How to make a magnificent rose from mastic. Roses from mastic

It is not necessary to attend expensive confectionery courses in order to delight your household and friends with chic cakes decorated with mastic flowers. I'm just sure that every person who has a burning desire to learn this will surely sooner or later be able to make flowers no worse than you will see in this master class.

How did I learn this? According to information from the Internet. I reached something on my own, something came with experience, and some things turned out the first time. In any case, you should never despair, because in any business you need to "fill your hand." Learn, develop and see for yourself how in a short time your loved ones and guests will gasp at the sight of not just a delicious cake, but a whole art on it.

So, to make a bouquet of roses from mastic, we need:

• silicone mat
• mastic of the desired color (in our case, pink and green)
• floral tape
• floral wire
• a set of tools (confectionery) for creating flowers
• confectionery cutting and mat
• rolling pin
• powdered sugar

It is quite possible to do without a silicone mat, mat, cutting and tool, below I will describe how they can be replaced. But if you are aware that you want to do this for more than one week and have the funds to buy them, of course, it is better to do this. It is much more convenient and pleasant to work with them.

Well, let's start sculpting roses and leaves, shall we?

Sprinkle the silicone mat with powdered sugar and roll out the mastic with a rolling pin until its thickness is uniform about 1.5-2 mm. You can do without a rug if you have a flat table surface that will not leave “prints” of bumps on the mastic.

We take a round cutting and with the help of strong pressure we cut out circles. The stronger and smoother you do it (so that the cutting does not “crawl”), the better. Then the edges of the blanks will be beautiful, and they will not have to be aligned. Professional cutting can be replaced with a regular stack with thin edges.

We make 9 such circles.

We remove the rest of the mastic immediately in a plastic bag so that it does not “wind out” and does not dry. It is better to put a bag on the blanks so that they also do not dry out ahead of time.

For each workpiece, it is necessary to align the edges, remove unnecessary irregularities. I do it with my fingers.

After all the circles are ready for further processing, you need to prepare a few ordinary tablespoons. Let yourself lie until the finest hour, you will soon understand why they are needed.

We put the blank on the mat (this is our future rose leaf) and roll it along the edges of the petal with a special round ball, it is necessary to make them as thin and natural as possible. It is necessary to make the edges thin only on 2/3 of the workpiece. Determine for yourself where the bottom part of the petal will be (the one that adjoins the stem), and leave it thick.

At the very end of the process, we draw a ball with a slight pressure from the very top of the petal to its bottom, after that you should have such a rose leaf in front of you:

Do this with all nine blanks.

As I already wrote, pastry tools and a mat are optional, the mat can be replaced with an ordinary dry sponge for washing dishes. And the instrument, for example, a stick from a children's xylophone. You can take a large bead from old jewelry and "wield" it. It all depends on your resourcefulness.

Now comes the turn of cutlery. The petal must be carefully placed on a dry spoon, slightly bending the edges of the top over its edges. That is, we need to give the petal the most natural shape.

You do the same with four more blanks. The result is 5 petals with edges looking "out".

Leave the other three blanks as they are. Their edges, on the contrary, are bent inward. And leave one petal flat.

Every housewife has a microwave or air grill grill, toothpicks (or something similar) in the house, prepare them. You will also need a container with water and a brush. I did not have a toothpick, I took a bamboo stick.

Wet the edge of the toothpick in water, with a small piece of mastic “fit” it to the middle.

This will be the very "heart" of the bud. We make the top pointed:

We take an even petal (we have only one), with a wet brush we grease it along the edges with a “tick” - on both sides of its “bottom”.

Water acts like glue on the mastic. We glue the first petal to the toothpick, wrapping it around our core.

Here's what should happen:

Now we take the petals (the ones that look "inside") and glue them in the same way, fixing each edge.

We have only 3 of these petals. The result should be something like this:

If you feel that the base of the rose has “floated”, has become too sticky and is no longer comfortable to work with, just sprinkle it with powdered sugar. She, too, is a kind of "glue" and if you overdid it with water, everything will be fixed.

If you need an unblown rose in the form of a small bud, then the process of creating a flower is over. Congratulations!

We attach to the button.

We glue the next blank, retreating half from the previous petal. That is, they must go "overlapping".

If the edges do not attach well, it's okay - just grease with a wet brush again those places that need to be fixed.

As a rule, five petals (like ours) are enough to complete the outer circle of the flower. The base of the bud again needs to be powdered with powder for fixation.

That's all - our beautiful rose is ready!

If you want to make a more lush version of the rose - just increase the number of petals and their size.

We need a lattice in order to fix the flower for final drying.
We insert the button in a convenient place.

And we are waiting for it to dry.

