Cake with mastic roses

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To decorate a festive cake with roses, you need: white mastic - you can cook it yourself or buy a ready-made one; powdered sugar - for working with mastic; shapes for cutting petals and leaves; toothpicks for fixing roses, lemon fork, scissors, brush; cake - you can decorate any cake in this way, necessarily covered with cream for mastic; water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Roll out the mastic into a thin pancake large enough to cover the cake.

3. Step 3:

   

   Carefully, so as not to damage the mastic, cover the cake with it.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fingers on the sides of the cake create a drape. Thus we simulate the fabric.

5. Step 5:

   

   Use the mastic trimming next.

6. Step 6:

   

   Roll out a small pancake, introduce a red dye.

7. Step 7:

   

   Knead the mastic to the desired uniform color and roll it into a thin pancake.

8. Step 8:

   

   With a round shape of the desired size, be it a glass or a special shape, we cut out circles - these will be rose petals. One rose needs from 7 circles.

9. Step 9:

   

   Wrap the first petal in a tube.

10. Step 10:

    

    We wrap the first one with the second petal. Lubricate a little petal with water

11. Step 11:

    

    With the third as well - lubricate with water and wrap two petals.

12. Step 12:

    

    And so, petal by petal, we wrap in a circle and make a rose.

14. Step 13:

    

    In this way we make the number of roses necessary for decorating.

15. Step 14:

    

    The roses will turn out oblong, so we cut off the ends of the flowers with scissors.

16. Step 15:

    

    Knead the green mastic, roll it into a pancake and cut out the leaves from it.

17. Step 16:

    

    With scissors we make notches on each leaf like real rose leaves.

18. Step 17:

    

    With a fork for lemon, we make streaks on the leaves.

19. Step 18:

    

    Everything is ready, let the mastic dry a little.

20. Step 19:

    

    As soon as it dries, we begin to decorate. Lubricate the cake with water on top.

21. Step 20:

    

    Beautifully lay out the roses on the cake. Decorate with leaves.

22. Step 21:

    

    Insert half a toothpick into the rose.

23. Step 22:

    

    And attach the roses to the side of the cake with toothpicks.

24. Step 23:

    

    Let's sum up the final touches of decorating the cake. While the mastic dries up to stable stability, we do not allow the decorations to settle. Flowers and leaves can be prepared in advance, a day or more. Then the decorating process will be easier. Now the cake is decorated and ready to please the household!
