Preparation
Before decorating children's cake with mastic, we are baking the cake itself. The oven is heated to 200 degrees. Form the diameter of 20 cm lubricate with oil and sprinkle with flour.
Flour for biscuit sift and mix with baking powder and salt in a large bowl. We mix the softened butter and sugar into the flour mixture, add the eggs 1 at a time. At the end, vanilla and milk are sent to the dough, then again it is whipped to uniformity and poured into the mold.
Vanilla biscuit is baked for 30-35 minutes. The number of cakes varies depending on your preferences.
While the freshly baked biscuit is cooling down, we will prepare the cream. It's all very simple: soft butter must be shaken with sifted sugar powder, add vanilla extract, a little salt and cream.
At this stage, you need to collect the cake, for this, the tops of the completely cooled cake are leveled with a knife and smeared with cream on all sides. Cover the cake with a thin layer of white mastic. A suitable option for creating mastic can be selected in the article " How to make mastic for a cake? ", Or just buy it in a store.
We proceed to the design of the child's cake with mastic, for this, firstly we roll out the beige mastic and cut out a circle with a diameter of 9 cm.
While the mastic is still soft, it's easy to draw a puppy's mouth on it, which is what we are doing. We are equipped with a simple toothpick, or something sharp.
From the black mastic we roll 3 balls: 2 of the same size and one bit more - this will be the nose and eyes of our puppy. We collect the parts together, the nose and eyes for shine can be greased with sugar syrup.
Roll out the brown mastic and cut out of it two circles of 6 cm. Pull out the circles to make them slightly oval.
Cut the shape of a piece on the top of the ears.
Once the mastic is sufficiently hardened - place the ears on the cake.
To add liveliness to your work, blot a few hairs from the mastic and place them on your head in the form of a mischievous chub. A little of our vanilla cream, squeezed through the thin tip of the confectionery syringe, will also look great as a simulation of hair.
From the pink mastic, you can roll a teardrop shape and press it down with a toothpick in the center - you get a tongue.
Finally, the bottom part of the cake wrapped with a collar band from a thin band of mastic and place on the collar a keychain with the birthday of the birthday.
Your amazing cake from mastic is ready! We are sure that both you and your baby will get great pleasure from such a delicious decoration on the table.
