Master class: how to make figures from the cartoon "Frozen"
In order to decorate a children's cake, edible figures are perfect.
To make them, you need mastic in the following colors:
- white;
- blue;
- pink;
- yellow.
You can take ready-made colored mastic or use food coloring and color it yourself, dividing into equal parts.
Here's how to make Queen Elsa at home:
- Take a pink or flesh-colored mastic, fashion an oval of the face, outline the location of the eyes, nose and mouth.
- Where there will be eyes, outline their contours and fill with white.
- To make the pupils, you need mastic of black and blue hue.
- Using the curved brown line, mark the eyebrows and the thin red line the mouth.
- Outline the general contour of the hair, fill it with mastic of golden tone.
- Using a toothpick, apply a pattern in the form of curly strands or pigtails.
- The parts of the body are molded separately and combined into a figure. To make the body, a wooden rod fixed in a stable position is treated with mastic. A thin layer of blue mastic in the form of a dress is applied to the body, a narrowing in the waist area is planned, a prominent convex chest is formed. Where the hands should be, the wire is first drawn out, a mastic of blue tone is applied to it, where there should be sleeves of the dress and flesh-colored - imitation of the palms. Thanks to the inserted wire, hands are attached to any position.
You can work with your fingers, a thin toothpick or a wooden skewer, as well as a stack, which is often included in children's plasticine modeling kits.
Anna's figurine is made according to the same principle, only a mastic of a different color scheme is taken. Hair and eyes can be any color. The main thing is that the image itself should be recognizable. It will be nice to sketch on paper a sketch of a mastic doll before starting to sculpt it, then it will be much easier to work. In addition to princesses made of mastic, on the cake you can put three mugs of meringues (on top of each other) and make them a Snowman - another hero of the popular cartoon "Frozen". A snowman can be placed in the center, and princesses on the sides.
