How to cook an original Christmas cake in the form of Santa Claus:

Prepare the dough and leave it for a while. When the dough has risen, divide it into two unequal parts. Most of the roll out dough to form an elongated triangle with rounded corners for the head. Smaller portion divided by 2 pieces. The first smoothed his hands, giving it an oval shape - it will be a beard.

With a sharp knife or scissors cut the beard into strips 1 cm. Take beard with both hands and gently put on the face of Santa Claus. Gently peel off the beard hairs from one another and slightly tighten. Form the dough from the remaining whiskers, nose, hat and pompom. 2 Make the cut for the eyes with a knife, insert raisins.

In piala need to whip egg yolk, add red food coloring or beet juice. Stir, cooking brush to put it on the nose, cheeks and hat of Santa Claus. Separately, beat the yolk still, spread remaining batter.
