Cake with M & M's and Kit Kat chocolate (decoration workshop)

I have +3 in the fridge⁰... If that, then you need to bet on a larger +. I also just thought about the temperature in the refrigerator. It's a pity that it hadn't occurred to me earlier. My chocolate has not yet turned gray. But the frosting !! In terms of shelf life, how much time is still ahead. And I bought the icing in three different packs (360g, 130g, 45g), in three different places. True, I mixed it all. And without a refrigerator at room temperature, she was all wonderful lying to herself.

Came with a report. Irina, thanks for the master class. I couldn't have done it without him. The reaction of the girl that she ordered the cake was very interesting.
That's what I did.



The bag is holding like this.



The cake is 23 cm in diameter. The weight is 2.6 kg. Of these, the cake itself is 1.7kg. Used 44 sticks.

It turned out great! Everyone has a reaction of a stunned person to cake.
Lud, and where is the "gray hair" on the dragee? She didn't show up later?

No, Irin, this is the cake after the "gray hair". I greased all the candies with butter, they shone again. It did not appear anymore.
And the gray hair was like this.



Most of all was manifested and visible in red and brown.
The most interesting thing is that it manifested itself both on a dry plate and on a cake, where moisture was naturally present.

Oh ... I forgot about mine in the fridge.
Now I looked: the yellow ones were unchanged, on the green ones I didn't see anything either, on the red one - a small rim of chocolate that had emerged. And they all got sticky to the touch

What's the conclusion?
Better to collect the cake the day before. Apply cream and wrap around the waffle rim.
Decorate with a "rainbow" and give on the day of eating

on red - a small rim of emerged chocolate

Ir, how did the chocolate rim appear?
I collected the cake one day. I only made a plate with a rainbow in advance. And these couple of hours were enough for the gray hair to appear.

Not the entire surface, as on your dragees, but in the place of contact with the napkin
Tried to wipe it off but to no avail

Ira, and butter?

Laziness with butter Has already eaten

That's what I did.

Lyudmila, beautiful cake.
And which plate did you install from the gingerbread dough?

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, used a gingerbread plate. Everything worked out. True, she became quite soft. Baked according to the recipe "soft gingerbread for painting"

she became very soft

The main thing is that it did not fall. So it's better to use chocolate.

[zhita]

zhita, tanya, probably depending on which gingerbread dough to use. I have a plate of chocolate. I didn't use it. Rather, I have not made of chocolate, but of chocolate glaze. it will be stronger.
It's good that I didn't stick the pills on it. Now if I do anything right before giving it up.

This is me for myself, for the future. The children really liked the cake, even just with a mosaic. Now, if I repeat, I'll try with a plate.

Most of all was manifested and visible in red and brown.
The most interesting thing is that it manifested itself both on a dry plate and on a cake, where moisture was naturally present.

Here! From moisture it is on the cake! I had a cake for 24 hours, I glued the decor with gel on the ganache and on the mirror glaze that was in the leftovers, apparently this did not turn gray.

girls and I to you with a report))) .. oh pleasure to make this cake) really good what I did for the house .. understood .. for myself my misgivings ... made a short cake ... the plate is too plump ..I still had to glue the red sweets in width ... thanks Big Ira for Mk))

I forgot to write .. I did make the record yesterday ... and put it in the refrigerator at my own expense ... but nothing .. the sweets did not "turn gray" ... the same ... maybe all the same it is from the temperature refrigerator depends ...

Tanya, great cake. The same bright and cheerful.
By the way, I also covered the plate from the side with red dragee.
But KitKat was divided into 2 pieces. They fit well on the side of the cake.
Tanya, why didn't you place the ribbon in the middle of the chocolate? So she would tighten the chocolates.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, has your rainbow already taken a glass?
She is pulled horizontally

oh .. yes, everything is wrong, something just didn't work out ... the gaps seem to be clearly visible .. if it's straight ... and girls ... I cut a small cake in height ... that's why I put a ribbon down the bottom ... (although everything was neat at the bottom!) .. and what else I understood for myself .. next time, I will put sweets on colored cream .. (otherwise I had brown). I somehow "rushed" into my eyes brown gaps ... (((.. well, my daughter that I made such a cake, I'm very happy)))) now I will wait for her reaction)))

Thank you very much Ira for MK !! again))) I'm now with a photo report from the recipient of the cake (my daughter)) a lot of delight !!!!

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, what a happy daughter !!! I think that the cake turned out, already because you pleased your daughter. Look how it all glows !!
For the future. For such cakes, where the cake is assembled from separate parts of the decoration, the substrate should be taken not so thin. She plays under the cake and all your chocolates walk along the side of the cake.
But ... this is such nonsense compared to the happiness of the daughter, which she received from the cake. By the way, made by the hands of the person closest to her. How much it will be appreciated when the daughter grows up. I know what I am saying.

