How to decorate a cake for Halloween?
Having a ready-made cake at hand, you can easily decorate it with the holiday theme, adding just a few minor details. For example, within the framework of this recipe we use the classic red velvet cake and turn it into a themed Halloween delicacy with the help of figurines of birds made from mastic. At the output is a horrible delicacy, the decor of which, as if inspired by Hitchcock's films.
Roll out the black mastic and cut out the birds from it, using a special cutting or a form of cardboard and a sharp knife. Ready birds put on a baking sheet and send to freeze for half an hour.
Sponge cakes for "Red velvet" cover the cream to your liking and make small holes in them, taking out the crumbs of the red pulp of the biscuit.
Place the frozen figurines of birds on the cake in the places of the cut out holes.
Sprinkle everything with the red biscuit crumbs around.
