The main reason to go about preparing a cake is Birthday. It is on the example of the birthday cake that we will analyze our first decor technology.
The first thing you'll have to face is rolling out the mastic and applying it to the surface of the cake. The cake wrapping with mastic is not a problem even for beginners. For rolling use special plastic rolling-pin, on which the layers of mastic are wound before application. The rolled mastic is then carefully laid out on the surface, gently untwisting the rolling pin from itself. Using a putty knife, the mastic is smoothed.
Our cake is decorated with a gift box, so now we are going to cut ribbons. Roll out the white mastic, cut it into ribbons and place them exactly crosswise. An additional decor will be circles of dark blue mastic, which are cut out and applied to the surface randomly. To make the circles easier to attach, they are greased with a drop of water.
If you want, you can leave a birthday letter with a congratulatory message on the mastic with food paint.
The final stroke is a bow which is also attached to the surface with a drop of water.
The bow itself is easy to blind, too. Form a loop from the mastic tape and squeeze it at the intersection site. Place the compression site with a piece of mastic.

It is not necessary to cover the whole cake with mastic, if you have not learned how to work with it. It is much quicker to supplement the main decor of the cake with elements made of mastic, as we decided to do here.
The top of our multi-colored cake will be decorated with a rainbow made of mastic. For modeling the rainbow, roll out a small amount of mastic of all colors and cut into strips. Connect the colored strips together with a drop of water.
For stability, a molded rainbow is fastened on the basis of a layer of mastic of any color also using a small amount of water.
Surplus are cropped.
Folding the rainbow with a crescent moon, straighten it at the base.
Place the grounds of the base with clouds from the rolled blue mastic. Such clouds are cut with the help of cutting in the form of a flower, and the finished form is cut in half and slightly rounded at the base.
When the figure dries, gently attach a pair of toothpicks to it with a drop of melted chocolate. Place the figurine on top of the cake strewn with colored sugar balls.
