Original cake for a child's birthday. We decorate the children's cake with mastic, cream, fruit and chocolate. DIY mastic figurines for a children's cake

But how to decorate a baby cake for a boy with your own hands?

First you need to decide on the plot and materials. Cake decorations for a boy can be made from either mastic or cream. The hero in this master class will be Thomas the Tank Engine.

DIY children's cake for a boy

To create a cake we will need:

a small amount of white mastic;
black food coloring;
chocolate or any other dense biscuit;
powdered sugar or starch;
toothpicks;
tools for creating facial features, you can get by with suitable improvised means;
thick cream in blue, yellow, red and black colors;
small rolling pin;
pastry bag;
small spatula and brush;
lollipop stick;
toy train as a model.

So, let's start creating a little masterpiece.

Pinch off a small piece of mastic and gradually add black dye and knead it.
To make it more convenient to work, dust the table with powdered sugar or starch. Otherwise, when work begins on the details of the face, the mastic may stick and everything will be ruined. Some people use a silicone mat or parchment paper as a backing.
Thus, we select the amount of dye required to get a gray color like the model. If you suddenly end up with a very dark color, you can always add a little white mastic and fix everything.

Roll into an even ball, leaving a small piece for details.

Roll it out with a rolling pin into a round, not thin cake and start working on the facial features. Determine the center of the face and use a small spatula to make an indentation.

Helping with your finger, lift the edge and expand the hole.

Roll a small ball and insert it inside the recess.

Cover the top of the ball with the previously raised material and smooth it down a little. Above the nose we make indentations for the eyes, simultaneously forming the bridge of the nose.

We set the shape of the mouth, especially carefully working on the corners.

We pinch off a small piece of white mastic and make a smile in accordance with the size of the intended mouth, flattening it a little in the corners.

Lubricate the back side of the part with water and insert it into the prepared recess, pressing down a little to connect perfectly. Using a toothpick, outline folds and wrinkles.

Using the same technology as the nose, we make the cheeks, only a little smaller in size.

Lift it up, insert it and smooth it out.

We go over the joints with a damp brush to perfectly align everything and make it glossy.

We cut out the eyes from white mastic, and make pupils from black.

The eyebrows will become black triangles. At this stage, insert the stick carefully so as not to damage the face. After such painstaking work on the details, you feel like a plastic surgeon, because “revitalizing” a face is not so easy. It’s better to do this work in advance, a few days in advance, so that it dries and does not glass when the cake is ready. It is better to dry it on a flat, flat surface face up.

Now let's get down to the main part of making the cake.

You can please the birthday boy not only with a cake with the image of a train. Taking into account the boy’s wishes and special preferences, you can even make his dream come true in the form of dessert.

Original and stylish ideas for a boy's birthday

Bake waffle, honey or sponge cakes and coat them with cream, and decorate with roses and an inscription on top - this is a recipe for a regular cake from the last century. Today, chefs and mothers who love their children know how to prepare an original cake for a boy:

The simplest and most winning option is to decorate the treat in the style of your favorite superhero. The cake with the Batman emblem made of chocolate and white fondant looks beautiful. And with the help of red, yellow and blue fondant you can decorate a cake in the style of Superman;
The dessert can be shaped like your favorite cartoon character. For example, bake it in the form of a funny minion, a racing car or an intergalactic cruiser;
You can make a cake with a surprise in the form of sweets. To do this, when assembling a cake (from two or more sponge cake layers), you need to make a hole in the center of the lower cake layers and place a handful of candies (without wrappers), sweet chocolate figures, or even a gift there. After that, you need to close the niche with a surprise, like a lid, with the top cake. The main thing is to warn the child to cut the cake carefully;
A dessert with multi-colored sponge cake and plain glaze in cross section looks very stylish. But in order for such a cake to capture the child’s imagination immediately, and not just after cutting, in addition to the icing, you can make an inscription on it with icing or draw karateka figures using a stencil.

There are other options for decorating birthday cakes. But the most important thing is to show as much imagination as possible. And no child will refuse to eat a sweet racing car!

What kind of cakes do pastry chefs offer for boys?

Professional chefs know that a cake can tell a whole story. It can be painted on with icing and cream on the treat itself. You can also make a dish in the form of some kind of toy and complement it with decorations made of mastic or marzipan. This could be a cake car that fills up with gas at a sugar station or a funny minion eating a cake.

Also, professional pastry chefs offer multi-tiered sponge-cream cakes, on which a whole battle takes place between sugar armies - this is a complex but very effective solution for decorating a treat.

Step-by-step recipes

Despite the huge number of types of children's birthday cakes for boys, two options are especially popular, we will consider them further.

Sponge cake with whipped cream and fondant

For dessert you need to take several ready-made sponge cakes. The number of cakes depends on the height and planned shape of the dish.

