The computer game Angry Birds ("Angry Birds") today has gained such momentum in popularity,
that migrated to all kinds of devices, caps, t-shirts. And the characters of the "shooter" - green pigs and colorful birds - found their embodiment in plush toys and even ... in cakes. The idea belongs to Mike Cooper, who presented such an original gift to his son for his sixth birthday. Russian children also succumbed to universal fever by throwing birds in pigs. Why not give them joy and make the Angry Birds cake with their own hands?
The basis for the culinary masterpiece can be any cake. Children are very fond of sweets, so you should choose honey dough - it is baked into layers of even shape, holds loads perfectly - that is, a host of our birds, that is. To save time, you can buy ready-made cake layers for Honey cake or make Angry Bears cakes from wafer sheets, fastening them with condensed milk mixed with mascarpone cheese. In a word, the foundation does not really matter. After all, the main thing is the characters located on top of the confectionery.
How to make Angry Birds Cake? With the help of multi-colored mastic, armed with a brush and a knife with a sharp tip, even a person with “both hands left” will cope with this. Remember plasticine modeling in kindergarten, recharge with a good mood and, having connected imagination, proceed. To prevent mastic from sticking to your fingers, dip them in flour from time to time. If the material is too soft and easily deformed, add powdered sugar.
Angry Birds cakes are first coated with glaze - these are the seats for our birds. By the time of decoration, the fondant should solidify well. First, we make the bodies of birds. This is a supporting structure, to which small details will be molded later, therefore it must be solid enough not to deform. Make a blue ball, a red cone, black "bombs". Focus on images from the popular game so that the characters are recognizable.
When the bodies of malicious birds harden (this will happen the next day), you can proceed to gluing the details - tails, beaks, crests, crests, eyes and eyebrows. To attach a fragment to the base, dip the brush in water and swipe over the junction. Fondant will soften a little and for a while will acquire the property of plasticine. If all the birds are made, and there is still room on the cake, put a couple of pigs made of green mastic on the Engry Birds cakes.
When the parts have dried out a little and no longer bend under your fingers, it's time to take a thin knife or even a needle. With a sharp tip, we work out small details: grooves on the sides of the beaks, pupils of the eye, tousled feathers and crests. Now it is important to stably plant this feathered kingdom on Angry Birds cakes. So that the birds do not fall off during serving, and especially when cutting the culinary masterpiece, they should be placed on skewers. The junction will be a white circle of culinary mastic, attached to the bottom of the figure with water. Skewers easily stick into the dough and steadily hold the character.