Thank you!!!! oh the delight knew no bounds !! she did the cake all day. did not allow to cut. and she was not allowed to put the cake in the refrigerator ... quietly put it in the refrigerator .... .. my husband was waiting for when we would try inside .... Lyuda .. but about the substrate ... I only have such ... if only to make it out of polystyrene ... and cover it with paper ... .. Thanks Luda for the warm words ...!))) the cake is ideal for a children's party where a lot of kids ... !! (just one of them may "stick together")))))

What happiness! My daughter is glad!
And how carefully she wrapped her hands around the cake! Will be your assistant!

Adults ate my cake. And then they took apart chocolate and dragees in the first place
Two things, stuck to the tray and accidentally forgotten, returned home

The kids love these cakes! You are so beautiful!
I also did this, only to your mine as to Kiev on foot

[tanek03]

tanek03how much happiness is in one photo! lovely :-)

[Raspberry berry]

Raspberry berry, a wonderful trickle of dragees turned out! It pours out very naturally from the pack.
The folds at the bottom of the cake could be covered with piles of dragees.

Tatyana, you can cut the backing from thick cardboard, slightly smaller than the diameter of the gold backing. And put her on double-sided tape.

[Raspberry berry]

Raspberry berry, everything worked out great!
It's one thing to photograph, and another thing to sit at the table and get ready to gobble up piece by piece.
Only M & Ms connoisseurs will spot the catch

Girls, how to evaluate such a cake? Is it a bit expensive? just ordered and I was at a loss, how to call the price for it.

The cost of the cake by weight (before decoration) + the cost of sweets and chocolates.
Well, "rainbows", of course

[Irina Dolars]

Irina Dolars, Ira, how fast you are. Thank you. I generally want sides, Not a whale kat, but kinder surprise bars. And it turns out very expensive, that is, kinders + mams for 1200.

And there is . All decor is expensive

Ira, what a cool cake! Quite by accident I came across MK! Great! 😃😃😃
And with a skewer a cake, around the skewers on the icing are attached? They will survive the transportation, the structure will not crumble, do you think? ))) How many grams of mms did it take for this option? )))

[Victoria]

Victoria, if you are asking about the cake for which MK is given, then Ira wrote everything in the first message.
When giving such a cake, I gave the plate with the pills separately. I took out the cake, showed how the plate is attached to the cake. Then she took it out, packed it separately and gave the cake to the customers, saying that they would insert the plate themselves when serving the cake.

[Victoria]

Victoria, both the right and the second cakes arrived safely in finished form
Didn't give anything separately
With a rod in the center, I'll try to remember the parameters


Lower d = 18; h = 9cm.
Top d = 10; h = 9.5cm.

Substrate between tiers. The rod runs through the whole cake.
I glued the dragee gradually, waiting for the glaze to harden so that nothing would shift.
I don't remember how much it took. It seems like three packs of 43g each. Plus there was still left over from another cake.
Better to buy more than then look for the missing

You can give excess pills along with the cake - joy for children

[Victoria]

Victoria, if you are asking about the cake for which MK is given, then Ira wrote everything in the first message

Lyudochka, her, on the third page is a photo with a skewer, a little more.
Thanks for the info😚

[Irina Dolars]

Irina Dolars, Irishka, thank you 😚

[Irina Dolars]

Irina Dolars, Ira, tell me, please, a yellow cake with a skewer on top of which cream is covered?
Did you stick the sweets on the cake itself or on the icing?
If for the glaze, you can tell how it was made, it seems to me that you can see a little white gap between the candies or I have a glitch))))
Thank you!

The cake is covered with regular protein cream. Although you can use absolutely anyone.
If the dragee is pressed deeper into the cream, then, I think, it will hold. But it will not look as natural as we would like. In addition, the cream on the sides will come out slightly. Therefore, starting from the bottom rows, it is better to put the candies on the icing of the color of the cream. And stronger, and the natural volume of the falling pills
Chocolate icing is sold packaged in disks

Thank you very much for your reply! And the icing "does not peel-off" from the cake, because it turns out to be heavier than the protein cake. I somehow attached lace on the side of the wet meringue, so they tried to get off, that is, there was such a thickened (ugly) rim below.

The glaze sets in a few minutes (almost immediately in the cold). You can't just pull out the dragee without making an effort.

[Recently, my client's paint from m & m's started flowing, so I was too worried .. By the way, they often order these sweets to be on the cake, but they can't stand the night in the refrigerator, the paint runs off.]

