Pirate ship cake

I started my work by drying for a long time - SAILS. It is better to have a week in stock so as not to worry that something will not dry out. It took me 4 types of mastic for a cake, this is my intuitive opinion, and there who is used to it) I took mastic from marshmallow with butter on sails, it retains plasticity, does not dry out on a stone and will not disappear with sharp movements. First, we cut out the supposed sails from the paper.

then we prepare tools - pliers (they were bought only for working with cakes), a ruler, a knife, and consumables - I have sticks made of sushi, stainless steel wire.

stainless steel wire should not be thin, so that it holds its shape well and is not galvanized, compatible with food products.

remembered that I forgot to photograph when the sails were already ready. It is necessary to cut the wire along the upper and lower width of each sail, but necessarily with a margin for a loop. Wrap the skewer with wire and cross it. It turns out a loop. The loop is made freely walking on the skewer. This is necessary in order to freely dress a ready-made mastic sail on a skewer. In the photo, the loop, since the wire is over, its width must correspond to the width of the edge of the sail.

we apply and cut out the niche of the sail from the mastic, we also take with a margin from above and from below to turn around the wire. We make a hole for the loop at the bottom of the sail. We fix the edges around on the wire, moisten with water to keep it.

we put our sails on a skewer, clamp the loops with pliers, fix our sails and put something under the edges, give them a shape and leave them to dry. I made sails from this site, everything is written in great detail here, only slightly changed the shape. https:

we cut a pattern out of paper on our ship. I made a honey-napoleon cake, I have a recipe in my cookbook. When cutting and moving, the dough sits down very much, it is better to take it with a margin. Do not try very hard, you still need to level it and the remnants will also leave)

smear our cake with sour cream and put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak, so that it is convenient to cut.

applying our pattern and circling along the very edge, making a form.

coat it with our mastic cream (mixed oil melted at room temperature with condensed milk)

we cut out the middle

and we put our median on the back of the ship, level

homemade places with mastic cream, although it was possible to cut out immediately, then coat everything)) Put in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes

we take it out of the refrigerator again.

and so on all sides. I cut a little below, for a more realistic shape. She put all the trimmings on the bow of the ship.

we roll out our shocomastics, I also have a recipe in the book. Only in the recipe I gave more caster sugar, it is harder to work with it, but it sits well, like real apostles. To be not so firm, she took it in small portions and put it in the microwave for a few seconds. I decided to take the shape of the apostles from a small line, just cut it out.

walked with a knife to give the appearance of a tree.

we stock up on patience and forward))

and so on all sides

folding our apostles so that they are as realistic as possible. We pass along the top with an iron, align the surface.

I decided to decorate the middle and rear of the ship with a drawing in this way.

original turned out))

this is how he will laugh on the finished ship.

we also make a chest in advance. I had it from mastic from baby food, it is very tasty and freezes well. The chest was deepened, M & amp; M & # 039; s, candied fruits, confectionery beads were poured there and made coins from mastic and gilded with candurin. Here is the link on which I did https:

I had the steering wheel and anchor out of mold, the lifeline is simple.

windows were cut out, painted them with kandurin, guns according to a similar scenario, a black barrel of a gun from a purchased mastic, only it glued to dry kandurin. I also made columns.

painted skulls on sails and painted the edges with candurine for the old-fashioned effect. The black flag was made of purchased mastic and lost, when a drawing was applied to it, one of me simply fell off (

on the front made a floor of narrow marshes on the same principle.

well, what a pirate ship without a gun, she was sculpted without a master class, just in the picture she found. I have hazelnuts in chocolate, glued together with mastic.

and of course, as you call the ship, so it will sail! Letters from mold, so easier and faster)) So that our ship shines, we breed honey and vodka in equal proportions and cover it with a brush. Vodichka or our sea)) was made from protein cream, for the first time do not scold, it did not work with a pastry bag before.
