Cooking

Bake rectangular biscuit cakes according to any recipe, choosing the flavoring and filling to your liking (it can be cinnamon, saffron, vanilla, nuts, citruses, candied fruits, etc.).

Align the cakes if they are not the same size and cut lengthwise into several layers (depending on the thickness of the cakes). If desired, the corners of the cakes can be slightly rounded.

Lightly soak the cakes in the syrup.

Prepare any cream for the layer of cakes. It is desirable that it be thick and viscous.

Assemble the cake by smearing the cakes with cream and stacking on top of each other. In addition to the cream, you can use finely chopped fruits or chopped nuts, but make sure that they do not crawl out of the sides and affect the shape of the cake.

After assembly, carefully coat the entire cake with a thick, smooth layer of white cream (without fillers), leveling the side surfaces.

Put the cake blank in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours so that the cream thickens well.

Roll out the green fondant into a large thin layer, matching it to the size of your cake.

Carefully transfer the fondant to the chilled cake, spread it so that it covers it completely. Cut off the excess, glue the joints with water.

Roll out the mastic white color and cut it into thin strips that will be needed to mark the field. To make the stripes even, mark the desired lines on the cake with a toothpick or a stack, and then stick the strips of white mastic.

Install finished gates. They can be pre-made from icing and dried, or from white chocolate(freeze individual parts, and then fasten with melted chocolate).

If desired, the cake can be decorated with balls from small pieces of biscuit also covered with mastic, player figures and other items related to football.

The inscriptions on the cake can be applied using a food felt-tip pen, or cut out letters and numbers from confectionery mastic.

Options for decorating cakes "Football field"

We invite you to the collections:

It is not difficult to create a gate from mastic. Buying at confectionery cakes and cakes, you often pay attention to beautiful cakes, decorated with various flowers, insects or some kind of cartoon scene. Usually, such decorations are made from mastic or icing, since they can be eaten without harm to health, but today we will only talk about mastic and creating gates from it.

The first step is to prepare the mastic of the desired color. This is the most important thing in how to make mastic gates that look like real ones. For football goals - white, and for any other - the one that matches the color, or at your discretion. Let's start with football goals. Football goals can be created in one simple way.

Mash the mastic and divide it into several parts, then make three large sticks that will become the basis of our gate. Fasten them with the letter "P", and from the remaining mastic make thinner sticks that will be a grid. Now let's take a small box, suitable in size to the gate you need.

Wrap the box with paper, and then with cling film, then we begin to make the gate. First, we attach the base of our gate to the box, then we begin to make a grid from thin sticks. We wait until the mastic dries, and very carefully remove our gates and install them on the cake. Other gates can be made without using a box, using plasticine stacks. The main thing is that you have a clear idea of ​​​​the end result.

Cake fondants can be made from different materials, but the most common are sugar and marshmallow fondants. Of these, you can make football goals from mastic. About creation sugar mastic we'll talk in more detail. First, pour gelatin with water and wait 40 minutes until it swells. After that, heat it in a water bath, add margarine, glucose, mix well and leave to cool.

After the mass has cooled, we begin to stir it by adding powdered sugar until thick enough to mix with your hands. Sprinkle the cutting table with powdered sugar and make a slide out of it. We spread our gelatinous mass into this slide and stir until the mastic resembles plasticine. If you want to do colored mastic, then at the beginning of cooking, add the dye of the desired color to the gelatin.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in working with mastic. Just remember how you worked with plasticine as a child, and show a little imagination. With the help of mastic, you can create unique cakes that both adults and children will appreciate, the main thing is to improvise and try to come up with something new and unusual.

Football field cake recipe

Combine sugar, sour cream and vanilla in a container, mix. Soak gelatin in water and leave to swell (about 10 minutes). After that, put on fire and, without bringing to a boil and stirring, wait until the grains are completely dissolved. In small portions, add gelatin to a mixture of sugar and sour cream. Stir constantly during the process.

