Instructions
Step 1
Start by whisking the egg whites with a pinch of salt and granulated sugar until you achieve a strong foam. This will create a light and fluffy base for your biscuit.
Next, gently fold in the egg yolks, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Once combined, sift the flour into the mixture and carefully incorporate it using a spatula.
Transfer the batter to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 165°C (329°F) for about 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to avoid overbaking.
After baking, let the biscuit cool, then use a cookie cutter to cut out circles for your mini cakes.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until it becomes fluffy and well-combined. This will serve as your delicious topping.
Add a drop of food coloring to the mixture and mix gently until the color is uniform. This will make your decoration more vibrant and appealing.
Step 3
Now it’s time to assemble! Take your cut biscuit circles and pipe the cream cheese topping onto each one using the provided piping tips. You can create beautiful rosettes or swirl patterns; the choice is yours!
To finish, sprinkle some decorative sprinkles on top for an extra touch of charm. Don’t forget to add a little candle on top for celebratory moments. Enjoy your delightful creation!
