How nice it is to be small: you can do whatever you want, wake up when you want, and turn every day into a real holiday. And it is especially good to be a child, because for him any event becomes a truly enchanting event!
A bunch of guests come, everyone gives gifts, and there are a lot of delicious things on the table, including cake - the main childish joy. Being essentially not only a treat, but also a kind of prize for obedience and good behavior, the cake equally well decorates both name days and graduation from kindergarten and even New Year's Eve.
But how to create such a treat so that the baby likes it? How to decorate a cake and what can be taken as its basis? Finally, what is needed in order to create not just a cake, but a whole work of art for a children's party?
What to take cakes?
To truly surprise today's kids purchased cakes it won’t work for sure: they are too accustomed to “mediocrity” and want something more. And adults perceive store-bought sweets as an ordinary consumer product, and not the best treat in the world.
To really create beautiful cake for a child, you can take purchased waffle cakes as a basis, and then decorate them, giving free rein to your imagination. You can also bake biscuit, shortbread, honey, protein shortcakes at home - the main thing is that the cooking process should be a joy to you.
Well, then you can take up the design work with a pure heart.
What cakes do kids love the most?
Of course, they are large - if only because a lot of all kinds of decorations are placed on them, which can later be eaten. And the fact that the children present at the holiday will not fight for one of the two cherries on the cake, if there are twenty of them, cannot be discounted either.
In addition, various small decorations are another reason to “spin” the baby to a rhyme or a song sung about a sweet that has come across.
No greasy
Remember that almost all adults love fatty creams, but not all children. They prefer condensed milk, nuts, chocolate, ice cream and fruits. Also in priority for any child are colored cakes doused with protein cream and decorated with bird's milk figurines.
Heroes matter!
Choosing the figures with which you will decorate baby cake, remember that they should look like fairy-tale characters, bright cars, magic bows or flattering little animals. It is they who turn any treat into real magic on the table.
What is culinary mastic?
One of the most popular types of decorating children's cakes is mastic, which is divided into 3 types:
- sugar;
- floral;
- mexican pasta.
The principles of dividing it into types
Sugar is suitable for wrapping cakes and coating gingerbread and cakes. Floral mastic is used to create flowers and decorations on treats.
Finally, those who like to sculpt something truly magical for cakes use Mexican mastic.
Also, mastic can be both white and colored. True, the latter is much more expensive and it makes sense to make it yourself at home, simply painting it in the desired color during cooking.
How to make mastic with your own hands?
At home, you can easily prepare gelatin mastic and marshmallow paste. But since the first one is completely unsuitable for sculpting figures for children's (and not only) desserts, we will teach you how to cook the second one.
Recipe
- marshmallows: 100 grams;
- powdered sugar: 250 grams;
- starch: 90 grams;
- lemon juice: 1 tbsp. l.;
- butter: 1h l.
The Importance of Using Starch
If you have already seen similar recipes on the Internet, you probably noticed that some of them advise mixing marshmallows with powdered sugar without adding starch.
Be aware: such mastic turns out to be quite fragile and it will be quite difficult to work with it at home.
Step-by-step instruction
- First of all, you need to pour the marshmallows from the bag into the pan, then to melt it thoroughly.
- The pan should stand in a water bath. Be sure to stir the candy until it dissolves.
- Prepare the dye in advance if you want the mastic to be colored. It can be added to marshmallows during liquefaction.
- Mix the powder with starch, after sifting them. As soon as the marshmallow is melted, add the mixture to it so that the mass thickens.
- Put the mastic on a flat surface, sprinkled with powdered sugar and hands, greased in butter, knead the paste thoroughly so that it does not stick to your hands. Then wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
The nuances of cooking
- Grind the powdered sugar before kneading it into the melted marshmallow. Otherwise, the finished mastic for cakes will begin to tear.
- Keep an eye on the density of the resulting mixture, trying not to overdo it with the addition of powdered sugar and dye.
- Ready mastic is stored in the refrigerator for 4 months.

How to tighten the cork?
