How to make a fairy from mastic. Cake decorating workshops

This is the second part of the master class. It is also the final one. I showed how to make a fairy head. Now, you can proceed to the body and wings. I spent a lot more time fiddling with this. The humidity in the room was 80%, so the figure did not want to dry and keep its shape. I had to insert several toothpicks into the body and trust in time. Fortunately, I started making the figure in advance.

1.Arms and torso. We sculpt from flesh-colored mastic. Let it dry.

2.Legs. According to the idea, the fairy seemed to be sitting on the edge of the cake, so one leg was bent a little more than the other.

3.Dress. We fashion a dress from green mastic. We will insert the legs into the skirt and wrap the torso into the bodice.

4. We cut the hem of the dress with a zigzag and connect the blanks, having previously smeared them with glue.


5.Insert the head on a toothpick into the body, smearing the joint with glue. Trying on the handles. If you are worried that you might miss with long arms, then you can do them at the very end. I glued them to the figurine already installed on the cake.

6.Wings. We make the frame of the wings from wire.

7. Cook a very thick, non-sweet jelly. I tinted it blue. When the jelly begins to set, carefully lower each wing into it and remove it so that the inside is filled with a gelatin film, like a soap bubble. Let it dry. We tie the wings together and insert them into the back of the fairy.

8. Cover the dress and cake around the figure with gold powder (food coloring). I had to make a bow from leaves around the waist, since the figure did not dry out to the desired state. The fairy could have fallen forward from the shaking while delivering the cake. But if you are lucky and the humidity is not as high as in my case, then you can do without it :)

I hope you found my MK interesting and useful, I will be glad to see your comments :)

A mastic cake will decorate any children's party. The cake filling is strawberry mousse with lemon sponge cake.


Ingredients for "Mastic Cake":
Chicken egg (for biscuit) - 6 pcs.
Flour (125g for sponge cake, 1 tbsp for mastic cream) - 140 g
Sugar (140g for sponge cake, 250g for strawberry cream, 1 tbsp for mastic cream) - 400g
Salt - 1 pinch.
Lemon zest - 2 tsp.
Cream (33%) - 400 ml
Gelatin (instant) - 1.5 tbsp. l.
Strawberries (frozen) - 700 g
Water (for gelatin) - 70 ml
Milk ((mastic cream)) - 100 ml
Butter - 60 g
Jam (for soaking and 1 glass of water) - 3 tbsp. l.
Mastic (for decoration) - 350 g

Biscuit (I made it 1 day before the holiday, then it is easier to cut and it becomes very fragrant - lemon).
1. Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt at low speed, then gradually increase the mixer speed and add some of the sugar. Beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
2. Add the second part of sugar to the yolks and beat them until a thick white mass.
3. Combine the whites with the yolks using movements from top to bottom.
4. Add sifted flour and stir in from top to bottom.
5. Add the lemon zest grated on a coarse grater and gently mix it into the dough.
6. I lined the baking pan with oiled parchment and laid out the dough. Place the biscuit to bake in a preheated oven for 40 minutes at 180C.

Strawberry cream
1. Grind frozen strawberries in a blender. Place the strawberries in a saucepan, add sugar and cook, stirring constantly over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
2. Pour boiling water into a bowl, add gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. If there are any lumps left, strain.
3. Pour gelatin into the strawberry mixture and stir immediately.
4. Whip the cream and add the strawberry mixture at room temperature, while whisking with a mixer.

Cut the biscuit into two parts and soak it with diluted jam in water. Place the sponge cake in a separate baking dish, then fill with cream and place the sponge cake again. Place the cake in the refrigerator overnight.

Cream for mastic
Pour milk into a saucepan, add sugar, flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk so that the mass is homogeneous. When the cream thickens, remove it from the heat, add the butter and stir until dissolved.

Brush the cake with the cooled cream and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Decorations
I printed the fairy on the computer. Sprinkle the table and mastic with starch. I rolled out the mastic and applied the design to the mastic. I squeezed out a fairy along the contour with a modeling tool, cut it out with a paper knife and trimmed the edges. I colored the fairy with liquid food coloring. She used an A4 sheet to separate the fairy from the table.
I made red, blue, and yellow colors from white mastic: adding a couple of drops of dye to the white mastic and mixing it. Rolled out and cut out flowers.

I rolled out a large circle of fondant on a silicone mat and transferred it to the cake. I didn't cut the edges, I decided to leave it like that.
I smeared the flowers and the fairy with water and glued them onto the cake.