Recently, my client's paint from m & m's started flowing, so I was too worried .. By the way, they often order these sweets to be on the cake, but they can't stand the night in the refrigerator, the paint runs off. Soon, another such order, a well-known girl, agreed to pour it herself before serving (I will attach a bag to the cake for her separately), but what if strangers? Is it correct to offer such an option in general?

ANSWER

Shunika13, maybe sprinkle these sweets on the cake before giving the cake and that's it, I think there should be no difficulties here

It seems to me that if you explain the situation, then the proposal to pour it yourself is quite correct. It will also show your competence in this case and care for the client ...

DaNiSa, and if they flow before serving? How many times in the topic have they written about orders that were waiting in the wings, after the ransom, for two or three days.

DaNiSa, yes, in principle, I did, but often I have to give the cake in the evening, and they will eat it only the next day, so I think about how to make sure that the cake does not lose its appearance :)

well, for sure, if the cake will still stand for a lot of time with customers, then, of course, this option is generally very useful information for me personally - I had no idea that these sweets flow after the refrigerator

and I

DaNiSa, the opening was unpleasant for me too !! We were carrying the cake in the car to the customer and during the transfer I noticed a smudge on the cake and it was clearly not ganache !!! It was so uncomfortable !! Again, I'm glad that my friend ordered a cake ...

And my M&M candies did not flow after the refrigerator, but on the contrary, a white bloom appeared on them after the refrigerator. Well, in short, what's the matter, it's better not to put them in the refrigerator

Yeah, flow, flow, and very strong. I was very, very long ago, in the late 90s, was invited to the New Year, and I made a cake, covered it with white cream, painted spruce branches, and M&M sweets were supposed to represent toys on the branches, put them in the refrigerator. When I took out the cake, the paint around all the candies spread very much over the white cream, I was terribly upset ... True, it was 100 years ago, maybe they already somehow improved the painting technology But now I wouldn't even remember that case, and calmly pour sweets on the cake ...

Yes, I don’t buy m & m anymore, after my whole mouth and hands were in the dye. We have Polish people who bring sweets, one to one, only they are paler and nothing is painted from them. But daughters are not afraid to give. But on the cake they won't be so fun

And what would replace them? I personally hate m & m's myself, but customers ask ...

Have you tried skitles? I somehow did it on a new one. branch and nothing flowed ... And Mona take nashenskoe dragee (raisins or peanuts in multicolored glaze) ... But, again, all by typing and depending on what creams.

Girls, it’s not in mms, but in the cream on which they lie, it’s like with mastic, it starts to flow on many creams ...
I had a lot of cakes with them, and only once, when I put 1 degree in the refrigerator and covered the lid, the candies were covered with frost, then thawed without incidents.

Well, the ganache is clear that it is `` soft '', not frozen. There must be a lot of cream, so the candies flowed ...
Or put the sweets on top when the ganache grabs in the refrigerator.

Thank you very much for MK, of course not so neatly, but I tried very hard, made a cake for my brother, made a rainbow out of dough, baked and attached sweets. the guests are absolutely delighted, I am happy that I pleased with the design for the sweet tooth

by the way, what the dough looked like, a straight strip is just a residue, baked together

[mouse]

mouse, but can you tell us more about the dough from which the plate was baked? This is a biscuit or shortcrust pastry. It looks like a biscuit. But then is it soft? And how does it hold its shape under the weight of the candy?

[Husky]

Husky, hello, please: 1 protein, 2 tables. lies. milk, 1 table. lies. sugar, wood chips. salt, 5-6-7 table. spoons of flour, 6 is enough for me. Everything was kneaded, it turns out to be elastic, I spread the desired shape on the parchment with my fingers (I greased my hands a little with oil) and baked 180 "so that it turns brown. It turns out a very strong plate. Only it needs to be made thin, because it inflates a little during baking (then just gnaw it )
I made handles for a bag from this dough, stood in the cake all day and did not get a drop

The guests are absolutely delighted, I am happy that I pleased with the design for a sweet tooth

This is the purpose of our efforts with you

And then you tied the bow? It's more elegant with him
And then gnaw the cookies? If it wasn't saturated with cream, what was it like?
And is it too deeply inserted into the cake? Could it have been fixed higher? Then the effect of falling pills would be more pronounced

The first stage - mastering the process - passed ... Now it will be easier to repeat or add new elements.
Go for it!

Thank you for your MK, you are doing so beautifully and smoothly. So far I have decided on a simplified version of such a cake, but I will definitely follow through and make a rainbow like yours.

[Love]

Love, looks delicious
I hope the birthday boy liked it?
We will wait for a "rainbow" from you

I have this option:

Abundance box
There are never too many sweets

Is there a side view? To see the distance to the bags.
