What should be a sweet dessert for a girl? Delicious? Big? Beautiful? The main thing is that the child receives not just a traditional, ordinary cake, but a real confectionery masterpiece that can become a magical and unforgettable decoration for any holiday. It should be different from an “adult” and reflect the child’s hobbies, interests, hobbies and tastes.

What to consider when ordering a cake for a girl

• Age. For girls of preschool age, they usually order cakes with Minions, Smeshariki, Peppa Pig or Masha and the Bear. When young sweet tooths grow up, cartoon themes become popular: Winx, Rapunzel, Monster High, and so on. In the "VIP-Tort" catalog you can find universal sweets for young people, decorated with cute fairies, princesses, bears, bows or fairy-tale characters. Desserts with a photo of the birthday girl are especially popular, as this is an individual and exclusive treat with a photo of your child.

• Ingredients. When choosing, you should pay special attention to the ingredients, since any children's cake should not only be tasty and beautiful, but also safe. For example, when choosing ingredients, you should take into account the child's allergic reactions to certain components. When ordering sweets for girls at VIP-Tort, you don’t have to worry about safety, since the confectioners do not use chemical additives or GMOs. Only natural and fresh products, completely safe.

• Weight. Agree that if you order a huge cake for a little girl, she simply won’t eat it. And if there is a small dessert and there are a lot of guests, then there may not be enough food. Therefore, you should roughly imagine how many servings the sweet treat will be divided into and how many guests there will be. To resolve this issue, you can always consult with the manager of the VIP-Tort confectionery, clarifying the design, weight and final cost.

List of the best options for decorating children's cakes

As my friend’s experience shows, decorating a children’s cake is not at all difficult, you just need to involve your imagination in the process, knowledge of the preferences of your child and his guests, as well as some culinary features of this or that dessert, which I will now tell you about.

It is often difficult to decide how to decorate a children's cake with your own hands at home in such a way as to please the child and feed him a tasty and healthy delicacy. And at the initial stage of choosing a method for how to beautifully decorate a children’s cake, you should focus on the compatibility of the ingredients with the cake layers.

Win-win decoration options will be: chocolate glaze, butter cream and cream - for sponge cakes, fruits and berries - for curd cakes, butter cream and boiled condensed milk - for shortbread and puff cakes, marshmallows and mastic - for honey cakes. However, this is not the only correct option for resolving the issue of decorating a children’s cake, since each person’s taste preferences, as well as the concept of the beauty of a dessert, are different.

Taking into account the fact that the decorated cake is intended for treating children, it is recommended to decorate it with mastic, marshmallows, cream, cream, chocolate, fruits and jelly, since they will look good on the finished cake and are harmless to children's health.

What's the best way to not decorate a cake for children?

Since the cake is intended for children, you should choose the ingredients for decorating it as meticulously as possible - these should only be fresh products.

• artificial colors, they should be replaced with natural freshly squeezed juice from vegetables and fruits;
• creams that are flavored with alcohol - liqueur, rum or cognac; if necessary, they can be replaced with citrus zest or juice or vanilla;
• sugar syrup for soaking cakes, since excess sugar is of no use to a child’s body;
• small candies or inedible solids that could cause a child to choke.

In my opinion, the most beautiful decoration for a cake is mastic, although it is a little more difficult to make compared to other types of decorations. You can use mastic to form any figure – a cartoon character, a doll or a car, or the letters of a child’s name, and the decoration itself will cause genuine delight for the children. Let's look at how to decorate a children's cake with mastic.

To prepare mastic you need the following products:

1. Gelatin is dissolved in water, stirring continuously, and left for about 30 minutes to swell, then add citric acid.

If it is necessary to obtain multi-colored mastic, the ingredients are mixed in several containers separately, into each of which food coloring of the desired color is added.

2. Pour the sifted powdered sugar into a deep bowl, pour in the gelatin mixture, stir with a spoon in the bowl until the consistency is homogeneous, then stir the sweet mass a little until it becomes dense and elastic.

