Mastic ship cake. Cake "Pirate": design ideas, cooking tips

For a long time I was looking for what to make masts from. their length should be about 40-45cm just above the cake, i.e. total length not less than 50 cm.
And I found these sticks unexpectedly in a flower shop. These are bamboo sticks that are stuck into the flower pot and used to support the flower. Washed them well. I took sticks 5-6 mm in diameter.
Like these ones

First, I marked how far the stick should be stuck into the cake and into the substrate under the cake. I marked the rest of the mast height under the rails. Then my husband drilled holes for me with a thin drill for the rails. As a rai, I took skewers for barbecue with a diameter of 2 mm.
I inserted skewers into the holes and got these two masts.

In one of the masts I made a hole obliquely for a slanting sail at the stern. I received this mast.

I made patterns for the base of the ship and the upper deck. I marked where the masts should be.

On the substrate under the cake, I noted how the cake will be located and where the masts will be located, I drilled holes for them

I made patterns of sails in the form of trapeziums on paper. I made the lower base of the largest sail a little wider than the deck, gradually reducing all other sails
Here

Then she made patterns of slanting sails in front - the lower one is the shortest, the upper one is the longest.

I made a pattern of the rear oblique sail by eye

Now I cut out the pattern of the sail on the mastic, making an allowance from above.

At the same time, I marked where the pattern line runs.

I laid a wire for flowers along the top line of the pattern so that the ends of the wire extended beyond the sail.

We fold the mastic along the wire so that it remains in the fold of the mastic.

We smooth the junction. I cut the plastic folder-corner into pieces, according to the size of the sails. I laid the sail with a smoothed seam on plastic and put it to dry on a bottle so that the sail turned out to be rounded. And the seam should remain on the concave side of the sail, i.e. he will be turned to the mast

So with all the bulging sails on the masts. Here are the sails I got after drying

now we fasten the sails with the ends of the wires to the yards

this is how the mast turned out

Now we make oblique sails - we insert a wire into the front ones along the long side of the sail. Then it will be attached with one end of the wire to the front mast, and with the other to a skewer inserted into the bow of the ship. We insert wires into the rear sail on two sides. One side of the sail will be attached to the rear mast, and the other to the slanting yard.

I want to add more, how I assembled the ship. I first inserted the sticks (wrapped with foil) into the substrate in place of the masts and put the soaked cakes on them, then smeared them with cream and laid layers. Then, when the cake stood in the refrigerator, I cut out the shape of the ship, and when the cake was almost ready, I pulled out the sticks that replaced the masts and inserted the already assembled masts with sails (also wrapped in foil from below). And then, already on the finished ship, she attached oblique sails. Because the holes on the substrate turned out to be too big for me, then when the cake was raised, the masts fell down. So I'm on the bottom side
sealed the holes with adhesive tape.

Every little boy likes to watch movies about pirates, and after watching they pretend to be the captain of the ship. Loving parents always find a reason to please their child. And here comes the long-awaited children's birthday party. To surprise all the guests and the little birthday boy, you can give a cake in the form of a ship. Also, such a gift is perfect for an adult man whose work is related to the courts.

How to make a cake "Ship"

It seems that making such a cake at home is easy. In fact, it will take a lot of time. But the result of the work done will not leave anyone without surprise and admiration. Such a cake is made from biscuit cakes or from cakes made from puff pastry. The choice depends on the preferences and taste of the hostess. Cakes are baked according to any favorite recipe. If time is short, then you can buy ready-made cakes in the shop. Decorate the cake in the form of a ship with cream or mastic. It can also be bought ready-made in the store. To make the cake tasty, you need to choose your favorite filling. The cream can be instant.

To create the "Ship" cake with your own hands, it is necessary that four cakes be baked. Prepare the dough and cream according to your proven recipe or use the recipe below.

Cooking dough (biscuit)

Ingredients:

  • sugar 400 grams;
  • flour premium 650 grams;
  • sunflower oil 6 tablespoons;
  • sour cream 300 grams;
  • egg 6 pieces;
  • vanillin 1 sachet;
  • baking powder 15 grams.

Cooking:

Mix all the ingredients and beat with a mixer to get a homogeneous dough without lumps.

Impregnation cream

Ingredients:

  • vanillin 15 grams;
  • egg 1 piece;
  • mascarpone cheese 500 grams;
  • sugar 100 grams;
  • sour cream 500 grams.

Cooking:

Place all ingredients in a bowl and beat with a mixer.

