4. If you use mastic to decorate your dish, you will need to color it with brown gel coloring. You can pour melted chocolate into the marzipan. The assortment also includes ready-made chocolate in bags for adding to the modeling mixture.

1. To hide the bottom of the cake where the fondant ends, make a beautiful two-color strand. For it, you will need to roll out 2 strips of equal thickness from white and brown mastic, which you then need to twist crosswise. Place this strip along the entire cake on a plate.
2. The final design for the birthday cake is to place roses in one half of the heart and place chocolate leaves at the base. To prevent the flowers from falling off, grease the bottom part with syrup or drip with melted chocolate.

The assortment of chocolate decorations is quite large - children love a variety of hearts, stars, zigzags, a 1-year-old child can make a decoration in the form of one, and adults prefer exquisite flowers.

On his birthday, the birthday person wants not only gifts, but also a beautifully and deliciously decorated table, the center of which should be a luxurious cake. Well, not so much that it’s a masterpiece, but it’s beautiful, tasty and unusual. To immediately feel the birthday, and to take a photo, and to keep it as a memory. Birthday cakes are made to order and sold in stores, but a homemade sweet miracle, without dangerous additives, will be much tastier and more soulful.

In fact, even if you have never baked cakes yourself, it is not difficult at all. Of course, a beginner may not be able to create some kind of complex structure with all sorts of mastic elements and figurines of heroes. But it’s quite possible to make a simple, beautifully decorated cake with a personalized inscription. To do this, look at recipes for birthday cakes, get inspired, and delight your loved ones with homemade masterpieces.

Cakes for a man's birthday can be different in form and content. The main thing is to please the man’s hobby or favorite preferences. For example, you can make a cake in the shape of a mug of beer, decorating it with lush foam and an appropriate inscription. For this, an ordinary sponge cake, butter cream, a little melted chocolate will do - and a wonderful cake is ready, a man who likes to knock back a mug of foamy drink with friends will definitely be delighted with it.

A separate topic: cool cakes for your husband’s birthday - you can look at the photo and choose what would be so interesting to surprise your husband, make him laugh, and lift the birthday boy’s spirits. For example, it would be funny to have a cake in the shape of a head of cabbage, in which lies a tiny person and the inscription - in this cabbage you were ours 20 (30) years ago. Or this option, if the husband is an avid fisherman: decorate the cake in the form of greenery with fondant, lay a tent on top, and next to it, using a pastry syringe, build a fishing rod and a bucket for the catch.

If your child is planning a birthday party, look at the birthday cakes for girls with photos. With a little imagination, you can create such beauty yourself at home. After all, what a child needs is something tasty, bright and colorful. The child does not need complex structures that are scary to touch, lest they fall apart. Girls will love cakes in the shape of a basket of flowers, a sweet duckling, or a cartoon character. It’s not easy to make such a cake, but you can even try hard for a child. See recipes with photos, our ideas will help you.

To prepare a delicious birthday cake with your own hands, you need to take a closer look at the recipes, choose the one you can afford, buy the ingredients, and then get started. Of course, a cake is a troublesome task, but there’s already a lot of cooking to do. Therefore, it is better to bake it in advance the day before and hide it in the refrigerator. Then it won’t turn out that after preparing the rest of the dishes it didn’t come to dessert.

Learn how to make your own birthday cake!

Fortunately for mothers, a child’s birthday comes once a year, but you need to prepare properly for this event! Think through everything down to the smallest detail. Starting from . And especially the main detail of the holiday, without which there simply is no birthday. It's a cake! It must be there.

Of course it must be tasty. But for a child it is important that the cake is BIG! When talking about the holiday the next day, the child will certainly talk about the cake. But if the cake was simply delicious ─ of course, good. But not impressive. And if the cake wasoooooooooooooocool!

How to make a cake like this with your own hands? Every mother decides for herself. Depending on your capabilities and skills.

