Next we are going to tell you how to make this dessert, so that you ensure the triumph.
Ingredients
The sweet cakes are based on a polystyrene or polystyrene tray, which can be found in any pastry shop, in different sizes and shapes. That is what you need to get started.
You also need gummy candies, marshmallows, lollipops, and some packaged treats, like chocolate bars or candy, to prevent everyone from touching the treats before cutting the cake. In turn, you will need large rubber bands, toothpicks or toothpicks, aluminum foil and decorative ribbons.
Some use royal icing to glue the sweets to the base, especially if there will be many small children at the party, to prevent them from eating the toothpick.
Whenever possible, try to use chocolate with a high cocoa content. This ingredient contains less sugar and more flanovoids, compounds that help improve health, according to a study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research.
Preparation
Now that you have all the necessary materials, get to work to make a sweet cake:
- Lay the base on the table or in a place where you can work comfortably. Cover with aluminum foil, so it will be easier to remove the sweets when you distribute them.
- Separate the sweets by size; Place the largest ones first, to shape the “cake”. Attach with large rubber bands or toothpicks to each other.
- Place medium and small sweets between the remaining holes. Do not forget to hold them correctly so that they do not fall off.
- To spruce up the creation, cover with ribbons or whatever else you like.
- If it is very hot, it is advisable that you keep the sweet cake in the fridge until the moment of the party.
- Consider where you will place the candle on the cake or if you will have a small cake for the honoree to blow out when making their three wishes.
- When cutting the candy cake, separate into portions of two or three large sweets. It’s as easy as peeling them off and placing them on a plate or napkin.