Cooking sequence:

Gelatin must be diluted in water and allowed to swell. At the same time, 400-450 g of powdered sugar should be sifted with a fine sieve;
Pour syrup into gelatin and place in a water bath. Simmer in a bathhouse for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly until the gelatin and syrup are completely dissolved;
Carefully pour the finished mixture into the powder and immediately begin mixing: first with a spoon, then with your hands. The finished mastic should have a uniform consistency, stretch a little and slightly stick to your hands;
The mastic should be placed in a plastic bag and in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes;
50-100 g of powdered sugar should be mixed with vanilla, then add a small amount of chilled cream and beat lightly with a whisk;
When the mixture becomes such that it can be whipped with a mixer, without fear of scattering powder around the room, you need to continue whipping the cream with sugar, gradually increasing the speed of the mixer. In this case, the remaining cream should be poured into the mixture in a thin stream;
As soon as the cream holds its shape and reaches soft peaks, you need to stop whipping. The cream is ready for use;
Grease the finished cakes with cream between them. There is no need to apply anything to the top layer where the mastic will be;
You need to take the mastic out of the refrigerator, add a little of any food coloring to it and roll it out into a thin layer with a rolling pin;
Before covering the cake, you can lightly sprinkle it with sweet water on all sides. Then the mastic will lie better;
The covering begins from the top, carefully laying out the mastic pancake so that its edges hang as low as possible. The covering is done carefully, helping with your hands and an iron to expel the air and lay the mastic as evenly as possible.

The finished cake is decorated with icing or pastry markers in honor of the birthday person with appropriate wishes.

Assembled cake with candies (fully edible)

When making a cake from candies, you can follow a simple path - take packaged candies and small chocolate bars in foil and carefully assemble them into the shape of a cake, using a cardboard mold as a frame. But such a cake cannot be cut and then eaten with a spoon. Therefore, it is better to make a completely edible prefabricated cake instead.

To do this you need to take:

ready-made sponge cakes - 1-2 pcs;
KitKat chocolates (or similar) - 36-40 pcs (depending on the size of the dish);
M&M’s candies (or similar) - 130-420 g (the more there are, the denser the top layer will be);
butter - 100 g;
cream cheese - 100 g;
powdered sugar - 4-6 tbsp;
milk - 25 ml;
vanillin - 1 tsp;
dark or milk chocolate - 200 g.

Preparation time excluding baking of cakes is 30-40 minutes.

Calorie content per 100 grams is 512 kcal.

Cooking steps:

If the cakes are ready, then you need to start by preparing the cream. If not, then you need to bake several layers of classic sponge cake in advance. The cake is prepared when the cakes have already cooled down so that the candies do not start to melt ahead of time. The buttercream icing is made with only warm ingredients and the butter should be melted;
In a suitable sized bowl, beat the butter and cheese with a mixer at medium speed. At the same time, powdered sugar, milk and vanillin are gradually added to the mass;
Towards the end of whipping, you need to increase the speed of the mixer, and at the very end, pour in the melted chocolate. Chocolate can be melted in a microwave oven or in a water bath. Then the mixture is stirred until it becomes homogeneous;
The finished cake is well coated with cream. Moreover, it is necessary to lubricate not only from above, but also from the sides. If necessary, place a second cake on top, which is also buttered;
The KitKat sticks are removed from the packaging and carefully “glued” to the sides of the cake, leaving a small space between the sticks. This is done around the entire perimeter of the cake;
To keep the sticks securely, a ribbon is tied over them, which is removed before cutting the dessert;
The top of the cake is decorated with a scattering of glazed sweets.

After which the cake is put in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

How to beautifully decorate a children's birthday cake for a boy

Decorations in the form of simple cream flowers are a thing of the past. Today, pastry chefs offer several different ways to decorate a cake for a boy:

Fruit jelly, from which a plate is made according to the shape and placed on the top cake;
Meringue. Many small “domes” are made from it, which are used to decorate the entire top of the cake or make a border. Sometimes the entire cake is coated with raw meringue and then put in the oven for a couple of minutes to harden the result;
A thick layer of whipped cream is a classic topping for a gift cake. If the shape of the baked goods resembles a toy car or a funny animal, then using cream painted in the desired colors and a pastry syringe you can decorate such a cake over the entire area in accordance with the design of the toy;
Wafer pictures with photo printing, onto which you can transfer any image, will allow you to decorate the cake with a portrait or a graphic scene from a cartoon, where the main characters congratulate the boy on his birthday;
Figures made from mastic and marzipan are an excellent option for decorating a cake. It is better if the figures are made in the form of traditional toys for boys: a robot, a car or an airplane;
Painting with icing (sugar glaze) using a sugar syringe is not only an elegant solution, but also a very original one. After all, with such a painting you can decorate the entire cake with an intricate web or inscriptions in honor of the birthday person.

To decorate the cake, you can use any of these options or several at once.

