Making an owl cake is much easier than it might seem at first glance. If desired, it can be decorated with cream or mastic. In both the first and second cases, sponge cakes with different impregnations are suitable as a basis.

Cake base

To prepare the sponge cake, we need to break 2 chicken eggs, preferably chilled, in a deep bowl. Add 150 g to them. sugar and beat well with a mixer until foam forms. During the beating process, you need to gradually add 150 grams. flour and 10 gr. citric acid. Add vanilla to taste. Beat until smooth so that there are no lumps. Pour the finished mixture into a round mold, previously greased with butter. Place the form in the oven. The oven must be preheated to 180 degrees. On average, the cake is baked for about 40 minutes, but more is possible.

After you remove the cake from the oven, you need to cool it. While the cake is cooling, start preparing the cream.

If desired, you can prepare cottage cheese or sour cream. We use milk as impregnation.

After the cake has cooled, cut it into three parts. We soak all the cakes and spread them evenly with cream. Place the coated cakes in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Let's start decorating the owl cake. If desired, you can decorate with cream or mastic. Let's consider both options.

Cake "Owl" made from cream

To decorate such a cake, you will need to prepare two types of cream:
- chocolate-creamy;
- creamy.
We will also need chocolate candies with icing and round chocolate or regular cookies.

To prepare the first type of cream, take 100 g. dark chocolate and melt it in a water bath. In a separate saucepan, bring 110 ml of cream to a boil, adding two tablespoons of powdered sugar. Then pour hot cream into the melted chocolate, leaving to cool for 3 minutes at room temperature. Add 35 gr. butter. Now the cream can be mixed and placed in the refrigerator.

Prepare the second cream from 100 ml of milk, 250 g. butter, 200 gr. powdered sugar and one packet of vanilla sugar. Mix all ingredients with a mixer until smooth and place in the refrigerator.

Now we proceed to the stage of decorating the owl cake. We take out sponge cakes coated with cream and begin to draw an owl on them using a pastry bag. Coat the top layer with butter cream. We cover the owl's body with cookies. After this, using a pastry bag, we begin to draw the remaining elements of the owl with chocolate buttercream, alternating it with buttercream. Place half a cookie in place of the eyes. Place chocolates on top of them.

Cake "Owl" made from fondant

An owl can be made from mastic in several ways. It is best, of course, to use homemade mastic. To do this, take one package of marshmallows and place it in a deep bowl. Add one tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Microwave for a few seconds until the marshmallows begin to melt. Now you need to add a glass of powdered sugar and half a glass of starch. As a result, a thick, homogeneous mass should emerge, which is wrapped in cling film and placed in the refrigerator for a day. To make the mastic different colors, you can buy food additives and add them along with powdered sugar. Before you form the owl on the cake layers, the entire cake must be covered with one layer of brown mastic, as in the photo below.
