Cook cakes as follows: draw a regular circle on a sheet of baking paper along a dessert plate with a diameter of 20 centimeters. Turn the sheet over - the circle will be noticeable. Put a sheet of this paper on a non-slip (silicone) surface and, spreading evenly, spread 2 tablespoons of dough within the outlined circle.

At this point, the oven is already heated to +190 C or +400 F, paper with raw cake carefully place on a baking sheet and send to bake for 4-5 minutes. While the first cake is baking, lay out the second cake on the second sheet of baking paper with the same circumference so that it can be immediately baked.

Various figurines, chocolate and mastic products, unusually shaped cakes - any pastry can become a masterpiece.
Making a dessert for the new year is different from conventional cooking- after all, on this day, in addition to sweets, you need to cook a large number of salads, snacks and hot dishes. Lack of experience also affects - after all, cakes with a New Year theme have to be prepared only once a year.
Cake decoration features:
Cake decorating rules:
In case of unsuccessful design attempts, there is no need to panic - the error can always be corrected or hidden by adding new decorations to the confectionery.
There are plenty of ways to decorate the finished cake, but we must not forget that the year of the rooster is coming, and he has his own preferences. Favorite treat rooster is seeds, nuts and popcorn. If all this is not planned in decorating the cake, then the cake itself can be cereal or nutty.
Cake decorating options:
This year, the figurine of a rooster on the finished product is relevant. The bird can be easily sculpted due to the simple shape of its body.
To sculpt a rooster, you will need marzipan - plastic almond paste (preferably several colors) and plasticine handling skills. Ready-made marzipan can be bought at the store by choosing the right colors for your cockerel.
First, we form the body in the form of a droplet, then we make the head out of the ball. We create wings and tail from marzipan cakes, cut feathers with a knife. From red marzipan, add a scallop, beak and beard to the head. Draw the eyes with black dye.
You can add a hen and several chickens to the rooster.
Chocolate for decoration is melted and poured into a pastry bag. With such chocolate, you can draw openwork snowflakes, Christmas trees, snow drifts. Figurines can be placed vertically in the cake - such decoration will be very elegant.
When cutting the cake, the figures will be damaged, so it is better to decorate the cake in cut form. Or group jewelry so that they do not fall under the cut line. White chocolate will allow you to create real "snow", and beautiful spruce trees will turn out from the dark.
This method is suitable for beginners who are not sure that they can make jewelry on their own. Confectionery stores have a large selection of ready-made sweet figurines: these are shiny beads, snowflakes, stars, leaves. From this set, you can lay out a picture or decorate the edges of the cake.
A fruit decoration will be more useful than a sweet design. You can build a Christmas tree from green kiwi pulp and add toy berries to it. Or cut different shapes from fruits and lay them on the surface of the cake. Also, bright berries will perfectly decorate the New Year's dessert.
Having cut out stencils of images from paper, you can put them on the cake and sprinkle the rest of the surface thickly with powdered sugar. With its help, you can draw whole pictures on a confectionery product.
Some jewelry options can be combined with each other, others look better without unnecessary elements. Before you start designing a product, you need to decide on the design and stick to it.
Mastic is a sweet and very plastic material that can beautifully cover the cake. Various figurines are also made from mastic. Dyes will allow you to decorate the mastic and add brightness to the finished product.
Can buy finished mass but the tastiest sugar paste obtained by home production.
Marshmallow mastic is quickly prepared and easy to use: it is evenly colored, easily rolled out and takes any shape.
Marshmallow cut into small pieces, fill with water and put on water bath. When the marshmallows begin to dissolve, you need to add oil to the pan. After the marshmallow becomes a homogeneous mass, it's time to remove it from the stove.
Now you need to add powdered sugar and mix the mass without stopping.
If the spoon starts to get stuck, stir the mass with your hands.
The mastic should feel like elastic dough, it will be ready when it stops sticking to your hands.
It is very convenient to sculpt figurines and decorations from this mastic.
For cooking you will need:
Gelatin is soaked in water for 20 minutes, and then heated over low heat until completely dissolved. The mass must be stirred and not allowed to boil.
Pour half of the powdered sugar on the table and form a hill with a recess from it. We pour into it lemon juice with gelatin and knead the mastic, gradually adding the remaining powder. You need to mix until smooth, then wrap the mass cling film and refrigerate briefly.
This is a universal mastic - it is convenient to create both decorations and a cake coating from it.
To prepare the mastic you will need:
Powdered sugar is combined with milk powder, lemon juice is added and everything is mixed. Now gradually add condensed milk and stir the mass until a dense state. If the mastic crumbles, you need to add a little more lemon juice.
With the help of mastic, a smooth coating of the top of the product and its sides is created. To cover with mastic, the surface of the cake must be leveled - there should be no bumps or pits.
When preparing the mastic for coating, it must be rolled out to a thickness of 5 mm. Cover the product with mastic carefully, smoothing out all the folds and cutting off the excess with a knife. If the mastic is not applied very beautifully, you can hide the flaws by decorating - figurines, icing or cream inscriptions are suitable
Figurines are made from mastic of varying complexity. For their manufacture, you can buy ready-made stamps - mastic is applied to them, and then the figure is squeezed out of the mold. The figurines are also molded by hand - the consistency of the mastic resembles plasticine, so even children can handle the modeling.
Rules for working with mastic:
In the new year, magic surrounds us everywhere. You can even create it yourself using an unusual cake.
