How to make figurines from mastic - an allowance for beginners
Perhaps the easiest way to decorate a cake will be placing a beautiful bow on its top. Such decor will be appropriate to look at the celebration for any occasion.
To form a bow, first roll a piece of mastic and cut out of it a long rectangle.
Divide the rectangle into three: two pieces of more equal size and one smallest.
Protect the edges of each of the pieces together.
Fold a pair of napkins into a roll and wrap both wide strips of mastic around them, connecting the edges together.
The edges with protectors, attach to each other, lightly moisten and connect with the remaining small piece.
The resulting figure of mastic for the cake should completely dry.
How to sculpt a figure from mastic - a master class
To make spectacular flowers for decorating a cake does not have to be a professional confectioner, but it is necessary to have some special tools with you.
Roll out the mastic and cut out flowers of different diameters. In this case, it is better to use special cutting, but you can do with stencils from a thick cardboard.
The edges of each of the colors work with a tool for mastic with a ball-shaped tip.
Dip each of the flowers into a bowl with a little sugar powder, and then leave each to dry in any semicircular container.
When the mastic becomes firm, connect the layers of colors together with a slightly dampened brush. Lightly squeeze all the layers in place of bonding.
Instead of the flower-paste from the mastic in the center of the flower, you can simply fall asleep a pinch of sugar beads.
