On the most important day, we all strive to please our loved ones. For a person who enjoys fishing, a cake decorated in the spirit of his favorite pastime can be a great gift. Confectionery shops and bakeries today are able to realize any fantasy. But today we’ll talk about how to make a cake for the fisherman yourself. Of course, in order to create such a complex dessert, you will need a certain skill in working with baking.
Cakes
A biscuit is best for working with complex shapes. The cakes from this dough rise well, keep their shape, combine with many creams and impregnations, and do not crumble much during the formation of the product.
Decide what shape your cake will be for the fisherman. The multi-tiered structures look very impressive, which can be decorated with reeds, ducks, diving fish, and a fisherman can be seated at the top in a boat. You can go another way - bake a rectangular cake and make its surface in the form of a smooth surface.
Cream, Mastic, Jelly
In the work we need everything that can be made into decorative elements. Everyone knows that wonderful mastic is obtained from marshmallow candies. But is this the only option? Show your imagination and don't be afraid of experiments! For example, dragee coated with chocolate can turn into coastal stones-naked, and a very naturalistic water surface can be made from blueberry jelly.
Of course, you can’t do without mastic. To prepare it, heat 200 grams of sweets in the microwave and thoroughly knead the mass. Only instead of flour we take powdered sugar (about a pound). To get smooth mastic, add a couple of spoons of lemon juice to it. If you need colored shapes, color the mastic with food coloring. Before starting work, send the finished mass to the refrigerator for an hour and a half.
From the obtained material, you can make the fisherman himself, his vessel, a float, reeds, wild birds, frogs and, of course, many, many fish. Or maybe you prefer one big fish, for example, noble trout? It is possible to put this beauty on a cake for the fisherman. A photo will help you to see how unusual this design looks.
Alternative to sweets - Swedish cake
And who said that everyone loves sweets? If your fisherman prefers salty and spicy, please treat him to a dish such as a sandwich Swedish cake. Its cakes are made from toasted bread coated with butter, mayonnaise and cream cheese, and there are a lot of filling options. To prepare such a snack cake for fisherman's day, layered bread crusts as follows:
- 1 layer - sliced red fish meat;
- 2 layer - grated boiled eggs;
- 3 layer - chopped cucumbers;
- 4 layer - squid meat or peeled boiled shrimp.
Alternate layers and repeat them as you wish. You can decorate the cake for the fisherman with slices of fresh vegetables, egg slices, herbs, shrimp.
