Photos and Models of Decorated Candy Cake
The confectionery world is always innovating, mainly because we are always curious to try something different. The bonbon cake can have different types of dough, fillings and even decorations. Below we separate the types of cake that are most successful at parties and please all palates.
Strawberry Bonbon Cake
The strawberry is a fruit that brings a touch of acidity to the cake, so it combines very well with sweeter fillings, as is the case with dulce de leche. With this fruit the candy is not nauseating, moreover it has a beautiful color that draws attention. It is literally to eat with your eyes!
To use strawberries in the decoration of the bonbon cake it is important to decorate it on the same day that it will be served. This type of fruit spoils quickly and must be kept in the refrigerator. If you do not have time to decorate on the same day of the party, for example, it is better to forget the idea of decorating with fresh strawberries.
Truffled Chocolate
The truffle chocolate bonbon cake is delicious, especially if you use semi-dark chocolate. The term truffle refers to the type of filling that has ganache in the composition, which can be white chocolate ganache, dark chocolate, milk, with nuts, among many other perfect combinations.
In this type of filling, we just do not recommend using hydrogenated chocolate or topping type. These chocolates have a lot of fat in the composition and are more suitable for making the cone. In the filling, it tastes like grease in the roof of your mouth and is super unpleasant, it comes out cheaper, but the quality of your candy is also lower.
Carrot

Giant Bonbon Cake
The giant bonbon cake is ideal for serving the whole family and even serves as a birthday cake. To make this size the tip is to use a pie acetate packaging, it is very easy to get out of the shape.
The tip is to leave this cake half an hour out of the refrigerator before serving, so the chocolate is a little melted and you will be able to cut more easily to take the slices. Another tip is to lightly heat a knife in the mouth of the stove, so when cutting the chocolate it melts and is not at risk of breaking.
Mini / Small
The small bonbon cake is ideal for a person to eat alone, as it takes the corresponding one portion of cake. It is a good option for sweeter fillings, as it is not nauseating. Here are some options for this type of bonbon cake:

Roof
- 500g topping or tempered milk chocolate
Mounting:
- Fresh strawberries
- 300ml of milk to wet the dough
- Acetate shape the size you want to make the cake. If you prefer to make the mini cake, buy several molds to make at once. If you can’t find your own shape for that purpose, it also works with cake packaging.
Preparation mode:
- Let’s start making the dough so that it cools down until it is time to assemble the bonbon cake. Start by separating the eggs.

- Grease the pan with butter and flour.
- Pour the batter and bake in the oven previously heated to 180 degrees.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until you notice that the dough is golden brown.
- Test the toothpick. Stick the middle of the cake, if the toothpick comes out clean it is a sign that the dough is well baked. If it comes out dirty, let it bake for a few more minutes and repeat the test.
- Let the cake cool.
- Mix all the ingredients of the filling in an ovenproof dish with the exception of the cream and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes.

- Mix the cream to make your kiss more creamy.
- Now let’s make the bonbon cake cone. Melt the topping chocolate in a double boiler.
