Mastic Baby Cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Separate the whites from the yolks. Separate very carefully so that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise the whites will not climb. Put the yolks in a bowl, add half the sugar and vanilla sugar.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rub the yolks well with sugar until they increase in volume and whiten the mass.

3. Step 3:

   

   Place the whites in a clean bowl and beat at low or medium speed of the mixer until a light fluffy foam forms.

4. Step 4:

   

   When all the sugar is added, continue whipping until the whites pour out of the bowl when tilting (or turning) the bowl.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add the third part of the whipped whites to the yolks and gently, from bottom to top, mix.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the sifted flour to the yolk mass and mix well.

7. Step 7:

   

   Then add the remaining whipped whites and very gently, with movements from bottom to top, as if lifting layer by layer, mix the dough.

8. Step 8:

   

   This is how the dough should turn out.

9. Step 9:

   

   We bake biscuits in different shapes in diameter to create a second tier

10. Step 10:

    

    Cut the finished cakes and soak them with syrup. (leave one cake for the crib)

11. Step 11:

    

    Then smear the cakes with each other

13. Step 12:

    

    And of course the sides and the top, preparing the surface for applying mastic, put in the refrigerator.

14. Step 13:

    

    From the cake that we have left, we form a crib

15. Step 14:

    

    Roll out a sheet of mastic and cover our cake with it.

16. Step 15:

    

    Cut a ribbon from pink mastic, we will have a ruffle

17. Step 16:

    

    Along the edge of the ribbon we roll with a wooden stick, so we get a ruffle

18. Step 17:

    

    We apply it to the cake and repeat the procedure, the bottom of the cake will not "hide" by ruffles:))))

19. Step 18:

    

    That's how it is:))))

20. Step 19:

    

    We install our crib on top and make it out also with ruffles

21. Step 20:

    

    I have a special device for fine ruffles, but it can be replaced by the same principle that we used when decorating the bottom of the cake

22. Step 21:

    

    Press on the edges

23. Step 22:

    

    On top "populate the bedspread", decorate with flowers and so on. And of course we put the baby (it is made with the help of a special mold)
