Zoya turned two this week and on her demand I baked a cake for her to cut at 12 midnight! This was the first time I was working with fondant icing and had no tools to make the toys and lay them on the cake but I managed to get a decent cake on the table.
Zoya loved the cake and couldn't take her hands off it! It was such a satisfying moment!

Инструкции
- For making Fondant-
- Dissolve gelatin with water and let it sit for 2 min. It will absorb all the water.
- Heat it in a pan or microwave for 30 sec so that the gelatin starts dissolving.
- Add sugar syrup and glycerin. Mix well. Heat it in microwave for additional 45 sec such that the solution starts looking clearer.
- In a big bowl put 400 gm icing sugar and make a well in the center. Put the sugar solution in the middle and incorporate the icing sugar into the solution. mix well and knead it like a dough. Use vegetable shortening to grease your hands if it gets too sticky.
- When the dough is soft and pliable, color parts of it in different colors using gel colors drop by drop and kneading it in the dough.
- I used yellow and green color to make two batches. I also left a portion of white fondant for the snow man.
- To make cake-

- Bake it at 350 F in a square dish for 35 min or until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean.

- Melt chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler. Make sure the chocolate doesn't burn if melting in microwave.(Stir it intermittently).
- Beat cream in a bowl and mix with the hot chocolate such that it has a smooth creamy texture without any lumps. If needed, you can heat it for 30 sec.

- When the cake is cool cut the cake horizontally into three pieces. Place the first layer on a flat surface. Pour 1/2 of the chocolate mix on the top and spread well.
