A cake with a horse will be remembered by guests and household for a long time because of its unusually original appearance. Of course, it will be tasty if you follow the basic recipe and show a little of your own imagination. In the preparation of such a cake, it is best to use biscuit cakes and a tough, strong cream that does not flow.
Flat illustration
The easiest way to “horse” decoration in this case is to create a flat drawing of the horse on the surface of the cake that has been collected and oiled. Firstly, you can decorate a cake with a horse using crumbs from cookies or scraps of cake, and “pour” the silhouette of a horse or a horse’s head on top with a drawn or downloaded from the Internet and printed stencil. You can create a silhouette with the help of crumbs from dark cookies without cream or other non-pouring additives, as well as with coconut flakes, fine caramel or cocoa. It is important to show imagination.
Secondly, you can draw a horse on a cream cake using a pastry bag or syringe and the simplest thin round nozzle without corrugations. Here you will need to draw the outline first, as in a coloring book, and then carefully fill in all the empty space with the desired color. For greater reliability, you can pre-press the edges of the picture with a stack or a pizza knife.
Thirdly, a flat decoration can be molded out of mastic and placed on a finished future cake with a horse, and around the picture you can decorate the cream as beautifully as imagination, tools and craftsmanship allow: from an ordinary cream with a green dye that symbolizes a green field to decorating it with edible grass, flowers, a rainbow and anything else.
Mastic horse
If the level of craftsmanship is high enough to fashion a beautiful sweet horse from mastic, then you can make jewelry for this beautiful dessert yourself. But do not despair if the sculptor did not come out of you. A horse made of mastic can be ordered at any nearest candy store, and bake the rest of the cake yourself and decorate a treat with a purchased figurine. A cake with a horse for a girl can be decorated not with an ordinary horse, but with a pony, a unicorn or Pegasus - characters from your favorite cartoons. Boys may like a strong horse with a knight in the saddle. Although, who knows, maybe your boy is also a fan of Pinkie Pie or Sparkles?
You can fix the figure on the cake with toothpicks or skewers. The main thing is to make sure that piercing objects are removed from the cake before it is eaten.
Horse Shaped Cake with Cream
For him, you need to bake a few cakes. To prepare this type of dessert from cakes, it is necessary to cut out the components of the horse's head and connect them. All parts must be lubricated abundantly, so the cream must be prepared strongly with a margin. You can also decorate the surface with cream, but it’s easier with mastic. The main part will be the same color. The cake will need to be wrapped with a large layer of mastic rolled into a thin cake, and the edges trimmed. You can press the nostrils, slits in the ears and other small details with a stack to give the horse's head a lot of similarity with a real animal. Harness, eyes and mane must be fashioned from mastic of other colors and again stack small areas on the cake with the horse in a stack.
