DIY cake “Machine” step by step. Without mastic - it's easy

So, more details. Let’s look at how to prepare the “Machine” cake with your own hands step by step without mastic. There can be many options. Let's focus on a rather simple cake.

For the cakes you will need: 5 cups of sugar, 6 eggs, a teaspoon of soda, 2 pinches of salt, 400 grams of soft margarine, 750 ml of kefir and 6 cups of flour. For cookies you need to take a tablespoon of honey, 100 grams of margarine, a glass of sugar, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 0.5 teaspoon of soda, 1 egg, 2 cups of flour and a bag of vanillin. For custard: 2 cups sugar, 6 tablespoons flour, 4 eggs, 4 cups milk.

Cookie

Making the “Machine” cake with your own hands step by step without mastic is not too difficult. Let's start with the wheels. To prepare cookies in a water bath, you need to melt the egg, sour cream, honey, margarine, sugar and vanillin, stirring occasionally. Once everything is mixed, add soda and a little flour. Everything is mixed again. Next, add flour in small portions. Sticky dough is being prepared.

The wheels of the future car are cut out using a champagne glass. Of course, you get a lot of cookies. And there should only be four wheels. However, it won’t disappear, will it? It will also come in handy at the holidays. A depression is made in the center of the cookie. The tread pattern is pressed into the sides with a fork.

Cakes

Making your own “Machine” cake step by step without mastic is very simple. The next point is the cakes. Mix margarine, soda, salt, sugar, eggs and half of the kefir. Little by little we begin to add flour, and at the very end - the remaining kefir. The dough should be slightly thick. You need to take a large saucepan so that you can easily mix all the ingredients.

Cover the baking tray with baking paper. Place the dough on it with a spoon and spread it evenly over the surface. The cakes are baked at a temperature of 200 degrees. The result is four large cakes and one smaller one.

Cream

Knowing how to make a cake machine, you need to decide on the choice of impregnation. Custard is best suited for this purpose. To prepare it, you need to mix 4 eggs, 2 cups of milk and 6 tablespoons of flour. In a separate saucepan, mix 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of milk, which must be brought to a boil. As soon as the mixture boils, add the egg-flour mixture and cook until thickened with constant stirring.

Forming a cake

And now the most important thing. from prepared ingredients? First you need to cut out the cakes. The length of the cake is 30 centimeters, width - 15 centimeters. The bottom cake is made a little smaller so that the machine does not “lie on its belly.”

The cakes are stacked on top of each other. Cover with cream.

Next, the top of the machine (its head) is formed. Its height is 3 centimeters. Length - 18 centimeters, width at the back - 7 centimeters, width at the front - 10 centimeters. Stripes are laid out on the sides to give the “head” a roundness.

Spaces are cut out for the wheels. The distance to the front is 3 centimeters, to the rear - 4 centimeters. Having measured these distances, you need to attach the wheels and cut out the necessary places.

Next, the machine is formed - the cakes are cut. Roundings are made on the sides. The remaining cake and scraps are mixed with the remaining cream and a small amount of water, and the whole thing is whipped with a blender. The result is the so-called “sculpting mass”. It is needed in order to give the machine its final shape. Cookies are inserted into the wheel spaces. The windows and muzzle are cut out. To ensure that the parts hold tightly, they can be lubricated with a small amount of vodka. The cake goes into the refrigerator overnight for soaking.

Icing

What about the next day? A cake in the shape of a car at home also needs to be decorated. This can be done using icing - a mixture of powdered sugar, egg white and lemon juice. Icing is suitable for creating inscriptions using a pastry syringe and patterns (including three-dimensional ones). They can be made on plain parchment and transferred to the cake after drying.

The main thing is to avoid moisture when working with icing. Both hands and tools must be completely dry. You should not place decorations in the refrigerator. It dries wonderfully in the open air.

Chocolate and cream

Another great decor option is chocolate. You need to melt the tile, pour the cake, level the surface with a knife and put the dish in the refrigerator. In half an hour the beautiful cake will be ready.

Using white chocolate and food coloring you can create colored frosting. In addition to synthetic dyes, juices or syrups are also used. For quick decoration - the best option.

The “Machine” cake made from cream, or rather, decorated with it, also looks very attractive. The child will definitely like it. Moreover, you can add chopped nuts, berries, and pieces of fruit to the cream.

Shavings and shapes

You can decorate the cake using shavings. The chocolate must be grated on a coarse grater. If you heat the chips slightly, they curl very beautifully.

Or you can add figures to the machine. After the chocolate has melted, it needs to be poured into silicone molds. The product dries at room temperature. Any chocolate is used for these purposes - regular, porous, white, bitter or special confectionery.

