Spicy chocolate cake in little sweet boxes

Caixinha doce 3

t’s barely a month away or a bit more for Christmas. That, will be, this year .celebrate in my home.

So,I think that treat was perfect for Zlamushka event A spoonful for Christmas

I love to make many sweat treats in Christmas’s eve and also in New Year’s Eve. I usually make them in individual shape, so, that they can be consumed at the end of the night while they accompany with a glass of foamy, coffee or tea .And the individual shape allows that the leftovers can be use 25’s brunch. So, as I have time, I am evaluating some new things, as these sweet small boxes that I made starting from a spicy chocolate cake, filled with condensed milk cream.

Assembly

caixinha doce

Fill the cake squares with the condensed milk cream; pass a fine layer of marmalade of your preference stops well to adhere to the pasta to cover cakes.

Stretch the pasta in rectangular and fine form and cover the cakes with the sweet pasta to covered cakes, remove the excesses

Cut in tapes the pasta in the size of the lateral ones and hit on the lateral of the same ones.

With the elastic modeling pasta cut another tapes and press the two extremities in the center forming a bun it. Cuts other fine ribbons and cover the center of the buns to give the termination. As the elastic pasta dries off and it hardens, cuts other tapes and give movement like in the photo. Cut the tips in diagonal; hit those to the buns after dry painting with egg white

Finally put up the bun on top of the cakes.

I paint the buns with non toxic mother-of-pearl color