Cream for decoration (creamy)

Ingredients:

Cooking:

Whip the cream until stiff peaks are obtained. Then, whisking with a mixer at low speed, gradually add powdered sugar. Ready cream to paint in the desired color.

It is best when the dough for the "Ship" cake is made on a rectangular baking sheet. You need to prepare the dough and put it in the oven (180 degrees). While the cakes are baking, you need to prepare the cream. It can be anything: butter, protein, sour cream, manna-based, caramel, cottage cheese. When the cakes are completely baked, you should take them out of the oven and wait until they cool completely. Next, grease each surface of the cake with cream and stack them on top of each other. Now it takes four hours for the cake to stand in the cold and soak.

Cake "Ship": master class

To make it easier to make the basis of the future cake, you need to take a drawing of the desired vessel, a toy, or open a photo on a computer. With a large knife, we begin to form a cake in the form of a ship. We cut the nose with a triangle, rounding the edges (all trimmings must be put in a bowl). At the back, cut off part of the cake so that the surface is even, and round each side. If it is difficult to shape, just looking at an example, then you need to cut out a template from paper and apply it to the cake, cutting off the necessary parts.

To form the deck, cut off a piece of cake in the center. We form so that the back deck is higher than the front, evenly distributing the remaining parts of the cut cake.

When the desired shapes of the ship are fully formed, it is necessary to align the cake. Grind the remaining scraps, grind with your hands to get a mixture resembling a potato cake. With the resulting mass, we coat exactly the entire cake in the form of a ship. Now you need to apply the cream over the entire surface. And again send for a couple of hours in a cold place so that it soaks, freezes and keeps its shape well.

After two hours, you need to get the cake and cover with ganache. Ganache is melted chocolate in a water bath, diluted with cream in a ratio of 2: 1. It is necessary to apply with a spatula, leveling over the entire surface. To make the cake smooth, you need to heat the spatula in hot water, wipe dry and, applying, to the surface of the cake, smooth. Put in the refrigerator for another hour.

Now it remains to give the ship a finished look. To do this, its surface must be covered with cream or sugar mastic. It depends on what you like to work with more.

Roll out a thin layer of white mastic, make an imitation of wood (with special tools or you can use a toothpick) and cover the entire ship cake. You can not do the relief of the tree right away, so that it is easier to fit it, but make it on an already covered cake. If the ship turned out to be large, then you can, cutting out the pieces you need in length and height, separately stick around the sides first, then the mast. When everything is ready, you need to paint the ship brown. To do this, dilute the brown dye in a small amount of water or vodka, stir. Dipping a sponge in the dye, you need to carefully paint the entire cake.

From the remaining mastic, the necessary elements should be molded:

  • armament;
  • window;
  • pirates;
  • sail;
  • anchor;
  • Lifebuoy;
  • steering wheel;
  • skulls;
  • sides;
  • muzzle and other necessary details.

Sails can be made from plain paper, wafer or sugar paper, or mastic. Attach them to wooden skewers.

How to decorate finished cake"Ship"? You can make a beautiful deck out of cream. To do this, give the mass the desired color. The main thing is to completely evenly cover the ship with cream. Smooth out with a spatula. With a toothpick, you can make an imitation of a wooden surface. From above, the deck is decorated with mastic elements necessary for the design of the ship.

An obligatory attribute of any celebration, any holiday is birthday cake. And what can be said? Children are always waiting for a birthday cake to blow out the candles and feel like the main character of this day. Therefore, it should be special, unusual and memorable. But one of the most important properties of a children's cake is its quality: the quality and conditions of preparation, the quality and freshness of the products from which it is made. Today, there are various options for decorating and preparing a cake, but can we be 100% sure of its quality? Unfortunately no. Therefore, I propose to cook a cake for a children's birthday by yourself. Of course, you will have to tinker, but believe me, it's worth it. Children's eyes shining with joy and admiration will prove it to you.

Today I want to show an example of decorating a cake in the form of a ship using the classic one. To make a cake in the shape of a ship, you will need to bake a base of biscuit dough, make cream, syrup, chocolate icing and decorations from mastic. Stock up on patience and time, I invite you to the kitchen!

Cake in the form of a ship - master class:

Biscuit for cake:

Cake fondant:

1. To make mastic, you will need white marshmallows. Recipe .

AT in my case 1 color: white (sails for the ship). Therefore, dyes are not added.We wrap the resulting mastic in a film and put it in the cold for about 30 minutes. After cooling, the mastic will be completely ready. It will be possible to sculpt anything from it.