Cover the baking dish with cling film. Pour the mixture of sugar, sour cream and gelatin, smooth the surface. Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Prepare the dough. Break the eggs into a bowl, add sugar, beat lightly with a fork. Add sour cream to the egg-sugar mass. Mix thoroughly.

Sift the flour, add to the dough together with soda, mix. Pour cocoa powder into the dough. Stir and make sure that there are no lumps left in the mass. Remove the filling from the refrigerator, remove it from the mold and return to the refrigerator. Grease the form with oil, pour the dough into it, smooth the surface. Place in an oven preheated to 170 degrees and bake until done (about 25-30 minutes).

Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Combine sour cream and sugar and grind until sugar dissolves. Prepare the mastic: chop marshmallows, put in a metal bowl, pour water. Melt the marshmallows in a water bath - keep the marshmallow slices on low heat until they are completely dissolved. Then remove from the water bath.

Add powdered sugar to the mass and knead until it stops sticking to your hands. Also check that the figures from your mastic do not spread and keep their shape. As soon as the mass gets this consistency, wrap it in cling film and leave for a while.
Use a rectangular baking sheet for baking and stuffing - the field will turn out realistic! Prepare chocolate for marking and making gates. To do this, break the tile into slices, put in a tight plastic bag. Heat up the water and drop the bag into it. Hold until the chocolate is completely melted. Take a sheet of paper. Draw on it the gate of the required size. Cover the paper with cling film.

Remove the bag of chocolate from the water, cut off the corner. Outline the outline drawn on paper. Bend the fragment with the “roof” of the gate. Place this entire structure in freezer and leave for at least 15 minutes. Leave some chocolate for marking.

Remove the cake from the oven, remove from the mold. Level the top - cut off the mound with a sharp knife. Set aside the cuts. Finished cake cut in half lengthwise. While the cake is still hot, grease both cakes on the cut side with cream. Set aside some cream. Leave the cakes to soak at room temperature or let cool and refrigerate.

When the cakes are soaked, assemble the cake. Put the part of the biscuit that was on top down (soaked side up). Cover with stuffing (remove the film first). If a jelly layer protrudes beyond the cake, cut off the excess. Cover with the second half of the cake. Its bottom should be on top - a flat, flat surface.

Put the scraps in a blender and chop, combine with the reserved cream and mix. Apply the resulting mass on the top and side surfaces of the cake, smooth it. Soften butter at room temperature. Using a pastry brush, brush the top and sides with a thick layer of oil. Place the cake in the refrigerator and let the butter harden.
The most difficult thing is to sculpt neat figurines of football players for the cake! In the meantime, prepare the mastic. Divide the mass into several parts. A green field will be made from the largest. One part will be white - from it you will make the ball, heads, arms and legs of the players. Divide the rest into as many parts as the colors you will use to decorate the figures. Consider what dyes you will need.

Add the necessary dye to each piece of mastic. To do this, you can lightly press down the ball of mastic, pour the paint into the middle and knead, or you can use a toothpick to apply the color dotted into several fragments of the lump. Then the dye will be distributed more evenly. Prepare the field. Roll out the green mastic with a rolling pin. The mastic layer should be at least 2-3 mm thick and slightly larger than the size of the cake.

In order for the coating to lay flat, it must be thick. Using a rolling pin, transfer the prepared fondant to the cake and place it on top. Align the corners carefully. Do not be afraid to use a rolling pin for this: the mastic is very plastic, so you will not harm the coating. Cut off pieces of the coating protruding beyond the cake with a sharp knife.

Blind figurines of football players and roll the ball. Reheat the rest of the white chocolate if needed. Draw markings on the field: borders, middle line, circle inside. Remove the gate from the freezer. Carefully remove them from the film and place them on the field. Arrange the football players in their places. Put the ball in the circle in the middle of the field. Serve the cake to the table.
