MK Drawing for decorating a cake by Toria or how to transfer an image to a cake.

You can decorate any cake with this pattern.

We will need:
Alcohol 95%, you can take vodka
White mastic (in my case, it is purchased sugar mastic)
sharp knife
Drawing / picture that we want to transfer to the cake (preferably black and white)
rolling pin
Parchment / baking paper
Pencil B6-(non-toxic)
Gel paints + white dry paint
Brushes (one of them should be very thin)
black food marker
further text from "Valeria"
1. We put parchment on the drawing we have chosen
2. Gently circle it with a pencil, trying not to smear the already circled lines.
3. Put it aside for now.
4. Roll out the mastic on a sprinkled with starch or powdered sugar surfaces
(I use starch), 3-4mm thick.
5. Carefully apply the pattern (circled side) to the rolled mastic.
6. Holding the parchment with one hand, with the other we “pass” again along the contours of the drawing with a pencil, so that the pencil is well imprinted on the mastic.
7. Remove the parchment.
8. Using a sharp knife, cut out the picture along the extreme contour. (we don’t throw away the mastic scraps, you can always reuse it later)
9. We let our finished picture dry (ideally, 3-4 hours, but I never have the patience to wait ... she (the picture) lies somewhere on the sidelines ... and winks at me ... they say, color me, hurry, color ...
10. While the picture dries up, we go for the paints we need.
11. We dilute the colors we need with a couple of drops of alcohol (if alcohol is still not at hand, then you can dilute it with water, but it dries longer, and the alcohol evaporates)
12. Color the picture as desired and let it dry a little more
13. With a thin brush, we circle all the lines in the figure (the picture already turns out to be beautiful, but with a black outline it looks much better).
14. We give our picture to dry completely and harden.

Step by step

Cake painting, decorated with mastic, has come into fashion for a long time, while cream painting is just beginning to gain momentum.

This way of decorating cakes gives unlimited scope for imagination, because you can draw anything you want.

Today I will share my way of painting. We draw a gentle lilac on the cream on Italian merengue.

First of all, we need to prepare the cake itself. Bake your favorite cakes, make the most delicious cream and assemble the cake.

The recipe for cake layers can be viewed

Cut the rinds.

Layer the cake with cream. I had cream cheese.

Recipes for various types of cream can be found in the Articles section, under the Cream tag.

For painting on a cake, it is better to use creams containing oil - they are more stable. Although, I painted the cream without oil too, the result was not bad.

This time I had Italian meringue buttercream(syrup + proteins).

From kitchen inventory, we need scales and a kitchen electronic thermometer.

Cream Ingredients:

275 g butter at room temperature;

195 grams of sugar;

73 gr egg whites; Proteins must be measured on a scale. The average weight of one protein is about 30 gr.

39 grams of water.

Cream preparation:

Boil the syrup from sugar and water, bringing it to 121 degrees. To measure the temperature, you will need an electronic kitchen thermometer.

Pour the syrup in a thin stream over the whipped egg whites. When the mixture beats into a dense, shiny meringue and cools to room temperature, gradually add the oil.

Continue whisking until a fluffy cream forms. You will understand that the cream is ready, not only in appearance, but also in sound - it will change.

Smooth the surface well with a spatula.

When the cake is leveled, the cream needs to be slightly frozen. To do this, leave it in the refrigerator for an hour or in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.

Our "canvas" for painting is ready.

While the cream hardens, prepare the paints. I have these Americolor dyes: Deep Pink, Violet, Grass Green, Electric Green and titanium dioxide (white dye) on the tip of the knife.

You will also need a thin brush and vodka (it evaporates quickly) to wet the brush.

Now you can get the cake and start drawing.

Dip the brush in vodka, wring out a little, dip in the dye. It shouldn't be too much.

Now carefully draw the "crosses" with small strokes. These are future lilac flower petals.

Continue to apply "crosses" in groups. These are lilac branches. Freeze the cake periodically.

When there are already enough flowers on the cake, you can draw leaves.

We also draw. Small strokes, only parallel. First one part of the sheet, then the opposite. Then we draw a thin line of a darker shade between the two sides of the sheet.

We continue to draw until we reach the desired amount.

After completing the painting, you can decorate the cake with cream along the bottom or top edge, toppers, gingerbread or meringues, as I did.

The cake is ready!

Bon appetit!

Necessary materials

For drawing you will need:

• simple pencils (hard and soft);
• eraser;
• landscape sheet or whatman paper;
• pencil sharpener.

