There are several more decoration options Easter cake.

Making your own powder

In addition to confectionery powder, which is made from solid glaze, multi-colored powder is used as a dusting on Easter cakes. coconut flakes, colored sugar, semolina and even millet. You can buy powder not only before Easter, but at any other time. It can be stored for a long time and in dry cool place the surplus may remain until next year. Making your own powder is also easy. To do this you will need food coloring and a base. At home, semolina is best, but, of course, a sprinkle of sugar will be tastier.

Bright and rich colors gives paint for eggs. You only need a little bit, so you can use the leftovers. But if vinegar was added to the paint, it will not be suitable for making powder. Semolina or sugar is placed in cold paint for a few seconds and dried on paper. After drying, you can break up large lumps into which cereals and sugar soaked in paint stick together.

Usually colored powder is mixed, or it is already sold in a mixed form. But coconut flakes, for example, are packaged in individual colors. You can decorate the Easter cake in an original way by applying the powder in stripes or concentric circles. You can also cut out a stencil with the letters XB and simple patterns and apply powder through the stencil, letters and patterns in one color, and the background in another.

Traditionally it is decorated with the letters “ХВ”. This is an abbreviation for the Easter greeting “Christ is Risen!” The letters can be laid out with pieces of finely chopped fruit, raisins, dried apricots... Candied fruits (usually flat and multi-colored) are also used for inscriptions. And the letters “ХВ” are made from dough. And when the cake is ready, sprinkle it with powdered sugar, and highlight the letters with bright sprinkles (cooking beads, for example), or chocolate.

Glaze. Decorating Easter cakes with icing is a very common way to give them a festive, beautiful view. The glaze is prepared from egg white and sugar (or powdered sugar), which are thoroughly whipped until thick foam.

Icing for Easter cake

Ingredients:
1-2 egg whites,
0.5 cups of powdered sugar,
1 tbsp. spoon of lemon juice.

Preparation
The protein must be chilled. Beat it with a mixer. Start the process at first speed and gradually increase it. You can understand that it is enough to beat by turning the bowl with the egg white upside down - the egg white should not spill out. When the required consistency is achieved, begin to gradually, one teaspoon at a time, introduce the sifted mixture through a sieve. powdered sugar. Finally add lemon juice and beat for another 10 seconds. Apply the finished glaze to the hot cakes - then it will fit tightly and is unlikely to crumble. Another way to add additional “strength” to the glaze is to put the cakes in the oven for a minute, heated to 100-120°C.

Glaze - on its own wonderful decoration. However, you can add (sprinkle) nuts, dried fruits, grated chocolate, and multi-colored confectionery beads to it. Again, you can make the letters “XB” from the fruits. Or you can just write these letters with icing. There are many options. Kulich - holiday treat, so use your imagination! Often on ready-made Easter cake To give it an appetizing shine, apply the yolk and sprinkle with powdered sugar or bright sprinkles. They mold the dough into a symbol of faith - a cross - and highlight it with icing. Can be used for decoration (already on top of the glaze), for example, waffle flowers, flowers made from culinary mastic.

Sugar culinary mastic for flowers and other decorations

Ingredients:
250 g powdered sugar,
2 tsp gelatin powder,
6 tsp water,
1 tsp glucose.

Preparation
Sift the powdered sugar. Pour it into a bowl. Take another bowl (small) and place the gelatin in it. Sprinkle it with water and let it swell for 2-3 minutes. Then place the bowl of gelatin on water bath and dissolve it, stirring gently. Immediately after the gelatin has dissolved, pour in the glucose. The resulting liquid should be more or less transparent. Next, make a hole in the powdered sugar and pour a mixture of gelatin and glucose into it. Stir well, using a knife or chopping movements. After this, place the mastic in a plastic bag and the bag in an airtight container. Leave for 3-4 hours at room temperature. After this, you can sculpt flowers and other decorations from mastic.

Here's how to make, for example, roses from mastic. To begin, use food coloring to tint the mastic pink, green, scarlet, yellow and other colors. Leave a little white mastic. Place pieces of colored mastic in a plastic bag to keep it soft and pliable. Use it in small portions.

Make a “carrot” from a small piece of mass and place it on a table or board. After this, roll balls of the same size from the colored mass - future rose petals. Mash the first ball with a teaspoon on a table dusted with powdered sugar, then use your hands to shape it into a petal. Make the petal thinner on one edge and thicker on the opposite edge. Then lightly moisten the lower part of the petal with water and wrap it around the “carrot”, thereby making the ovary of the flower. Make the next petal from the second ball. Moisten the bottom at the base of the petal again and screw it onto the workpiece so that the middle of the second petal covers the “seam” of the first petal. Glue the third petal and bend it from the middle to the side. So make 5-6 petals.

Let the finished flowers dry for 5-6 hours. The petals should be made as thin as possible towards the edges and thicker at the base! If there is excess glaze on the bottom of the flower, you can trim it off with scissors.

