Inna, hello! What a super wonderful Book of Monsters from Harry Potter! Class! So woolly, big-eyed, just missing teeth. Mega magic cake!!! Great idea for Halloween. The original decoration is very neat and beautifully made. Really pleased! But how can you transfer it from the cutting board to a beautiful cake dish? or is this a wooden dish specifically for this themed cake? And how delicious, mmm... As I understand it, the sponge cake here is chocolate? Thank you very much for the recipe, bravo!!! <br />

Hello! I really liked this cake. Interesting and not usual. I want to try to make this miracle for my son’s birthday. Just tell me, please, the ingredients for the biscuit and cream itself. And exact proportions. I'm not a very experienced cook, just a beginner, so it's important for me to know the exact proportions. Thank you so much early!