You also have to decide how you will color the sketch. The easiest option is colored pencils or felt-tip pens. To make the drawing look more professional, it is worth taking paints. For the poster, choose gouache. Watercolor or acrylic paints are suitable for postcards. In addition to them, you will need a glass under water, a brush and a thick sheet of paper that will serve as a palette.

How to draw a cake step by step: pencil sketch

«> The form of baking can be different. Standard options: round, square or rectangular cake. Often virtuoso confectioners create whole works of art from dough and cream, stylized as animals, cartoon characters, real objects. We'll start with a picture of the simple option- round cake

The sketch is done in three steps:

1. First, with a hard pencil, the top is drawn in the form of an elongated oval.
2. From its extreme points, two straight lines are drawn down, corresponding to the height of the cake. They must be parallel to each other.
3. At the final stage, the lines are connected by a semi-oval. The frame is ready.

Now consider how to draw a cake in several tiers. To do this, we will have to slightly improve the previously obtained blank. Draw a larger oval under the base of the cake. This is the top of the lower tier. Next, we do everything according to the above scheme: draw two vertical lines, outlining the sides of the cake, connect them with a rounded arc. You can add as many layers as you like. At the end of the work, the extra pencil lines are erased.

Cake design: icing, cherries, candles

Think of design for confectionery, albeit drawn, is an extremely exciting activity. Cookbooks and websites will come to the rescue large quantity photos. Considering them, you will understand how to draw a cake for a birthday, anniversary, wedding and other holidays.

Don't forget credibility. Depicting drips of icing or fudge on the cakes, make the wavy line asymmetrical. Candles should be parallel to the side edges of the cake. At the top, draw a small oval, and on it - an uneven tongue of flame. The direction of fire for all candles is usually the same. Many small details can be noticed by redrawing decorations from photographs of real confectionery.

How to draw a cake with paints

Before you start coloring, erase the auxiliary lines with an eraser. Outline the outlines with a soft pencil. Now you can take up the brush.

It is important to choose the right paint depending on the effect you want to achieve. Watercolor creates a feeling of airiness, fluidity, soft transitions from one shade to another. With the help of gouache or acrylic, the colors are bright, saturated.

To create new tones, mix colors using a palette. The golden hue of the baked cake can be conveyed by experimenting with yellow and white colors. Don't forget about glare chocolate icing, cherries. To make the paint lighter, dilute it with water. Finished work can be covered with sparkles.

Now you know how to draw a cake. A delicious handmade image will decorate the holiday and delight loved ones. Be sure to involve the children in this activity. The drawing process will certainly captivate them. In addition, you can become closer by doing a common thing.

Let's start creating

So, how to draw a cake with a pencil ... To begin with, in the center of the album sheet, draw the basis of the dessert - an ellipse of the desired size. From both sides of the ellipse, draw a vertical line upwards. Then connect their edges with two arcs. The base of the cake is ready!

Stepping back a couple of centimeters from the base of the ellipse, draw a curved line - this way we will depict the layer. Then on the top of the cake you need to draw decorations, such as fruits. Any that you like - grapes, raspberries, cherries, currants. Let's say the cake is strawberry.

Then draw a few berries on top, you can whole, or you can cut it. Draw the syrup that flows appetizingly onto the sides of the cake. Erase all unnecessary lines with an eraser, and draw the main ones thicker with a pencil. You can “add” raisins or nuts to the cakes. Dessert is ready to decorate!

Another variant

Now let's try to learn how to draw a birthday cake. Of course, it should be more luxurious than the first - after all, this is a delicacy for a birthday! Definitely in two or even three tiers and always with candles! Perhaps it would be better to first see how to draw a cake in stages.

With a pencil, mark an ellipse, two vertical lines and two arcs - the base is exactly the same as for the previous cake. From above, draw another similar figure, only a little smaller, on it - another, the smallest one. These will be three tiers of birthday cake. Now erase unnecessary lines with an elastic band so that the dessert stops “shine through”. On each of the tiers in their upper part, draw a cream with a wavy line in the form of lace. Draw cherries around the bottom of each layer.

Next, draw a cream layer with double arcs - again on each tier. Now grab the candles. Suppose the birthday boy is twelve years old. Then on the lower tier depict six candles located at an equal distance from each other, on the middle - five and on the top - one candle in the very center. “Light” the candles by drawing a tongue of flame coming from a thin wick stick to the top of each of them. At the very bottom, at the base of the first tier, draw a decoration - circles of cream.

Finishing touches

Make the sides slightly curvy so that the cake does not look like a geometric figure drawn under a ruler. Sprinkle each biscuit layer with grated chocolate, making chaotic dots with a pencil. Erase the extra lines with an eraser, move the main ones more strongly, and the festive delicacy is ready!
