How to make a cake "Lego" from mastic

So, in order to build a cake in the form of a lego we will need:

• multi-colored mastic ;
• a tube for cocktails, any stick or toothpick (blunt), which easily enters the tube;
• ruler;
• water with a brush,
• knife;
• rolling pin;
• food marker.

1. Cut the tube, leaving about 4-5 cm.
2. We select a wand, which will serve us as a pusher.
3. Mastic is rolled into a layer 4-5 mm thick and extruded circles.
4. We help with a stick to push out the jammed parts.
5. We will need them quite a lot, especially if the cake is covered with bricks.
6. Now we again roll out the layer of mastic, with the help of the ruler we squeeze out hardly visible strips to lay out the circles in even rows. Lubricate the entire surface with water.
7. We spread the mugs, at the end we still level with the help of the ruler.
8. And we cut out details of different sizes and shapes.
9. Similarly, we cut out shovels from mastic of other colors. We produce parts, observing approximately the same proportions.
10. Now we start to make a little man, for this we roll two identical balls from the mastic. First roll out the rolling pin to a thickness of 8-9 mm.
11. Cut off excess parts on the sides to get a rectangle.
12. We retreat about 5 mm from the bottom edge and make a horizontal groove with a knife. Now from the bottom make a vertical incision, but not to the end, leaving about 1/3. Pants with two identical trousers are obtained.
13. We'll go into the second ball, we'll roll it out the same way as the first in a rather fatty cake.
14. First we trim the edges to make a rectangle, and then cut off the corners from the top.
15. We spend with a knife a strip from below, the same as on panties.
16. We moisten the upper end of the first part with water and insert a toothpick into it.
17. We will do our hands, roll a small roller and cut it into two equal parts.
18. From the side of the cut, we make small indentations with the writing side of the pencil or with a special instrument.
19. From the light mastic we cut the circles and remove the middle in them to get the rings. For this purpose, the tip from the ballpoint pen is good. We cut off part of the ring to make the details like this.
20. Wet the ends of the handles with water and place the parts into the recess, pressing them together slightly.
21. We begin to make a head, for this we roll the ball and make a small flattened disk. We fix them with water.
22. From the dark mastic we carve a thin circle and glue it on the head. Superfluous pruning.
23. Draw the person's face with a confectionery marker. We collect a little man, attach hands to the trunk, moisten the top with water and insert a toothpick, attach the head.
24. Marker draw details of work clothes. A toothpick can give a relief to the hair.
25. We tighten the cake with a mastic of a not very bright shade, so that the detail on its background looked more juicy.
26. And we proceed to decorating, guided by our imagination.
27. For texture, you can cover the top with the same circles that were used in the manufacture of lego parts.
28. We decorate the cake with little men and the remaining multi-colored bricks.

As you see, decorating a dessert in the style of "Lego" is not at all difficult. Using this technique, you can create completely different cakes, adjusting to the preferences of a small birthday.
