It is not necessary to be a professional pastry chef to make a Fixies cake. It is enough just to have a great desire to please your little sweet tooth.

Cake with fixings for a boy from mastic

The basis of such a dessert can be any cake decorated with one of the methods described below. And those housewives who are just beginning to master the “sweet” art can bake a delicate biscuit cake with a tasty and healthy curd cream. It can be supplemented with fruit.

To bake a delicious biscuit cake with your favorite characters of the cartoon “Fixies” for shortcakes you need to take:

  • 2 eggs;
  • 3 g of salt;
  • 220 g of sugar;
  • 8 g of vanilla sugar;
  • 90 g of vegetable oil;
  • 240 ml of kefir;
  • 7.5 g of soda;
  • 5 g of baking powder;
  • 30 g of starch;
  • 260 g of flour.

With such moist biscuit cakes, a universal curd cream will perfectly combine:

  • 50 g of powdered sugar;
  • 50 g of condensed milk;
  • 180 g butter;
  • 250 g of 9% cottage cheese.

Baking and cake decoration:

  1. Mix warm kefir with soda, and when foam appears on the surface of the fermented milk product, pour in vegetable oil and stir.
  2. Sift flour and mix with baking powder and salt. Beat eggs with both types of sugar until fluffy. Then, alternately introduce the flour mixture and kefir with vegetable oil into the egg foam.
  3. Cakes of any shape are baked from the finished dough at 190 - 200 degrees. Before assembly, they must be allowed to lie down overnight in the refrigerator, wrapped with cling film.
  4. For cream, beat soft butter with white sugar and powdered sugar.To beat the cottage cheese and condensed milk with an immersion blender until a homogeneous paste. Then, so that the cream does not exfoliate, mix both masses with a spatula.
  5. Separate sponge cake layers with cream. They also align the surface and sidewalls.

Further, there are two options for the manufacture of mastic fixer figures.

  • The first is to make cartoon characters with your own hands. For this, in addition to mastic, stacks for work and a certain perseverance will be required in order to translate into reality what was intended.
  • For the second option you will need silicone molds, which can be bought at candy stores, and mastic. A piece of mastic is distributed over the mold and sent for a few seconds to the microwave, so that the mass gets into even the most inaccessible places. Then the figurine is allowed to solidify in the freezer, after which the individual elements of the figurine are removed and, if necessary, painted or drawn.

Ready mastic figures can only be placed on the prepared cake. They can be supplemented with multi-colored nuts, bolts and cogs cut out of mastic, as well as good wishes to the little birthday boy.

Dessert for a girl

When preparing a cake with fixings for a girl, it is better to decorate it with such cartoon characters as Simka, Vert and Shpulya. It’s only without at least initial modeling skills that it will be difficult to reproduce these figures from mastic. But there is another option for a mastic decor - a color picture-application of sugar paste.

Having picked up a beautiful picture from your favorite cartoon, you need to prepare food colors and mastic from marshmallows:

  • 100 g marshmallows chewing marshmallows;
  • 200 to 300 g of powdered sugar;
  • 20 ml of lemon juice.

How to cook mastic and make an application of it:

  1. In a steam bath or microwave, melt the marshmallows with lemon juice. Then gradually add the sifted powder to the resulting mass, kneading the sweet dough.
  2. To paint the mixed mastic in the necessary colors, wrap each colored lump with a film and let them lie in the cold for about one hour.
  3. Each detail of the image is cut separately from paper, and then from mastic of the corresponding color, rolled into a layer with a thickness of 3-4 mm.
  4. Collect from colored mastic parts a picture on the surface of a cake lined with cream or covered with mastic.
  5. If necessary, small elements can be drawn with a brush.

For the glossy shine of mastic, you can walk on it with a brush dipped in vodka. Do not worry about the presence of alcohol in a children's dessert - it will evaporate very quickly from the surface.

This option is suitable for beginner cake makers, since it requires a minimum of material and time costs. Making a Fixies cake with a waffle picture with your favorite characters is no more difficult than making an application out of paper, but still there are a number of nuances that must be taken into account.

  • waffle picture;
  • decor gel;
  • scissors;
  • faux brush.

Too wet creams (custard, protein and various Kurds) are not suitable for leveling, the picture on them may float and melt.
  2. Disinfect scissors by wiping them with vodka or alcohol. Then cut the waffle picture to the size of the cake. With a brush dipped in decor gel, walk along the wrong side of the picture and gently stick it on the cake.
  3. Next, flatten the image on the cake with a dry paper towel, paying particular attention to the edges. They must be pressed down so as not to puff. After that, it remains only to cover the image with a decor gel for glossy shine and, possibly, add additional decorative elements.

With gingerbread cookies

Gingerbread cookies have one advantage - they retain their palatability for up to six months when stored in a tightly closed container.

 

It is very convenient for decorating a homemade cake. It is possible to make the decor in advance, and then simply decorate the gingerbread treats.

How to do with photo printing

More and more often on the Internet and in various cities you can find companies engaged in edible printing. And while most sweet-tooths have a negative attitude to decorating cakes with photographs of living people, the beautiful image of the characters from the beloved cartoon will delight everyone and, above all, the little birthday boy.

An example of decorating a cake with a waffle picture was described above, but there is another basis for edible printing - sugar paper.

Although it is more expensive, in comparison with the waffle analogue, it has its advantages:

  • the ability to place on absolutely any kind of cream without fear that the picture will float;
  • it’s unnecessary to buy additional decor gel - the image will be bright without it.

How to decorate the Fixiki cake with sugar photo printing:

  1. Cut the sugar picture to the size of the cake.
  2. Remove the protective film from the paper and transfer it to the prepared cake.
  3. With movements from the center to the edges, smooth the image, expelling air from under the paper.

With toppers

The “Fixics” cake from mastic is made out not only with sugar figures or applique. Mastic can become the basis for toppers, by analogy with gingerbread decorations.

In the manufacturing process of such mastic ornaments, you may need:

  • mastic (you can buy it or make it yourself from chewing marshmallows);
  • waffle or sugar images of cartoon characters;
  • decor gel;
  • food colors and brushes;
  • bamboo skewers.

The sequence of manufacturing toppers:

  1. Roll the mastic thick enough so that after the skewer is inserted in it, it does not tear and does not deform. Usually, 5-7 mm is enough.
  2. Insert a skewer on one side of the mastic. Then attach a picture for the future topper and carefully cut the mastic along the contour.
  3. If wafer or sugar images are used, then they are glued with decor gel and allowed the mastic substrate to completely harden.
  4. If the picture is drawn with one's own hand, then first it is painted with food colors, and then the topper is dried.
  5. Ready decor is placed on the prepared cake and complemented with other sweet decorations (sweets, meringues, marshmallows, cookies and others).

Cake Decorating Ideas

Leafing through the images of cakes decorated in the style of "Fixics", it seems that to do this yourself will be impossible. But having studied in detail the above options for jewelry, you can easily create your own unique children's cake.

 

It is not necessary to use only one type of decor, they can be combined with each other: cream decoration and individual elements from mastic, gingerbread toppers and mastic figures.

Do not be afraid of mistakes and give up when you first fail, because no one immediately became a great pastry chef. Remember that a daughter or a son will appreciate his mother’s efforts, rather than the photographic accuracy of the reproduction of the cartoon characters.
