Cake- a delicious confectionery product, the basis of which is a rich cake layer, combined with cream or other sweet varieties of filling. They come in various shapes and sizes. In the classic version, the shape of such a dessert is either round or square. The size of the cakes is usually from twenty to thirty-five centimeters. A mandatory attribute of a cake is an original design, which can be made using various sweet products.

A dessert like cake is prepared in almost all countries of the world. At the same time, traditional recipes are often modified. By adapting to new realities, they can change radically! Thanks to this, the variety of culinary recipes for making cakes is becoming greater every day and even every hour.

Depending on the type of cake, all cakes are divided into the following main types:

biscuits;
waffle;
sand;
curd;
puff pastry cakes.

Each of these types of cakes can be prepared at home. Even a person who has never worked with dough and never baked it can make them with their own hands. Beginners in the confectionery business only need to carefully study the recipe recommendations for preparing a particular cake - and strictly follow them! In addition, you can stock up on ready-made cakes or buy frozen dough. This will greatly simplify the task of a novice pastry chef.

Preparing this or that cream at home should also not cause difficulties. Whether it is protein, custard, butter, sour cream, chocolate or any other, it is important to act strictly in accordance with the recipe. Changing the proportions of products and non-compliance with the peculiarities of the technological process are the main reasons why the cake cream may not turn out.

Cake elements such as jelly, fondant, sugar mastic, soufflé and some others make the preparation procedure more complex. However, this does not mean that such delicious ingredients will become an obstacle to preparing your favorite dessert at home. Not at all! All these elements can also be prepared by hand. The main thing is to strictly adhere to the prescribed cooking technology.

As for making homemade cakes in general, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

products for making a cake must be fresh;
In order for the cake layers to be more tender and airy, the flour for preparing them must be sifted;
if necessary, food coloring for cakes or cream can be replaced with the juice of some berries and vegetables (this will turn out even healthier);
when adding nuts to the cake, it is best to pre-roast them, because thanks to this manipulation the nuts better reveal their aroma and taste;
It will be much easier to whip cream and egg whites if you first cool them in the refrigerator;
Before covering the cake with mastic, it must first be leveled with butter cream (the cream between the cake layers can be absolutely anything), and the mastic itself should not be rolled out too thin, as in this case it will only emphasize the existing unevenness;
In addition to mastic, crumbled cake crust, as well as fresh fruits and berries, are excellent for decorating a cake.

No matter how complex the cake you plan to make with your own hands, the main thing is to follow the recommendations of the corresponding recipe - then a delicious result will not keep you waiting!

Desserts for birthdays, anniversaries and other holidays

A birthday, anniversary, wedding, New Year or any other holiday - all these are wonderful occasions to prepare a delicious themed cake. Wherein When creating such desserts, special emphasis is placed on their design..

You can decorate a birthday cake in different ways. The classic option is to grease the top and sides of the cake with the same cream with which the cakes are soaked and sprinkle with fine crumbs from the cake, grated chocolate, powdered sugar, and crushed nuts. Using powder you can form inscriptions and original patterns.

A slightly more time-consuming method is decorating the cake with buttercream. It holds its shape well, and therefore is often used for decoration purposes. Using a pastry bag with a shaped nozzle, you can create very original patterns on the surface of a festive dessert.

And if you approach the issue of cake design fundamentally, you can use sugar mastic for decoration. It allows you to create real delicious miracles! With the help of mastic, they not only create additional decorative elements in the form of all kinds of figures, but also turn the cake itself into an edible sculpture. Decorating a dessert using such material requires developed imagination and a lot of patience.

In addition to adding decorative elements to the cake on the occasion of any holiday, the cake can also be given an original shape. For example, for a wedding or on the occasion of a romantic celebration, a dessert can be made in the shape of a heart, and for the New Year - in the shape of a Christmas tree or a snowman.

A lot of interesting options for decorating cakes at home on the occasion of various holidays can be found in the step-by-step photo recipes in this section of the site. Choose the option you like and get creative!

To sum it up...

There is nothing tastier than a homemade cake! You can combine your favorite ingredients and decorate it in a special way. In addition, such a dessert will not be saturated with a lot of harmful food additives, which means it will not cause such harm to health as its “store-bought counterpart.”

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. Beginning with . And especially the main detail of the holiday, without which there simply is no birthday. This is cake! It must be there.

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 one.

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. And here 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.
Soak the dried fruits in boiling water, and when the water has cooled, cut them into smaller pieces.
Cover the mold with cling film.
Now generously grease each piece of gingerbread with cream and carefully place it in the mold.
Having laid a layer, sprinkle with dried fruits, lay out the next one, sprinkle, and so on until the end.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for two hours.
Take it out, turn the container over, and place the cake on a plate.
remove the film
grease the top of the cake with the remaining cream and decorate with fruit as desired

The cake is ready! Again, remember: the cake can be made the day before, but it is better to lay out the fruit for decoration on the day of the holiday!

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

You can also add cinnamon, 2 teaspoons, if you like

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

It’s hard to imagine a holiday, especially a birthday, without a delicious and original cake. Cakes for every taste are sold in every supermarket.

However, not a single store-bought cake will bring as many pleasant emotions to the recipient as a cake made especially for him, taking into account taste preferences, and in the case of mastic cakes, even taking into account his profession, interests and hobbies, which are masterfully embodied in edible and sweet form. Such cakes will not leave even adult men indifferent, not just children.
