Cooking from mastic

You can prepare and decorate a cake by applying culinary mastic - its use opens up very wide possibilities for decoration. Now many companies make such cakes to order, but not everyone can afford them. We will help you make dessert at home, at no cost. Do not doubt your strength - it's easy!

  3. Gradually pour flour into the resulting dough and mix until the dough becomes a homogeneous consistency.
  4. Leave in the refrigerator for about an hour and a half.
  5. Then, when the dough is infused and cooled, divide it into six equal parts and roll it into thin round cakes.
  6. Paste the cakes with a fork and put in the oven to bake at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. Each cake is baked for 10 minutes (focus should be on the color - it should become golden).

While preparing the cakes, we will do the mastic.

Of course, it can be purchased at a shopping center, but for a cake with a complex plot design, there may not be enough flowers, so mastic can also be done with your own hands and painted using food colors.

Cooking:

  3. It must be divided into several parts and each of them mixed with the desired amount of dye.
  4. After that, the mastic is thoroughly kneaded and left for several hours in a cool place.

To make one part of the primary color mastic by quantity more than the rest - this will be the base cover of the cake.

We collect the cake: cakes are laid out on top of each other, layers of various flavors and toppings are evenly spaced between them. You can grease the cakes with cream, condensed milk or chocolate paste. The most important thing is to let it soak well so that the dough does not seem dry.