3. Well-mixed mastic should be rolled out into a layer approximately 4-6 mm thick and placed on the surface of the finished cake and on the side. When covering the cake with mastic, you should smooth it out, avoiding the appearance of wrinkles. The excess should be carefully trimmed along the bottom edge of the cake with a sharp knife.

It is very easy to sculpt any figurine of an animal, person or toy from plastic mastic, which is placed on the smooth surface of the cake or along its side.

By wrapping the finished mastic in polyethylene, it can be stored in the freezer for up to 60 days, taken out as needed to create the next confectionery masterpiece.

Let's consider options on how you can beautifully decorate a children's cake without mastic. The wondrous beauty of mastic can be recreated from marshmallow, which is much easier to process.

Required ingredients:

• 200 g chewing marshmallows;
• 500 g powdered sugar;
• 200 g starch;
• 10 g butter;
• 2 tbsp. l. water.

1. Melt chewing marshmallows in the microwave for 30 seconds, add butter and water to the mixture and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to completely dissolve the ingredients.

2. In a deep container you need to mix starch and powdered sugar, then gradually add melted marshmallows to the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly. After combining the dry mixture with melted marshmallows, the resulting mass must be mixed vigorously for 5 minutes and left to rest for about half an hour in a plastic bag.

3. The finished marshmallow is rolled out into a thin layer, which covers the entire surface of the cake, and any fancy decorations can be fashioned from this elastic mass. Examples of how to decorate a children's birthday cake using marshmallows can be found on the Internet.

Working with marshmallows must be done quickly, since the mass dries out very quickly. You can preserve its plasticity for a while by packing it in a plastic bag.

A children's cake can be decorated in an original way using cream. A cake decorated with cream is a classic children's dessert.

Required ingredients:

• 100 g butter;
• 6 tbsp. l. condensed milk

1. The butter, slightly melted at room temperature, needs to be whipped with a mixer until a foamy mass forms.

2. Add condensed milk one spoon at a time to the butter foam, beating the mass with a mixer until a fluffy, homogeneous cream is obtained.

3. To decorate the cake with butter cream, you need a pastry syringe with various attachments; if you don’t have one, you can use a thick plastic bag with a corner cut off. Using a syringe or cone filled with cream, you can “draw” the desired cartoon plot, numbers or letters on the cake, create flowers and three-dimensional figures, and make the child’s wishes come true.

Cream can also be used to decorate the cake.

Required ingredients:

• 200 ml cream with fat content from 35%;
• 50 g powdered sugar.

1. Beat the chilled cream with a mixer until peaks form.

2. Powdered sugar is gradually added to the whipped cream, while the process of whipping with a mixer does not stop until the mixture forms hard peaks as it drips from the whisk.

3. Decorate confectionery products with whipped cream, similar to butter cream, using a special syringe. Children's cakes decorated with cream are not only tasty, but also healthy due to the nutritious cream rich in calcium.

The cake, decorated with buttercream and whipped cream, can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 36 hours.

The most common option for decorating children's desserts is fruit. Fresh, canned or frozen fruits and berries look very beautiful on dessert and children love to eat them. Before decorating a children's cake with fruits, they need to be properly prepared.

Berries can be used whole; large fruits must first be cut, frozen ones must be thawed, and canned fruits must be dried with a paper towel. For the beauty and safety of fruit decoration, it should be covered with a layer of jelly, since without it, fruits and berries quickly dry out and lose their appearance.

Required ingredients for jelly:

• 1 tbsp. l. powdered sugar;
• 2 tsp. gelatin;
• 1 glass of orange juice.

1. Dissolve gelatin in 50 ml of juice; to speed up the process, the mixture can be slightly heated in the microwave.

2. Add the entire volume of juice and powdered sugar into the gelatin mixture, mix thoroughly until completely dissolved and a homogeneous viscous mass is obtained.

3. To decorate the dessert, you need to beautifully arrange the berries and fruits on the surface of the cake, fill them well with jelly and put the cake in the refrigerator for several hours to harden.

