Money Cake
Description
The first time I saw the "Money Case" cake was in an advertisement, and several months later I tried a similar cake at a friend's party. Interestingly, the cake wasn't made in a professional bakery but by the hostess's daughter. It turned out her version was quite achievable for any experienced home baker. Of course, you need to know how to work with fondant, but this skill always comes in handy. Cakes decorated with fondant and marzipan look fantastic. It's better to use a double portion of sponge cake to make the case larger. I recommend baking the sponge cake the day before, so it has time to cool completely. For decoration, use paper photocopies of large banknotes—it's more fun that way. Good luck and