We'll give you some tips on how to make a baby cake with your own hands.

Option one. It is suitable if you have a large dish or a large tray. Then you increase the width of the cake. Here the round option is not suitable, we settle on a square or rectangular one, depending on the available shapes.

If you have a sponge cake, then double the number of cakes baked (three times, and so on, depending on the size of what the cake will lie on and the number of guests).

We lay out the cakes very tightly to each other, spread them and decorate.

One moment: it is necessary to take into account the design feature when cutting and direct the knife in the child’s hand to the right place.

Second option simpler, but also very interesting: we enlarge the cake in an upward direction. The technology is the same. Instead of two or three cakes, we bake five or six. In this case, you can use a round shape, it is even preferable.

DIY children's cakes popular recipes:

A child's birthday cake must have fruits, nuts, and chocolate. Cakes can be baked or made without baking.

Let's start with a homemade sponge cake for a child!

There is no sugar in this cake.

Sponge cake with fruits

We calculate the products for two biscuits. If you bake a larger cake, the amount of ingredients will increase.

We will need:

200 grams of flour

100 grams of starch

2 grams citric acid

2 grams vanillin

If you wish, you can add raisins, pieces of dried apricots, and prunes directly to the biscuits.

We tie on an apron and start preparing biscuits.

First, break the eggs into a bowl and begin to beat them, slowly adding sugar and citric acid. Take a larger bowl. The mass should double. And keep in mind, it will not be very thick, as happens if you beat only egg whites.

• Now you need to mix the starch with flour and slowly, stirring constantly, pour it into the beaten eggs.
• Here you can add dried fruits (don’t forget to finely chop the dried apricots and prunes before doing this), mix everything thoroughly again.
• Preheat the oven to approximately 200 degrees.
• Grease the mold with vegetable oil and carefully pour out about half of the resulting mass.
• Place in the oven and increase the temperature to 250 degrees.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, making sure that the cake is baked evenly; to do this, swap the baking sheet with the mold. You can check readiness with a wooden spatula.
• Carefully remove the cake from the mold and begin baking the second one in the same way.

Please note that the cakes rise during baking, almost doubling in size.

We soak the first biscuit while it is hot. For impregnation, you can dilute any jam in a small amount of water. Don't be afraid if you have some jam berries left on the sponge cake. You need to thoroughly soak the second sponge cake after removing it from the oven.

Since we are preparing without using sugar, and it is a children’s birthday, you can grease the first bottom cake with condensed milk after it has cooled. And then we connect both cake layers.

Let's start preparing the cream.

For this we need thick yogurt. You can take any.

• Mix yogurt with a teaspoon of gelatin, add 3-4 tablespoons of syrup or jam.
• Spread the cake with cream and put it in the refrigerator.

It is better to prepare the cake itself on the eve of the holiday and leave it in the refrigerator to soak. But It’s best to decorate with fruit in the morning. This will keep the fruit fresh. You can take any fruit and arrange them as you wish. But on a birthday cake it is better to place them around the edges, in a circle, leaving room for candles without fruit. Use orange slices, kiwi pieces, juicy pears, bananas. And don't forget about! A beautiful cake, should stand on a beautiful table!

You can make a cake without flour. For example, using plain oatmeal. By the way, there is no sugar either.

Oatmeal fruit cake! Another version of a homemade birthday cake for a child.

We will need:

Walnuts 100 gr

Raisins 200 gr

Prunes 100 gr

Dried apricots 100 gr

Oat flakes 500 gr

Sour cream 400 gr

Baking powder 1 teaspoon

Orange 1 piece

Banana 1 piece

• Let's start by chopping nuts, dried fruits and oatmeal.
• Add sour cream and baking powder and mix thoroughly.
• Then beat the eggs and add to the mixture. Let's mix.
• Let's divide the mass into two parts.
• In the first place we put orange slices, cut into four parts crosswise.
• Pour the mixture into a mold greased with vegetable oil.
• Then add bananas, whipped into a homogeneous mass, into the remaining mixture and pour on top of the first portion.
• Place everything in a preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes at 200 degrees.

