In the event that you are interested in the idea of creating and making unusual desserts such as a cake in the form of a laptop computer, stay here.
Creating a cake in the form of a PC (personal computer)
We have prepared an interesting and easy master class on creating a cake-computer, which completely copies a real laptop. This kind of cake will especially appeal to schoolchildren, as well as people who are fond of advanced technologies.
The basic manufacturing principles related to the initial stages of baking can also be applied to other cake designs. A cake baked according to this recipe will definitely turn out to be extremely appetizing and fragrant. You can see the computer cake in the photo below.
Ingredients
We will need:
- three chicken yolks;
- 1 cup sugar
- 200 grams of butter or margarine (already a little melted);
- half a bag of baking powder;
- two to two and a half cups of brownish-yellow flour.
Ingredients for the cake:
- three chicken proteins;
- 1 cup sugar
- one cup of peeled walnuts or peanuts.
Ingredients for creating a cream:
- 150-200 grams of butter;
- one whole jar of either plain or boiled condensed milk.
Cooking method
- Prepare the bulk - dough: grind the yolks with sugar, add butter, baking powder. Mix thoroughly with flour until the ingredients are completely dissolved and get a homogeneous mass.
- The main thing is done, now we are switching to making a cake. Squirrel with sugar fluff to get a white roller coaster. Roll out the dough into three square or rectangular crusts. Spread each of them with our whipped protein with sugar and sprinkle with grated nuts.
- We create a delicious cream: mix butter with a whole jar of condensed milk. Beat the mixture well with a mixer. Add nuts to the resulting cream and mix.
- Cool the baked shortcakes and spread with cream (the outer - the topmost - you do not need to smear the crust). So gradually it turns out a cake in the form of a computer. Photo can be seen below.
Ingredients for laptop design
To create a cake computer design and laptop design, you will need:
- Square wafer shortcakes.
- Chocolate.
- Wood skewers.
Ingredients for making mastic: two hundred grams of marshmallows, 2 tablespoons of warm butter, 600 grams of powdered sugar, many colors of dyes for food (the number of ingredients can be increased, starting from the size of the computer cake).
Cooking method
The procedure for the manufacture of our cake-computer:
- Take wafer shortcakes and cut out two rectangles of the same size from them, they will be the future monitor of our laptop.
- Melt the chocolate bar in a water bath, spread one of the waffle cakes with the resulting mass. Place wood skewers on its sides and lay another waffle cake on top. Put the resulting base in the freezer for a short time. About 20 minutes will be enough.
- To create a keyboard, do the same, only without skewers. Also put in the freezer for twenty minutes.
- All this time, while our laptop base will harden in the freezer, you can create mastics.
- Pour marshmallows into a plate and add gentle warm butter to it. Place the plate in the microwave for one quarter of a minute. From this procedure, marshmallows will rise and swell.
- Add sweet sugar powder to the resulting mixture and mix well. As a result, you should get a mass that is not quite liquid. Keep track of its structure, because then you have to put it on a future laptop, and it will not have to drain.
- Pinch off pieces from our mastic, you will need them to create and sculpt the figures. Color one of the pieces in the tone you need, thoroughly soaking it with dye for food.
- All actions must be performed on a dry, slightly sprinkled with powdered sugar section of the table. Your hands should also be slightly covered with powdered sugar so that they do not stick to the mastic.
- From the remaining mastic, you will need to create a dull dark gray coating on our computer. And also we need a chestnut mastic for the bottom of the laptop. Divide the rest of the paste into two parts. In the first, add dull dark gray paint, and in the second - pale chestnut, thoroughly knead everything without exception. It is necessary to mix until a homogeneous and one-color mass is obtained. Roll the resulting colored mastic into layers.
Laptop forming
When the chocolate in the waffle cakes solidifies well, it's time to pull them out of the freezer. Pull out and carefully cover with the resulting mastic, gently smoothing out all the bumps with your hands. Cut off excess pieces of mastic with a knife, and moisten the surface with water. Wait a little and let the cakes dry well. Next, we send our laptop base to the refrigerator. We are waiting for the absolute solidification of the whole mass. You can put cakes in the refrigerator all night. We proceed to the design of the cake itself. Prepare the cream, bringing it to a state similar to mastic. Beat it again until fully thickened, add one package of melted butter and four tablespoons of concentrated sugar syrup. Spread the resulting consistency on the surface of our cake. And again, we send the cake to the refrigerator so that the cream hardens as much as possible. After that, we take it out of the refrigerator and cover it with light brown mastic. This is the stand for our laptop. Now we are starting to design a laptop. Using wooden sticks, connect both parts of the computer, create inscriptions and letters on the keyboard and decorate the display itself with an interesting pattern. Place the laptop on a stand.
Our little cake laptop is completely ready!
