What exactly is a number cake?
Number cakes consist of 2 or 3 layers. For the dough you could choose between shortcrust or sponge cake. In between there is a dimensionally stable cream, which is formed into small tuffs using a piping nozzle. Cream cheese frosting, vanilla pudding, chocolate – you can use almost anything as a cream. But the best thing is neither the dough nor the filling, but the decoration - there are no limits to your creativity. Create a beautiful and edible work of art by decorating the cake with fresh fruit, macarons, meringues, assorted candies or even edible flowers.
