It will also be a great gift when you visit. There is no special secret in the preparation of such a dessert. The whole charm is that you simply decorate any pie with mastic, and lay out the figures you want on top. Here you need to work hard to get some kind of cartoon scene or a cake in the form of a typewriter. The main thing is the flight of your imagination, and everything will turn out.
Mastic
The process itself is quite simple, the main thing is to be able to cope with the mastic and remember that it dries quickly. This is a kind of confectionery plasticine, which takes any necessary shape. At the same time, the cake itself can be any one you want. When working with mastic, you must try so that neither moisture nor a drop of water falls on it. Otherwise, you risk spoiling your work.
Color the mastic
Mastic can be completely different colors. To do this, you need to add dyes to it, which have a gel consistency, but in no case liquid. The staining method is quite simple:
1. Mastic must be thoroughly kneaded.
2. Now take a toothpick, dunk in the dye. Then we make a hole in the mass of mastic and dip it with a toothpick (it is intended for single use).
3. Then we continue to knead the mass thoroughly until a uniform color is obtained.
Cake “Mimimishki”, the photo of which is presented in the article, is prepared in the same way as other desserts from this pasta. You can buy mastic in the store, or you can cook it at home just as well. It can be gelatin mastic, from marshmallows, milk with condensed milk or chocolate.
Dessert mastic options
Chocolate mastic is prepared as simple as possible: 200 g of chocolate is mixed with 70 g of honey. Melt and combine both ingredients. Cover the prepared mixture with a film and leave for a day, but not in the refrigerator. Work (spread it) with chocolate mastic should be fast. But with the composition of the marshmallows will have to tinker somewhat. To prepare it, we take 250 g of powdered sugar, 100 g of marshmallows, 90 g of starch, one tablespoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of butter. Melt the main ingredient in a water bath. If you want the mastic to be colored, then a drop of dye is best added at this moment. In the process of melting, pour in pre-sifted starch with powder. Once the mass becomes thick, lay it on a surface sprinkled with powder with starch. Then mix with your hands, lubricating them in front of this oil. After the mass ceases to stick to your hands, wrap it with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