The cake can be made without baking.

Coconut cake

We will need

pulp of two coconuts,

2 cups dates,

6 tablespoons cocoa.

Let's start cooking.

• First we clean the coconut.
• Pour one and a half glasses of water into a bowl, add the contents of the coconut and beat until smooth.
• Place the mixture in cheesecloth and squeeze.
• Place the resulting thick mass from gauze into a bowl.
• Now beat the bananas into a homogeneous mass and combine with coconut.
• Add cocoa and chopped dates. Mix well. Put it in the form.

Preparing the cream:

Banana 1 piece

Dates half a glass

Cocoa 2 tbsp. spoons

Beat all the listed ingredients into a homogeneous mass and place on top. If desired, decorate with fresh or canned berries.

We put it in the refrigerator.

Usually a no-bake cake is made using cookies, but you can use waffles and gingerbread as a base. Let's try the last option.

Gingerbread cake.

We will need:

Fresh gingerbread, preferably chocolate 500 g

Curd mass or homogeneous cottage cheese 500 g

Sour cream 200 gr

Sugar 1 cup

Any dried fruits 150-200 g

So let's get started!

• We cut all the gingerbreads in half or even into three parts.
• Beat cottage cheese with sugar and sour cream. This will be cream.

For many people, a holiday is primarily about pie. And indeed, what could be better than a homemade classic pie, which can be decorated with the name of the birthday boy on top, laying it out from thinly rolled strips of dough! Just like in the good old days, this is exactly what our grandmothers did on our mothers’ birthdays.

So, let's bake sour cream pie with apples

• Take a stick of butter it must be taken out of the refrigerator in advance because it should be soft.
• Grind butter with sugar. Determine the amount of sugar yourself. If you like sweet dough, then put half a glass, and if just for taste, then two to three tablespoons will be enough.
• Now add sour cream (half a glass) and soda to the resulting mass (half a teaspoon and no need to quench! We put it in sour cream),
• then add 2 cups of flour and knead the dough. It should turn out very soft.
• Grease the mold with vegetable oil and place the dough in it, filling the entire mold evenly.
• Let's make edges from the dough around the edges.

Apples should be cut into slices and carefully placed on top of the dough. Each slice should “peek out” from the next one.

Now we prepare the filling.

• Grind an egg with half a glass of sugar,
• add half a glass of sour cream and two tablespoons of flour. You can take a tablespoon of starch instead of flour, both flour and starch are needed so that the filling does not float away.

Let's preheat the oven and place the pie. We will bake for 40 minutes at 170-200 degrees.

Now let's write down the ingredients:

Flour 2 cups

Sour cream 1 cup

Sugar 1 cup

Oil 1 pack

Apples 4-6 pieces

Starch 1 tbsp. spoon

Making a children's cake with your own hands is easy! May your holiday be merry!

Any housewife can make a delicious birthday cake. The main thing is to show creative imagination and strictly follow all the requirements of the recipe.

In this article we will present several options on how to make an unusual and delicious dessert for the holiday table.

Homemade Birthday Cakes Recipes

There are many options on how to prepare a tasty and tender delicacy for a children's party. Many housewives believe that they cannot do without colorful mastic. Indeed, using this confectionery material you can get a rather original cake for a girl or boy. But, unfortunately, not all housewives know how to prepare such a product. In this regard, we invite you to make a simple, but very tasty and delicate sponge cake that does not require a lot of time and many ingredients.

So, to prepare the dessert we will need the following products:

Making biscuit dough

Children's cakes should not only be very beautiful, but also tasty and healthy. Before you start forming such a dessert, you should knead the biscuit dough. To do this, place the whites and yolks in different bowls, and then add 125 g of granulated sugar to them. The yolks are thoroughly kneaded with a spoon, and the whites are beaten vigorously using a blender (until very stiff peaks). After this, both products are combined and mixed thoroughly.

