Spider-Man Cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make a cake, you will need mastic, cream and colorful food dyes. I used a liquid dye, but you can take a dry one. The cake is made from sponge cakes, which should be baked in advance. 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. On the underside, outline the oval of the face with a toothpick.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the sponge cake with a sharp knife along the designated contour.

3. Step 3:

   

   Turn over and place the sponge cake base on the cake stand. Cut the top edge of the biscuit in a circle.

4. Step 4:

   

   Suitable creams for mastic oil, caramel, condensed milk or chocolate ganache. It is not recommended to use sour cream, as the mastic will float from moisture and will not be able to maintain its shape. Add the blue dye to the cream and stir. Butter the cake.

5. Step 5:

   

   Make an elevation from the cream to the middle of the cake. Smooth it well so that the surface is 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.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put the mass 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 out the thin white mastic into a thin pancake (approximate thickness 3-4 mm).

7. Step 7:

   

   Wrap the rolled layer on a rolling pin and transfer it to the cake, smooth it out. Trim off the excess edges. If bubbles appear on the surface, simply lift the edge of the mastic layer and gently lay it again.

9. Step 8:

   

   Smooth and smooth well. Having leveled the top and moving to the sides, do not return to smoothing the top again, as the mastic will stretch.

10. Step 9:

    

    With a toothpick, apply the indentations on the site of the future web and eyes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Take a clean ordinary gouache brush of suitable thickness. Use it to paint the whole face with red food coloring, except for the eyes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Circle the eyes with black dye. Be sure to let the paint dry.

13. Step 12:

    

    With a toothpick in the places of the recess, apply a black dye to the web.

14. Step 13:

    

    Roll out a roller (1.5-2 mm thick) from blue mastic and make a border at the base of the cake. Apply an embossed pattern to the roller.

15. Step 14:

    

    Let the paint dry. The work of culinary and fine art is ready! Serve to the table and delight the household, especially children!
