Savory snacks that look like cakes are relatively easy to prepare and are collected in layers, like a sweet treat. There were a lot of fillings invented, and today we have selected those that contain herring in their composition. The filling is very similar to Forshmak, and in some cases it is.

Wafer Cakes with Herring - General Cooking Principles
Herring cakes with herring are made from wafer cakes, which are easy to buy at retailers. If you know how to cook these cakes yourself, use them.
The most convenient square or rectangular shape of the blanks. The cakes formed from them are easier to cut into identical, neat slices. In the absence of such forms of cake layers, it is possible to assemble from round blanks.
For wafer cakes, you can use both salted and smoked herring. Try to choose a large, well-fed fish. It is more fatty, which means the snack will be tastier.
Herring is mainly prepared forshmak, which is used to coat cakes, less often they are shifted into sliced herring. In addition to fish, blanks can be smeared with cheese and specially prepared mixtures of eggs, vegetables, mushrooms and cheese.

We put another cake and put on it mixed with mayonnaise eggs. Laying the remaining wafer cakes, alternate layers in the same order, and the top, we smear the brightest stuffing - beetroot.

Wafer cakes with herring - cooking tricks and helpful tips
You can not use a lot of mayonnaise or fry components in a large amount of oil, the cakes will quickly soften and the effect will be lost. If the browned mushrooms or vegetables contain a lot of fat, fold it in a colander so that excess oil is drained.
Do not cut the molded wafer cake with herring right away, let it stand in the cold for at least an hour and a half. The filling during this time will well soak the cakes and the cake will be cut into neat pieces.
