For every children's holiday, I want to come up with something interesting. A great way to diversify the table is to serve an unusual cake. Such an attribute will not only please children, but will also be remembered for a long time.

Not so long ago, cakes decorated with mastic came into fashion. With the help of delicious material, you can create culinary masterpieces without even having the skill.

Pony Cake

This cake is just one of the products created especially for children. Its convenience is that the base can be absolutely any: biscuit, sand or puff. What is really important are the elements that will cover the surface of the sweet dessert.

Interestingly, even if the base is not attractive or tasteful, thanks to decorations, it will be transformed into a highlight of any holiday. Children's cakes "Pony" will please any kid.

Mastic is a thick mass, similar in consistency to plasticine. Toothpicks and stacks may be needed to process it, so sculpting shapes from it can also be a great educational activity for a child.

Cooking mastic

It does not contain harmful ingredients, especially if you cook the product at home. For its preparationwe will need soft marshmallows (50 grams), which can be bought at the store, food coloring in several colors, butter (100 grams), powdered sugar and lemon juice.

First of all, you need to mix the marshmallows and butter, heat (you can do this in the microwave by placing the ingredients in it for 25-30 minutes) and mix again. Then you need to heat the mass again and add powdered sugar and lemon juice (to taste). By dividing the dough into several parts, you can add multi-colored dyes. The Pony fondant cake should be rainbow colored, so lemon, blue, pink and other bright colors are best.

Make pony figurines

Despite the fact that the whole process looks difficult, in reality everyone comes out a winner. Cake "Pony" (a master class on its creation consists of the same steps: making mastic and creating figurines) it is easy to learn how to decorate it yourself. Creating figurines from mastic really resembles clay modeling. To make a pony, you first need to start with the body and make a thick sausage for the body and a small bun for the head. We attach the head and torso, bending it so that we get a neck, and then we remove the seams. To make it come out without any extra marks, you need to wet your hands with water.

Pull out the legs from the torso. You can make this more convenient by first stretching the front and back legs in the center and cutting them into two parts. So the figure will gain stamina and will not fall. If the material loses plasticity, you can warm up the figurine in the microwave a little.

On the head you need to draw a mouth, nostrils and make small indentations for the eyes. To make the eyes, you need to smear three small pieces of mastic in white, blue and black and stick them sequentially on top of each other. From the dough of the same color as the body of the pony, we sculpt the ears, helping ourselves with a stack or a toothpick, and attach them to the head. Small black threads will serve as eyelashes.

The most important part is coming, namely the preparation of the mane and tail. As you know, in the popular cartoon My Little Pony there are a variety of horses. If you want to create one of these looks, then the manes will be an important aspect of the whole picture. Going through the hair with a toothpick can make it more realistic.

Preparing the base of the cake

Lonely ponies standing in the middle of a biscuit field don't look very nice, so it's better to prepare small decorations for small horses. The main thing is to connect the imagination, and maybe the fantasy of the child: you can cover the "Pony" cake with white icing and "plant flowers", or you can use the same mastic and create a night sky. Landscape painting always looks prettier anyway.

It should be noted here that it is easier to apply mastic on a sponge cake, although this depends on individual preferences. The base should be generously greased with butter cream and covered with a thin layer of our dough. With the help of water, even a child will make the mastic obedient.

Finally, you canset the pony, also creating interesting scenes and fixing the exposure with water. Despite the fact that it is easier for masters and experienced chefs to prepare such a dish, everyone can try themselves and become a professional. The uniqueness of the cake allows you to use a variety of ingredients in its preparation, which is very convenient when the supply in the kitchen is limited.

The cake is ready

Now the dish is ready to serve. Among the additional decorations that complement such a cake, there are inscriptions, edible stars, grated chocolate, nuts. In general, while cooking, the kitchen turns into a pantry of fairy tales and adventures. Cake "Pony" can be a wonderful gift for a child, the main thing is not to make him feel sorry for eating such beauty.

Other works of culinary art are created by the same principle. In fact, even with only your imagination and some ingredients, you can turn your dinner and party table into a fairy tale.
