For the basics you can bake any cake. I bake very simple one that has never failed me, the recipe I published here. It is easy: beat eggs, add sugar, beat again, add sour cream and soda, beat again, add flour and bake. I baked in two shapes, 14 cm in diameter, but the circles they are still too wide.

Every baked piece cut in half, get 4 pieces. Of the last, the very top of our mugs make the future "bumpers" circles, for this I'm just out of shape cut the middle.

Each part grease regular cream (cream + sugar to taste), and the upper part just installed on top.

Next, prepare the marzipan. According to the technique described in Dashi, I have a marzipan didn't quite work out, so I went a slightly different way: the almonds ground in the blender, sugar filled up with water, cooked syrup. When the syrup has cooled down and will last, add the ground almonds and, stirring constantly, warm up on low heat for about 5 minutes. Next, allow the marzipan to cool, skip it through a meat grinder together with cocoa and roll out on a dusted with powdered sugar table. From the resulting mass roll the sheet and wrap our mug. Unfortunately, all this, step by step, I failed to photograph, but to do all this is not difficult.

Handle for mugs I made from pieces of cake left over when we cut the bumpers, fitted as marzipan and "stuck" to the circle. On the circle of the same marzipan made the words "BEER" and whipped cream from a container made of foam. That's all!

And it's our mug in the cut. ALL MEN ON A HOLIDAY!!!
