History of Original Delicacy
M & Ms are popular chocolate balls coated with colored glaze. They conquered the world long ago. These sweets can be found on the shelves of more than 100 countries. The letters M and M are the initials of the founders of the dragee manufacturer Mars & Murrie’s (Mars and Murray).
They are used as a cake decoration. A scattering of colored dragees attracts attention and causes indescribable children's delight.
Features of the preparation of the cake "Mmdems"
The advantage of this cake is that the recipe for its preparation is based on the imagination of the cook. Each time you can come up with new variations, and take as a basis a classic, chocolate or honey sponge cake, cooked with your own hands. And you can not work, buy ready-made cakes.
A cream base made of Mascarpone cream cheese, butter and condensed milk, chocolate, cottage cheese or custard will serve as an excellent addition. You can use berry, coffee or jam impregnation.
Nuts, dried fruits, poppy seeds, coconut flakes are emphasized and double the taste. Only the decoration remains unchanged - dusting with sweets M & Ms.
Varieties of cake design
M & Ms cake decorating is room for creativity, it all depends on the performer’s imagination.
We offer several design options.
- To the edges of the cake (tightly pressed, to each other or with an overlap) we place cookies to make a “fence”. To make sides of it, where to pour M & Ms.
- The next option is to use Kit-Kat chocolate instead of cookies. We break it into 2 strips and line it up vertically, tightly attaching to the cakes and fixing with a cream. We set the chocolates tightly to each other and decorate them with a festive ribbon around the circumference. Then sprinkle the colored sweets of EM & EMS, distributing as required by the subject.
- The surface of the cake using Kit-Kat chocolate sticks is divided into sectors. Then pour M & Ms into the compartments. You can pour them randomly or arrange the sweets by colors in each sector. The result is a pie chart.
- You can dilute M & Ms with nuts or marmalade, chocolate figures or a fancy candy. The main thing is that decorations should completely hide the cake cakes, creating the image of a chocolate barrel filled to the brim with colored peas.
