Hello Everyone,
Saturday was my beloved Elif's birthday. This ladybug ivy cake came out after Elva asked me to make a ladybug cake for her girlfriend. Happy birthday Elif… I realized that it is not that easy to make a cake from sugar dough. She takes a lot of effort, but when you look at the result, it seems to be worth it. I wanted to share with you the experiences that I think will be useful for friends like me who are just starting to deal with sugar dough. I will share with you the construction stages of the figures I made soon :)
Ingredients for Ladybug Ivy Pie Recipe
2 packs of sponge cake
1 package of cherry chocolate pudding
1 pack of caramel cream
2 packs of milk chocolate
Milk
Fabrication:
Pudding prepared according to the recipe is fed to each layer of the sponge cake and crushed chocolate chips are poured over it. The same process is continued until the ceiling of the sponge cake is placed. Cover the cake with the remaining pudding. Again, the cream made according to the recipe is spread thickly and evenly on the pudding. The dough is kept in the refrigerator until it opens. The sugar dough, which is opened on the counter, is covered on the cake and the previously made figures are stuck on the cake with the help of glucose or water. (of course, it's easy to tell, but if you see it while making a bidet.
Notes:
After many changes, the cake took its final shape, but it took a lot of work. I made the white part of the cake with the sugar dough I kneaded myself. I found this recipe on the internet as I wrote before, but I had to add extra powdered sugar in it. Now let me write you the problems I faced while making a cake from sugar paste.
1. The dough that I rolled myself ruptured very quickly. When I opened it with powdered sugar, it dried very quickly.
2. Since I couldn't put the sugar paste in the fridge and it covered it overnight, it sagged from the skirt parts in the morning.
3. If I had put it in the fridge, it would sweat and still tear and sag :S
4. I had to pass extra tape to the sides to gather the skirt parts.
5. The cream I used for the cake coating melted the sugar paste in places. I put flowers and ivy there again.
Well, at least he made it to his birthday safely. And he was well defeated. That's it from me for now. See you…
