Maria Shabalina has recently become known to TV viewers, as she actively participated in several television projects and TV shows. But often the audience is not seen enough on the TV screen, I want to look into the backstage and get to know the characters of your favorite TV shows.

From the creative village to the capital

Maria Shabalina, whose biography originates in a small urban village called Palekh, was born on May 27, 1989. It combines the image of a simple but purposeful Russian girl. Long since its native village Palekh was considered the center of art of Ancient Russia, in which ancient crafts, including miniature and icon painting, were actively developed. The fact that Maria Shabalina deeply appreciates her creative homeland, is evident from the fact with what love in one of the projects she responded about the embroidered shirt from her grandmother-embroideress. And Maria herself is quite a creative person - she likes to write poetry, play the piano and sing.

Family life and "tasty" work

After finishing school in Palekh, Maria moved to the city of Kineshma, located in the Ivanovo region. There she lived for 5 years, got married and from there she moved with her husband to Moscow, where they began to live in a rented apartment. In Moscow, a young woman began to bake cakes, cooperating with her husband, who took over the reception of orders.

It's easy to see that custom-made cakes from Maria Shabalina please her customers, because she often likes to try something new and prepares not only tasty, but beautiful desserts using mastic stucco. In addition, Maria Shabalin bakes cakes-giants, one of them weighed about 30 kilograms. Over the shoulders of the master experience in the manufacture of several hundred cakes already, and Shabalin believes that the main thing in this business is taste and beauty.

One of the recipes of her cakes clearly demonstrates this. For example, to make a cake "Painted box" you need: finished chocolate cakes - 3 pieces, 100 ml of pineapple syrup, 150 g of dry cream mixture, 200 ml of milk and 100 g of peanuts. To make a cream, you need 1 can of boiled condensed milk and 200 g of butter. The second cream is chocolate, and for it you will need 1 jar of ordinary condensed milk, 200 g of butter and 100 g of cocoa powder.

First you need to whip dry cream with milk and make a chocolate cream: beat the butter and gradually enter there boiled condensed milk. With butter cream everything is the same: add the usual condensed milk and cocoa powder to the beaten oil, carefully mixing everything. To form the cake itself - cover the lower cake with a culinary ring, soak it with pineapple syrup and cover it with plenty of cream with boiled condensed milk, then sprinkle with peanuts. On the second, also syrup-soaked corn, you need to put a large layer of whipped cream, and on the third - a layer of chocolate cream. And, finally, we take off the ring, smear the sides of the cake with cream, sprinkle them with poppy seeds, and decorate the top with slices from the strawberry. Yes, none of the sweet tooth will stand!

Participation in TV shows

The name of Maria Shabalina became known to the viewers, since she was already in five projects: "Therapy-therapy", "Dress me, please," "Maiden-peasant woman", "Party dinner" and "Rublevo-Biryulyovo". Maria Shabalina admits that thanks to this experience of participating in TV projects she is no longer afraid of cameras or shootings. Although this is not easy, because in the programs in which she took part, it was necessary not only to look good in the frame, but also to behave naturally and with dignity. In one project, she even managed to win. As it was, let's take a closer look.

Maria calls guests for dinner

Of all the projects in which Maria Shabalina took part, "The dinner party" deserves special attention. It was there that Maria was able to demonstrate not only her culinary skills, but her ability to receive guests. The show "The Dinner Party" is published every week on REN TV. People from different ages, backgrounds and professions take part in it. The bottom line is that five participants take turns to visit each other. At the same time, each of them has the same budget and must adhere to equal conditions when buying food for cooking dinner. In just 3 hours the participant with the help of the host - Grigory Shevchuk or Alexander Kovalev - should prepare 3 dishes: a snack, main course and dessert. In addition, he needs to think over the entertainment for four guests, so that the evening was not only "delicious", but also boring.

The complexity of the project is also that at the end of the dinner, the participants present their grades for dinner. Considering that each of them has its own culinary experience, tastes and preferences, it is not difficult to imagine how much effort is required to please them. However, all these difficulties did not prevent Maria from winning the 360th week of the project. It is interesting that the participants of that week had to fight for victory in especially difficult conditions, since the budget of the menu was only 2 thousand rubles instead of the usual 5.

The long-awaited victory

The dinner menu included: Kineshma salad with potatoes and veal, as the main course - "Pork in the Volga" with pineapple, and for dessert guests enjoyed a wafer "For the Beloved" with cream cream. Salad "Kineshma" got its name in honor of the city of Kineshma, who played a role in the life of Mary. The salad recipe, which includes potatoes, veal, leaves of Peking salad, walnuts and mayonnaise, is quite simple. Although Maria had to hear and criticize him, on the whole the guests appreciated not only the tender taste, but also a beautiful presentation.

As for the main course, the participants liked the look, aroma and taste of veal with pineapple. When making dessert, difficulties arose, because of which the wafer tubes did not turn out in the form in which it was intended, but this did not affect their taste, the guests were satisfied. In the aggregate, the impressions from the dinner were displayed in 210 points, which Maria received from the project participants, which brought her the long-awaited victory and ensured participation in the Super Guard. But participation in it was not so favorable.

There are also gray days

To surprise the guests participating in the 361st week of the project, Maria included in the menu a salad "Palekhskaya Mimosa" with saury, the main course was beef with mushrooms "Golden Ring" in sour cream sauce, and for dessert, guests could taste the "Painted Casket" cake with Cream with condensed milk and butter. Although the first two dishes on the guests, unfortunately, did not produce the expected impression, they simply could not resist the mouth-watering cake.

A huge amount of strawberries, nuts and tender taste left no one indifferent. Yes, Maria's experience, efforts and talents were not in vain, although they did not bring her victory in this case.

Maria Shabalina has already demonstrated her many skills and talents, it is quite possible that Russian viewers will hear about her many times.
