How to make an Easter chick from fondant
In order to make a figurine of a chicken hatched from an egg, you will need:
- Mastic. You need a lot of yellow, white, orange, as well as a little pink, purple and black mastic for the eyes and bow.
- A rolling pin and a thin sharp knife for working with the mass.
- Stack with large round tip.
- A toothpick for drawing out texture and working with fine details of the figure.
Sculpting process
The mastic chicken is molded in several stages:
- Cut the workpieces. To make jewelry you need to do:
- a large ball of white mastic - an eggshell will be molded from it, in which the chicken sits;
- two balls of yellow mastic for the body and head of the chicken - they should be smaller in size than the ball for the shell;
- two identical, small ovals for the wings;
- a thin small flagellum from which the chick's crest will be made;
- a small triangle with smoothed edges for a beak made of orange mastic;
- three small balls, two purple and one smaller, pink, for a bow.
- Make a shell.
- Press the middle of the white ball so that you get half an egg. This is conveniently done using a stack with a large round tip.
- Cut the edges of the egg with a knife to create sharp peaks that imitate a broken shell.
- Fashion a chicken.
- Place one yellow ball in the finished shell - it will be the body.
- Attach another yellow ball on top of it - it will be the bird’s head. First, insert a toothpick into the body, and then place the head on it.
- Using a toothpick, press two holes for the eyes on the head and fill them with black mastic.
- Make three dots on the chicken's cheeks.
- Then attach the orange beak blank and use a toothpick to press two small holes - the nostrils.
- Flatten two oval blanks a little, apply three longitudinal stripes to them with a toothpick. Slightly bending them along the axis, attach them to the body of the chicken, resting them on the shell.
- Sculpt the details.
- Cut a thin flagellum into two or three small parts and, connecting them at the base, carefully stick to the head. Thus, the chicken should have a small tuft.
- We make a bow from three small balls of mastic. The middle is a pink ball, along the edges of the bow there are purple blanks. Using a toothpick, draw folds on the bow for greater realism.
The finished chicken figurine is suitable not only for decorating Easter cakes. It can be used to decorate cakes, cupcakes and other baked goods.

Choosing a way to learn cooking
Today there are several methods and ways to learn cooking. Each of them involves the steps described above: preparation and practice. You should choose the one that is closer to your liking and more understandable.
Opening a book about tasty and healthy food
Teaching from books and pamphlets is one of the old, time-tested methods. All previous generations used it. Previously, recipes were passed down from elders to younger ones through the keeping of home cookbooks. Today the method is practiced less frequently.
Studying recipes on the Internet
Finding recipes online is easier because you can immediately set the parameters of your preferred dish. It is permissible to indicate the ingredients and the desired result in quantity. The search engine is extensive.
Other teaching methods
Other forms include:
- attending culinary courses and master classes;
- personal training from experienced specialists.
To choose the optimal path, you should ask yourself which form is closer in spirit and how much professional skills you want to master.
Diet with rice and buckwheat
Rice is remarkable for its content of carbohydrates and useful minerals, vitamin B complex. At the same time, rice should be limited and not given to the chickens too much; if there is an excess, paralysis of the birds is possible.
From the first week of life, chickens can be fed with cereals; rice cereals are given in small doses; this will be enough for the babies to feel full, cheerful and strong. It is better to give rice during the day.
Whether or not to give the chicks buckwheat is up to the owners of the bird to decide. Opinions differ on this matter. According to some conclusions, buckwheat should not be included in the menu of a young chicken brood, since it can cause intoxication in fragile birds and, when swelling, will lead to digestive disorders.
Others believe and prove from their own experience that feeding buckwheat to chicks is beneficial; vegetable protein from cereals is especially valuable. The main thing is not to overdo it. Chickens can eat ground and boiled buckwheat in small portions, which are mixed with the main feed.
