Rooster made from mastic for cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare mastic of different colors, two base skewers and a foam stand. Stick the skewers crosswise into the foam. Both skewers will have legs and a torso, and at the top one will hold the head, and the other will hold the tail. Roughly imagine what it should look like and at what angle it should be positioned.

2. STEP 2

   

   Make legs from light orange mastic and make through holes for skewers in them.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the feet on the skewers and place everything on the foam. Trim the skewers to the desired height.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make a rooster body out of green fondant and place it on both skewers. Smooth out uneven areas and joints with tabs. Let it harden for about an hour to strengthen the structure.

5. STEP 5

   

   Form the rooster's neck out of red fondant, set it in place, smooth it out and use scissors to create the texture of the feathers. There are also special stacks for feathers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Make a light orange head, mark the place where the beak and earrings are attached, and mark the eye sockets.

7. STEP 7

   

   Make a yellow beak with a red tongue. This moment is very well described in the video.

8. STEP 8

   

   Make the eyes - first a white layer, then blue irises, a black pupil and two white highlights. Under the eyes, make something like eyelids, this will give the cockerel good nature.

9. STEP 9

   

   Make a red comb and earrings. It turns out nice.

10. STEP 10

    

    Make a yellow wing.

11. STEP 11

    

    Form a tail from thin strips of mastic - high and multi-colored.

12. STEP 12

    

    Let it dry a little.

13. STEP 13

    

    If desired, tint the mastic rooster or its individual parts. Gold and silver paint looks very good on such figures for accents and festivity.
