variation on the theme
Judging by the tray, the size of the cake is small ... 3 kg is there?
Irina Dolars
Feels like Cake with M & M's and Kit Kat chocolate (decoration workshop) was about 2.5 kg.
The diameter of the lower tier is 19cm. at a height of 9cm. The upper one is higher - 9.6 cm.

Cake for their own. Decided not to fatten
Olka I
Irina Dolars, it's always like this for friends :-)
Husky
Irina, tell me, how much by weight did you have on the cake itself, before decorating the kitties and colored dragees? And what was the composition?
For Friday I have a cake of my choice. Several times I did what I wanted to them. The customer liked this idea. They are ready to go for another surprise this time too. Order for 2-2.5 kg.
Irina Dolars
The cake itself weighed 1.9 kg.
Ingredients: impregnated sponge cake, natural cream, kiwi and bananas, a little bit of walnuts.
Husky
Irinka, Thank you so much!! I will know what to start from.

Irina thanks for Mk !!! please tell me what the diameter of the cake was ... I decided to make such a cake for my daughter on June 1 ... I want to guess with the purchase of sweets)))
Irina Dolars
All data is indicated in the first post
zhita
Irina Dolars, Congratulations on the victory!
Can you please tell me if Twix can be used instead of Kit Kat, or it is very solid.
Irina Dolars
Hardness is not that important here. Cookies or chocolate are disassembled separately, without waiting for the division of the cake into portions
Kit Kat just looks more harmonious
zhita
Thank you. I will try to evenly divide Kit Kat and lay out a mosaic of sweets, I will not even try to make a "drazhepad"
tanek03
thanks, I didn't notice at first))) girls but tell me about the KitKat .. are these waffle chocolate bars? .. I just didn't understand what to separate from what. ..they will be able to eat by one piece anyway .. or there is also a kind of Kit Cat ..
Irina Dolars
Tatyana, I bought a thin tile that is divided into four sticks

Ira, thanks for the photo of the chocolates ... I just understood .. that single Kit Cat .. well, not like a cake in the photo .. they are big ... so far today I have traveled 3 stores (large stores by our standards). . and did not find such .. I'm looking for such a plan as you sent the photo ... I still have to climb around the shops and look ... but at first I couldn't understand ... what's from what in these chocolates must be cut off, separated .... oh .. our shops do not please me .... thanks for the photo !!
Husky
Iraaaaaa! It's time to torment you with questions. I haven't started doing it yet - everything is clear! As a start, a lot of questions arose.
The tail that you bend at the wire at the level of the last two dragees, should it be of a certain length?
How is the ponytail located in this photo? Along the edge of the white sheet?

Irina Dolars
The gray vertical line - I marked the position of the wire.
A corner is visible - a fold to the right. Then she poured additional chocolate into it.

It doesn't really matter how long it is: it's approximate.
I tried on with a bag of dragees to keep it at an angle.
Husky
Ira, I think the package is narrower than you had. 6 colors do not fit in the width of the package. Only 5 dragee colors. How wide was your package?
And in general, I already broke my head, but I still cannot understand. Probably need to go to bed and figure it out with a fresh mind tomorrow.
Irina Dolars
Width 11.5cm. (from a bag with a weight of 130g.)
Husky
Yeah, okay !! Thank you!! I have a package width of 7 cm. Tomorrow I'll go and see it again. Maybe there are others.
Moreover, the son-in-law walks here, cuts circles around the sweets. I only have time to beat on the hands. I have a lot of greens. So he says that you can eat them, since they will still be superfluous. But there are very few brown ones. I'll go buy tomorrow, then I'll buy bags of greater weight.
Irinka, thanks for the consultation. But I think that this is not all. Tomorrow I will bother you again.
Irina Dolars
Let's not eat anything
Say that everything will come later. Otherwise, he will have to abandon everything and run in search of the missing
zhita
I tried to lay out a mosaic on the cake, it turned out to be very difficult to keep it smooth. Whole pills did not fit around the edges, I turned them sideways, otherwise the cream is visible (I forgot to tint it). Here's what happened.

I didn't find "KitKat" in Auchan, I bought some other, also separate chocolates. And the "Sweet Island" dragee, it is cheaper, although of course it turned out to be pale.