Cakes decorated with cream, mastic, whipped cream and fruit will decorate many children's parties, bring joy to children and will look great in photos, reminding of a wonderful celebration of a particular event.

Invitation to discuss cake decoration and possible modifications

Cake decorating is a creative process that can be implemented according to your preferences, adding food coloring of the desired color and aromatic components and modifying the dessert for a better result in the end.

As a basic recommendation, experienced chefs advise applying decorations not to the cake, but to a thick layer of thick cream, marzipan or glaze - this will give a more uniform coating of the surface of the cake and the durability of decorations and figures. It is better to decorate the dessert immediately before serving, since the decorated cake can absorb moisture and foreign odors when stored in the refrigerator for a long time.

It is recommended to whip cream in a very cold glass container with a chilled whisk - this way the whipping process occurs faster and with better quality. A children's cake decorated with sweets - candies, chocolate and sugar figures, bright sprinkles and dried fruits - looks very impressive and is absolutely not difficult to make.

Since you can very simply decorate a children’s cake with your own hands from available products, you should not be afraid of this, since the most difficult thing is to decide and bake a delicious cake, and the creative process of decorating a dessert for kids will use your unique imagination and captivate the whole family.

And only after broadcasting a series of programs about the king-pastry chef Buddy from New Jersey, we learned that a variety of technologies and ingredients are used to decorate cakes and create confectionery products, making it possible to create an exclusive cake for a child’s birthday, the idea of ​​which will emphasize the child’s individuality and will suit holiday format.

No time - better order

The use of marzipan and mastic allowed our masters to create confectionery masterpieces that delight not only the eye, but also the stomach. Modern confectionery shops offer their customers a huge selection of birthday cake options for children, the weight, shape and decoration of which completely depends on the customer’s wishes.

In most cases, making such a cake will take at least 2-3 days and requires advance ordering (usually 2-3 weeks before the celebration).

You should not choose a confectionery shop at random. Don’t be lazy and don’t regret 10-15 minutes spent searching for reviews and recommendations from clients of a particular confectionery shop, and also first familiarize yourself with the recipes for cakes and cream used.

Remember, the picture in the catalog of a confectionery shop can be very different from reality. A good option would be a catalog of color photographs that have not undergone typographical or design processing.

Most websites of confectionery shops or private artisans contain real photographs and reviews, which will greatly facilitate your search.

Do it yourself

“I don’t know what’s in that cake that’s made to order,” “I like to bake cakes myself,” “My family doesn’t eat store-bought cakes” - these and many other phrases can be heard when the conversation turns to store-bought confectionery.

If you belong to this category of people, you may find the information below interesting.

Modern needlewomen not only know how to bake delicious cakes, but also decorate them no worse than professionals. In most cases, very complex and labor-intensive cakes at first glance are not prepared at home, which is wrong; from the outside, any beautifully decorated cake seems like a work of art.

A cake for a child's birthday is an idea that can be nurtured for months, or even years, and, in the end, the mother awakens the desire to make a gift with her own hands.

The first rule to remember when preparing a cake is the correct dough for the cakes. Using recipes for shortcrust pastry and shortbread when preparing a cake for children under 3 years of age is not advisable, since such dough is quite brittle and hard and can cause one of the children to choke or choke. You should also be careful when preparing your favorite honey cake, as one of your guests may be allergic to honey. It is unacceptable to use alcoholic beverages when preparing cakes and especially cream.

Using sponge dough makes it possible to experiment with the color of the cake layers and the shape of the future cake.

Particular attention should be paid to the cream. Recently, yogurt cream has become popular, which children love very much. The advantage of this cream is its low fat content and ease of preparation. Heavy butter creams and whipped cream can negatively affect our children’s digestive system and ruin the holiday.

Simple baby cake decorating ideas

There are a huge number of different technologies for decorating a birthday cake - it can be custard protein cream, butter cream, icing, mastic or marzipan, the recipe for which can be found on the Internet or bought ready-made ingredients in specialized stores. If this is your first time deciding to use new decorating technologies, practice for a few days to get the hang of it.