Icing for torus:

1. Break the bitter chocolate, put it in a bowl and melt it in a water bath.
2. Add right amount milk and mix well.
3. After adding the butter, mix until smooth.

We collect a children's cake ship with our own hands:

1. Cut out the base of the cake from the biscuit.

2. Cut it lengthwise into 2 parts, soak with syrup

3. Lubricate with cream.

4. Add these two parts again, you get the basis for the ship. Top with cream too.

5. Cut out additional parts of the ship from the biscuit cake.

6. Let's collect all the parts and grease them with cream.

7. Grind the rest of the biscuit cake, mix with part of the cream and form homogeneous mass.

8. From the mass we will fashion the sides of the ship.

9. Pour the whole cake chocolate icing and let it brew in the refrigerator.

10. Cut out sail rectangles from white mastic, you should get 9 of them.

11. Sails for rounding can be put on a rolling pin or bottle to give the desired shape.

12. As a mast, we use large wooden skewers, on which we also string sails. Insert the skewers into the cake.

Also, letters can be fashioned from white mastic and the name of the birthday boy can be “written” on the side of the ship. Having slightly moistened the letters with water, they adhere perfectly and hold well.

Children's cake in the form of a ship is ready!

If you want to be sure of a good outcome for a children's or New Year's holiday, you should make a cake with your own hands. No matter how your cake turns out, it is definitely made with love for your child and guests.

A holiday cake ship prepared by caring mother's hands will not only guarantee its quality, but also bring inexhaustible joy and pride to the child!

Are you planning a children's party or a pirate-themed party? So you can't do without cake! What will he be like? Perhaps you are imagining a "Pirate" cake with sails? Or is it a chest filled with treasures? Or a funny pirate face with an earring and an eye patch? Let's look at a few popular ideas that you can implement on your own. And at the same time, let's talk about those materials with which you can decorate pastries.

Korzhi

Easy to use biscuit. From it you can easily cut out the details of the desired shape and glue them together with a cream. It is perfectly soaked in syrups and goes well with meringue, oil cream, fruits, jelly, chocolate and many other products that can be useful to us in "Pirate" can also be baked on the basis of the Zebra recipe loved by many, because a children's dessert should be beautiful not only outside, but also inside.

Great idea - cakes in rich chocolate aroma and taste will make a worthy party to an unusual design. And adding to the dough coconut flakes will take you to the atmosphere of tropical islands, which all pirates love so much.

But with puff cakes it is hardly worth experimenting. They are too fragile for our purposes. It is unlikely that "Pirate" will succeed on the basis of the meringue recipe. In a word, choose a recipe that produces stable fluffy cakes.

Pirate schooner

Perhaps, this option can be safely given the first position of the top. The cake will be the main dish of your party.

Do not be afraid of its intricate form. It's not hard to assemble it. It's done like this:

Bamboo skewers will come in handy in your work, which will not only act as masts and flagpoles, but also give additional fixation to the elements of the ship. And for decorating the deck, it is best to use butter chocolate cream. Although the well-known mastic is also suitable, which will need to be painted brown. It will also come in handy in order to make figurines on the cake, because our schooner is a warship, not a ghost ship.

How to make a flag? Everything is very simple. For sails and banners, mastic rolled into a layer or plain paper is suitable. On it, by the way, you can write congratulations to the hero of the occasion.

Pirates' Treasures

A great option for those who find the ship too complicated. Still, the laconic shape of the chest is simpler, but such a dessert looks no less expressive. It's really easy to cook. For this we need rectangular cakes. From them we collect the base of the chest, which we generously coat chocolate cream. Using a toothpick, we make many small stripes - so the surface will look like wood. To fill the chest, stock up on sweets in the form of gold coins, dragee beads, and pearl confectionery decor. And who said that all pirates value only gold and precious stones? Maybe someone would like a chest filled with M&M's sweets? Such a cake will look just as great!

It remains to cover with a lid and generously coat it with cream. From mastic, tinted yellow, you can build a castle and upholstery of corners.

Himself

The next "Pirate" cake will appeal to those who do not like mastic. To be honest, it's a breeze to make! We will need either a syringe with a nozzle. And as a basis we will take any favorite recipe, according to which we will prepare a round-shaped cake.

First, apply a white, beige, pink or light chocolate cream on the sides and top. Its surface is simply leveled with a silicone spatula. And then, using a pastry bag, squeeze out a cream of a contrasting color to make a bandana. To draw a face, you can do with a small amount of melted chocolate. From it we will make a bandage for the lost pirate eye.