If you cannot insert a photo of sweets, please delete, I will not figure out what is where possible.
Husky
Tanya, all photos can be displayed. that relate to the cake on the topic. So everything is in its place. What's the diameter of your cake?
Irin, do you have all the sweets flat on?
Irina Dolars
I still had room to the side. I sawed the pills into halves and filled the gaps with them.
zhita
The diameter is small, 17 cm, the height of the chocolates is 8 cm, and without them 6.5 cm. I was afraid to cut the pills, so I inserted it sideways.
tanek03
oh really .. me too .. (starting to prepare for the cake)) a lot of green dragee !!!
Husky
Tatyana, my son-in-law helped me with the green ones. Now there are no more of them than everyone else.
And I made a plate in two versions. One is like Irinka from chocolate, and the other is baked from gingerbread dough. I will assemble two plates and see which one I will install.
Irina Dolars
Dragee with different amounts are placed in packs.
There are more greens. More or less like this:

And I went to my house with a cake, everyone liked it, especially the children. It is convenient to divide by chocolates. We immediately remembered the children's mosaic, and the fact that it was laid out not in a round shape, but in a POLYTOP. If you cut the cakes like a polyhedron, then the chocolate will stand up normally and the dragee will not need to be divided, you just need to calculate everything. I laid out the drawing in size on a napkin, I marked the middle line on the cake and laid it out from it, it's easy to find the middle on the chocolates. And my dragees were different in quantity per color, I tried to pick up a drawing for a long time, there were a lot of yellows, but there were few blue and blue.
Husky
Irin, why did you paint the cream red? Dragee multi-colored. Why exactly red?
Irina Dolars
Why red? Intuitively
Husky
Quote: Irina Dolars

Intuitively

Eh !! Well, then I intuitively covered it with brown. Let's see what happens.
Irina Dolars
Lud, look ...
The red cream is barely noticeable between the pills.
And if the surface is brown, then you will immediately pay attention to the dark gaps

Husky
Oops !! I'll start laying out the first ones, I'll see. It will be bad, I will block it with another color. Oh!! And then I ran out of cream. I cooked the cream right under the calculation of this diameter. We'll keep thinking.
Irina Dolars
Don't be scared ahead of time
Will feel like chocolate
Husky
I made a plate with spilling pills two days ago. And put it in the refrigerator. Now I am punished for my preliminary actions. All dragees "turned gray". I sit and redo it.
Don't repeat my mistakes.
Irina Dolars
How so?
Husky
Ira, I know for sure that you cannot store chocolate and chocolates in the refrigerator. After that he "turns gray". But I could not even imagine that this would happen with colored glaze.
Irina Dolars
Means to put in a box and leave on the table
Thank you. We will know
tanek03
Thank you Lyudmila for the warning !! I just sat down to make a plate with sweets .. a cake for Monday, my daughter .. I thought to make it in advance .. otherwise I’m just worried)))) and then I read it .. and changed my mind .. I thought to put it in the refrigerator then ready to wait for her hours ... and even in a box somewhere .. I will not dare to leave oh, she will explore everything and find
Irina Dolars
Make in advance and carry with you
Husky
Irin, I have a question for you.How long did you keep your decorated cake in the fridge before giving it to customers? All the dragees have turned gray for several hours in the refrigerator. I had to lubricate with oil to remove the "gray hair". And all of it manifests itself and manifests itself.
Irina Dolars
I made the cake at night. Already taken away at lunch
There was very little in the refrigerator.
Irina Dolars
Lud, I thought you already did it again
How to be now? Can you collect a new one?
Husky
So I assembled the plate over a new one. I keep the plate on the table. Everything is fine with her. But the cake itself was decorated with dragee and naturally put it in the refrigerator. This dragee has turned gray for me. There is nothing to redo. The dragee is over (there is only green left. The son-in-law did not have time to eat everything), and there is no more time. They will come for the cake now.
Irina Dolars
And they will put the cake in the refrigerator again until tomorrow Cake with M & M's and Kit Kat chocolate (decoration workshop)
Very strange. After all, this is not pure chocolate, but just colored sugar icing.
Husky
Of course!! I will pack the plate with the package and give it away separately.
zhita
A soft-soft brush, almost without touching, will not be able to "mix" the plaque with the color, you can try it on the damaged plates.
Maybe your cream is different, more moist, somehow quickly turned white, sometimes in extreme heat I put chocolate in the refrigerator, nothing happens for a few days.
And if you put it on "cold accumulators" (though a little is necessary), although now there is such humidity in the city.
Husky
tanya, my cream is buttery charlotte. I oiled it lightly. The gray hair was gone. It seems to have stopped showing through. But the sediment, now on my soul, remained. Something must be invented for the future.
Irina Dolars
Lud, maybe this is happening in your fridge with the noufrost function?
I'll put some pills for the night and check the reaction of the cold to them
It's just icing on a dragee
zhita
I also had butter cream, though the dragee was different, but it lay in the refrigerator for a day and chocolates too, and a little more when I put it on the cake.
Maybe some kind of lid to cover, or try to change the temperature in the refrigerator, now
hot.
