Cake
Description
Perfect for tea or coffee. This cake wins hearts with its unique appearance. Preparing it requires some effort. First, knead the dough, roll it out, and bake the cake layers. Prepare the cottage cheese and chocolate cream, layer them between the cake sheets, and refrigerate the cake. Then place it on a prepared template and trim it into shapes resembling an animal. Smooth the edges using scraps mixed with leftover cream and butter. Roll out marshmallow fondant on starch into a sheet and cover the cake with it. Carefully smooth it over the bear-shaped forms and trim off excess around the edges. Use a toothpick to draw fur lines, and shape eyes and claws from black fondant. Mix cocoa with rum or vodka and paint the cake using a brush. The cake is ready—serve it at the table. The pastry is done. Serve it.
