Original sweet surprise
Cakes and pastries decorated with sweet handmade elements are becoming more and more popular. The service of creating such sweets is becoming increasingly popular - such a gift can be presented to both an adult and a child. For weddings create large two-, three-tier masterpieces, decorated with a pair of swans or figures of the bride and groom. At the anniversaries, they usually make sweet numbers corresponding to the celebrated date - 55, 90 years, decorate desserts with the inscriptions "Happy Anniversary!", "Beloved Mom", "Golden Wedding", etc.
Which cake to choose
Children's cakes are very diverse. For newborns, they often order a cake with booties, rattles or hats - in pink or blue. For older children choose jewelry in accordance with the hobbies of the child. A football fan will receive a ball that has fallen into the cake, even with splatter flying around. For a lover of dolls or soft toys, a beautiful woman in magnificent robes or a thick-skinned teddy bear will be seated on a cake.
If the cake is purchased for a child whom you do not know well, you can come up with a decoration with the participation of some famous characters. In recent years, the cartoon "Fixies" has been very popular. In an ordinary house, together with an ordinary family consisting of dad, mother and son Dim Dimych, completely unusual creatures of a bluish color - Fiksiki - live. And they do not just live, but help people to cope with various techniques in the process of their life.
Fixies is just a great idea for creating a cake stylized as this cartoon. You can sculpt one fixative from mastic, add bolts and nuts (of course, also from mastic). Between themselves, the characters, of course, differ: you can create a boy - Nolik, or a girl - Simka. And if you want to portray the whole family, then mom and dad will not be superfluous. It will turn out a very beautiful cake from the Fixiki mastic. Be sure to post photos of the resulting masterpiece on your page on the social network - get a huge number of likes and praise in your address.
Where can I buy
If you opted for such a work of art, the question arises as to where to get such a Fixies cake. You can order it at a store selling pastry, or on the website of a craftswoman creating jewelry from mastic at home. Of course, the pleasure of eating fixative from mastic is not cheap. For a cake decorated with such figures, you will need to pay from about 300 rubles per kilogram.
If the price seems too high, you can create this masterpiece with your own hands. It will be cheaper and give the giver the joy of creativity. Many of them made sculptures of clay or plasticine rather well in childhood, while others even managed to finish children's art school. So the sculptor skills acquired many years ago came in handy! If your hands refuse to serve for the benefit of art and the stomach, molds in the form of fixatives can be purchased in specialized stores, then the result you can’t get confused with anything else.
Cooking mastic
The figurines themselves are made of mastic. You can buy it ready-made or make it yourself. There are several recipes for its preparation, in our opinion, the most successful idea is to use marshmallows marshmallows. They are multi-colored and monophonic. For fixatives from mastic, choose white pieces of marshmallows. We spread them in a deep dish, then we should add warm water and put the bowl in the microwave for two minutes. Marshmallows will begin to increase in volume, which is why the dishes are needed with high walls. Add the icing sugar and mix thoroughly until smooth. Pour food color, of course, blue. It is important to perform this procedure a day before sculpting the figure, since the resulting mastic should lie down in the refrigerator overnight.
Which cake is suitable for decoration
First you need to decide which cake the mastic fixers will decorate. Almost anyone with a cake base and tasty impregnation will do. Perfect pancake cake, sour cream, it is not difficult to bake them, and the whole process will take no more than forty to fifty minutes.
Also, many use ready-made cakes, which can be bought at the store. Usually in the package three to four cakes. For impregnation, we use boiled condensed milk or a cream made from butter, sugar and cocoa.
If you wish, you can cover the finished cake with an even layer of mastic. To do this, put an elastic mass between two layers of cling film and carefully roll out a rolling pin. We wrap the cake with a layer of plastic and cut off the excess. So the product will look very attractive.
Next, from the blue mastic we make a cartoon figure, do not forget about the constant bolts, cogs and a cheerful smile.
Lettering
If a cake in the form of fixings is created for the child’s birthday, you can write congratulatory words, if some other reason, you can decorate it with the name of the cartoon - "Fixies" - or the name of the child. Making an inscription is a rather painstaking task. Large flat letters are cut from mastic layers of the desired color. For volume letters, you can use subtle flagella with which words are laid out. If you have thoroughly prepared and bought forms, then things will go quickly, and the result will be more accurate than with manual molding.
Add small decorations to the cake to your liking, and here’s a masterpiece created with your own hands - a cake with mastic fixings. We are sure that little sweet tooth will be delighted! Present the Fixies children's cake for joy and eat with pleasure!
