Preparatory work
So how to cook up a wonderful carousel cake? First, 3-4 days before its creation, make mastic from masticos, animals and toons, and then a “hat”. To do this, draw a circle identical to the cake on the cardboard. You can use the form in which the cakes were baked for this purpose.

You will have the top of the carousel. Decorate it the way you like (divide the stripes of mastic into segments, decorate with mastic colors or patterns). Cut the center of the circle with a tube-leg, clean the cutout with a knife and leave to dry.