Drying time will be different for different mastic. One day is usually enough.

Are you ready to start sculpting a sprig of leaves?

Then prepare in front of you a floral tape and wire, scissors, green mastic, a rug and cutting out the shape of a leaf.

We cut the wire into 3 parts: 2 small pieces and 1 long. Roll out the green mastic on the mat.

Cut out 3 blanks.

It is also quite possible to do without cutting down, simply by cutting out an oval shape with pointed edges with a knife.

The edges of the blanks, as in the case of a rose, are put in order.

With the help of a mat and a ball, we make the edges of the leaves graceful. The main thing here is not to overdo it, leaving the middle of the workpiece intact.

Lubricate the middle of the leaf with water.

Slightly "drown" the wire in it.

On the reverse side of the workpiece, we press the edges of the middle to the wire so that it is not visible at all.

We push the grooves on the leaf with a pastry knife, giving it a “live” look. Again, you can take a regular knife (blunt side) or a toothpick.

We cut the edges of the sheet with ordinary nail scissors, and cut out the “notches” that are characteristic of a rose.

For clarity, you can open a picture of a rose leaf in front of you, it helps a lot. You need to cut it out before the mastic dries, otherwise nothing will work, the mastic will “crumble”.

Here is what should be the result:

For drying, I use a regular dish sponge.

The wire is easily attached to it and nothing threatens our workpieces.

Let's get acquainted with the floral tape: it is very "viscous", thin and with a sticky layer. It is a pleasure to work.

After the leaves have dried a little (after 20-50 minutes), it's time to make a real twig out of them! To do this, wrap the stem of each leaf with tape.

We fasten to the main stem (this is the one that is the longest of all), first one secondary leaf.

Then, a little lower, the second.

You need to fasten the stems by twisting the wire together.

And, finally, we hide the main attachment point again under the tape.

Here it is, a branch, ready!

In my case, the color of the tape does not match the color of the mastic. It would be ideal to have a greener ribbon color.

Our little visual bouquet is ready!

Now imagine that there will be not one such rose, but five or seven, and two or three branches.

Here it is - a bouquet that will serve as a chic decoration for any cake.

Roses are attached to the cake with a toothpick. This is very convenient, since the flowers can even be attached to the side surface of the cake. The twigs are attached in exactly the same "piercing" method. First you need to attach the branches, and only then, on top - roses.

In order for the flowers to shine, as in the final photo, it is necessary (after they are completely dry) to smear them with a brush with such a solution: vodka + honey in a ratio of 1: 1. Vodka will quickly disappear, and only the smell of honey will remain. It is completely unobtrusive and is felt only at a very close distance. Honey should be taken liquid, not candied.

That's all! I hope that many housewives will be inspired by the master class and begin to master the art of confectionery!

Roses and mastic leaves from Lyubov Pasechnaya

I divided them in this way. And if you write it differently, then it will be so. We take pink mastic and divide it in half (this is in the first plate at the bottom left, already divided mastic), add the same amount of white mastic to the second part of the pink mastic and also divide this portion in half (this is in the upper plate, already divided mastic), then to to the remaining mastic, add the same amount of more white mastic (this is in the third plate at the bottom right). So it turns out such a ratio for sculpting roses.

Let's start making a rose from its base.
This is what the mastic looks like after the microwave, although while I was taking the camera, it had already settled itself.

Add and mix the icing sugar, then knead it with your hands until a homogeneous elastic mass.

Roll out the mastic in a thin layer.

Cut out five large circles. (I don't have special molds for notching, so I used plastic caps of different sizes. One is smaller, the other is larger.).

Then the edges of each mug were crushed with a thermometer (the thermometer was treated with peroxide and medical alcohol.) to create waviness. I don't have a confectionery ball, and I use what I have.

We take a petal and put it on a sponge, press down with our thumb so ...

Turn the petal over, this is how it looks.

And again we press it down only approximately in the middle of the petal ...

We need five teaspoons. We take one spoon and put one petal on it so as to bend the edges and get like a triangle.

We do the same with the rest of the petals.

We make a foil ring and begin to lay our rose petals, lubricating the edge for connection with water, using a brush.

Then we lay the second petal, and also wet it with water.

We collect such a rose for the base.

Now we are starting to sculpt a rose from the middle, although I added two more pieces, I had extra ones and I divided them.

We again prepare the mastic according to Nastenka's recipe and roll it out in a thin layer.
Cut out five circles with a small cap.

Again, roll out the edges of the petal.

We put it on the sponge and press it only first with the index finger.

Turn over and press the very base with your thumb so that the petal arches.

This is what your petal should look like.