In a word, if you want to give your child a pleasant surprise, the “Machine” cake is perfect for this. The master class presented in this article will definitely help you with this! Good luck!

So, hello)
A week before my son’s fourth birthday, the thought came to me whether I should bake a cake in the shape of a car. After New Year's Eve, gingerbread houses are no longer scary) It's decided.
My son took a long time to choose a car brand, and I painfully and nervously dug through the Internet.
I suggest you look at how we did it))

Toyota.
A chocolate sponge cake and chocolate cream were chosen according to a special recipe. I don’t reveal the recipe, only the process. Sazu I apologize for the quality of the photo. I took a photo from an iPad.
We bake biscuits. They needed 2 of these sheets.

The second sponge cake wanted to burn slightly, but I easily scraped everything off with a bread knife like this on the hot sponge cake.

Next I prepared this stand, I felt comfortable with it. A piece of styrofoam, foil and cling film that happened to live in our house. My husband drew out the size for the stand using a matching typewriter.

I placed my hint on the biscuits and cut out the cakes. I didn’t do the wheel arches, I decided later. Just biscuit rectangles, layered with cream.
There, there, near the sah. There are scraps of powder, I applied these 4 scraps as the 4th layer, smeared them together. Well, I was too lazy to bake a third sponge cake because of one cake layer, but the cut turned out to be original. All cakes are soaked. The bottom one is rum, the rest is apple juice.

Well, the fifth cake was even, everything was neat. Covered thickly with chocolate cream.

Then into the refrigerator. When the workpiece froze (drain the butter in the cream, of course), I began to give it shape. Two assistant cars on the table. Ssala yes. There is a joke about a crow and geese. About me, yes) iPad photo, you can see how my hands were shaking)) nervouskkkk. In this photo I am already leveling the future car with crumbs mixed with cream (vopschemta potatoes)

The shape of the Toyota was created by eye, with knives and scissors. Let it harden in the refrigerator.
While the machine was resting, I was preparing mastic to cover the cake. From American marshmallow. YouTube rules) 150g marshmallows, 150g powder (homemade is not suitable, only factory-made, there are no grains of sugar, I have other Etker and a tablespoon of drained butter. Microwave it for a minute, with drained butter, then add powdered sugar.

It is better to add the dye at this stage, after microwave.

I prepared white, because my son chose the color until the last moment), and chocolate, for the wheels.
Here it is, kneading. I'll reveal a secret. Before kneading, the spoon must be lubricated. oil Then this harmful mass does not stick. And don't wear gloves! Yyyy. Because I was laughing like I was stuck to my glove.

We knead until it looks like this. like plasticine. Knead on a table greased with butter, you can sprinkle it with powder, as the hostesses on the Internet advise, and laugh. Starch is also a good helper, but only later. Wrap the finished mastic in film and rest.

Here I covered the car with a cream of sugar and butter. More oil. To harden into oak.

Frozen into oak. With wet, warm hands (hot water) we perform the final leveling. We stroke, gently and carefully. The mastic will reveal all the irregularities. Ironing. And yes, there should be a lot of cream.

wheel, biscuit, chokomastika.

Purple dye was added to the white mastic. By the way, our dyes are lousy. Still, next time I’ll order prof. dyes. As a result, the result was lilac mastic, which tore after coating. She took it off and threw it away.

I was sad for two hours and kneaded a new one) By that time, my son decided to want an orange car)

I didn’t take a photo of mixing the new batch; I forgot out of frustration. I made the orange one denser.

I cut out the wheel arches, but I had to press mastic into them. But it was only later that I realized that I had done something wrong. The cake took 2 days to prepare, coffee, cigarettes and nerves. My head didn't cook at all)

The parcel boy is right there. Strokes) Like)

The stand for the car needed to be covered with gift paper, but I couldn’t find it at home, and I was too lazy to look for it. Therefore, baking paper. On the IKEA picture rack. Housewives write that ceiling panels are also suitable, who knows whether to believe them))

I painted the glass. In a good way, they had to be cut out of mastic, etc. The strength was no longer there.

Well, actually, here it is. I planned to remake the wheels, even though I didn’t like them, I didn’t even bother making rims for them. There are some imperfections, yes, the bottom of the cake is unfinished, and in general)

My husband put the wheels in with a firm hand) And they magically came up and lifted the car, as it should be.
The bow has already been torn off and eaten by the birthday boy, there was also a candle)
I never show my son here, sorry)

In general, for the first time in my life, it’s not bad, I think.
And also, the girls who make such things at home to order are mega-hard workers. I can’t imagine how much I would value this cake, my nerves, my strength.

