Sandwich cakes, until recently very popular in Europe, are beginning to win the hearts and stomachs of Russians. The big advantage of this dish is its simplicity, speed of preparation and relative cheapness. After all, the main ingredient is bread (rye or wheat), and the result is a very beautiful, but perhaps a little unusual dish for us. This is another beauty of sandwich cakes. Surprise and amaze guests, because... Few people cook them! But on the table they look very interesting and elegant.
We all eat sandwiches, some less often, some more often. Sandwich cake is a festive version of a very large sandwich. Even perhaps the most picky eaters, children, will enjoy tasting this overseas miracle.
align="left">The products for the layer can be anything - meat, fish, pates, cheeses, herring, cottage cheese... Processed cheeses or butter are often used. But to diversify the color and taste, you can add (first chop and then beat well) cheese (cheese butter) and herbs (green butter), ketchup or tomato paste (rose butter), the same smoked capelin caviar into soft butter (caviar oil). Sandwich cakes can be prepared on both white and black bread; you can alternate layers of white and black bread. You can take round bread or “brick” bread, which you can find in the store, it’s a matter of taste. There are both low and high cakes, the number of layers depends only on your desire.
Before you start making the cake, all the crusts are cut off from the bread. Cut the loaf horizontally into several pieces, their height should not exceed one centimeter. Then the pieces are aligned along the edge. The edges and top of the finished cake are coated (for beauty) with soft butter or melted cheese, mayonnaise, decorated with chopped herbs, green onions, slices of egg, cucumber... There are also many options for decorating the top - shrimp, herbs, grated or chopped eggs, caviar, roses from fish or vegetables...
Sandwich cakes, as a rule, are prepared in advance; they need to be given the opportunity to soak properly, and the cakes should be properly “set” into place. Prepare the cakes 12 hours or a day in advance and keep them in the refrigerator, covered, all this time to avoid weathering.
A slight pressure is placed on the top (on the last cake) so that the cakes are better bonded (glued) together. But you need to decorate sandwich cakes not long before serving, so that they look fresh and not weathered. Round cakes are cut directly on the table, but rectangular cakes can be cut in advance, into portioned pieces (in this case, the top of the cake is decorated after how it will be cut). To ensure that the layers do not move, the cake should be cut with a knife with a thin, long blade), each time wetting it in hot water and wiping it dry.

How to decorate sandwich cakes
Sections are also offered to your attention
Sandwich cake is a delicious and beautiful snack for the holiday table. Let's coincide this recipe with the upcoming New Year of the Horse according to the Eastern calendar and decorate the sausage cake in the shape of a horseshoe for good luck.
Ingredients:
for filling - 10 slices toast bread, 200 g ham, cucumber, tomato, clove of garlic, 150 g cheese, mayonnaise
cold cuts, eggs, olives and vegetables for decoration.
Snack cake recipe
Cut off the edges of the bread for toasting. Place a third of the bread on a horseshoe-shaped dish. Lubricate with mayonnaise and place pieces of thinly sliced ham on top. Then thinly sliced fresh cucumber on top (the first layer is ready).
Place bread again on top of the layer, again grease with mayonnaise, add ham and thinly sliced fresh tomato, squeeze a little garlic directly onto the tomatoes. The last layer is bread again, smeared with mayonnaise.
We grate the cheese and sprinkle it evenly over our horseshoe, especially the sides, since they remain open. Alternatively, you can cover it not with grated cheese, but with portioned slices of thin cheese slices (photo below). Now cover the cake with foil and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight to soak it.
And now, finally, you can start decorating. Cut the boiled egg into thin slices and place along the entire length of the horseshoe in the center. Cut the tomato in half, cut the edges of both halves to make a flower. We decorate the center with a drop of mayonnaise and corn kernels, and place the flowers on the horseshoe.
It's time for the sausage cutting. It is easier to make shaped jewelry from ready-made store-bought cuts; they are thinner and more flexible. We put together all kinds of buds and envelopes and arrange them around the perimeter of the horseshoe. In the middle of the sausage buds are olives. We complement the decoration with fresh herbs.
And here are some more options for decorating a snack sausage cake (the base is the same), the first option is just covered with thin slices of cheese instead of grated cheese, small flowers for decoration made from the same cheese:
The next appetizer is with sausage roses. Master class at the link: . The cake is decorated with cucumber and sweet pepper.
Portioned ham is very elastic, it is easy to bend it into a variety of fancy shapes:
And in this snack cake, fresh cucumber is replaced with pickled one; these same cucumbers also participate in decorating the snack cake:
These are the horseshoes you get for happiness, happiness and good luck to you in the coming New Year 2014!
The day before making the cake, prepare three different fillings and store them in the refrigerator.