By adding slaked soda and snow-white flour to the fluffy and airy mass, you get a viscous but thin dough.

Bake the cake crust in the oven

To prepare unusual children's cakes, you need to form them correctly. To do this you need to bake a sponge cake.

After greasing a deep pan with oil, place the airy and tender dough into it. After this, the base is placed in a preheated oven and baked for 50-58 minutes.

As soon as the sponge cake becomes rosy and fluffy, take it out and place it on a cake pan. After waiting for the product to cool completely, it is cut into two layers. The one on top is chaotically broken by hand, and the bottom sponge cake is left intact.

Making sour cream

Homemade cake recipes may involve the use of different creams. For a children's party, we decided to use sour cream. To prepare it, edible gelatin is poured with water and left aside for 20 minutes. After time, it is heated and cooled slightly.

As for thick and fatty sour cream, place it completely in a blender bowl and beat at the highest speed. Granulated sugar is gradually added to it. After this, ¼ of the cream is set aside, and gelatin is added to the rest and beaten well.

Forming and decorating process

A delicious birthday cake is quite simple to create. First, coat a whole sponge cake with gelatin-free cream. After this, pieces of cake are placed on it, which are first dipped into another sweet milk mass.

As soon as you get a tall cake in the form of a slide, you should pour the remaining cream over it and immediately put it in the refrigerator.

After keeping the dessert in the cold for about 10 minutes, it is doused with chocolate glaze (in a thin stream). To prepare it, place milk chocolate slices in a bowl and add a little milk.

Slowly heating the components, wait until a homogeneous chocolate mass forms in the bowl. It should be used for its intended purpose after slight cooling.

Serving a cake for a children's party

A delicious birthday cake is served only after a long period of time in the refrigerator. This treatment will allow the sponge cake to absorb sour cream and become softer and more tender.

For a children's party, homemade dessert should be served along with a cup of tea.

Simple and delicious buttercream cake

If you need a more high-calorie and filling dessert, we suggest making a chocolate cake with condensed cream. We don’t need a lot of products or time to prepare it. To make sure of this, we suggest looking at the list of ingredients and the step-by-step recipe right now.

So, for chocolate cake we will need the following ingredients:

Knead the base

A simple and delicious chocolate sponge cake is prepared quite quickly. First you need to knead the dough. The yolks are ground with sugar, and the whites are whipped into a stable foam. Then both components are combined and mixed thoroughly. They also add high-fat sour cream, slaked soda, cocoa powder and white flour. All ingredients are mixed and a chocolate dough of viscous consistency is obtained.

Chocolate cake baking process

After preparing the chocolate dough, it is placed in a deep mold, which is greased with any oil (vegetable). Next, the base is sent to the oven and baked for 55-58 minutes.

Once the dough is puffy and fully cooked, remove it and allow to cool. Next, the biscuit is cut into two layers.

Cream preparation process

A delicious birthday cake is made well from condensed cream. To prepare it, you need to put the butter in the bowl of a blender and beat it vigorously at maximum speed. After this, you need to continue whisking and slowly pour in condensed milk in a thin stream. The process continues until the pomp and uniformity are achieved again.

As a result of the described actions, you should have a fairly stable cream. It should be used for its intended purpose immediately after preparation.

How to properly form a festive chocolate cake?

To create a delicious and beautiful cake, you should use a large cake pan. Place one of the cakes in it and grease it thoroughly with condensed butter cream. In turn, it is covered with a second sponge cake. After this, the entire dessert is completely coated with cream and they begin to decorate it. To do this, use chocolate glaze. It is made as follows: a bar of milk chocolate is broken into slices and placed in a bowl. A few tablespoons of full-fat milk are also poured in there.

