Cooking

Cake you can bake according to your favorite recipe or use mine. It is really easy. Softened at room temperature butter (I TM"Ekomilk")mix with sugar, vanilla sugar and salt.

Stir in the eggs one by one, each time after adding the eggs beating well, better with a mixer, but you can just whisk.

Flour mixed with cocoa and baking powder and gradually sift into the egg-butter mass, mixing thoroughly. The dough should have the consistency of thick cream.

Bake at 180 deg. about 20 min. to dry the sample on a toothpick. Ready cake cool on a wire rack and let it lie there for a few hours. I left for the night, no covering.

Make a flower pot. You can use the cups from foil (sold in pastry shops). You can make your own. In a suitable sized glass put the foil and carefully press down along the walls, grease the foil with vegetable oil.

Chocolate melt in a water bath. It is advisable to take chocolate with good fluidity, if it's not, add vegetable oil. Pour the melted chocolate into the bottom of a glass, tilt the glass and rotate around its axis, evenly distributing. I have it streaming not wanted, so I helped him out silicone brush, you can teaspoon. Try to make the walls thicker, so the pot is not too fragile. Put the glass in refrigerator to harden chocolate.

As a filler you can use what you like-any thick cream, mousse, ice cream. I made bread pudding. You need to mix the sugar (2 table. spoons)of flour (1 table. spoon from top), add the egg (or just yolk), mix well.

Stirring constantly, pour a thin stream of boiling milk, put on a small fire and continue all the time to stir, bring to thick. Remove from heat and add butter, stir. Put a container of pudding in a bowl filled with cold water and stir, allow to cool. Cover with plastic wrap so that it touches the surface of the pudding.

To make the flowers. You can cook them in the mastic, I'm not able to work, so did the recipe from the "Cook" ("Rose candy", the author of the Sweet dessert deleted). I'll tell you briefly:candy need to stretch my hands, I put in the microwave on defrost for 30 sec., because I got candy"oak"). Then I roll the candy into a thin cake and spiral turned floret, lower the excess weight cut.

Next, make biscuit crumbs, it is better if it will be uneven, more like the earth.

The pot freed from the foil and coat in cocoa. We put it on the surface where you are going to serve dessert, put in a filling.

Pour on top of crumbs and gently pushed the pot. You can, of course, just to put it in, but in the first method obtained more realistic.

Add more crumbs, simulating scattered the ground, insert the stem of mint, to lay flowers. I made another pot, and the pieces put in as"shards". Here and ready our original dessert, Bon appetite and good mood!
