For boys (and not only) it is a joy to receive as a gift a dessert with a car at the head, and even more than that - the cake itself is in the shape of a Car. Let's look at today how to make a cake machine.

After all, if you put a machine (even if it’s not a complex design) on top of a cake, the structure will turn out to be heavy, and the culinary delicacy may be damaged. Moreover, a mastic car will be very, very heavy. Although it is only permissible to cover it with mastic and fill it with biscuit crumbs with cream, puffed rice or crumbled cookies (like a cake called “Potato”).

We’ll do it simpler, make a big cake in the shape of a car: it will be more joyful for the kids to see the dessert in the form of (McQueen), but you can simply decorate the cake using colored cream, and see how here.

Today we are considering work with red mastic. It is interesting that such a simple adjective word, familiar to us and used in everyday life, “red,” is endowed, in fact, with two lives.

The former life of the word is lost in the depths of ancient centuries, where the adjective meant nothing more than the concept “beautiful”. This concept and the word itself originate from Slavic roots. The fact of Slavic origin is also confirmed by related languages: in Bulgarian “red” is “red”, the Serbo-Croatian language uses the word “krasan”, and so on. In addition, we know that initially such adjectives as “beautiful” are nothing more than “very beautiful”, originally “wise” - “very wise”.

The second life of the adjective began in the 16th century, when it began to denote exclusively the color of a certain tone. And such a transformation with the word in question, it would be worth noting, occurs exclusively in the Slavic Russian language. During the USSR period, the word began to be used more and was actively used to define a symbol of the social system.

It would seem, what was the color called in Rus' before that time? And everything is very simple, for example, blood, fire, and even the rooster’s comb was called “scarlet.” This name comes from the word “worm”, since at that time a dye of natural origin of a certain tone was extracted from worms (Polish cochineal). Insects were collected at the beginning of the summer month, which in Ukrainian sounds like “worm” - June.

How to make a cake in the shape of a car

The assembled cake needs to be cut to the approximate parameters of the machine.

We also cut out the backing in a suitable shape for the machine.

We will cut out the wheel arches in the blank.

Cover the dessert with cream to smooth it out. You can use a simple mixture of butter and melted chocolate.

Place in the refrigerator to harden the cream coating.

While the cake is settling, we will make a base (substrate) for the machine, for example, a road.

To do this, take a piece of polystyrene foam, cut it to a size slightly smaller than the cake (so that the wheels of the machine extend beyond the frame of the stand), and wrap it in cling film.

We need to combine the design of the cake and the road, so we will cover our “road” with mastic, for example, gray.

We take the frozen dessert out of the refrigerator and wrap it in rolled out mastic, for example, red.

We will highlight the windows, front part, headlights and other parts of the cake with mastic dough of a different color. You can use the remains from the road covering - mastic painted with gray food coloring.

Combine the cake with the stand.

Now we need wheels that can be made from cookies.

We collect the cookies in a stack to get an almost natural look. You can glue the cookies together using regular condensed milk.

We will cover the wheels with mastic, in a color close to natural. Rubber can be given a black color using dye.

You can add relief to the tread using a toothpick, or a wheel from a children's car, if you have one at home.

The disk for the wheel is made of white mastic: a circle is cut out, small parts are selected, and that’s it.

Cut the biscuit cake into 3 parts horizontally.

(banner_banner1)
Leave the bottom layer in a mold with sliding sides and spread 1/3 of the buttercream on it. Then we cover it with the second part of the cake and spread it with cream again.
We cut the third part into two parts ¼ and ¾ and lay out, under one side, the larger part at once, then the smaller one and coat them with cream, as in the photo. Let the cake sit for a while.
We make wheels: fill the mold with mastic and put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
We remove the well-frozen mastic from the mold and get a wheel. We color it with black gel food coloring, diluting it a little with alcohol or vodka.
Form the cake: trim off the excess cake to give it the shape of a car.
Then we make the car windshield more sloping.
(banner_banner2)
Grind the cake scraps using a blender and form the resulting mass into bulges on the hood of the car.
We make recesses for the car wheels.
Cover the cake with buttercream and cover with fondant.
Roll out the mastic for covering the cake into a layer about 0.5 cm thick and cover the cake with it. We level the mastic with our hands, remove the air and cut off the excess mastic.
We mark the headlights with black paint, leave the windshield, rear and side windows gray, paint all other parts of the car black.
We use black mastic to make the front and rear bumpers, as well as other decorative elements.
We use white mastic using round cuttings of different diameters to make a BMW badge and headlights. We glue them on the cake.
We make side mirrors from black mastic, attach them to a toothpick, and then use the same toothpick to install them on the cake. Lastly, insert the wheels into the pre-prepared holes.

