Flowers are one of the classic decorations of any cake. Among the most popular is the decor of the rosebuds. They can be molded from cream, but this will require not only a confectionery bag , but also a special nozzle, and therefore simple, but spectacular roses made of mastic can be an alternative.
Roses from mastic - a master class for beginners
There are various levels of difficulty in the formation of colors from mastic. Each of them is determined not only by the realness of the bud in the end, but also by the tools that will need to be used in the course of the work.
In this master class, roses are formed in a matter of minutes and nothing, except a pair of hands for their modeling will not be required.
Roll a piece of pink mastic into a bar and flatten it.
Fold the resulting strip with a "snail".
Roll a pair of balls from the mastic, and then also flatten them with your thumb on your palm, forming a petal.
Attach the petal to the "snail".
Repeat the same with the other ball of mastic. Strengthen all the new petals until you achieve the desired appearance and bulk bud.
Dry the finished roses before placing them on the dessert.
How to make roses from mastic by own hands?
To mold more realistic roses, you will have to exert a little more effort and delicate work.
Roll the drop-shaped form from a piece of mastic, put it on the skewer and place it vertically.
Roll out the remaining mastic evenly and cut out the flat drop-shaped petals.
Lightly roll each of the petals with a small rolling pin, especially focusing on the wide part.
Apply a small amount of water to the narrow base of the petal and wrap it around the drop-shaped frame.
Apply the lobes one by one until the flower has the desired volume. Before making a cake with roses from mastic buds should be allowed to dry.
How to make roses from mastic at home?
The most realistic flowers will come from those who have enough experience and special equipment at their disposal.
For this rose, you will also need to prepare a drop-shaped frame and fasten a cut petal on it. The edges of the petal for realism have been processed by a tool for modeling with a ball-shaped tip.
Having fastened several of these petals, cut out a few identical shapes with a special cut in the shape of a flower.
Walk along the edges of the received flowers with the same spherical tip.
Lubricating the drop-shaped frame with water and placing it on the skewer, plant the prepared flowers on the skewer, fastening each of the layers with a drop of water.
Allow the roses to dry.