Jolly Roger

Another spectacular dessert that does not require its creator to have a diploma from a culinary university is the Pirate Flag cake.

In this case, the chef's job is solely to create the Jolly Roger banner itself and localize it on any cake. Do you want to achieve maximum believability? Use black and white putty. For maximum effect, before making the flag, practice drawing a skull on paper, then cut out the details and use them as a pattern.

Do not forget that it is not a registered brand and no one forces you to make it black. You can make it orange, pink, purple. Young pirates will especially enjoy this design. By the way, how can you not remember the sugar turtles painted with flowers! They fit perfectly into the pirate concept.

Treasure Island Map

An excellent option would be a "Pirate" cake in the form of a card. Do not try to repeat the outlines of the earth's continents on it, it is better to come up with something of your own. To make the sea surface, blueberry jelly diluted twice as strong as recommended by the manufacturer in the instructions on the pack is perfect. And the continents and mountains can be laid out with green or yellow cream.

Fantasize and experiment, then the result will surely please you.

Cake "Ship" is an excellent dessert for a children's holiday. It will bring the kids to a real delight! To make something so delicious original delicacy can be different. We will present two recipes: the first one is from biscuit cakes, the second - from honey. You can choose the option you like the most.

To obtain beautiful cake"Ship", for baking the cake, it is necessary to use a not very wide, but deep rectangular shape. It needs to be lubricated vegetable oil, and then fill with biscuit dough about two-thirds of its volume (the dough will rise). It is recommended to bake a soft and fluffy product for 56 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.

After the cake is ready, it should be carefully removed from the dish, put on the board and cool completely.

Making buttercream

A cake in the form of a ship turns out to be especially tasty if you use it to prepare it. For it, you need to purchase high-quality butter and soften it well. Next, the product must be thoroughly beaten with a mixer, gradually adding condensed milk to it. To make the cream brown, add a few tablespoons of cocoa to it.

We form a dessert

To make the "Ship" cake, you need to give the baked biscuit a shape that will fully correspond to its name. To do this, a rectangular cake needs to be divided in half lengthwise, and then cut off two corners, forming a stern. From the pieces it is necessary to make the sides of the ship and so on.

After all the details are cut out, they should be fastened using cream for this. They also need to lubricate the already formed dessert.

Cooking icing

Having prepared the glaze, it should be poured over the entire dessert and placed in the cold. In the future, the "Ship" must be decorated with confectionery sprinkles, as well as install masts (use kebab sticks for them) along with sails (they can be cut out of white paper).

Before presenting an unusual delicacy to festive table, it should be kept in the refrigerator for several hours. Serve guests in the form of a ship, preferably with a cup of tea.

Cake from mastic "Ship"

To do this, beat large eggs with sugar, and then add honey to them and put on water bath. It takes about ¼ hour to brew the ingredients. Next, you need to add a glass of flour to them and keep on the stove for a couple more minutes. Thereafter egg mass should be removed from the fire. By adding the rest of the flour to it, you should get a cool and dark place, which is recommended to be placed in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

After the named time has passed, the base should be divided into 8 pieces, rolled into a layer, lubricated butter, and then cut out the necessary details (stern, sides, etc.). In the future, they must be baked in the oven (for 25 minutes).

Cooking cream

What does the ship cake look like? A photo of this dessert should be kept in front of you if you are preparing it for the first time. Then you will definitely succeed.

The cream for this delicacy is made just as easily and quickly as in the previous recipe. To do this, combine condensed milk and butter, and then beat them well.

  • cocoa powder - 2 tbsp. spoons.

To prepare chocolate mastic, you need to mix all the listed ingredients. As a result of such actions, you should get a fairly thick and elastic mass. It should be rolled into a thin layer, and then cut into the desired parts.

If you need to get a mastic that is not dark, but white, then you do not need to add cocoa. We suggest you make mastic in two colors.

The process of forming a homemade cake

After preparing all the components of our ship, you can safely start forming the dessert. To do this, it is necessary to lay out everything in turn on a flat cake dish. honey cakes, lubricating them with oil cream. Top dessert should also be covered with cream. After that, it must be decorated with chocolate and white mastic. As a result of such actions, you should get a homemade cake that will look very much like a toy ship.

Make masts and sails in the same way as in the previous recipe. You can also decorate the ship with glazed sweets, which will serve as portholes.

Correctly serving an unusual dessert to the table

As you can see, making it in the form of a ship is quite easy. The main thing is to follow the sequence of the recipe. After the chocolate vessel is ready, it is recommended to send it to the cold. In a few hours it will be completely usable.