As promised - MK on caramel wings for fairies.
1. Prepare a wire frame of the desired shape, be sure to leave a long tail of wire, then you will understand why. Make it as even as possible so that it completely adheres to the table surface.
2. I used simple orbital candy. They melt unevenly. As soon as I saw that it was boiling in one place and there was a whole caramel in another, I pulled it out and stirred it with a toothpick. This must be repeated until bubbles begin to appear immediately on the entire surface of the caramel. It looks like this:

3. Here's what I used to make the wings:


4. When the caramel has boiled, quickly, until it is liquid and begins to thicken, fill the frame from the center to the edges. If you didn’t manage to fill the entire wing at once, remove the caramel and start again. It should look like this:


5. Then, when all the wings are finished, add coloring to the remaining caramel and decorate the wings with a toothpick. The main thing is not to forget that the caramel must be heated until it boils; thick caramel will not do much. My result was like this:


6. When the wings are ready, take the tails and fold them several times, then twist them to make a tail made of wire about 2 cm, it should be strong, because the wings are heavy. We stick the tails into the back of the fairy, the wings try to fall from the weight, fix them on top with mastic and cover all the obscenity with hair. As a result, I got Bloom:


I hope I explained everything clearly. Let me warn you, before I got anything decent, I went through 5 packs of candy and burned all my fingers. Good luck to you!

A cake with mastic fairies will help make a girl’s birthday the most beautiful and fabulous, because almost every girl believes in their existence and loves watching cartoons with these little adorable characters.
In this master class I will show you how to make the Tinkerbell fairy from mastic, as well as several other fairies.

Fairy Tinkerbell made of mastic

I made the head of the Tinker Bell fairy using mastic. I attached it to the body with a toothpick. I break off the sharp ends of toothpicks for safety.

The most important thing is not to forget to warn children and their parents at the holiday that there are toothpicks inside the mastic fairies.

I decided to make the Tinkerbell fairy while sitting, so I placed the legs against the edge of a suitable glass. I wrapped the glass in cellophane so my feet wouldn't stick to it.

The top of the Tinker Bell fairy's dress is a strip of thinly rolled out mastic.

I made the bottom of the dress from separate leaves. Then she connected the top and bottom with a thin belt, which she aligned with the top of the dress.

The Tinker Bell fairy's hairstyle consists of cut-out pieces of mastic in the form of individual strands of hair stuck to a base. I make the base for the hair from a cut out thinly rolled circle, which I glued to the fairy's head - to the part where her hair should be.

I also made the wings of the Tinker Bell fairy from mastic. I used an aster mold - its petals just resemble fairy wings.

We put shoes with bells on the fairy, sculpt hands, paint the face (I described the design of the eyes below) and our fondant Tinker Bell fairy is ready!
Fairy Rosetta from mastic

To sculpt Rosetta's head, I also used . Attached it to the body with a toothpick. This time I made the body slightly elongated towards the bottom - like a doll’s, to make it easier to attach to the legs. I made both legs bent, since she was supposed to be sitting on bent legs.

Next, I connected the body with the legs and gave the figure a stable position.
I made the dress from fondant in two shades of pink. The color transition was made by merging two colored stripes. I just laid them one on top of the other, making notches, and secured them with a rolling pin.

The top of the dress is also striped. I shaped it with a suitable stack. You can use a toothpick. The skirt was made from individual petals. They can be cut into a suitable shape or rolled out by eye. Lightly shaped with suitable items.

I stuck small leaves around the circle and made two flounces on the sides.

I molded and glued the handles. She was supposed to be petting someone. Later I decided that it would be a snail.

I made my hair from rolled out mastic, one bottom of which I cut with a knife. I stuck it to my head and turned up the ends.

I made bangs from two strips, connecting them at the back of my head. I created texture on my hair using a stack.

I made a snail. It is simpler, unlike .

For stability, I planted the snail with the fairy Rosetta on flowers made of mastic.

We paint the face and admire.)))

Fairies made of mastic

The other fairies were not characters from Disney fairy tales. I sculpted them simply by imagining them.
I made petals for the dress using silicone press - flower. She decorated the dress and shoes with small flowers.

I decided to give this fairy a ponytail.

Before painting the eyes of the fairies, I made white eye sockets, leveling them in a stack with a ball on the base.

I painted the face with dry food coloring diluted in lemon juice.

The next fairy was molded from the same parts as the previous one, only I placed the legs in a different position.

I decided to make the dress orange. The skirt is made using a flower cutting mold.

I decided to do it with golden curls. She rolled out a thin layer of yellow mastic, cut out small strips and, twisting them with her fingers, glued them to the base. I started gluing the curls from the edge of the head, finishing towards the middle.

The last fairy appeared in the form of a blooming dandelion.

The handles had to be supported with a suitable object so that they would dry and retain their original shape.

I made my hair out of thin strips - I wove them into a braid and curled them into a pine cone. I made bangs from triangles.

She decorated her hair with flowers.

At first I thought about putting a butterfly on her hand, but then I decided to leave it as it was.

I did not cover the cake itself with fondant. I placed flowers made from mastic and fairies on butter cream, making strokes on it that imitated grass.