There's still some time.
This is completely free material for thought.

I ask those who like to rewrite my texts and compose their own manuals based on them, fellow citizens! Have a conscience!
You can use this text, but indicate the author and the resource tortolena.ru, that the magazine is being overwritten deeply I don’t care, I’m somehow used to it, because the main thing is not the rating, not the medal, not the selfie with someone, the main thing is the quality of the work!
For me personally, this has been and will be the only criterion of professionalism.

What exactly is a cake in the shape of a car?
To conclude that this type of cake is one of the most complex, you don’t need to be a genius anywhere!
You just need to type the name of any brand into a search engine and see THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of works.

Let’s take one fresh piece of wood and figure out what’s being done and how it’s done.

This is such a simple looking cake.

Where would you like to start asking questions?
Since I’m a freak, I would immediately start criticizing, so let’s start, as we often do, from the back... with criticism!
But very short)

It means that we see.
Cake in the shape of an Infiniti FX50S car in a rare color. There are a number of shortcomings, some uncritical deviation from the geometry, the windows could be more transparent, the same with the optics, roof rails, wheels... the sills should be modified, the windshield wipers should be replaced, PTF trim, windshield molding...

Do you see how much there is on a cake that is simply crazy in terms of the quality of work?!
Is it possible to do better?
Yes! Yes! And again yes!

The question, as always, comes down to... money!
Why fence a garden if you are not given such a task?
You should not impose your craving for an ideal world on the Customer. There is no point in bringing to work more than the amount of detail the head perceives!

You can endlessly strive for perfection, but put a responsible person next to you with a stopwatch and a stick, let him pull you back!
Over time, an understanding of balance and harmony will come to you and you will see how much the speed of work has increased and, not surprisingly, the quality!

However, nothing just appears out of nowhere, so I will try, together with you, to compress time and experience and eliminate the main problems when working on this kind of product.

Where to start?
FROM THE DRAWING!

Therefore, we enter the brand and model into the search engine and be sure to use the word DRAWING, learn to properly distribute your working time, from this one word, from simply what and in what order and at what distance you have laid out the tools, depends on how much you will work.

So, there is a drawing, it is, as always, in the graphics, it should show the vehicle (vehicle) you are interested in from 4 angles.
ATTENTION! Some vehicles are not symmetrical, i.e. on the left they may have “something” different from the right) at least you shouldn’t forget about the gas tank cap.
Therefore, print out photos of the vehicle from several angles, it’s good when there is a view strictly from the face, to the rear, from the side, a general plan so that you can see the roof, etc.

In general, any filling is suitable for a cake! But you will have to modernize the tender one so uh-uh-- that there is absolutely no point in using it, so either shortbread or honey cake, the latter is best suited.

Let’s immediately put aside the sob about professionalism, that everything can be straightened out with “coat and cream.”
Comrade professionals, holders of championship titles and regalia, if they prevent you from performing work at the proper quality up to now, do not interfere with novice confectioners with less knowledge, do not rip them off at master classes by giving out incorrect information! And one more thing, regarding “lightening the decor”. As I understand it, this is an interesting and popular topic, which you successfully steal from me, without giving the main thing - KNOWLEDGE!
What can I tell you about this?
I don't respect you!

We have already talked about the thickness of the coating and the cream, if not, we’ll talk about it later.
But I will briefly say the following now. Imagine that you are about to eat cake! A cake is actually a bare filling and the thinner the coating, ANY kind, even chocolate, the more perfect your creation!

You can end up achieving a paste thickness of around 1 mm or less, while the cream will be so negligible... it actually just closes the pores, and is not the surface layer of the cake, being 15-20 mm or more! This is a really nice cake to eat! Because the coating on it is like... well, like on an Easter cake and it is the same or even tastier.

Drawing.
In general, the weight and dimensions are almost standard.
It’s hard for me to remember how many times they asked for cars of 5-9 kg, but I can easily list the brands that were asked to make no more than 2 kg, the most popular weight is 2.8-3... 3.5 kg.

The cake in the photo above weighs exactly 3 kg.
Size 300x130 mm. The filling, as I already said, is caramelized honey cake).

For the first work you will need a ruler and... a calculator.
First you need to measure and write down all the values as in the photo.

