Perhaps for some, September 1 is just a day signifying the beginning of autumn. But for teachers, students and their parents, this is a special day when the school year begins. It will be especially solemn for first-graders: the first school line in life, the first bell and the first poems, the first bouquet of flowers, meeting the first teacher and classmates. Parents should try to make September 1 a truly festive day, but what kind of holiday is complete without a cake?
First Grade Cake Ideas
Recently, colored mastic has been increasingly used to decorate cakes.
First-graders are already considered students, but they are still children who love to play, run, frolic. And the cake for the first grader in honor of the beginning of the school year should be bright, colorful, appetizing and fun. The best option would be to order a confection from masters who will make a real tasty masterpiece with various figures and decorations. Currently, there is a large selection of various decorations: mastic, various types of creams, waffle pictures, etc. Confectioners will suggest cake decor ideas, or you can offer your own options.
Mastic cakes can be made at home, but it will be a laborious and time-consuming process. However, for the sake of their student, parents will try their best, and even learn how to make jewelry out of mastic. It can be purchased in specialized sections of supermarkets, or you can cook it yourself. There are a lot of recipes, for example, mastic made from gelatin, condensed milk, you can even use marshmallows.
On a note! White mastic is made multi-colored by adding food coloring to it.
Mastic cakes can look like this:
- White product with colorful letters on top, school bell, autumn leaves. Write a congratulation to your child, it will surely please him.
- The cake can be decorated with school bag figures, bouquets of flowers, pencils, pencil cases, felt-tip pens, molded from multi-colored mastic.
- Place on top two figures of smart students with flowers and satchels.
- The confectionery product can be in the form of a school bag, a desk, a bus, a globe, a notebook, a diary - turn on your imagination and come up with something original.
It is very easy to decorate a homemade cake for September 1 with a waffle picture. They are sold already with ready-made drawings, and you can also order an individual image or even transfer a photo to a waffle sheet. This option will also look interesting and unusual, and will also save a lot of time, because in comparison with mastic, manufacturing will not be so difficult.
You can use various types of creams as decoration. There are many recipes, and you can choose the one that suits your child. Of course, a creamy product will not look as impressive as cakes made of mastic or with waffle images, but it will transfer all the warmth of homemade baked goods. Imagine, try to make the shape of a notebook, pencil, satin. Decorate the top of the cake with cream or chocolate inscriptions, which are made using a pastry syringe.

Before you start decorating, you need to bake the product. Each housewife has her own proven recipe for delicious pastries. And all mothers want the cake to be not only beautiful, but also useful for the child's body. We bring to your attention a recipe for a cake with the addition of carrots, a very healthy vegetable.

- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup olive oil (regular sunflower oil can be used)
- A glass of wheat flour
- Vanilla sugar bag
- A teaspoon of baking powder
- 100 grams of washed and dried raisins
- A glass of sour cream
Cooking carrot cake like this:
- Carrots must be thoroughly washed and grated using a fine grater.
- Beat eggs with a glass of sugar until white foam appears.
- Pour vegetable oil into the egg-sugar mass, add carrots, mix everything thoroughly.
- Whisking the resulting mass with a mixer or blender, gradually add flour with baking powder into it. Pour in raisins.
- Grease a baking dish with oil, put the dough there.
- Bake until tender at 170-180 degrees. This will take approximately 30-40 minutes. Periodically, it is necessary to check the readiness with a wooden stick or toothpick.

Knowledge Day Teacher Cake
On September 1, teachers can be presented with bouquets of flowers, or an interesting unusual confection can be presented. Can you have a wide variety of ideas?
- Cool magazine cake
- Decoration in the form of a photo of the whole class transferred onto a waffle sheet
- Set of small cupcakes with themed decorations
On a note! The last option is good because the class teacher can easily distribute sweets to each student, so you should order or prepare yourself the number of cupcakes equal to the number of students in the class. Along with the cupcake set, order a cake made in the same style for the teacher to take home.
Of course, ready-made options look very impressive, with decorations made by professionals. But the class teacher will surely be moved if she receives a flour product that her wards baked themselves. On the eve of September 1, gather at someone's home, choosing in advance a suitable recipe. Let the parents of the student, in whose kitchen the confectionery masterpiece will be created, also take part in the process, because any joint work is very close. But the most interesting creative stage, of course, will be the decoration of the finished product.
The cake will help create a truly festive atmosphere by gathering everyone at one table. Even if you have never tried to bake at home, there is always an opportunity to order a finished product according to your sketch. And let September 1 really become a solemn day for the students.
