Cakes for men

Men love sweets no less than women and children. Cakes are especially popular with this. They can become an unforgettable gift, especially if they are original and with a well thought out composition.

Cakes for men should be somewhat more restrained in coloring than children's or women's. Sometimes it's enough just to pick up any sketch of the cake, change its color scheme to a more muted one, and also remove various flowers or bows that decorate it. In this case, two-color gamma, for example, a brown color in combination with red or orange, will look good. Also the dessert in black-white, golden-coffee or dark blue-white tones is perfect. In this case, cakes for men are often decorated with various patterns, geometric patterns or vertical stripes.

A great gift can be baked in the form of a car, a pistol, a dagger, a bottle of alcohol or a dessert of a different original shape. A large number of ideas can suggest a hobby or a profession of a man. Cakes for the anniversary can be made in the form of a corresponding figure.

Consider an easy recipe for making a "male" cake.

"Barrel of red caviar"

Ingredients: seven sponge cakes, three hundred grams of fatty cream, two hundred grams of syrup, two hundred grams of butter and condensed milk, three hundred grams of marshmallow, three hundred grams of powdered sugar, two tablespoons of lemon juice, jelly capsules, one spoon of gelatin, one packet of food color.

The cakes are impregnated with syrup and cream and put in a cold place for several hours. After a while, the cake is taken out, shaped into a barrel, using a mass made from butter, condensed milk and biscuit residues, and put again in a cold place.

Next, before preparing a cake for her husband, prepare the mastic. For this, the marshmallow is placed in a dish for a microwave oven, a small slice of butter and lemon juice is added. The dish is put in a microwave and warmed until the marshmallow is doubled. Then the mass is well stirred, add the powdered sugar and knead until a thick dough forms. The resulting dough is cut into equal strips, cut off the edges and give them the shape of a tree with a toothpick (for this, it is vertically carried over the mastic, simulating the bark). A tourniquet is rolled from one strip, which is fastened along the contour of the cake to form a border, and the remaining strips are placed on the sides of the cake. Next, a few more strips are rolled out, which are fastened to the cake in such a way as to imitate the rings that hold the barrel together.

When preparing cakes for men, use food colors diluted with vodka, it is not recommended to use water in this case. Using a brush, a brown dye color the barrel several times to make the color saturated.

Of jelly orange , "eggs" are prepared. For this, half-cups of jelly are poured into half a glass of water, add gelatin, mix well, cool and put in a cold place. Got the jelly when it is half-frozen, it is put into a confectionery syringe and, using a nozzle for inscriptions, squeezes out a little, removing it with a toothpick and forming eggs that decorate the top of the cake. The finished product is placed in the refrigerator for five hours to freeze.

While the cake is frozen, you can make a spoon from the remaining mastic, which should also be dyed with food coloring. When it is ready, it is put on top.

When preparing cakes for men, you can use alcoholic impregnation of cakes (rum or cognac). At the same time, it is recommended not to impregnate the cakes so that they do not sag.

Thus, baking a sweet dessert to a man, you can combine several recipes, thus creating a unique cake that will not only have a beautiful appearance, but also great taste qualities.
