- Step 1 Let's start cooking with ganache cream. For this we need white chocolate and cream in a ratio of 2: 1.
- Step 2 Crush the chocolate.
- Step 3 Bring the cream to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate to the cream.
- Step 4 Stir until the chocolate dissolves. It is better to use a submerged blender to obtain a consistency of condensed milk.
- Step 5 Pour the cream into the bowl and close it tightly with a food film so that a crust does not form. Remove the cream in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (can be left overnight or even for several days).
- Step 6 For the cakes we need softened butter, sugar, eggs, baking powder, flour and lemon.
- Step 7 Remove the zest and squeeze the juice of one lemon.
- Step 8 In a large bowl, add all the ingredients needed for the dough: softened butter, sugar, eggs, baking powder, flour, zest and lemon juice.
- Step 9 Slightly mix all the ingredients (so that the flour does not scatter), then whip the dough with a mixer.
- Step 10 Put the dough in the mold.
- Step 11 Bake in a preheated oven to 180 ° C for about 50 minutes (for a shape 17 cm in diameter).
- Step 12 Finished biscuit cool and cut into 3 cakes.
- Step 13 Prepare a classic lemon cream.
- Step 14 Lubricate the bottom cake with cream.
- Step 15 Do the same with the rest of the cakes. We do not lubricate the top with cream.
- Step 16 Take out the chilled ganache. If it is too thick, stir it for a few seconds.
- Step 17 Lubricate the top and sides of the cake with chocolate ganache.
- Step 18 To smooth the unevenness, use a hot metal knife in boiling water.
- Step 19 For sugar colors, take mastic, dye and molasses. You can immediately purchase the mastic of the desired color.
- Step 20 On the powdered surface, roll a small plate of painted mastic.
- Step 21 Make cuts on one side.
- Step 22 Next, roll the plate with a tube. For reliable "gluing" the petals we use molasses on the tip of the toothpick.
- Step 23 Cut off the excess mastic at the base of the flower.
- Step 24 In this way, we make the necessary number of colors and leave them to dry for several hours in a closed container at room temperature.
- Step 25 Next - your flight of fantasy. Flowers can be planted directly on ganache, or pre-wrap the cake with mastic. Good luck in your work!
