    The finished mastic should have the consistency of a dense dough.

18. STEP 18

    

    We will use green fondant to make ribbons and a bow for gift wrapping. To do this, roll out the mastic into an oblong pancake and cut out a rectangle.

19. STEP 19

    

    Next, we roll up rollers from napkins and wrap them with mastic on both sides of the pancake towards the middle. In the middle we crumple the resulting 'binoculars' into a bow.

    Cut out a small green ribbon and wrap it around the middle of the bow. The bow is ready, let it dry.

    And long and narrow ribbons with which we will wrap the gift.

23. STEP 23

    

    Roll out most of the mastic into a large pancake.

24. STEP 24

    

    We wrap the cake in this gift 'wrapping'. Trim off the excess at the base of the cake.

25. STEP 25

    

    Wrap it with ribbons.

Inna, what a great cake-gift! Two in one, as they say - both a gift and holiday food, try to say that you didn’t give anything... Otherwise you bake a cake and run to the store for a gift - it’s just waste! A very budget solution and a cake and a gift rolled into one! Thank you very much for the recipe!<br />
