Figures from mastic with their own hands for children's honey cake: we make a bee
If you want to decorate a children's cake and at the same time want to give it originality, then the best solution will be a figurine made of mastic! For example, for a honey cake the figure of a bee is remarkable, because honey without bees can not be! And our today's master class on how to make figurines of mastic for children's cake with your own hands will help you in this. Other figures can be found in the video tutorials at the end of the article.
Materials:
1. Stacks for mastic;
2. Toothpick;
3. Mastic( as from marshmallow, and any other);
4. Foil;
5. Scissors;
6. Food glue;
7. Thin brush;
8. Roller;
9. Mat for working with mastic;
10. Food colors( you can buy in a variety of shops).
Step-by-step:
1. Roll the ball out of the mastic and put it on the toothpick. We form the mouth and the recess for the nose with a stack or knife( in the absence of a stack).
2. Roll out the yellow mastic( not thicker than a half centimeter), and then glue it on your head - you will get a bee haircut. We roll a small ball-spout and glue it.
3. Let's make the antennae: roll a little bit of mastic into a thin flagellum:
Sell it in the middle.
The finishing touch - we form the balls at the ends, and the antennae is ready!
4. We decorate the hair with a toothpick to make a kind of "curls".But the choice of hairstyle - just for you!
5. Now make a hole for the antennae and wait until the head dries.
6. From the yellow mastic we roll 3 balls. Large - for the trunk, two small - for the legs. Flatten little balls.
7. The upper part of the ball is flattening even more, and from the bottom we form the paws. We will put on them "shaggy" toothpick.
8. Now go to the spoon. We roll the sausage from the same yellow mastic( one side of which will be thicker than the other), we mold out a spoon from it and stack( or a knife we make a depression in the spoons).
9. We make a big "drop" of honey from the mastic and glue it to the spoon. Drop at your own discretion.
10. We glue the feet to the trunk, and after that we treat it with a toothpick.
11. We glue the bee's head and make our hands.
12. Now roll out the mastic of white color and cut out of it such wonderful wings, as in the photo:
13. Thinly roll out the white mastic and cut out the billets of the peephole.
14. Glue the eyes to the head.
15. We collect the bee. Do not forget to put foil, otherwise anything can fall off.
16. Draw the blue eyes.
17. Black color draw pupils and eyelashes.
18. color the food dyes head, trunk and spoon.
We fix the antennae, and the decoration for the cake is ready!
If you are wondering how to store this wonderful bee( if the cake is not ready yet or something has not been set), then you can store it either in a dry box or wrapped in food foil in the refrigerator. Preferably the second option, because otherwise you can damage its antennae or spoon. The box is kept in a box for two to three weeks.
