Making a beer cake

Option with two tiers and a single pallet with strapping

When time is running out or if there are only a minimum of materials available, you can create a composition simply but tastefully. Consumables:

• Beer in an aluminum can – 25 pcs., in a glass bottle – 1 pc.
• Double-sided tape.
• Colored tape.
• Crepe paper.
• Satin ribbon.
• Foil.
• Cardboard.
• Wire.
• Postcards.

To make a beer cake in cans with your own hands, you need to follow simple step-by-step instructions:

• First, two circles are cut out of cardboard, their diameter determines the diameter of the product. This should be done with an eye to the number of cans that should fit on them, provided that they are glued together. That is, only one circle provides usable area. The denser the cardboard, the better; material from the bottoms of boxes for equipment is excellent.

• The cut circles are glued together; you can use glue or double-sided tape. If you use double-sided tape, just cut out two long strips and stick them in parallel at the maximum distance from each other.

Important! To carry a beer can cake, you should use a tray or other solid support, since few cardboard can support such a weight.

• The glued circle is wrapped in foil around the circumference, after which the foil is carefully folded so as not to create large folds.

• First, seven cans are installed in a tight circle to secure them: one in the center and six around it.

• Next, they need to be carefully wrapped so that at this moment no gaps form between them, otherwise, as the diameter increases, they will become more impressive, and the structure will begin to wobble.

• Now the first circle of cans is surrounded by the next, wider circle.

• Next, you need to carefully, so that the cans remain standing tightly, secure them by wrapping them with tape in a circle.

• A belt is cut out of crepe paper, perhaps not a whole one, but from several pieces, which will fit all the cans along the outer radius. Its height should be 2/3 of the height of the beer container. It is better to secure the belt with double-sided tape. After its arrangement, the belt is tied with a strip of satin ribbon.

• The second tier begins with placing a glass bottle in the very center. Six aluminum containers are placed around it, after which they need to be tied with tape.

• The outside of the top row is also covered with crepe paper and tied with ribbon, just like the bottom row.

• Using two different colors of ribbon can make a pretty bow, although you can do without it.

• One or more postcards will be needed to enhance the design's aesthetics. To install them on the wire, its lower end must be secured to the ring on the valve.

• Fish bouquets are perfect as an additional decoration, as well as a very appropriate edible addition. For this you will need any paper and tape.

Mini option with pizza and snacks

If the recipient of the gift not only loves foam, but also likes to eat well, you can make a simple and very tasty beer cake in cans with your own hands with plenty of treats.

Consumables:

• Beer in cans – 7 pcs.
• Purchased semi-finished pizza – 1 pc. If you have the appropriate culinary skills and a stove, you can make pizza yourself; fortunately, there are countless recipes on the Internet.
• Snacks. Depending on the size of the paper “sockets” in the ring, there will be from 8 to 10 of them, respectively, they can be filled with each unique snack or partially repeating ones. For example, you can use salted peanuts and pistachios, dried fish, beef, pork or squid, hunting sausages, chips and anything that goes with foam.
• Ribbon.

In order to make a cake from beer bottles with your own hands, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions, as described below:

Step-by-step recipe with photos

The other day it was a friend of our family's birthday. For dessert, I was assigned to make a cake. I didn't have to think long about the design. For a man who loves a foamy drink, I prepared a “barrel of beer.” Under the sensitive gaze and tips of my husband, such a brutal barrel came out, the husband noticed: “Viking barrel”)). The gift created delight and a storm of emotions. The effect has been achieved.

Making such a cake is not very difficult. The size of the barrel can be changed and the wood imitation can be different.

You can complement the “Beer Barrel” cake with mastic crayfish.

I first made a sponge cake for 4 eggs, then for another half portion. You can make all the dough at once and bake in one form, or divide the volume into 3 parts and bake in two or three batches.

Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy and white. Add milk and butter, mix with a spatula.

Combine cocoa, flour and baking powder.

Sift into the egg mixture.

Stir with a spatula until smooth.

Line the bottom of the pan with baking paper and lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil. Lay out the dough.

Bake at 180 degrees until done (check with a dry wooden stick). Cool the biscuit.

Cut the biscuit into layers. I got 5 pieces. I left the top of the head on the sides of the cake.

For the cream, take chilled cream and powdered sugar.

Whip the cream to soft peaks, add powdered sugar and beat until stiff.

Slice the banana thinly.

Let's start assembling the cake. I did it in a ring. Soak the biscuit in milk and add a layer of banana.

Add cream. I divided the cream into 4 parts and measured it on a scale.

Flatten. Cover with biscuit and soak again.

Alternate biscuit with cream. I only put banana on the first and third biscuits.

Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Remove the ring.

Sprinkle the edges with biscuit crumbs to hide the cream.

Beat soft butter with powdered sugar. Level the cake with cream.

Now the decoration. Unfortunately, it was not possible to take a photo. Paint the mastic brown. Roll. Cut a circle to fit the diameter of the top of the cake. Place circle on cake.

Measure the height of the cake. Roll out the mastic into a long strip. Measure the size using a ruler and trim off the excess. Wind the strip onto the rolling pin and, gradually unrolling the rolling pin, wrap the cake in a circle.

Apply stripes all over the cake, I also colored it dark.

Make two identical stripes from black mastic, glue them to the bottom and top of the cake, lightly moisten the cake with water. Also make a faucet from mastic, letters and rivets on strips.
