Every mother wants to please her child with a beautiful and delicious cake. One way to decorate it is with mastic figures.

Figurines of mastic – this is a great way and others to please, and to show themselves.

The process of making them involves the following steps:

Preparation of sugar mass for molding.
Direct molding of figurines.
Drying of the decorations and their installation on the cake.

If there are doubts about whether or not you will be able to make the mastic décor yourself, you can always pre-train on plasticine, and when you achieve the desired result, proceed to modeling from mastic.

In the 16th century, mastic was better known as icing, and it was then that it began to be used to create elaborate and ornamental designs. At that time it was just as flexible and elastic, but it crumbled when dry and could not be stored for long.
In finished form mastic can be kept tightly closed in a refrigerator for about 2 months. If you put right after making or working mastic in the freezer, then preserve the product for almost six months.
Mastic in its modern form has a long shelf life and the flexibility to recreate a wide variety of delicacies and shapes to decorate desserts.