Before decorating the cake, you must cover the pre-prepared cake with mastic. To do this, roll it into a large cake right on the table, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Make the cake large (with a margin of about 10 cm) so that when you cover the cake, you can do it evenly. Wrap the cake with rolled mastic.
Wait a few minutes, and then use a round pizza cutter to cut off "anything extra". Now the cake is really ready.
How to mold a figurine?
It's no secret that children on the cake most of all like figurines from children's cartoons. For example, Smeshariki or Fixies.
Sculpt Nolik
- First, we will fashion a head for Nolik from mastic. To do this, we will form a small blue ball, dry it a little and make a hairstyle on the hero’s head.
- Cut out a circle from the mastic - exactly the size of the head, making its edges pointed. Now glue the “hair” to the head in several layers with glue. It will be convenient if you put it on a toothpick before that.
- Now "draw" the details of the face: mouth, nose and eyes - as shown in the photo.
- Let's leave Nolik's head alone so that it dries out, and at this time we will fashion his body, arms and legs.
- As a result, you should get a figure of a little man, which you will also fasten to a toothpick: it must pass through the leg of Nolik so that he rests on it.
- Attach the limbs to the torso, think over the details of the costume and put the head on the tip of the toothpick that sticks out of Nolik's neck. Powder your hair with kandurin (a special shimmering food pigment) to add shine - and the fairy-tale hero is ready!
Sculpt Smesharik Barash
Smeshariki are molded much easier, and all because they are round.
- In order to create this hero, you need to form a ball with a diameter of 4 cm (this is about 30 grams of mastic), leaving another 20 grams for details.
- When you make a few balls (depending on how many Smeshariki will be on your cake), let them all dry for 12 hours.
- When the mastic dries and stops deforming under your fingers, you can continue to work on fixing the small details of the cartoon Lamb.
- To mold this Smesharik, you must prepare not only legs and arms, but also funny curls. Dried, they can be attached to the hero's head with glue, and horns and ears can be placed on top of them.
- The final touch is the addition of a nose, mouth and eyes to Barash.

You will find another interesting master class on making a cake with figures from the popular game Angry Birds, molded from mastic, in the following video:
We decorate a cake for a child with cream
Many children love cakes decorated with abundance delicious cream, however, you need to know in advance whether they like protein or oil. So you not only do not upset the child, but also do not make a mistake in choosing the ingredients.
It is best if the cake cream is oily, because it holds its shape well. We will tell you how to cook it yourself.
Butter Cream Ingredients
- butter - 100 grams;
- condensed milk - 5 tbsp. l.
Beat the softened butter with a mixer until you get a fluffy mass for decoration. Enter condensed milk into it, without stopping whisking for a minute, so that the cream turns out to be magnificent.
How to decorate a cake with cream?
In order to create something truly beautiful on the cake and without mastic, you should use special tools for decorating cakes. We are talking about confectionery syringes with different nozzles.
Do you have such tools in your home arsenal? Dont be upset! Just fold a plain white sheet of paper into a bag and cut off the tip.
Hold the resulting bag tightly in your hands so that it does not turn around, and fill it to the top with cream. Now close the top of the sheet and, by clicking on it, boldly decorate the cake.
Decorating a children's cake with fruits
Fruits are a great decoration for children's birthday desserts. It is up to you to choose which ones you will use in the process.
Remember that with the help of fruits, you can not only completely lay the surface of the cake, but also create fabulous characters. So half a strawberry can become a cat's ears, and a whole berry can serve as eyes for her.
exotic
To make the fruit decoration look more exotic, you can put them on a chilled cake, and then dilute jelly or regular gelatin in water.
Then, picking up a wide brush, you need to apply the resulting mixture to the fruit and put the cake in the fridge.
The procedure for varnishing should be repeated again after 30 minutes. So the fruit on the cake will look much juicier, and the design itself will not fall apart during the cutting process.
Decorating a children's cake with icing
Recipe for making chocolate icing
If you decide to pour the sweetness with chocolate icing, you must first prepare it. To do this, use a mixer (at low speed) to knead the butter (melted) and cocoa powder.