By placing the dishes on low heat, slowly heat up the contents. Having received a homogeneous and thick chocolate glaze, it is immediately applied to the surface of the cake and its side parts. After this, the dessert is placed in the refrigerator and kept for 5-8 hours. After this time, the cake should be thoroughly saturated with cream, become softer, juicier and more tender.

How to serve chocolate dessert for a festive feast?

After the cake has been kept in the refrigerator, it is taken out and cut into portions. If desired, you can first decorate the dessert with candles and let the birthday person blow them out.

Such a delicious and delicate chocolate delicacy should be presented to the table on beautiful saucers along with a small spoon. You also need to serve a cup of hot and strong tea with dessert.

It just so happens that most holidays are accompanied by family or grand feasts, for which the hosts of the celebration try to prepare the most delicious, most unusual dishes. The center of the festive table is always the cake.

With the help of themed decorations, the cake can be given symbolic meaning. Thus, it is customary to order multi-tiered masterpieces for a wedding, and to make them taking into account the name of the anniversary. You can present a cake decorated with flowers and with a thematic inscription.

Every housewife has a couple of sweet masterpieces in her piggy bank that work best.

But even if you don’t have pastry experience, you can resort to a win-win option for any holiday and prepare a classic cake, the taste of which is familiar from childhood.

It is unlikely that anyone will dispute Napoleon's popularity. This layered cake dessert has many interpretations.

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

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

It’s difficult to highlight the classic version of Napoleon, but let’s try to prepare the cake according to the 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 preparing Napoleon by preparing the cakes. Sift all the flour through a sieve so that it is saturated with air. Add grated butter to the flour.

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

Quickly rub the flour and butter mixture with your hands to form a homogeneous mass. Separate two yolks into a 250 ml glass or cup, add salt and vinegar and mix well. Add ice water to the top of the same container and immediately pour the resulting mixture into the flour mixed with butter.

Knead the dough with your hands, divide it into 9 parts, from which we form individual lumps. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for about an hour.

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

Do not forget to stir the cream so that there are no lumps and the cream does not burn. After bringing the custard to a boil, remove from heat and leave to cool. Add softened butter to the cooled mass and beat thoroughly with a blender.

Roll out thin cakes from the chilled dough and bake each on a dry baking sheet. Before sending the cake into an oven preheated to 180 degrees, it must be pricked in several places. Bake each cake until browned. Bake the ninth cake a little longer to obtain brown crumbs, which will be used for topping.

Baking time will depend on the features of the oven, but usually 10-15 minutes are enough for one cake.

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

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

Chic homemade birthday cake – Honey cake

A piece of homemade honey cake and a cup of warm milk are warm childhood memories. For many, this childhood dessert remains their favorite.

Be careful - the mixture quickly increases in volume.

As soon as the mixture turns white, remove it from the heat. Add flour and one egg at a time and knead the dough. Roll out 8 thin cakes from the finished dough.

We will bake our shortcakes at 180 degrees. This process is very fast. It only takes five minutes for the cake to bake.

The finished shortcakes can be carefully trimmed so that our cake is even and neat.

We prepare the cream by whipping sour cream with sugar, to which you can add vanilla or other spices. Coat the cooled shortcakes with the prepared sour cream and leave for soaking.

Pour the sifted flour into the mixture and mix thoroughly with a spoon. We will bake the dough in a greased round pan. Usually sour cream is cooked at 180 degrees for at least 40 minutes.

Be sure to check the readiness of the cord with a wooden stick, which should be completely dry if the cake is baked.

After cooling completely, cut the cake into two parts.

Preparing sour cream cream is even easier. Beat sour cream with sugar - that’s the whole secret of a delicious cream. The main thing is to cool the sour cream well, for which it is better to prepare it first - before preparing the cake. If desired, you can add raisins or poppy seeds to the cream.

