The combination of your favorite treats and the cartoon - Cake "Cars" will be a real surprise at a children's party. There are many variations of its implementation - different creams, with figures, gingerbread cookies and even a colorful print. You can even make a cake with mastic yourself.

Cake "Cars" from mastic

This cooking option will be troublesome, but the most impressive. Particularly successful is the “Cars” cake by McQueen, a bright red cartoon car. Its implementation involves accuracy, because working with mastic is not easy.

Two types of biscuit are used for this cake:

  • sugar - 1 cup;
  • premium flour - 1 cup;
  • eggs - 5 pieces;
  • cocoa powder - 2 tbsp. spoons.

The last point is needed for the second biscuit, many chocolate will like such a partially chocolate cake.

For impregnation, use the following composition:

  • water - 0.1 l;
  • cognac - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
  • peach - 2 pieces;
  • sugar mastic - 0.6 kg;
  • round cookies with a diameter of up to 10 cm - 4 jokes.

It will also have to be combined with cream - one is used to bond the cakes, the other is used to coat the entire cake:

  1. 35% cream, dark chocolate - 0.2 kg - chocolate.
  2. Butter - 0.2 kg, condensed milk - 0.1 kg - cream.

Cooking method:

  1. Beat eggs and sugar with a mixer until a lush consistency is obtained - it should become several times more voluminous than originally. Then gradually pour in the flour, stirring with a wooden or silicone spatula - the mixer copes poorly with this task. The second biscuit is made in the same way, but with the addition of cocoa.
  2. Bake at a temperature of 1800C, use a toothpick to check: when it begins to freely come out of the dough - remove the biscuits from the oven.
  3. To make a children's cake with your own hands, it is convenient to cut a template out of thick cardboard - a certain shape is needed: round the short sides from a rectangular sheet (slightly more on one side) and make blanks for 4 wheels on both long sides.
  4. Then the biscuits need to be cut in half and begin to lay on the workpiece, alternating two compositions. The quality will not be affected if one layer is assembled from several large fragments.
  5. To make the impregnation, boil water with sugar in a ratio of 2: 1, after cooling, add cognac. Then start the process of moistening the cakes: for this you can use the spray gun. It is important to evenly prescribe the cake, because otherwise under the mastic it will turn out in places too dry or wet.
  6. Now is the time to start making creams. For the chocolate composition, add chocolate to the boiling cream, cook until the mass becomes homogeneous both in color and in consistency. Allow to cool.
  7. The machine is assembled as follows: the light cake is laid first and smeared with cream. Then it is sprinkled with peaches, but they can be replaced with slices of grapes, strawberries or pears.
  8. Then comes the turn of the dark cake, it needs to be slightly pushed to the "hood": it should protrude forward. Grease it with chocolate cream and sprinkle with fruit again. Continue this procedure until the cakes are finished.
  9. Now it’s the turn to build the cabin: from the scraps of biscuit and the remnants of the cream to build its likeness in the center of the canvas. You should not be afraid of irregularities: they will be hidden by mastic.
  10. It is not difficult to boil a creamy cream: beat butter at room temperature, beat well, pouring condensed milk in small portions.
  11. Mix the butter cream and the remaining biscuit by grinding in a blender bowl. With this mixture, stick around the car, giving it a sharper outline. The cream should be enough for 2 layers on top of the resulting "car".
  12. The wheels are constructed very simply: it is enough to coat the cookies with the remnants of the cream and, having rolled the mastic, wrap the cookies in it. Use either black food coloring or chocomastics.
  13. Red mastic is useful for making small mugs, which are attached in different ways: with a mixture of vodka and honey, caramel sauce or toothpicks. To enhance the effect, you can apply a pattern of tires with wooden sticks.
  14. The final stage: having rolled out the white mastic, cover it with a car. Tightly aligned, gently cut off the excess. Use orange or red food coloring for painting.

The cake is ready - it remains only to let it stand for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator.

With edible picture

The easiest way to decorate the cake so that the children are delighted. It is enough to purchase a finished picture with the characters of “Wheelbarrows” in a pastry shop and place it on the finished cake. It should be protein, so it’s better to use the previous recipe, but inside, to lubricate the cakes, you can take the oil version as a basis. To prevent the picture from spreading, cover the upper side with a wafer base - they are sold in large diameters, even in grocery stores.

Gingerbread recipe

If it is not possible to bake a biscuit, you can cook a cake in another way. Gingerbread cookies and sour cream combine perfectly and do not require an oven.

  • gingerbread cookies - 0.3 kg;
  • ripe bananas - 2 pieces;
  • 25% sour cream - 0.35 kg;
  • icing sugar - 0.130 kg.

Decorate without mastic with protein cream or with it - so the form will be more outlined. Gingerbread cookies should be solid enough, but not old, otherwise they risk falling apart during cooking.

Stages of preparation:

  1. Cut the gingerbread into halves in length, peel the bananas and cut into slices of medium thickness.
  2. The cream should have a thick consistency, so you need to whip sour cream and powder for 3-4 minutes.
  3. When forming a cake, dip each slice of gingerbread into a cream. It is easy to remove excess protrusions with an oil knife.
  4. Spread bananas between the gingerbread layers, if there are voids left, lay them with the rest of the gingerbread and cream (in a mixed state).

Mastic or cream - any option is suitable for decoration. For complete impregnation, it will take more time, so you need to cook a cake from gingerbread in advance.
