【Chocolate Fruit Cake】--- A birthday cake full of love (with decorating steps)

Overview

Yesterday was the birthday of my primary school parent, Mr. Cai. Since I started learning baking in the first half of the year, I have been thinking about it, hoping to use my own hands to serve my family a loving birthday cake. A few days ago, I tried it for the first time and made the Snow White Strawberry Garden Cake in the previous blog. After finishing it, I was quite satisfied. I didn't make any ideas before decorating the cake, it was just a temporary one. As for this cake, I had a good picture in mind before I made it, because it was my first time making a birthday cake for my child’s father, and I still cared about it. Originally, I planned to let the child's father watch the child while I was decorating the flowers at noon, but something happened and I delayed it again, so I started to do it after three o'clock in the afternoon. Not long after I started, the baby kept asking me to take him out to play, but I couldn't coax him well. He kept holding my thigh and pulling me away. Later, after mounting the pattern, he touched it off twice for me, so I also patched it up twice. It took me an hour to work on it from beginning to end. In the end, the butter almost melted, so I couldn't do it the way I originally expected, so I temporarily took the simplest route. , I played around with it randomly, so the finished product didn't look very good, and I was even more dissatisfied. But fortunately, it was still finished, but it was ruined by the child. In a few days, it will be my birthday. I hope I can make a beautiful and satisfactory cake by then.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 After the cake is baked, take it out and place it upside down on a baking sheet to cool, then you are ready to make it.

   

2. 2 Fruits used for decoration: strawberries, blackcurrants, apples, dragon fruit.

   

3. 3 Cake filling ingredients: pudding cubes, almond cubes.

   

4. 4 Cake decoration ingredients: chocolate chips.

   

5. 5 Put the whipped cream in the refrigerator for 12 hours before taking it out, pour it into a clean container without oil and water, and add 20 grams of sugar.

   

6. 6 Beat until stiff peaks form and set aside.

   

7. 7 Cut the cake in half.

   

8. 8 Place the bottom piece of cake on the mat and spread a layer of buttercream on it.

   

9. 9 Spread pudding and almonds evenly.

   

10. 10 Spread another layer of cream to cover the pudding and almonds.

    

11. 11 Cover with the top slice of cake and spread butter all over the surface and sides.

    

12. 12 Use a toothed spatula to lightly draw a circle around the buttercream around the cake. Don't move your right hand when making the stroke, just turn the turntable with your left hand. (Because I didn’t spread it very evenly around the edges, this can make the cream look casual and natural)

    

13. 13 Spread chocolate chips around the bottom half. (If you want to glue it all, it’s fine. I think half is enough. The decoration is completely based on your play and is not fixed.)

    

14. 14 Start decorating the surface. First pipe a circle of cream on the edge of the cake to fix the overall outline.

    

15. 15 Sprinkle chocolate chips in the middle.

    

16. 16 Because I didn't use up the butter, I framed another circle of flowers inside the first circle of butter flowers. Then decorate the surface with fruits.
