Joni’s Birthday Cake

Preface

• My grandson Jonathan asked for a cake for his birthday - and how the little ones (he will be 4 years old) are, this cake would feed an entire district in the end. What is grandma doing now? Quite simply, she fulfills his wishes in a small format and thinks about what it will look like at the end of the day. The difficulty is actually not the cake but the toys for the cake - that is the surprise - a cake to play with - or in other words - to deconstruct. So here we go 🙂 I tried to capture all the work steps in picture form.

DAY 1

• Buy toys - I choose fire brigade and workshop items. An advent calendar was perfect for this.

DAY 2

• Assemble toys - when I think about that he will take them apart again afterwards 🙂 It doesn't matter - I fumble the small parts together within an hour - it doesn't look too bad 🙂

Day 3

• I reconstruct my baking ingredients again and determine - everything is there, I can start. I start with making the cream puffs first - to mix the buttercream and to prepare the (V) Fla. You can find the corresponding links in my KB. >>>>>

cream puff

• Windbag

(V) Fla

• Blackberry pudding >>>>>>>>>>>>> of course without blackberries

butter cream

• Buttercream "basic recipe" for cakes à la Biggi

DAY 4

The batter part 1

• The ingredients listed are for all cake pieces. I only baked them in two batches and therefore stirred the dough twice. First the light dough. To do this, eggs, sugar, butter and salt are stirred together until frothy. Now I add the corn flakes, the baking powder and the flour. Mix this briefly with the butter and egg mixture and then add the milk and cream. Now stir for about 3-5 minutes until creamy and divide the dough.
• Half of the dough is for the small rectangle shape. The other half is mixed with cocoa and is put into the 4-part mold. You have preheated the oven to 170 degrees O / U heat. Now put the molds in the oven for 50 minutes. Then take it out, let it cool and take it out of the mold.

The batter part 2

• Repeat step 8. Now add cranbeeries to the batter. Divide the dough into the large rectangular shape and into the house shape. They still preheated the oven to 170 degrees O / U heat. Now put the molds in the oven for 50 minutes. Then take it out, let it cool and take it out of the mold.

Now it's up to the DEKO

• See pictures
• That's it 🙂 I had fun and I hope my Jonibär will jump in the air tomorrow.