Then you need to prepare the leaves for the flowers. Form “carrots” from 3-4 green balls (can be of different sizes). Using two thumbs, press the middle of the carrot into a leaf shape. Then use a knife in the center of the sheet, and then diagonally, apply veins. The leaf can be given any shape and bent the way you like. Dry it. When the flowers and leaves are ready, they are collected into a bouquet. Apply 2 to 3 leaves to one flower.

The cake should be served on a large plate, on which painted eggs can be placed around the perimeter (we will talk about them later). But there is another option: with fruit. To do this, cover the kiwi with chamomile, and place a mixture of nuts, prunes, fresh berries, chopped orange slices. Place a cake decorated in the same style on the resulting fruit base: fresh fruit on top of the glaze.

Easter icing and decorative sprinkles

But they came up with it modern way Easter cake decorations, although in reality Easter icing- this is the same sugar, only in the form of powder, with the addition of citric acid and starch (for better whipping and thickening). Add to powdered glaze egg white and beat with a mixer, it whips quickly and hardens better than just whites with sugar.

Apply the glaze to the tops of the cakes with a brush or spoon and wait a couple of minutes. Because if you sprinkle the sprinkles right away, it will get wet and melt.

And after a few minutes, when the glaze on the Easter cakes dries, but does not harden - don’t miss it, the sprinkles will simply fall off from the frozen glaze!) - decorate with multi-colored sugar sprinkles.
And there are so many types of sprinkles - round ones, long ones, and stars, and in different, different colors! Entrust the work of sprinkling the Easter cakes with sprinkles to the children - they really like this job! True, some of the sprinkles are eaten :)

But look at how else you can elegantly paint Easter cakes using regular glaze and natural dyes!

Candied fruits, sugar beads and sugar figures

You can decorate Easter cakes not with sprinkles, but with multi-colored candied fruits. It looks very beautiful, but candied fruits are large and hard, so it is better not to give them to small children.

Also, beaded beads decorated with sugar figurines from mastic - for example, with such cute chickens. But, to be honest, you can’t chew these figures...

And sugar beads, shiny, gold and silver - although they are very beautiful, I do not recommend taking them for decoration! They are only good to look at, but they taste very hard and absolutely indestructible. And they are even dangerous for children. So let's take it...

Sugar crayons!

Brilliant invention!!! Well done to the pastry chef who invented them! The process of decorating baked goods - Easter cakes, cupcakes, cookies - turns into creativity! You can draw whatever patterns you want, leaves, flowers, put dots - paint the little bead like a paint job! The set includes three pencils of different colors - red, green and yellow. It’s so much fun to decorate Easter cakes with them for the whole family! Give the kids an Easter cake to decorate and let them paint it however they want!

Dough decoration

Two types of dough decorations

Decorations are placed on the top of the cake before baking or glued onto an already baked cake using raw protein. You can make decorations from the same dough from which the Easter cake is made, or from another dough that is less susceptible to deformation during baking. Braids are woven from the dough, flowers are made, letters and crosses are laid out.

If the cake is baked with decorations, the top is brushed with beaten egg or vegetable oil to give it a beautiful appearance. But this is not necessary. Then, after baking, you can pour the top of the cake sugar syrup and even apply a fine powder on top of the syrup. Cover the gaps between the decorations with glaze and glue nuts and candied fruits with egg white.

For decorations from butter dough:

• 150 gr. flour,
• 30 gr. margarine,
• 1 tbsp. l. sour cream,
• 20 gr. Sahara,
• 1 egg.

You may be quite happy with the decorations being crispy. golden crust and the same color as the whole Easter cake. Then the decorations can be made from the same dough from which the Easter cake is made. Well, if you still want them to contrast in color, take another tip: decorations can be made from yeast dough, but not butter dough. Carefully, the prepared decorations are laid out on the already proofed dough, greased with egg slurry, and the cake is sent for baking.

Of course, there is no comrade according to taste and color. I prefer to work with special dough, then the decorations turn out more airy and elegant. The finished decorations are placed on the hot surface of the baked Easter cake. Since they turn out to be very thin in comparison with jewelry made from yeast dough, then the decor attached to the Easter cake just needs to be placed in a hot oven for a few minutes to fix and create a light shade.

Simple dough-Flour, salt and water, knead a stiff dough and make decorations.

Plungers with which you can make flowers and leaves. If you don't have any, it doesn't matter. A variety of things can be done using scissors. Below photo is a lump unleavened dough. It is mixed with water with the addition vegetable oil, for elasticity.

In this photo, besides the roses, I came up with bunch of grapes. I simply formed small balls from the dough, imitating grapes.

The dough placed in the mold was proofed and rose well. Be sure to brush the top with yolk. Now we can start decorating. Here we turn on our imagination and post it ready-made decorations on the dough. Now we grease the decorations with protein. On this loaf I made two bunches of grapes.

Yes, the yolk and white add contrast to the base and decorations. When baked, the yolk turns brown, but the white remains light.

Decorate and place in the oven at 160-170 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

I hope you choose a decoration you like to make your Easter cake attractive and delicious!
