I will not describe the base of the cake, since the internal filling can be absolutely anything. This time I had a sponge cake coated with butter-based cocoa cream.

To decorate the cake, I prepared sugar mastic in advance. It seems to me that the most convenient mastic to use is one made from chewing marshmallows.

To prepare it, chewing marshmallows need to be melted in a water bath or in the microwave, adding a small amount of butter to it.

Divide the melted marshmallows into two parts. We will leave most of it white, and paint the second part blue.

Next, knead the mastic, just add powdered sugar to it until the mass stops sticking to your hands.

Place the finished mastic in the refrigerator overnight, wrapped in cling film.

Let's start decorating the cake by covering it with white fondant. Roll it out using a regular rolling pin.After a night in the refrigerator, the mastic rolls out quite hard, but it does not stick or tear.

To decorate the sides of the cake, I bought edible lace, which is very easily glued to the mastic with sweet syrup.

Roll out the blue mastic and cut out a rectangle - this will be the kryzhma. Using a regular toothpick, we form a fabric structure on it. Of course, all this is much easier to do with the help of special stamps, and it turns out more beautiful and more similar, but as they say, what is not there is not.

Also, in the design of the christening cake, I used a cross, which I cut out using a stencil, which I actually made myself, simply by drawing a cross on paper, and it’s even easier to do this by printing a cross template on a printer.

I decorated the cross using silver sugar drops.

Using the same dragees, I laid out a silver cross and a chain.

I made the inscription on the cake on fondant cut out in the form of a sheet of paper. I made the inscription using a toothpick, which I dipped in dye diluted in sugar syrup.

Flowers for decoration are made quite simply, the petals are formed using a toothpick, and we connect them into a flower (like a daisy).
