 Cake "Winter Honey" Recipe
I decided to dilute the classic taste of my favorite dessert with meringue and nuts. It turned out the most winter combination: honey, nuts, spices. This cake was baked for my eldest son's birthday. There are no indifferent people left, and we have a new version of the cake "Custom-made".

  14. Lightly whisk the homemade sour cream and add the milk caramel. Continue whisking until the mixture is well mixed and fluffy. Do not overdo it, otherwise you will get a lump of mass in oil and whey! You can prepare and store sour cream 25-30% using a thickener for sour cream (I prepared it because it didn't work out after working at the market, it didn't work out to buy it home) or sour cream, after weighing it in gauze (at least 4 layers) or dense fabric.

  16. I was assembling a cake box, so my design turned out a little different. I baked cakes for the cake and parts of the "box" in size. Templates and number of parts: Cakes - 18×20 cm - 5 pieces Decor-7×18 cm -2 pieces 7×20 cm - 2 pieces 3×9 cm - 10 pieces (8 for decoration, 2 spare)

  17. The corners of the "box" were fastened with melted chocolate, and all this was fixed before leaving the cake to soak. Let the cake soak and, before finishing the decoration, smear with cream, lay out the berries, remove the fixing tape. The sides of the "box" can also be decorated with cream imitating melting snow or icicles.