They didn’t give me anything to fix or clean up; the guests were delighted. By the way, the cake was at least three kilos, we ate it all. For the first time I see clean plates after cake)
And each one took a bite home with him)

So, mothers, bake cakes for your children. It's so cool)
And happy belated birthday)

For boys (and not only) it is a joy to receive as a gift a dessert with a car at the head, and even more than that - the cake itself is in the shape of a Car. Let's look at today how to make a cake machine.

After all, if you put a machine (even if it’s not a complex design) on top of a cake, the structure will turn out to be heavy, and the culinary delicacy may be damaged. Moreover, a mastic car will be very, very heavy. Although it is only permissible to cover it with mastic and fill it with biscuit crumbs with cream, puffed rice or crumbled cookies (like a cake called “Potato”).

We’ll do it simpler, make a big cake in the shape of a car: it will be more joyful for the kids to see the dessert in the form of (McQueen), but you can simply decorate the cake using colored cream, and see how here.

Today we are considering work with red mastic. It is interesting that such a simple adjective word, familiar to us and used in everyday life, “red,” is endowed, in fact, with two lives.

The former life of the word is lost in the depths of ancient centuries, where the adjective meant nothing more than the concept “beautiful”. This concept and the word itself originate from Slavic roots. The fact of Slavic origin is also confirmed by related languages: in Bulgarian “red” is “red”, the Serbo-Croatian language uses the word “krasan”, and so on. In addition, we know that initially such adjectives as “beautiful” are nothing more than “very beautiful”, originally “wise” - “very wise”.

The second life of the adjective began in the 16th century, when it began to denote exclusively the color of a certain tone. And such a transformation with the word in question, it would be worth noting, occurs exclusively in the Slavic Russian language. During the USSR period, the word began to be used more and was actively used to define a symbol of the social system.

It would seem, what was the color called in Rus' before that time? And everything is very simple, for example, blood, fire, and even the rooster’s comb was called “scarlet.” This name comes from the word “worm”, since at that time a dye of natural origin of a certain tone was extracted from worms (Polish cochineal). Insects were collected at the beginning of the summer month, which in Ukrainian sounds like “worm” - June.

How to make a cake in the shape of a car

The assembled cake needs to be cut to the approximate parameters of the machine.

We also cut out the backing in a suitable shape for the machine.

We will cut out the wheel arches in the blank.

Cover the dessert with cream to smooth it out. You can use a simple mixture of butter and melted chocolate.

Place in the refrigerator to harden the cream coating.

While the cake is settling, we will make a base (substrate) for the machine, for example, a road.

To do this, take a piece of polystyrene foam, cut it to a size slightly smaller than the cake (so that the wheels of the machine extend beyond the frame of the stand), and wrap it in cling film.

We need to combine the design of the cake and the road, so we will cover our “road” with mastic, for example, gray.

We take the frozen dessert out of the refrigerator and wrap it in rolled out mastic, for example, red.

We will highlight the windows, front part, headlights and other parts of the cake with mastic dough of a different color. You can use the remains from the road covering - mastic painted with gray food coloring.

Combine the cake with the stand.

Now we need wheels that can be made from cookies.

We collect the cookies in a stack to get an almost natural look. You can glue the cookies together using regular condensed milk.

We will cover the wheels with mastic, in a color close to natural. Rubber can be given a black color using dye.

You can add relief to the tread using a toothpick, or a wheel from a children's car, if you have one at home.

The disk for the wheel is made of white mastic: a circle is cut out, small parts are selected, and that’s it.

Cut the biscuit cake into 3 parts horizontally.

Leave the bottom layer in a mold with sliding sides and spread 1/3 of the buttercream on it. Then we cover it with the second part of the cake and spread it with cream again.
We cut the third part into two parts ¼ and ¾ and lay out, under one side, the larger part at once, then the smaller one and coat them with cream, as in the photo. Let the cake sit for a while.
We make wheels: fill the mold with mastic and put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
We remove the well-frozen mastic from the mold and get a wheel. We color it with black gel food coloring, diluting it a little with alcohol or vodka.
Form the cake: trim off the excess cake to give it the shape of a car.
Then we make the car windshield more sloping.
(banner_banner2)
Grind the cake scraps using a blender and form the resulting mass into bulges on the hood of the car.
We make recesses for the car wheels.
Cover the cake with buttercream and cover with fondant.
Roll out the mastic for covering the cake into a layer about 0.5 cm thick and cover the cake with it. We level the mastic with our hands, remove the air and cut off the excess mastic.
We mark the headlights with black paint, leave the windshield, rear and side windows gray, paint all other parts of the car black.
We use black mastic to make the front and rear bumpers, as well as other decorative elements.
We use white mastic using round cuttings of different diameters to make a BMW badge and headlights. We glue them on the cake.
We make side mirrors from black mastic, attach them to a toothpick, and then use the same toothpick to install them on the cake. Last, insert the wheels into the pre-prepared holes.
