So, let's proceed to the preparation of dough for cakes. 200 g of chocolate to melt 50 g of oil. In 1/4 Cup hot water dissolve 1 tsp. coffee.
To remove the zest from one orange and squeeze the juice out of it. I have the oranges were large and of one orange I got a little more than 50 ml of juice.
To combine the melted chocolate, coffee, zest of one orange 50 ml orange juice.
Sift 150g of flour and 50g of cocoa and mix them well.
Separate the whites from the yolks. 6 beat the egg yolks with 100 g sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
To the beaten yolks add chocolate-coffee mixture and sifted flour with cocoa.Mix well until smooth.
6 proteins vzbit with a pinch of salt and continue beating add the 2 tbsp of sugar. Beat until stable peaks.
In three steps, stirring with a spatula from the bottom up to introduce whites into chocolate-yolk mass.
Divide the dough into 3 equal parts, the Bottom 3 forms a diameter of 20 cm to cover the parchment and pour the batter. Bake at 180*C or 350* F. for 30 minutes. Check the readiness with a toothpick (as always, if dry - cake is ready).
Bake until cakes begin to cream. Natiraem zest (without fanaticism) and squeeze the juice from 4 oranges. I got 350 ml of juice of four large oranges. 100 ml leave for impregnation of cakes.
Whisk 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk with 1 tsp corn starch.

Put the cake together. Shape with a diameter of 20 cm setelem with cling film, put the first Korzh liberally lubricated cream. The second cake on top and again cream and third cake. But then a flight of fancy. From top to grease ostatkami cream and decorate with the orange slices. You can fill the cake with chocolate restofline or cover any oily cream. Further depends on your desire. The cake is ready put it in the fridge to rest and soak for a few hours, preferably overnight.
Since it is not a master class in decorating cake, recipe of cake, in few words I will describe how I designed it. Do the easiest oil cream under mastic: 250 g butter, beat with 50 g of powdered sugar. Cover the cake with this cream, trying that would surface turned out smooth. Put into the fridge for 1 hour. Pre-paint the fondant with food coloring to desired color (in this case light green). Roll out the gum paste with a thickness of about 0.5 cm.
Cover cake, smoothing the fondant on all sides, cut off excess.
The bottom of the cake decorate the right color of ribbon (this will be the only not edible the time), of mastic make the flowers and attach them to the ribbon (I did corn syrup). White mastic roll small balls and attach them to the sides of the cake with water or syrup, slightly pressing them to make white polka dots. The Shoe was made in advance of the same postmark. Relieving shoes cake, as well securing corn syrup. All that now remains only to give the cake to the birthday girl.
The cake turned out not very sweet, with a pronounced chocolate taste and a delicate orange cream.
And here is my favorite birthday girl with a cake.
The mold for the shoes.
