How to cook a cake "Dinosaur"?
First you need to prepare all the necessaryIngredients. Give the cakes the shape of a dinosaur, cutting them with a special pattern. Once everything is ready, you can start creating treats. Put the cakes on the table, covered with cling film or oilcloth. If there are several cakes, or one cake is cut into several pieces, you should use the cream to mix the biscuit. Then you need to give the cake a cheerful green color. To do this, take the food dye and whip it together with butter cream. The resulting "greens" gently coat the future cake from all sides. There should be no gaps through which the cake peeps, nor too thick non-uniform strokes, so as not to create the impression that we are not in front of a cake, but an oil painting. The product should be smeared evenly with a spoon or cooking spatula.
All is ready?It is time to move on to decorating the delicacy. Now you need jelly, cut into triangles and circles. We place the triangles on the back, the head and the tail, evenly, slightly pressing into the biscuit, but not too hard, so as not to spoil the dish. Circles can decorate the belly of the future dinosaur. Came the turn of the peephole. With whipped cream we draw two big points on the face. In the middle of each cream mug press black dragee or prune. Dinosaur eyes are ready! If you want them to be more expressive and brilliant, you can use cream to draw another point already on the black “pupil”.
Final touches
Наш древний гость из прошлого почти готов, но missing the final touch. Dragees or other round candies decorate the body of an edible reptile at your discretion - here you can show imagination and call on the imagination to help. Remember that many children's cakes are beautiful and original, the dinosaur should really hit and surprise your guests. At the end of all the work with a pastry spatula, we carefully draw the dinosaur “smile”. Or you can lay out the shape of candy or candy prunes. The choice is yours. That's all.

How to make an unusual cake with dinosaurs from mastic?
First you need to decide on the appearanceproducts, feature location of parts on it. It is advisable to sketch a sketch on which the details of the future delicacy will be clearly visible. Then you can start cooking treats. Knead the mastic, adding to it food dyes. After the mastic is ready, gently cover it with the future cake with dinosaurs. To do this, roll it out with a rolling pin, making sure that the diameter of the sweet coating was 2 times the diameter of the cake. In order for the coating to turn out smooth and brilliant, it is worth walking a few times through it with an iron. Then gently hook the resulting paste with a rolling pin and transfer it to the cake, gently smoothing all the folds and irregularities. The future delicacy is almost ready, it remains to add the main thing - dinosaurs. To create them, we roll out a ball of mastic of the corresponding color in the hand and sculpt the torso, legs, and head of the guest from the past in turn. Sculpting mastic is very similar to the process of creating figures from plasticine. It is necessary to glue the parts with alcohol or water, make sure that they are firmly connected to each other.
Shutdown
After the figures are glued, you need themput on the future cake with dinosaurs. We put the products on a toothpick, trying to do it carefully and carefully. We continue to sculpt the figures to taste and also sit them all over the surface of the delicacy. At the end of the work with a pastry syringe, you can write a greeting on the cake. And it is possible to cut out letters from mastic and lay out words from them. In any case, the cake with dinosaurs will turn out to be unusual and very beautiful. Original cakes can be safely given - they will make a unique impression on the recipient. A meal of mastic with representatives of the ancient animal world and the cake "Dinosaur", made with their own hands, is an excellent idea for a gift for a kid of any age.
