Close the moulds, leave on ice until ready to serve; dip in warm water and raise the birds on a foundation of a Five-minute Cake that has been split and spread with strawberry or raspberry jam. With a small cutter puncture out little pieces from the cake to give the bird the space to rest in. Decorate with chopped aspic in between each bird; cut the center out of the cake and fill it with sweetened flavored frozen whipped cream; garnish with a wreath of spun sugar around and a rosette of it in the center. This is a beautiful dessert for either lunch or dinner. Peaches may be used in place of apples.