I don’t remember, some little things were missed, for me they are not significant, since a lot is done by eye.

But these sizes will definitely come in handy for your work!
On the top right you see a red highlighted cap with 1.5 in it.
This is the correction factor for your drawing data to obtain the required machine dimensions.

For example, the length of the car according to the drawing is 192 mm, multiply by 1.5, we get 288 mm, this is the size of the bare filling, which you will have to further refine, so it’s not worth going exactly to 300 mm!

When you have found the coefficient for the required length, all other sizes are simply automatically recalculated, creating a first assistant for you.
If you neglect this simple method, WITHOUT art education skills, you will have problems. If you have an artistic education, but NOT A MECHANICAL, you will definitely have problems and they are clearly visible in live works.

Further.
What to do with a block of honey cake?
The answer is simple, something like this is what sculptors and surgeons say, shaking their sidelocks:
- Don't worry anymore. We just need to take a knife and cut off everything unnecessary!)
Sounds a little bloodthirsty

You can use the most exotic tools and techniques.
But you have the main thing, remember? DRAWING! And a ruler and a knife!
The rest is just a hindrance to you, try to feel the material you are working with, its pliability, the change in force on the tip of the knife, depending on the depth to which you plunged it into...

Bloodthirsty, yes, sorry))

All in all. I admit that you will need patterns; they can be made from thick cardboard from the packaging.
ATTENTION! to make accurate patterns, you need to adjust and print the image to the appropriate size, I think you can easily do this without my instructions, right?

It is possible to use wires, you can even use a Wurth ruler if you have nothing to do with the money, but in the photo for your attention I took out and demonstrate this miracle tool, which is actually more often used by modelers and some bodybuilders.

But in my opinion, it is better to develop your eye and spatial thinking than to waste time on unnecessary devices.
A DRAWING, a ruler and a knife are the main tools.
I only use them to make the case.

The car stands on wheels, mostly on them. How can you make it really look like a car on wheels, and not a pregnant cow on a support?

From a cardboard substrate of sufficient density... they are mainly used for substrates from 400 mm, cut out the outline of the vehicle at a distance of 15 mm.

Cut it out?

What is this for?
This is necessary so that the front and back of your sweet vehicle do not tend to fall onto the substrate. the cake will protrude BEYOND these boundaries by the specified amount; this is necessary for you to secure the coating. As you can see, everything is as simple and logical as possible!

Next, we cut out the panel, from the drawing we know that the ground clearance is 13.5 mm, so we cut it out.. 13!) Double-sided tape will be added to them on top for connection with the panel and at the bottom for assembly with the backing, when you install the cake, cover it with sugar paste, wrap the sills, and in the end you will have an authentic ground clearance of 13.5 mm!

As you can see in the photo, the cutting angle is not 45 degrees, it is much, much more aggressive!
What does this give?
And this is exactly the view when you see the cake from most angles, even if you bend down very close to it, the same view will be applied like this:

can you see the stand?
And she is! And quite tall!

Measure the angle at which the machine will be installed and secure the panel to the substrate using only 2 sides. scotch. There is no need to stick additional sticks in, your cake will not go anywhere! The body of the cake itself will stick quite firmly simply to the condensed milk.

I almost completely form the body on a working base and when leveling begins, the cake is transferred to the panel, and then the wheel arches are refined and cut out.

Since wheels make a car, if you make a wheel with a total diameter of not 52, but 62 mm, this will only be a plus for you, but when you get a wheel with a smaller diameter than the specified one, this is already a problem! Remember this! Big wheels - beautiful! Little...bue!

Wheels can be made using molds.
To do this, obviously you will need to buy a lot of different wheels, make a lot of molds)))
It's all about time and money. Well, often a person is categorically against everything that you may have prepared; he wants it exactly as in HIS sketch! wheels, take them out and put them in!
The size may also vary.
So... with the help of simple devices this can all be done quickly, fairly and not complicated.

Shine.
Steaming can help you!
This technique has its pros and cons, just like decorgel coatings and “I anointed, slightly diluting honey in ***.”

In any case, your car should be just perfect under the shine!
Objectively and indisputably. PERFECT!
Otherwise, all the pits, cones, bubbles and others will get out and will yell not tolerant "Negro Negro!" or something like that.

I want the cake to remain as much of a food product as possible, so that there is as little unnecessary stuff, dyes, decorgels on it as possible, and even more so, without wires, frames, etc.

