Lego Ninjago cake made of mastic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare the cake, you will need mastic, cream and colored food dyes of blue, yellow and black. I used a liquid dye, but you can take a dry one. Bake a sponge cake in a rectangular shape in advance. Let it cool completely. Then prepare the cream by beating the heavy cream, softened butter and boiled condensed milk with a mixer.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut off the top of the sponge cake. To do this, it is better to use a long knife that will freely reach from the edge to the edge of the cake, so you will get an even cut. With a toothpick, outline the contours of a Lego Ninjago human figure and cut it out with a sharp knife.

3. Step 3:

   

   Coat well with a layer of cream and smooth. To impregnate the cake with cream, you can put it in the refrigerator for several hours, or preferably overnight. To make the dessert look neat, be sure to check the evenness again before applying the mastic, since the mastic will not be able to hide the roughness.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the yellow mastic on a work surface sprinkled with powdered sugar (it is good to use a silicone mat). Knead until the mastic stops sticking to your hands. From the warmth of the hands, it will become elastic and obedient. Roll it out into a thin pancake (3-4 mm thick). Wrap it on a rolling pin and transfer it to the ninja's face, smooth it out. Trim off the excess edges. If bubbles appear on the surface, lift the edge of the formation and carefully lay it again.

5. Step 5:

   

   In the same way, roll out the black mastic and cover the torso and legs. Smooth everything out well and trim off the excess edges. Having leveled the top and moving to the sides, do not return to smoothing the top again, as the mastic will stretch.

6. Step 6:

   

   Also cover the little man's palms with black mastic.

7. Step 7:

   

   Use blue mastic to cover the sleeves.

9. Step 8:

   

   Roll out and cut out the mask from the blue mastic.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the mask on your face, simulate the fabric beautifully with folds.

11. Step 10:

    

    Apply a pattern on clothes with blue mastic.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add details from black mastic – patterns, buttons, eyes.

13. Step 12:

    

    And also add white mastic details.

14. Step 13:

    

    Cut out the white mastic and powder the top of the mastic with silver dye.

15. Step 14:

    

    Put the top of the mastic in place, cut off the excess. Now the ninja is ready for battle – you can safely serve treats to the table!
