2 Eggs, 2 ozs. Butter, a pinch of Salt. MretHop.—Make a Victoria Sandwich in the usual way and fill with Jam or Cream. Then prepare a small quantity of Marzipan, using 2 ozs. Ground Almonds, 14 Tablets of Fondant Icing, Standard Flavour, and 13 teaspoonsful of Water. Warm the Fondant Icing in the usual way with the water, then stir in the Ground Almonds. Prepare the Sandwich so that one side is rounded like a Mushroom, leaving the other side flat. Then brush the whole of the rounded side with a thin coating of Apricot Jam (see page 21). Roll out some of the Marzipan very thinly so as to completely cover this side of the Cake, taking care that it comes well over the edges. Now hollow out the top flat side of the Sandwich and spread liberally with Plain Filling made from Green's Fondant Icing, Chocolate Flavour (see page 22). Ridges should be made in this with a knife from the centre to the outside of the Cake, to give the appearance of the underside of a> Mushroom. Shape the rest of the Marzipan into a stem about 3 inches long and 1 inch in diameter, and place in the centre of the Cake. (Regulo Setting No. 6) CHOCOLATE CAKE.
