Ladybug Cake

Hello Dear Friends,

This week's recipe is a cute ladybug that you can prepare especially at birthday parties :)

Making sugar paste cake, also known as boutique cake, is quite easy. After you prepare the cake and create the cake, everything is up to your imagination.

I buy the sugar paste from the cake shops. There are many color options out there, but if you want, you can buy white paste and give it the colors you want with gel paints.

I used a cup mold while preparing the cake. Cupola molds are hemispherical, some call it adisababa mold. I think the prices start around 6-7 liras, I don't know exactly because I've been using the same pattern for 5-6 years.

I used whipped cream for your cake, but if you want, you can also prepare pastry cream according to this recipe.

Ladybug cake, the last recipe of the lucky recipes I prepared for N11, bring good luck to all of us!

Love…
