DIY cake for children: cooking features
The composition, assembled from juice bags and biscuit cookies in individual packaging is an ideal and fairly simple option for treating kids in kindergarten. Of course, the original homemade dessert or the classic multi-tiered cake from the store looks no less elegant, but serving such goodies is much more difficult. Confectionery will have to be cut, laid out on plates, and then wash the dishes. In addition, not all children like traditional cakes. Barney cookies combined with fruit juice are a win-win option. Plates and spoons are not needed, it is enough to disassemble the multi-tiered design, distributing drinks and biscuits in the package to all participants of the holiday.
An important condition is that during the assembly process you don’t have to touch open products. Cookies can be supplemented with other sweets: chupa-chupsami, chocolate eggs, thin chocolate wrappers, sweets. Curly candles and small toys will become an interesting decoration. Juice is chosen to taste, it is worth considering that children prefer clarified, not too acidic juices. The best option is apple, apple and pear, grape, banana, as well as packaged berry fruit drinks. When choosing, you need to take into account the color of the package, so that the composition looks beautiful in photos and videos.
How to make a cake from cookies and juice: a phased master class
It is not difficult to make a three-tier cake, its base is made of ordinary cardboard. Ready boxes of the right size will do. The beauty of the product depends on the chosen decor. To make the torus look elegant and keep its shape, you need to collect it step by step, without rushing and carefully fixing each layer.
Before you begin, you need to calculate the number of components. Each child has a separate package of juice and cookies, if an additional sweet decor is provided, it should also be enough for everyone. Depending on the number of children you need to purchase:
- packaged fruit juice with straws;
- Barney cookies
- corrugated cardboard (can be replaced with ready-made boxes);
- Double-sided tape;
- thin rubber bands;
- satin ribbon;
- multi-colored corrugated paper;
- clear cellophane;
- quick-drying glue;
- big bow;
- soft toy for decoration.
From a corrugated cardboard cut a round base with a diameter of about 50 cm. From the remaining sheets, roll round boxes without covers. The diameter is approximately 35 and 30 cm. Too small blanks will not work, it will be difficult to attach sweets to them.
Install the boxes on the base so that they form a low tower. Strengthen the structure with tape, it must be stable. Paste the base with corrugated paper of the desired shade. Tiers can be made multi-colored, harmonizing in tone.
Place the juice boxes on the lower tier as densely as possible to each other. Before installation, check for straws. Fix the boxes with thin rubber bands, so it will be easier to remove them from the package.
On the second tier, fix the cookie in a wrapper so that it forms a wide ring without gaps. Products are also attached with elastic bands. A decorative satin ribbon will help to hide them. First, the lower and then the upper tier of the cake are tightly wrapped around it, securing with a couple of drops of glue. The ends are tied in a magnificent bow. You can do it easier by cutting off the free ends and gluing a finished bow to the place where the rent is connected.
Decorate the top of the cake with a soft toy. If the composition is intended for a girl, you can use a doll, it will serve not only as a decor, but also as an additional gift for the hero of the occasion. A small strip of tape will help fix the toy. Carefully wrap the finished product in cellophane, collect the ends at the top, bandage with a ribbon and decorate with a large bow.