If something is not clear, ask

Description

Cake "Machine" You should definitely cook it for your birthday if there is a man in your house, no matter how small or big. You shouldn’t think that such a dessert is exclusively a children’s dish; adults will be no less happy about it. Even a fifty-year-old man will be sincerely happy with such a tasty surprise. Making a cake in the shape of a machine, in particular baking it and decorating it, is not at all difficult. This will be confirmed by the master class below.

So, what is this cake? Its basis is classic honey cakes. Biscuit cakes are also quite suitable. You can either prepare them yourself using a recipe that has been proven over the years, or buy them at the store. The cream in this machine-shaped cake uses butter cream based on proteins. It turns out very tender and goes perfectly with honey cakes! As for decorating the cake, we will need mastic of different colors for it.: white, blue, yellow. In addition, you will need to stock up on chocolate-covered cookies. We will use it to make wheels for our car. Such cookies, as you understand, should be round in shape, and always have a hole inside.

Returning to the issue of making a cake, we would like to emphasize that you should not be afraid to take on making it yourself! You will definitely succeed. Study the step-by-step photo recipe below, and you will be convinced that even a novice in confectionery can prepare this original children's cake at home.

Ingredients

(5 pieces.)
(1 serving)
(white, blue, yellow)
(8 pcs.)

Cooking steps

At the first step of our master class, we will share with you the recipes for the cake layers and cream that were used to prepare this cake. Although you can skip this information and use your own proven recipes. Next, we will focus specifically on creating a “delicious machine.”

So, to prepare honey cakes, we will need the following products: wheat flour (2.5 cups), baking powder (1 tsp), baking soda (1 tsp), chicken eggs (3 pcs.), granulated sugar (1 glass), honey (3-4 tbsp). IN Mix all these ingredients, except flour, in a fairly deep container until a mass of homogeneous consistency is obtained. Then place the dough piece in a steam bath. We continue to beat the mass and do not stop until it increases by 2-2.5 times. Remove the saucepan with the future dough from the heat and let the dough cool slightly. Then gradually add flour into it, kneading the dough in the process. Place the finished honey dough in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Then we form cakes from it and bake each one at a temperature of 180 degrees for 3-4 minutes. The cakes should rise well during the baking process.

Now it's the turn of the cream. To prepare it we will need the following ingredients: egg whites (8 pcs.), sugar (450 g), salt (pinch), butter (600 g). So, mix the proteins and sugar, and then send this mixture to a water bath until the sugar dissolves in it. In the process, do not forget to carefully use the whisk. Leave the whites to cool, and at this time beat the softened butter until smooth. Then we return to the proteins. We will beat them with a mixer until soft peaks appear. Then little by little add the whipped butter to the whites. Continue beating the cream until it shines. Now we assemble our cake, spreading the honey cakes with butter cream. We leave one cake in reserve. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator to set for at least a couple of hours. After the previously specified time has passed, we begin to form our machine. To do this, we cut off the sides of the cake and place them on top of the base remaining for the machine. You can see what it looks like in the photo below.

We fill the void in the roof with the remaining honey cake.

Now we need to give the machine a more believable look. To do this, we create the desired shape for the roof and round the edges of the “tasty car.”

We grease the machine with the cream we prepared on top, and then put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Then we repeat this procedure a second time. Using cream, we level our cake, hiding any imperfections on it.

Roll out a sheet of food foil and sprinkle it with starch. Then roll out blue mastic on this sheet. We will simply turn it over onto the machine, carefully distributing it over the entire surface. Carefully cut off the excess part from below with a knife.

We form windows and headlights from white mastic. We place them in the right places. At the bottom of the machine we make a yellow edging.

We stock up on cookies suitable for creating wheels.

Using the cream we prepared, we glue the cookies in pairs, as shown in the photo.

Using yellow mastic we form these pear-shaped figures. We will use them to decorate the wheels.

We insert the yellow part into the hole of the wheel with the narrow side until it stops.

Then we turn the cookies over and flatten the protruding yellow part of the wheel on the table. The end result is wheels like those in the photo.

Insert a toothpick into the mastic on the back of the cookie. It is with this that we will secure the wheel on our car.

All that remains is to complete the decor of the cake using mastic. You can do exactly the same, or as your imagination tells you. This concludes our recipe, or, more correctly, step-by-step master class. The cake is not only spectacular in appearance, but also very tasty. Little, and even quite adult, the sweet tooth simply won’t be able to tear himself away from it!

