ladybug and babybug

This very tasty and -for us- very cute cake is one of the four cakes that was produced during a one day cake event having totally amateur participants for having fun at modamutfakin Istanbul. These cakes have chocolate cream, labne cheese and ladyfingers as filling and are covered with white and red whipped cream, M&Ms and chocolate pieces.
"ladybug and babybug" cakes are made by Mehtap Kocaman and Ayca Beygo.
modamutfak events are initiated by roomservices

Step 1 Main frame

We choose one deep one small circular bowl to create our ladybugs. First thing is to place lady fingers that are softened in coffee+lukewarm water mixture in our bowl. We also placed a piece of stretch film in order to facilitate taking cake out of the bowl. Hold your ladyfingers in coffee and lukewarm water very shortly because they get very soft far too fast.They should only be easily shapeable.

Ingredients
ladyfingers (400gr)
2 glasses of lukewarm water
2 soup spoons of granulate coffee (nescafe etc)
2 packages of cream ( 200 gr)
1 glass water of milk
150 gr of cream chocolate (nutella etc.)
100 gr of labne cheese (labaneh cheese, or non-salted cream cheese or sour cream might also work)
50 gr cocoa
1 package of small chocolate balls

Ooooo...this looks like yummy fun. My little ones would love to make this. I had an idea, making individual ones, about cupcake sized I guess, but pouring a layer of melted chocolate chips in first, so when you turn out the cake you end up with bugs that are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside! Gross! Oh, wait, no....YUM.

That ladybug would make a perfect birthday gift for my friend! The mini shape and the colour makes the cake look so sweet and adorable. I do hope you come up with more of such mini cakes!

yes, dangerously tasty :) we also recommend to use a bit more filling (chocolate&cheese) materials, since you eat a part of it while making the cake ;)
