Sandwich Cake

While preparing food for a birthday party I realized that the best appetisers where the fun ones! Therefore, the idea of having small finger-food sandwiches has been replaced by a sandwich cake! It looks like a cake, you cut it like a cake, but... it`s a sandwich!

• White sliced bread (16 slices)
• 400gr of cream cheese
• 400gr of smoked salmon
• Lettuce
• Half cucumber
• 2 carrots
• Mayonnaise
• 3 small avocados
• 4 salad tomatoes
• 1 can of tuna
• 1 Olive

Non food stuff: baking paper;toothpicks (you can even use spaghetti) and a round base tin (although, this is optional because is mainly used to shape the cake, while, for an easier version, the cake can remain squared shaped).

You can fill the sandwiches as you like! Pepperoni, ham, cheese, mozzarella... the more the merrier!

It`s a new concept, and people will be surprised!

Shape the baking paper as the same size and shape of the chosen base. Cover the baking paper with mayonnaise to ensure that the bread sticks on the paper.

Place 4 slices of bread ensure that the straight sides are aligned.

Prepare the tuna. Drain the can of tuna and place it in a bowl, add 4 spoons of mayonnaise and mix.

Ensure that the tomatoes, the avocadoes and the salad are sliced and ready to filled the sandwiches.

This can be done as you like! I personally added:

bread - a layer of mayonnaise - smoked salmon - salad - avocado - bread - tuna and mayonnaise - tomatoes - bread - mayonnaise - smoked salmon - salad - tomatoes - avocadoes - bread

Cut and shape the edges of your cake (make sure that all the external parts of the bread are cut). Once the desired shaped has been achieved cover you cake with cream cheese.

Ensure that the cream cheese covers all the empty part in between the slices of bread and cover you cake as you are icing a sweet cake!

Decorate your cake as preferred.

(Tu ensure that the flower shaped carrot pieces stayed together I used a spaghetto).

Cut, and eat!
