Sweet gift for any occasion will not leave anyone indifferent. A suitcase with money, made in the form of a cake, is unusual and original. It is very easy to do it with mastic. A hand-made cake can be presented to your loved one both on your birthday and on February 23.

To make a "Suitcase of Money" cake at home, no big expenses are required. You do not need the ability to use pastry bags, as they will not be useful here. To complement the cake, you can buy chocolate coins. If you haven't found them, then make them out of mastic.

Inventory list

In order to simplify the work with mastic and make it easier to complete the "Suitcase with Money", you need the following tools:

• silicone mat for rolling mastic, knife, rolling pin;
• foil;
• scissors and any spatula;
• iron, which is designed to level the mastic;
• brushes, adhesive gel;
• baby juice tube;
• foam sponge;
• vodka;
• brown dye, preferably liquid;
• golden kandurin;
• coins.

The cake can be decorated with banknotes, both real and edible, which are sold in special pastry shops. You can also use various beads that can be eaten. To complement the "Money Suitcase", you can hang a label on it, it can also be made of paper or edible mastic.

Cooking

Take any rectangular cake as a basis, it will be easiest to bake a biscuit, and the cream can be made as you wish. Cover the top of the cake completely with cream, then give it the shape of a suitcase, smooth the corners, make the top rounded. But the corners can be left sharp, it's not so important.

Prepare the mastic. Any, both purchased and made independently, will do. It is easier to buy ready-made coins, but to make them at home, you need to cut out circles from mastic, paint them with gold kandurin and dry them.

Assembling the cake

Start with the simplest, namely with pens:

1. Make an imitation of a pen out of foil.
2. Cut out a curved strip from the mastic. Place a piece of foil inside and roll up.
3. Glue the edges of the handle.
4. If there is too much, then you can cut it off with scissors.
5. In order for the pen to be believable, you can draw stripes on it to represent the seam.

Next, move on to the bottom of the cake. Roll out a long strip, wrap it around the bottompart around the circumference. It should be half the height of the cake. Follow the directions below:

1. Glue the strip carefully, there should be no air in it, and make a seam at the back.
2. Bend the top edge a little inward, use a kitchen spatula for this. After that, you can proceed to the top of the cake.
3. Roll out a large sheet to cover the top of the money bag. To release excess air, use a flat iron, if not, use a regular jar lid (sterile or new).
4. Cut off the bottom excess, but leave a little overlap on the bottom.
5. We also deepen the upper part inward using the same spatula.
6. Aligning the sides.

Cake decoration

The last stage remains, there is nothing complicated in it either, let's start:

1. Cut out two strips. They should be twice the length of the cake.
2. Cut off each strip at an acute angle (on one side only).
3. Prepare two small rectangles for decoration.
4. Make four harnesses: two longer and two shorter.
5. Long give a horseshoe shape, short put across, it will be a plaque.
6. Glue the handle carefully.
7. Glue small stripes on the bottom of the cake from the outside.
8. Make an imitation stitch, you can use scissors.
9. In large strips, make holes with a straw.
10. Glue the straps along the entire length of the suitcase. But first pass the ends throughclasp on the sharp side, then also glue.
11. To make the clasps have a golden color, cover them with gold kandurin.
12. Dilute the dye with vodka, use a sponge to paint the entire cake. For a vibrant color after drying, you can repeat this procedure several times.
13. Put bills and coins into the joints of your suitcase.
14. Pin the tag on.