Cream cake "Machine"

Ingredients:

Flour 2 cups;
Sugar 2 cups;
Eggs 8 pieces.

For decoration:

Cream 500 g;
Marmalade to taste;
Shortbread cookies 40 g;
Syrup 0.5 cups;
Candied fruits to taste.

Cooking method:

The cake requires two shortbread layers. Beat 4 eggs, gradually adding one glass of sugar. Then gradually add one glass of flour. Mix everything carefully with a wooden spoon until the flour is completely mixed. The dough is ready.

Place the dough in a rectangular shape. Bake for half an hour at 200 degrees. We duplicate the second cake: knead the dough, bake in the oven. The cakes should cool down. After this you can start creating.

To begin, cut the first cake layer into three parts. One of these parts must be in the shape of a rectangle. This is the basis of our machine. Cut it in half and soak each part with syrup or cream, add nuts, dried fruits, chocolate or whatever your child likes.

From the second cake we cut out the cabin and do the same with it as with the base. The most interesting activity is decorating the cake. The culinary imagination should help you here. You can make wheels from round cookies, headlights from sugar dragees, windows from marmalade.

The car can be colored with chocolate, cream or syrup. Here your imagination can turn ordinary food into a real work of art. After decorating the cake, place it in the refrigerator. It must be soaked for at least 10 hours.

Cake “Machine” without mastic

Ingredients:

For chocolate cakes:

Eggs 8 pieces;
Sugar 300 g;
Wheat flour 160 g;
Corn flour 65 g;
Cocoa powder 80 g;
Baking powder 10 g;
Corn oil 100 g.

For white cream:

Cream 200 g;
Powdered sugar 20 g;
Gelatin 2.5 g.

For the red cream:

Cream 350 g;
Powdered sugar 30 g;
Food coloring 2 g;

For decoration:

Sugar 5 tsp;
Cookies 60 g;
Butter 20 g;
Candies 5 pieces.

Cooking method:

Sift both flours (plain flour and cornmeal), baking powder and cocoa powder into a bowl. Divide the eggs into whites and yolks, then beat the whites with a mixer until soft peaks form, add sugar and continue beating until the mixture thickens.

Add the egg yolks one at a time without stopping beating. Add dry ingredients to the resulting fluffy mass, pour in the oil and knead the dough with gentle movements (it will be a little thicker in consistency than pancakes).

Pour half the dough into a parchment lined pan and bake for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 175 degrees. Remove the finished cake from the mold and let cool, placing it on a wire rack. Also bake a second crust using the remaining dough.

In a small saucepan, mix powdered sugar and gelatin, pour in some cream (50 g), stir. Heat the mixture in the microwave until it thickens slightly, then let cool to room temperature. In a chilled bowl, beat the remaining cream with a mixer until thick. Add the cooled gelatin mixture while whisking continuously. The cream will be thick and will hold its shape perfectly.

Cut each cake lengthwise (you will get four), cut one of the cakes in half crosswise, place the halves on top of each other and in the center of the remaining cakes. Grease the cakes and cut them into the final shape using a machine. Level the top of the cake with the remaining cream.

For red cream: beat well-chilled cream until fluffy, add powdered sugar and coloring. Whip until the cream holds its shape perfectly. Place the finished cream in a pastry bag and, using a star tip, pipe small meringues all over the cake (don’t forget to leave gaps for the windshield, where the eyes will be, and for the headlights and mouth).

Make the wheels from cookies, the eyes from small round chocolates, the inscription and sign from butter whipped with sugar. Leave the cake in the refrigerator for an hour, after which you can serve it!

Cake "Funny Car" for a children's party

Ingredients:

Protein custard:

agar-agar ⅓ tsp;
sugar 140 g;
food coloring to taste;
water 40 g;
egg whites 2 pcs.

Additionally:

condensed milk to taste;
butter 50 g;
refined vegetable oil ½ tsp;
black bitter chocolate 80 g;
Jubilee milk cookies 150 g.

Strawberry soufflé:

sour cream 30% 100 g;
sugar 80 g;
gelatin 8 g;
strawberry syrup 2 tbsp. l.;
lemon zest to taste;
frozen strawberries 200 g.

Curd soufflé:

milk 3 tbsp. l.;
gelatin 10 g;
vanillin 1 pinch;
fat cottage cheese 250 g;
condensed milk 150 g.

sugar 100 g;
vanillin 1 g;
refined vegetable oil 2 tbsp. l.;
boiling water 2 tbsp. l.;
egg yolks 2 pcs.;
flour 100 g;
chicken eggs 2 pcs.