Chicken filling: cut boiled chicken into small and thin strips, mix with finely chopped celery, add grated, peeled cucumbers, after seasoning them with vinegar, salt and ground pepper to taste. Add mayonnaise to the mixture to make the filling thick enough and mix. Cut fresh tomatoes into thin slices (but tomatoes should be cut not the day before cooking, but directly during the process of preparing the sandwich cake). The filling is used for the second layer of cake from the bottom.
Egg filling: pit the olives and chop well. Finely chop the hard-boiled eggs and mix with the olives. Season the mixture with mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper to taste and mix. Use the filling for the middle inner layer of the cake.
Filling with ham or sausage: lightly bake the peeled sweet pepper in a dry frying pan, remove the skin and seeds, finely chop. Chop the ham or sausage well or pass through a meat grinder. Mix all products, season with spices and salt to taste. Add mayonnaise and mix the mixture thoroughly. Use the filling for the last top inner layer of the cake.
On the day of making the cake, prepare the final cake filling and finishing mixture.
Last filling: thoroughly grate the processed cheese, grated, adding hot water little by little. If the cheese is not very spicy, add spices to taste. The filling is used for the first, bottommost layer of the cake.
Finishing mass: rub the cottage cheese through a sieve, season with mayonnaise and chopped herbs, add chopped onions mixed with grated cheese, salt to taste. Use the mixture to grease the top and sides of the cake.
Cake decoration.
Cut the crusts from round wheat or rye bread (remove them very carefully from the entire surface of the loaf with a sharp knife). Then, using a sharp knife, cut the bread into 5 horizontal flat cakes of equal thickness, which, very tightly laid one on top of the other, will form the layers of the cake. Grease the bottommost layer of the cake with a thin layer of butter or butter mixture to taste, and spread the top with the spicy processed cheese filling. Place the second tortilla tightly on top of the filling and brush it with half the amount of chicken filling. Place tomatoes cut into thin slices on top of the filling, and place the second part of the filling on them. Place the tomatoes carefully so that they do not protrude beyond the edges of the cake. Place the third layer of bread with egg filling, and spread the fourth layer of bread with ham filling. Cover the cake with the last (rounded) piece of bread and carefully smooth it out with your hands on all sides, removing any possible excess filling. Grease the sides and top of the cake with the prepared curd mass and sprinkle with grated cheese mixed with toasted ground breadcrumbs. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Before serving, decorate the cake with thin slices of radish, onion and parsley. Cut the cake on the table into slices up to 3 cm thick and place on portion plates, garnish with fresh vegetables or vegetable salads. Any options for fillings and finishing mixtures can be made, depending on the capabilities and availability of products for preparing the cake.
Perhaps not a single person could live without sandwiches in his life. Even if we are now increasingly advocating for a healthy lifestyle, giving up unhealthy foods, and starting to eat healthy, we allow ourselves liberties at large festive events, buffets and feasts. Sausage sandwiches, recipes with photos of which we decided to offer you, may be a violation of the regime for some, but they are still so appetizing and tasty.
And at home, when we receive guests, we not only proceed from our own tastes, but do everything for the people. Therefore, if you are planning a festive feast, if you are planning to celebrate the coming New Year in your cozy home with your loved ones and relatives, please them with original snacks.

3. Place a couple of sprigs of fresh parsley on each sausage round, roll the sausage in half and in half again.
4. Place the rolled pieces of sausage on lettuce leaves so that it does not unfold, secure the entire sandwich with a toothpick or skewer, placing half a cherry tomato at the very top.
Sandwiches with smoked sausage “Ladybugs”
Ingredients:
- salty sandwich cookies “Cracker”,
- smoked sausage,
- Cherry tomatoes,
- fresh parsley,
- olives,
- mayonnaise or sour cream (for decoration).
Preparation:
1. Cut the smoked sausage into circles or ovals.
2. First place a sprig of fresh parsley on the cracker cookie pieces, place the sausage on top, and place half a cherry tomato on it in the center.
3. Cut out the heads and legs for ladybugs from the olives, place “these body parts” around the tomato and, using sour cream or mayonnaise, make two dots on the head, as if they were eyes (use rich sour cream or mayonnaise so that it does not spread). Children will be most interested in these sandwiches, but adults will also like them.
Recipe for hot sausage sandwiches
Ingredients:
- loaf,
- creamy soft cheese,
- fresh dill,
- half-smoked sausage,
- hard cheese,
- garlic cloves.
Preparation:
1. Cut the loaf into portioned pieces at least 1 cm thick. Grease one side of each piece with soft cream cheese and sprinkle with fresh chopped dill (due to the soft cheese, the greens will stick tightly to the pieces of the loaf and will not crumble).
2. Cut the sausage into sticks and place them crosswise on the loaf pieces, 4-5 pieces at a time.
3. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater, sprinkle it on the sandwiches, and add a little chopped garlic on top.
4. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 180-190 degrees, place the sandwiches on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
5. Watch them through the oven window; as soon as the cheese melts and a golden brown crust begins to form, remove the sandwiches and serve hot. This is a very tasty and filling snack.
