- biscuit cakes;
- butter, custard, or whipped cream;
- white cake paste;
- food colors in three colors;
- black currant or raisins;
- water;
- silicone rolling pin;
- knife.
If you want the cake to be the same tricolor, then dilute each color in water, in a separate container. Saturate a specific crust with syrup of your color.
You can make your own food coloring using blackcurrant, spinach, and beetroot juice.
The same dyes will be needed to give the desired shade to the mastic. But first, you need to assemble the cake. Layering the cakes with cream, lay one on top of the other. Place the cake in the refrigerator for an hour, then roll out the white mastic, cover the cake with a sheet of this sweet flexible material.
The mastic will stick to it better if you grease the cake with butter cream beforehand.
Cut off excess mastic, add more. It needs to be divided into 3 parts, in each add a little food coloring. Roll the mastic into a layer. Attach a template for an owl or any other character to it, cut out according to this pattern.
Dip a culinary brush in water, moisten some of the mastic on the cake, attach an owl blank here. Glue them all in the same way.
Roll up round eyes from the remains of the white mastic. Place a blackcurrant or one raisin in the center of each to make the pupils. But first soak the raisins in warm water for 20 minutes to soften.
It is not necessary to make eyes on all the blanks, perhaps some owls have their backs turned to the viewer.