Impregnation:

strawberry syrup 120 g;
cognac 1 g.

Cooking method:

We bake the biscuit using your usual technology. Mold 18 cm. Cut the cooled biscuit into three layers.

While the biscuit is baking, let's make wheels for the machine. If possible, you can simply buy round chocolate-covered cookies; if not, then squeeze out circles from regular cookies using a round notch.

Melt the chocolate, add half a teaspoon of vegetable oil, stir. We cover our blanks with chocolate, put them on parchment and put them in the refrigerator until required.

Soak the cakes with strawberry syrup; you can add liqueur to the syrup. For the curd soufflé, combine cottage cheese and condensed milk. Blend until you obtain a homogeneous, smooth paste. Carefully mix in the pre-soaked and melted gelatin in milk.

Place on a soaked layer of biscuit enclosed in a ring. Cover with a second layer of biscuit. We put it in the refrigerator.

Beat the sour cream to stable peaks with half the sugar (40 g). Puree the strawberries with sugar and the zest of half a lemon using an immersion blender. Combine whipped sour cream, strawberry puree and pre-soaked and melted gelatin in strawberry syrup. Gently mix until smooth. Pour the soufflé onto the dough with curd soufflé

Cover with the last layer of biscuit and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. When the soufflé has completely hardened, you can release our workpiece from the ring.

From the resulting workpiece, we symmetrically cut off the same segment on both sides and place the straight side on top of the base. Ideally, we should cut pieces such that their total thickness is equal to the width of the base. We get a cabin based on. If you didn’t guess with its width, and it turned out wider than the base, it doesn’t matter - we’ll carefully trim it.

Trim part of the cabin to give the desired slope to the front “glass” and make the cabin commensurate with the entire structure. Grind the resulting scraps in a blender, add a little condensed milk to obtain a viscous and sticky mass with which we will glue the machine parts.

Now generously coat the joints with the resulting mixture. We place half of the cabin on the base, coat the joint with adhesive again and place the second part of the cabin.

Cover the entire machine with a “potato cake” type mixture to smooth out all the irregularities and joints. Grind the cookies in a blender. Add butter and condensed milk to the crumbs. The mass should not be too dry, mold well, but not be too wet. Cover the sides of the machine with a thin layer of “potato” mixture. The car immediately takes on recognizable shape.

For the final coating, prepare a protein custard from the indicated ingredients. We coat the car with white cream in the places where there will be windows and headlights. Tint the remaining cream in the chosen color and transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a round or star tip.

We glue the wheels onto the cream to the machine and then begin to deposit the cream, forming droplets. We must plant them very close to each other so that there is no visible gap between them. Plan in advance where the windows, headlights and their shape will be. If you wish, you can use melted chocolate to draw eyes, eyebrows, a mouth on the typewriter, and apply the necessary inscriptions.

While the biscuit is baking, let’s cut out the base of the machine - the shape it should be, so that later we can cut out all the biscuits without “by eye”. We assemble the machine: put the biscuit on the mold, cut it to the shape of the template, grease it with cream. Place the cake maker in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

All parts are based on white mastic; the parts are cut out and then painted with food paint in different colors. It's time to take the cake out of the refrigerator and put it in order. We cut off the excess, that is, we bring the shape of our cake closer to the shape of the car. Cover the entire car with cream and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for 6–7 hours.

Making wheels: you can make a round shape from cookies and wrap it with fondant, which you have tinted black. We make tinted windows. Roll out a large layer of mastic and cover the cake machine with it. We smooth it out with our hands, cut off the excess, attach wheels, flashing lights, letters and headlights. We tint the bottom of the car using a brush and food paint.

How to work with mastic correctly

There will be no folds on the sides if you roll out the mastic with a large margin and when you start covering, the mastic will stretch well under its own weight and lie flat.

The leveling cream under the mastic should be very good. well cured so that no dents appear during coating.
Leave at least 10–15 cm in reserve around the entire circumference. Then there is weight and the mastic can pull back.
Any sugar mastic can be stored for several days, up to a week, in well-closed plastic bags or plastic containers.
There is nothing to spoil in sugar mastic; it is important to simply protect the mastic from air so that it does not dry out and from moisture so that the mastic does not get wet.

Knowing the simple rules of working with cream and mastic, you can prepare an excellent, spectacular, delicious “Machine” cake - to the delight of all guests and loved ones!
