Cake “Hedgehog” - cooking tricks and useful tips
• Biscuit cakes are preferably baked for 12 hours before the formation of the cake. During this time, they will have time to rest in bed, which will facilitate grinding on a grater. In addition, it will reduce the ability to absorb the cream and the dessert does not exactly crawl.
• Before making needles from seeds, place the cake in the fridge for half an hour to thicken the layer of cream mass. The seeds will keep better and the likelihood that they will fall out will decrease.
• As a decoration of the cake “Hedgehog” you can use cookies in the form of mushrooms, jelly “berries”, pieces of fresh or canned fruit, flowers and leaves of mastic.
