  10. At this time, we make elements of the future football field from mastic. First you need to roll out the sweet base using a regular rolling pin on a table sprinkled with starch. Before this, we divide the mastic into pieces equal to the number of colors involved on the culinary canvas. Add the desired dye, intervene and proceed to the formation of the desired shapes.

Work Stages:

  1. To prepare a biscuit, beat eggs with the indicated volume of granulated sugar.
  2. Add cocoa and some vegetable oil. We combine the ingredients.
  3. Pour in the milk.
  4. Pour a mixture of flour, baking powder and baking soda. We mix the dough with a whisk until there is not a single lump left in it.
  5. It remains only to add boiling water to the biscuit base, quickly and thoroughly stirring the resulting mixture.

  20. When the base is formed, grease its sides and top with cream. We move the treats for impregnation in a cold room for at least 60 minutes.
  21. The time has come for decoration. Beat the chilled cream with powder until thickened. Lubricate the cake with a creamy base, leveling it with a knife. With a confectionery bag we mark the mark on the makeshift football field.
  22. Fill the cream with dye green, “plant” grass on the cake.
  23. We place on the cake the figures of the goal and the soccer ball that were created in advance from ice.

Advice! Keep the cake in the refrigerator until serving, so that the creamy decoration remains in place.