Girls, you asked MK for the assembly of ROSES. I did, but do not scold me strictly. Try as hard as you could. Do not pay attention to the cracks on the petals, the mastic was old, cooked long ago and therefore not so elastic.
So:
I made such a mastic bud in advance (you need to dry at least a few hours). We need it solid.

I folded all the blanks under a large mug so that they would not dry out.

On a board for modeling flowers, I rolled out each petal with a rolling pin to make it bigger and thinner:

I cut the flower into 5 petals:

And I roll out the edges with a stick with a ball so that they are thin and wavy:

We begin to collect a rose. We take a petal and smear it with water on all sides and glue it to the bud so that the petal is higher than the bud and wind it on it like this:

We take the 2nd petal and paste it opposite the 1st and also the 3rd.

Next, we begin to "open" the rose. We spread the petal mainly on the left side and at the base of the petal and glue it to the bud so that only the left edge of the petal is glued, and the right one only at the base:

We glue the next two petals in the same way, laying the petal so that its middle is along the edge of the previous petal:

We collect the following petals according to the same principle.

We take a toothpick and curl the edges of each petal on both sides:

We turn over our curled flower and spread each petal in the same way, mainly on the left side and at the base of the petal:

We put it on a wire with a bud and glue the left side of each petal and the base of the petal according to the same principle as the individual petals of the previous rows (the middle of the petal should be on the edge of the previous one). The right side of the petal remains practically unglued. With your fingers, slightly bend the right side of each petal outward:

With your hands, adjust the bend of each petal. Glue the next row of petals in the same way. Overlapping in a spiral. See the number of petals so that the rose is symmetrical on all sides. You may have to remove some non-glued petal, or vice versa, make another one.
Let our rose dry and start toning. We take dry paint, and a hard brush with a short pile. I have a brush from a hairdressing store for applying gel when building nails. There, by the way, you can buy a lot of necessary things. From there I have a thin brush for and scissors with sharp ends to cut the droplets of mastic in the manufacture of small flowers.
And so, with a brush we take quite a bit of dry paint and apply it to the very edges of the petals in the direction from the edge to the center. Apply to each petal.

Here is our rose before steaming.
Over a boiled and turned off kettle, well, or over a saucepan with boiled water, we turn our rose very quickly from all sides, literally for a second. Be careful not to get water droplets on the flower. Otherwise, there will be terrible stains from the paint.

The rose is rightly called the queen among flowers. She captivates with her unusual beauty and grace. It is not surprising that most professional confectioners prefer it when decorating a birthday cake.

Everyone can make roses from sugar mastic. To do this, it is not at all necessary to complete expensive culinary courses or be able to skillfully sculpt, it is enough to have a great desire, imagination and basic knowledge of creating three-dimensional figures and compositions.

In this article, you will learn how to make a mastic rose at home from improvised and quite affordable products and materials with your own hands.

Master class on making roses for beginners

Especially for those who are just starting to master the technique of sculpting flowers and figures from mastic, consider this rather easy-to-follow step-by-step master class.

For the process of sculpting a rose, you will need:

• finished mastic;
• rolling pin (preferably plastic or wooden) for rolling sugar mass;
• rounded shape for squeezing blanks or a small glass;
• stacks and plastic knife.

Steps for making roses from mastic:

1. Initially, it is necessary to carefully roll out the dough prepared in advance for modeling with a rolling pin.
2. After completing the first stage of work, we proceed to the manufacture of blank petals for a future rose. To do this, we take a round shape of the size you need and begin to squeeze out circles from a thin layer of mastic.
3. We lay out 5-6 circles in one line, slightly stepping each blank on top of each other.
4. Using a stack, make small indentations in the center of the dough and at the same time attach the circles to each other. It turns out something like a spikelet.
5. Carefully twist the finished strip into a tube.
6. Finally, cut off the extra tail and straighten the petals of our flower.

The entire stage of the step-by-step production of roses from mastic is also shown in the photo:

So, you can easily and simply make beautiful roses from mastic with your own hands and then decorate a birthday cake or pastry with them. If you mold a lot of such flowers, you can lay out a whole flower arrangement from them.

Lush rose from individual petals

This MK is intended for those who have been sculpting flowers from mastic for quite a long time and have already got their hands on this difficult task. It will be a little more difficult for a beginner to master the method presented below, but, as you know, nothing is impossible. With a great desire and desire, making a rose in this technique will be possible even for a beginner amateur pastry chef.

To make a lush rosebud from individual petals, you will need the following ingredients and materials:

• pre-prepared mastic for the cake;
• a round form for cookies or a regular glass, or a glass;
• a rolling pin (plastic or wooden) for rolling out the mass for modeling;
• stacks to form petals.