The sponge cake will have a particularly interesting taste and appearance if each layer is made of a different taste and color. The combination of chocolate sponge cake, poppy seed cake and classic one is very much appreciated;
When choosing cream for a cake, it is better to give preference to yogurt. It's fluffy, light, and much healthier than traditional whipped cream;
The cream will whip better if not only it is chilled, but also the container in which it will be whipped;
Mastic for covering is prepared without starch and based on corn syrup. Mastic with honey and starch is better suited for making figurines.

Making a birthday cake for a boy is easy. It is much more difficult to make this treat in such a way that both the hero of the occasion and his guests are satisfied with the appearance of the dish. And here confectioners have to show miracles of ingenuity so that a cake for a boy is not only tasty and healthy, but also meets all the needs of a little man.

Cake ideas

When preparing children's cakes, you need to take into account the characteristics of baby food, which ingredients are suitable for baby food and which are not. Where to start preparing this delicious dish? Of course, from the choice of the basis - the dough. It can be shortbread, biscuit, custard or puff pastry.
The main thing is that the preparation uses natural fresh products with a minimum content of dyes and preservatives. For classic holiday cakes, sponge dough is suitable, the recipe for which you can easily find. Shortbread dough is very good to use when creating a composition from shortbread baskets filled with fresh fruit or in jelly. Choux pastry is ideal for making cakes and profiteroles. It is this that allows you to fill the void inside the baked goods with a delicious filling, while maintaining its appearance.

When preparing a children's cake or pastries for the holiday table at home, you will definitely guess which cream and flavoring is best to use, since the store-bought one does not always suit your taste and the taste of your children. Therefore, more and more often, parents prefer to prepare their own cake or order a cake from a specialized store. Only such a custom-made cake will meet all your requirements that you set before it.

There are many recipes for creams for soaking and decorating a children's cake. It could also be custard, the recipe for which every housewife has known since childhood. For a holiday where the main guests will be kids, cakes with sour cream or butter-jelly cream are well suited. Cakes - cheesecakes, which are based on cottage cheese or curd cheese, which is the main source of calcium, will also be useful for children. Instead of gelatin, it is better to use agar-agar when cooking. It is made from seaweed and is a unique source of iodine, calcium and iron.

The main thing when preparing a cake is your imagination and the appropriate mood. By choosing the base - the dough, you can easily decide on the appearance and decoration of the cake. This could be your favorite cartoon or fairy tale character. If there is no appropriate baking dish, the finished biscuit can be easily cut out using a pre-prepared stencil made of cardboard or thick paper. By tinkering with cream and food coloring, you will get the desired color of the impregnation, which you can easily apply to the surface of the biscuit even with an ordinary spoon. There is no need to be afraid to experiment; your child will certainly appreciate your efforts, and the birthday cake will be a success.

Very soon it will be time for your baby to celebrate his birthday. And if the child has already reached three years old, then he will look forward to this day, since he already understands what a holiday is, especially if he is the hero of the occasion. Traditionally, parties are held on this day, food is prepared, and gifts are received.

The birthday date is of great importance for the birthday person; it is generally accepted that on this day you need to surround him with friends and loved ones, and then reliable protection will be achieved for the whole year.

An attribute of a birthday celebration is a cake with candles. The number of candles on the cake corresponds to the number of years lived. As you know, this custom came from Ancient Greece. It was on Artemis’s birthday that it was customary to light thin candles on round honey cakes.

No birthday celebration is complete without a birthday cake. Moreover, not only children, but also parents and guests are happy to see him. A beautiful cake can add charm to a holiday and become its highlight.

When your baby turns one, it is a memorable event for his parents and all relatives. A child is the most important value of loving parents. The first birthday becomes an unforgettable event for the whole family. However, for some reason, many adults think that a one-year-old child is too young to appreciate the beauty and taste of a cake prepared especially for him.

Therefore, children's cakes for one year old very often turn out to be ordinary “adult” cakes for adult guests. Moreover, many parents are wary of confectionery products, believing that while the child is very young, he should not try such a delicacy. In fact, a one-year-old baby may well appreciate the cake from his own point of view. Bright biscuit, chocolate, yoghurt and other children's cakes cause real delight among kids.

What kind of cake should you make for your first birthday? What products to use in cooking? After all, at a family holiday it is important to observe traditions - blow out the first candle, make a wish, and please the baby. Every mother knows that children at this age should not eat regular store-bought cakes soaked, for example, in sweet alcohol-containing syrups; chocolate and other goodies are not advisable. After all, it is very important not to ruin this day and many subsequent ones by having your child have red cheeks from allergies or a stomach ache from unusual food.

You can use baby cookies as the base for a 1-year-old cake; instead of cream, use cottage cheese whipped with sour cream or yogurt. To decorate a cake for 1 year, those fruits that your child already eats - bananas, apples - are suitable. You can use slices of peaches, plums, blueberries, etc. Choose what your baby already eats.
