And, of course, tea drinking is hard to imagine without a delicious dessert. Now the shops have a large selection of confectionery: cakes and pastries of various shapes and with various fillings. But the best sweets are homemade. Each hostess has her own recipes for delicious and unusual desserts. Many of which will be an excellent decoration not only for evening gatherings, but also for a magnificent festive feast. One of these desserts is a cake with a slipper. The article will provide step-by-step instructions for its preparation, as well as small tips and tricks from experienced housewives.
Create a shoe template
The highlight of the cake will need to be prepared in advance. It is better to do this in 2-3 days so that it can dry well. We need parchment, cardboard and toothpicks, as well as a shoe template (you can either draw it yourself, or find a picture and print it on thick paper).
We take the mastic, put the details on it and cut out the sole with high heels. You will need to make 2-3 layers, depending on what height you want the shoe. The heel can be of any shape (round, square, etc.). The shoe is almost ready, leave it to dry for two hours. While the sole dries without wasting time, we cut out the upper part of the decoration. We attach it to the sole, if there are extra pieces, then they need to be cut off. After all, our goal is a neat shoe, like Cinderella’s. And the last stage: we master the side parts. We fasten everything with water. Let the shoe dry well. Everything, our cake decoration with shoe, is ready! It remains only to paint it in the desired color. To do this, you need food coloring. A shoe of bright red color, purple or golden will look very nice.
Chocolate Miracle
A chocolate shoe will be a great option for decorating a festive dessert. It can also be handed over as a gift to the birthday man. We think no child will refuse such a presentation.
So, for cooking you will need: a bar of dark chocolate (preferably of high quality), chocolate candies (with dark filling, white ones will not work) and topping (you can use coconut flakes). Having prepared the necessary products, we begin to create our culinary masterpiece. By the way, do not forget to take a plastic shoe. It will be needed as a basis.
- Melt the chocolate in a water bath. Fill them with the form to half. Then we begin to rotate it so that the chocolate fills the form evenly. We do this for about 10 minutes. Then we remove the chocolate figure in the refrigerator and leave it to freeze. About an hour or two.
- The second time we repeat all the technology described above. And also put the slipper in the refrigerator (again for an hour).
- Now you need to very carefully open the shoe and remove the form from it. This should be done as carefully as possible so as not to damage the jewelry. Now you can sprinkle it with coconut.