Successive stages of sculpting a lush rose:

1. We begin work on making a flower by rolling out a sweet mass on a table or a special plastic mat for working with mastic.
2. Carefully, using a mold or a glass, we squeeze out round blanks-petals.
3. We give each petal an original and natural look with the help of stacks.
4. We begin to form a bud. To do this, we take a small amount of mastic and make a small center out of it, resembling an elongated cone or an ordinary drop in shape. After that, we carefully wrap our workpiece with the first petal.
5. We attach the subsequent petals to each other, gradually wrapping the core and forming a lush bud. As the size of the flower increases, the petals should be slightly twisted to give the bud a more natural and expressive shape.

A lush rose for decorating the cake is ready!

A bud made in this way is quite large, so be sure to take this fact into account when choosing the required number of flowers to create a composition that will decorate your cake.

Bicolor mastic roses

Making two-tone flowers using sweet mass for modeling is not an easy task. This option is not suitable for everyone, but it’s still worth trying to fashion it. In addition, this method of decoration, unlike the use of plain buds, will favorably highlight your cake or pastry and make it brighter and more appetizing.

The celebration will break out very soon, and you want to surprise your guests with something? Wouldn't it be better if this "something" was made by hand? Then you've come to the right place! In this master class, you will learn how to decorate a cake with beautiful mastic roses, made not in expensive pastry shops to order, but by the hostess herself! It is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, and you will see it clearly!

• Smooth work surface.
• Preferably a silicone mat (but you can do without it).
• Confectionery mat.
• It can also be replaced with an ordinary thick sponge for dishes.
• Water container.
• Tassel.
• Powdered sugar.

Some people use potato starch instead of powdered powder, or both together in a 1:1 ratio, but I don't like the latter options. After products from such mastic stand for some time, they become tasteless.

• Rolling pin.
• Toothpicks.
• Mastic.

You can buy it (the master class uses Italian, Modelplast), or you can make it yourself from marshmallow soufflé. Confectionery tool (with a large ball at the end). It can also be replaced, for example, with a stick from a children's xylophone.

So let's get started?
1. Lay out the rug, sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

2. For rose petals, you can take mastic of the same color, or you can make it a little more interesting, make the middle white, and the edges pink. To do this, roll a “sausage” between your palms from white mastic.

3. Roll out pink mastic with a rolling pin.

4. Put the white flagellum of mastic on the pink pancake.

6. Here is what you should get.

7. Roll the resulting tourniquet on the mat with your fingers with a little effort.

8. Cut with a knife into several pieces (12-15 pieces) about 5 mm wide. If you want to make a small rose, then this bundle diameter is enough, but for a large flower, the “sausage” must be made thicker.

9. With your fingers, knead each piece of mastic, giving it the shape of petals.

10. And now each petal must be made thin and elegant, bringing it as close as possible to its natural appearance. To do this, put the petal on the mat and roll out its edges with a confectionery ball and a little pressure.

Don't overdo it. If the mastic is made too thin, it will tear easily and become impossible to work with.

11. These are the petals of the future rose you should get.

12. The turn of toothpicks has come. You probably puzzled over the fact - what are they for? But in fact, everything is very simple: it is convenient to twist the edges of the petals with them, giving them naturalness.

13. Half of the blanks twist the edges inward - these will be our future petals that have not yet blossomed. Leave one blank untouched, and twist the rest with the edges outward - these are the future "outer" petals.

14. Take in your hand the very workpiece that has remained untouched. Moisten the brush with water and anoint the edges of the petal at the base with the letter V. Water for mastic is a real glue!

15. Twist the workpiece into a tube. This will be the "heart" of our bud.

16. If during work you feel that you wet the mastic too much and it “floated”, became soft and naughty - just sprinkle this place with powdered sugar and everything will return to normal.

17. In the next step, we will work only with the petals, the edges of which are bent inward. We also wet the edges with the letter V.

18. Glue our first petal to the core.

19. Glue the second petal, halfway back from the first, so that they overlap.

20. In the same way we treat the rest of the "internal" blanks. Approximately such a flower at this stage you should succeed.

21. The turn of the outer petals has come. We also wet each with water.

22. Glue to the bud.

23. After all the blanks are in place, the flower immediately takes on a “lush” look.

28. This position must be given to the rose while the mastic dries. So all the petals will harden in the desired shape within 24 hours. After that, you can safely pull out the horizontal toothpick.

This is such a wonderful rose, I'm sure you will succeed too! If something goes wrong the first time, don't worry and try again! After all, everything comes with experience. And after a very short time, you will be able to please friends and loved ones with a chic dessert and proudly say: “Yes, I made this cake myself!”.
