Such confectionery products always delight any child; they delight the eye and create a festive mood. The biscuit “model range” of children’s cakes is no less popular. Delicate cakes are soaked in strawberry, raspberry, pineapple or mango juice. They are coated with custard, protein or butter cream, which may contain pieces of fresh, caramelized or glazed fruits or berries.

So, in this article we will find out how to make a cake in the shape of a tractor from pastry mastic.
Soufflé cake: how to “pack” it with mastic
A very unusual recipe was chosen for this cake: Bird's Milk soufflé cake. Of course, a delicate soufflé is not the most suitable material for covering with mastic. But this is not a reason to refuse such yummy food. We use one trick - we pack the soufflé in a frame made of biscuit dough.
We bake a biscuit according to any recipe you know. You can make it chocolate, add nuts, dried fruits or berries. We divide it into 3 cakes.
To prepare the soufflé we will need:
- egg whites – 5 pcs.;
- condensed milk – 150 g;
- sugar – 150 g;
- butter – 400 g;
- gelatin – 35 g;
- citric acid – 0.5 teaspoon;
- vanillin.
- Soak gelatin in cold water.
- Dissolve sugar in 150 ml of water. Boil the resulting syrup for 3-5 minutes. Add citric acid.
- Beat the whites with powdered sugar and vanilla until a dense and stable foam forms. Properly prepared egg whites stay in place even if the container is turned upside down.
- Pour the hot syrup in a thin stream into the protein mixture. Mix well.
- Heat the swollen gelatin in a water bath or in the microwave until it dissolves.
- Beat softened butter with condensed milk until smooth.
- Combine all three ingredients (gelatin, egg whites and condensed milk) together and mix with a mixer.
- Place the sponge cake on the bottom of the springform pan and cover it with a layer of soufflé. Then another cake layer and another layer of soufflé. In conclusion - another biscuit. Place the treat in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
After the soufflé has completely hardened, you need to give the cake the appropriate shape and level its surface with pastry potatoes (this is the same mixture from which the cake familiar to everyone from childhood is prepared). To be sure, you can also coat it with a layer of ganache. And only after this should you start covering with mastic.
Next, we work on the details. We turn on our imagination: we cut out the windshield, make a pipe and other little things. By the way, tractor wheels can be cookies or marshmallows covered with black mastic. Don't forget that the rear ones are almost twice as large as the front ones.
We place the finished cake on a beautiful tray, make congratulatory inscriptions - now you can present the treat to the birthday person.