Then you need to pour powdered sugar, warm milk into the mass and mix everything again. When the mixture becomes smooth, you need to add vanilla essence to it and salt a little.
Glaze technique
Place the cake on the turntable and use a professional icing spatula. Alternatively, use a wide knife. Use it to spread a little of the icing on the cake, unroll and pour the icing while moving over its surface.
Hold the knife or spatula strictly at an acute angle towards the surface. In this case, the thickness of the glaze is regulated by strengthening or weakening the pressing of the tool and changing the angle of inclination.
Making the coverage even
Remove the cake from the stand and level the frosting in one continuous, straight motion. Repeat the procedure if it didn't work the first time. Remove the rest of the decoration from the edges of the cake and let it dry for 2-3 hours. After the time has passed, apply the frosting to the sides of the cake as well.
Chocolate chips are a worthy alternative for the main dessert
This is the easiest and most affordable way to make a beautiful children's cake on hastily. Moreover, there is chocolate or sweets in almost every home.
How to make it?
Grate the chocolate bar or just put it in a warm place for a while, and then cut off small chips from it with a knife: they will wrap under its pressure.
Decorating baby food
Now spread your hands curls on a flat plate and refrigerate. Sprinkle them over the cake as soon as they are well set.
Summing up
For most children appearance cake is much more important than how the delicacy will taste. Therefore, in order for your child to be satisfied with the result, try to decorate the cake, taking into account his interests.
But here's how to decorate a children's cake for a boy with your own hands?
First you need to decide on the plot and materials. Cake decorations for a boy can be either mastic or cream. The hero in this master class will be Thomas the engine.
DIY children's cake for a boy
To create a cake, we need:
- a small amount of white mastic;
- black food coloring;
- chocolate or any other dense biscuit;
- powdered sugar or starch;
- toothpicks;
- tools for creating facial features, you can get by with suitable improvised means;
- dense cream of blue, yellow, red and black;
- small rock;
- pastry bag;
- small spatula and brush;
- lollipop stick;
- toy train as a model.
So, let's start creating a little masterpiece.
- We pinch off a small piece of mastic and gradually adding black dye, knead it.
- In order to make it more convenient to work, dust the table with powdered sugar or starch. Otherwise, when work begins on the details of the face, the mastic may stick and everything will deteriorate. Some use a silicone mat or parchment as a backing.
- Thus, we select the amount of the necessary dye to get a gray color like that of the model. If you suddenly get a very dark color, you can always add a little white mastic and fix everything.
- We roll an even ball, leaving a small piece for details.
- We roll it with a rolling pin into a round, not thin cake and start working on facial features. We determine the center of the face and make a notch with a small spatula.
- Using your finger, lift the edge and widen the hole.
- We roll up a small ball and insert it into the recess.
- We cover the ball from above with the previously raised material and smooth down a little. Above the nose we make indentations for the eyes, in parallel forming the bridge of the nose.
- We set the shape of the mouth, especially carefully working out the corners.
- We pinch off a small piece of white mastic and make a smile in accordance with the size of the intended mouth, flattening a little in the corners.
- We grease the back side of the part with water and insert it into the prepared recess, press down a little to perfectly connect. With the help of a toothpick, we outline the folds and wrinkles.
- Using the same technology as the nose, we make cheeks, only a little smaller.
- Raise, insert smooth.
- We go through the joints with a wet brush to perfectly align everything and make it glossy.
- From white mastic we cut out eyes, and from black we make pupils.
- Eyebrows will be black triangles. At this stage, insert the wand carefully so as not to damage the face. After such painstaking work on the details, you feel like a plastic surgeon, because it is not so easy to “revive” a face. It is better to do this work in advance, a few days in advance, so that it dries up and does not glass when the cake is ready. It is better to dry it on a flat flat surface face up.
Now let's get to the main part of making the cake.
You can please the birthday man not only with a cake with the image of a train. Given the wishes and special preferences of the boy, you can even make his dream come true in the form of a dessert.
