Three-dimensional chick decorated cake

Overview

Since I have been thinking about various three-dimensional shapes, I will start with the chick shape this year, and then slowly try other shapes.

Bring the light cream + butter to a boil and turn off the heat
Add chocolate while still hot
Stir with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted
Add the powdered sugar to the egg whites in two batches and beat until stiff peaks form, as shown in the picture when the beater is lifted up and a sharp corner forms
Add egg yolk to warm step 3 and mix well
Pour in the mixed and sifted powder (cake powder + cocoa powder) at one time
Fold in the whipped egg whites
Mix the batter quickly
Pour into the mold, shake it a few times to knock out air bubbles, and bake at 150 degrees for 50 minutes
After unmoulding, cut the cake into two pieces, place the smaller one on top of the larger one, and then trim it slightly to make it rounder. I forgot to take a picture
Beat the buttercream until fluffy and set aside
A slice of cake, a layer of buttercream
Use a piping tip No. 349 or No. 352 to extrude feathers all over the body, and cut circles out of the trimmed cake base to make eyes
Make it golden brown, and use a No. 16 or other star decorating tip to pipe out the mouth and top of the head
Use chocolate ganache to pipe out branches around the plate
Place mounted daffodils, green leaves, and sprinkle with sugar beads for decoration
