My Birthday Cake with Marzipan 2012

 I share with you my birthday cake

    for this year 2012.

 This is the first time I prepared
    a Marzipan Cake.

To be honest with you, I was always

    scared of preparing a Marzipan cake,

I was wrong, this cake is very very simple,

     all you need to do is to follow the steps

in the video.

I will give you very important tips

while looking at the pictures.

First of all, in order to have a fluffy cake

     you need to sift the flour several times.

  Grind the almonds very fine,so that when you squeeze the paste with your fingers, oil comes out. 

When you put the dough in the mold,

    tap it on the surface to release the air.

As you can see on the picture, you will
get a golden and a fluffy cake,

perfect for Marzipan cake to succeed.

    Here is my toy of the week, just place the cake inside and cut in several layers, up to 8 layers.

  You get equal layers.

It makes life so easy (for me ).

As I mentioned in the video, you can
 
leave the batter as it is, if you

do not want to add chocolate.

    It is very important to spread the marzipan on

    powdered sugar, because it sticks very easily

on your working surface.

    You should move it from time to time.

You can do better than me, if you
   have a plastic spatula like this.
  I don't have it and I never thought
I would need it. I'll buy it soon inchaallah.

Do not limit yourself, use

what you have at home.

    Let me tell you something, when I usually start
making a birthday cake, I never imagine

how my cake is going to look like, especially the decoration. I began working with what   
I had around the house so that I wouldn't be

wasting too much by buying things

just to make one cake and then discard the rest .

Come on friends ! it's easy, follow

    the steps on the video, take pictures

and send them to my address.
