Carefully remove the shortbreads from the cream and put the first layer of the shell on the dish. We smear with cream. On the sides we insert oblong cakes - legs, neck and tail. We attach a round cake of the head to the neck with cream.

Lay the next layer on top of the first layer. We put cakes one on top of the other with a decrease in the circumference of the layer. We smear with cream again.

The next layer of shortcakes will be of a very small diameter. Thus form a shell"turtles".

Lubricate the finished shell with sour cream on top and put in the refrigerator so that the cream “grabs” a little.
