The brave Russian paratroopers terrify the enemies of our country. To serve in the Airborne Forces is a dream for any soldier, because these troops are considered the elite of the army. Throughout its history, “Uncle Vasya’s Troops” had the opportunity to take part in many armed conflicts, where the fighters proved their valor and courage.
On a professional holiday on August 2, I would like to especially congratulate real men who have ever served in the landing. The recollections of the fighters of the elite special forces who happened to be at the war usually give the bitterness of irreparable losses. Therefore, it does not bother to sweeten this professional holiday by preparing a delicious and beautiful cake of the Airborne Forces.
Dessert decoration for your favorite paratrooper warriors
The filling for the goodies can be made according to any recipe you like. The main thing, in conclusion, to decorate pastries in the style of elite troops. You must completely rely on your imagination, because there are a lot of design options for the cake for the paratrooper. You can draw a vest or beret using mastic. It will be much more difficult to design a cake in the form of military equipment, for example, to make a cake of the airborne forces in the form of a tank, plane or gun.
Design options
Many bakeries are wondering: “How to decorate a cake for Airborne Forces Day?” The most common decor option is a blue beret, the emblem of "Uncle Vasya’s Troops", a paratrooper with a parachute, the sky or a rainbow. A simple design for the airborne cake is the image of a vest on the top of the baking dish. This pattern is created using sweet mastic. In this case, almost any figure can be drawn from edible material.

Variety in design
Above is the easiest cake recipe you can think of. In addition to cream or multi-colored mastic, you can write on baking a congratulation on your professional holiday, the name of the paratrooper to whom you want to present such an original gift, or just 3 letters: “Airborne Forces”.
If you have a desire and a little patience, you can try to make a more complex and original baking. To do this, use the same mastic as a decoration. It is presented in a wide assortment in food markets. Using such dyes, you can create a real work of confectionery art.
Non-edible elements can also be used as decoration, for example, toy soldiers, tanks or an airplane placed on the top of the airborne cake. Plastic figurines are set on a birthday cake by analogy with candles. This will have the desired effect on the defender of the Fatherland. Before contact with food, it is recommended to rinse the toys thoroughly with an antibacterial agent!
