Sweet pillow cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's take the cakes. This is up to your discretion and taste, I have a Napoleon honey cake, the recipe is in my cookbook. I get 10-12 cakes from one serving.

2. STEP 2

   

   If someone still doesn’t buy it but makes it, then here’s an option on how to make square cakes. Just apply a plate and draw straight lines, you get a square.

3. STEP 3

   

   I used standard cream, sour cream, sugar (if you like it sweet, you can use less sugar) and butter. Beat sour cream and sugar with a mixer, add soft butter, beat and mix, but not for long, just for homogeneity. You can leave it for a while to dissolve the sugar, but it’s not necessary. Coat our cakes and put them in the refrigerator for at least an hour to soak.

4. STEP 4

   

   The following photos are from the evening, as it happened. The cakes were soaked and became soft. We cut out our pillow and place the pieces on top.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a knife, level it over the entire surface so that it looks like a pillow.

6. STEP 6

   

   This is how convex it turned out for me.

7. STEP 7

   

   Since our cream is sour cream, which mastic really doesn’t like, we need to make a cream for the mastic and cover our cake with it. There are many options, this is what I have. I took chocolate, melted it in a water bath, added condensed milk and butter, and covered the cake. In order for the cake to be as smooth as possible, you need to put it in the refrigerator after 10-15 minutes. take it out and trim it with a knife, and you can do this several times.

8. STEP 8

   

   We take the mastic, roll it out and cover the cake, smooth it out, trim off the excess, and turn the edges inward.

9. STEP 9

   

   To make the pad more realistic, you will need such a tool.

10. STEP 10

    

    we go along the top, drawing lines, this is what I got. I use homemade marshmallow mastic, so it is springy and the lines are not always clear.

11. STEP 11

    

    Then the pillow can be decorated to suit any taste. I have this mold and wanted to try it out.

12. STEP 12

    

    It could have been done in a different color, but I no longer had time to experiment, my parents were “on the threshold”)), I had to finish it quickly. There was still a piece of purchased mastic left (it makes great figures) and a baby mold. Not exactly what I wanted, but it’s true, a homemade cake, I hope you can develop the topic better))