Recipe for a delicious cake for a children's birthday – Curd cake

Baking with cottage cheese is a great option to diversify the menu with a healthy dessert and feed your child such an important product as cottage cheese. The proposed recipe for cottage cheese cake will require you to set aside a certain time for preparation, but the result will undoubtedly please your guests and baby.

To prepare you will need:

• flour - 1.5 cups;
• sugar – 1 glass;
• eggs – 1 pc.;
• soda – 1.5 tsp;
• homemade cottage cheese – 250 gr.

To prepare the cream you need:

• sugar – 1.5 cups;
• flour – 4 tbsp;
• milk – 3.5 cups;
• butter – 150 gr.;
• vanilla sugar;
• lemon zest.

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

Mix grated cottage cheese with egg and sugar in a bowl. Add slaked soda and leave the mixture for 20 minutes. During this time, the curd mixture 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. Cover the dough with film and refrigerate, where it will spend the next 8 hours.

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

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

The curd balls must be refrigerated before baking. Therefore, we take them out one by one and roll them into a layer. Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour and place a thin layer of dough onto it. Be sure to prick the dough in several places before baking.

Immediately place the pan in 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 add the egg-milk mixture into it. The cream must be stirred constantly. Warm it up until the consistency reaches the consistency of thick sour cream.

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

Layer the curd cakes with custard. If desired, you can put crushed nuts or pieces of dried fruit between the cakes.

How to make an original, but simple birthday cake with your own hands: preparing Cheesecake

If you look into history, the first desserts made from cream cheese and shortcrust pastry can be found in Ancient Rome. This curd miracle came to us from America and became a frequent guest on the everyday or holiday table.

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

To prepare 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 them with soft butter and egg. Use the resulting mixture to cover the bottom and sides of the pan in which we will bake the dessert. To allow the sand mass to set, place the mold in the cold.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. We begin to mix the cheese, gradually adding sugar to it. Without ceasing to stir the filling, add one egg at a time. At the very end, add sour cream.

The cheesecake filling is not whipped, but gently mixed.

Take the dessert base out of the refrigerator and pour out all the filling. The cheesecake is baked at low temperature. We keep it for about 40 minutes at 165 degrees. We don't take the cake out of the oven. After turning off the oven, keep the dessert in it for about another hour.

Now you can remove the cheesecake. There is one last important touch left.

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 a holiday with your own hands: Bird's milk

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

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.

We will prepare the soufflé from:

• glasses of milk;
• 3 proteins;
• 1 tbsp. l. gelatin;
• citric acid.

To prepare the glaze you need:

• sugar – 3 tbsp;
• sour cream – 2 tbsp;
• cocoa – 2 tbsp.

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

Let's start cooking with the base of the cake. To do this, you first 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 base crust on baking paper, which you need to cover a baking sheet with. Keep the crust in a hot oven until golden brown.

We will make the soufflé for the cake using gelatin. Therefore, you will have to fill the gelatin with water in advance so that it swells. Place the container with the swollen gelatin in a water bath and heat it until it is completely dissolved.

Do not allow gelatin to boil - it will lose its quality.

Separate the whites and place them in a clean, dry container. Make sure that no moisture or fat gets into the whites - otherwise they will not whip up.

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

Without ceasing to beat the whites, add sugar in portions.

When you get a thick protein foam, you can start adding gelatin.

Just keep the gelatin mixture chilled or the whites will curdle.

Immediately make the glaze. Combine sugar with cocoa and add sour cream and vanillin.

After stirring all the ingredients, we send the preparation to the fire.

After warming up a little, remembering to stir, put the butter in the container.

The glaze is ready when the mixture begins to boil.

When all the components of the cake are ready, you can begin assembling the masterpiece. Place the entire soufflé on the cold base, spreading it evenly over the surface, and put it in the cold to harden.

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

Bird's milk usually hardens in about a couple of hours. Take out the frozen cake and pour cooled chocolate glaze on top. This beautiful cake does not require any additional decorations.

It will decorate any feast and surprise guests with its unusual light taste.

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