The top of the Easter cake can be sprinkled with colored coconut flakes, and on top can be placed multi-colored sugar dragees in the shape of eggs.

Painted eggs

Dyed eggs can also be used for decoration. For example, if your cake is of a non-standard shape with a depression inside, then you can put colored quail eggs there.

Food mastic for sculpting figures

You can show your imagination and make various Easter cake decorations using mastic.

To prepare it you will need 0.5 packs of chewing marshmallows and 400 g of powdered sugar. Melt the chewy marshmallows in the microwave.

Happy holiday!

Easter cake is like a big birthday cake! This is the main and long-awaited dessert. And it’s not only about its sweet dough, but also festive decoration. Traditional white glaze symbolizes purification and the beginning of a new life. All other decoration options - colored or chocolate fondant, inscriptions, sprinkles - appeared much later and also have the right to exist due to their aesthetic and taste qualities. So let’s get started with all sorts of recipes and decorate Easter cakes for the holiday.

Delicious, simple and quick decoration option

Let's start our acquaintance with culinary delights from the very simple recipes. They will be useful to those who are taking their first steps in the confectionery business, as well as to all housewives who love to whip up delicacies.

Option number 1 - powdered sugar. What could be simpler than decorating a cake with prepared powder or sugar crushed in a coffee grinder? Here, the traditional white color is preserved, and the delicacy will be simply finger-licking!

Option number 2 - whites whipped with sugar. You will need a blender, mixer or whisk. Sugar - half a glass for each protein (usually a couple of pieces are enough). If you baked the cakes yourself, then the yolks were used for the dough, and the remaining whites will be very useful for the glaze. Apply the whipped thick foam to the tops of the Easter cakes and let them dry in the oven. It turned out to be an economical recipe from our grandmothers.

Simple method No. 3 - ready-made Easter icing. It can be purchased during the holidays at any grocery supermarket. The contents of the small bag include powdered sugar with additives (starch and citric acid). The starch in the composition is necessary for faster thickening of the mass; a few minutes will be enough.

The recipe is usually written on the package: beat the powder with the egg whites in the indicated proportions and then brush the tops of the cakes with a spoon or pastry brush.

Secrets of making glaze

There are secrets to preparing a glaze that has the perfect consistency and taste. Let’s remember them once and for all so that we can be proud of our confectionery masterpieces later:

We use decorative sprinkles

Ready-made confectionery topping is a real miracle for decorating Easter cakes. One nuance is important: when exactly to sprinkle the baked goods with it. You need to catch the moment when the glaze has slightly frozen, but not completely dried. If you add the sprinkles too early into the liquid protein mass, then these colorful particles will simply melt. If it is too late, the sugar decorative elements will not attach to the surface of the cake. Otherwise there are no restrictions.

You can choose sprinkles of any colors and shapes in the store and decorate your baked goods however you like.

To decorate Easter cakes, you can combine different types of decor and create unique combinations of colors and shapes. For even more variety, the sprinkles can be replaced with equally beautiful, tasty and aromatic ingredients, namely:

• coconut flakes;
• shavings of dark, milk and white chocolate;
• candied fruits.

Instead of protein glaze, you can use homemade chocolate or a melted bar. Then use this option for decorating the cake: sprinkle shavings on the dark chocolate coating white, and vice versa, on white glaze- black chocolate.

For home lovers milk chocolate there is a proven one delicious recipe. You will need the following components:

• 100 g milk;
• 50 g butter;
• 1 tsp. Sahara;
• 4 tbsp. l. cocoa powder

Preparation:

1. Heat the milk on the stove.
2. Place cocoa and sugar in a saucepan with milk.
3. Separately, heat the butter in a water bath and pour it into the milk mixture.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
5. Immediately apply the prepared chocolate to the baked goods, as it hardens quite quickly.

Sweet letters and inscriptions

To make a sweet congratulatory inscription on an Easter cake, there are several interesting ways.

Original decor ideas

In addition to the popular options discussed, there are many more ways to decorate Easter cake in an original way. Roughly speaking, you can sprinkle everything sweet, small and beautiful onto the icing. For example:

Easter cakes turn out very beautiful if you stick defrosted berries on the icing. A couple of cherries in the center of a round sweet bread - it's cute, bright and delicious!

The pinnacle of confectionery art - beautiful Easter cake with figures made of sugar mastic or marzipan. You can buy them or make them yourself, like from plasticine. So get the kids involved in creating sweet figurines of bunnies, various flowers, chickens, pigeons, willow branches, miniature easter eggs, angels and everything else.

For children, you can prepare mini Easter cakes and use the following decoration methods: draw funny smiling faces, bright stars and wonderful hearts using any confectionery means.

But glue marshmallows or meringues to the largest Easter cake. Excellent as a culinary glue raw is fine protein.

The ideas for decorating Easter cakes don’t end there! Options:

Final touches before serving

Now you know almost everything about how to decorate Easter cake. There are still a few culinary and decorative subtleties left.

• To present the finished Easter cake beautifully, it is tied with one ribbon or several multi-colored, openwork, embroidered ones. Be sure to tie a lush bow, like on a gift. And you can attach a stem with a spring flower, live or artificial, to the ribbon. Place ears of wheat and decorated eggs side by side.
• Special culinary paper for wrapping Easter cakes (painted with floral and other motifs) is also sold.
• Easter baked goods look no less presentable on round white knitted napkins. A towel with an embroidered national ornament is also a good background for Easter dishes. If you like traditional plates, choose a neutral white one or one that matches the color of the decorations on your baked goods.

And the most important thing: Easter cakes should be decorated only in a great mood and with great love for the cooking process and for those people for whom the gifts are baked. Only then will real works come out as a result confectionery art, pleasant to look and taste.

There are several more options for decorating Easter cake.

Making your own powder

In addition to confectionery powder, which is made from solid glaze, multi-colored coconut flakes, colored sugar, semolina and even millet are used as dusting on Easter cakes. You can buy powder not only before Easter, but at any other time. It is stored for a long time, and in a cool, dry place the excess can 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.

Egg paint gives bright and rich colors. 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 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 look. 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, teaspoon by teaspoon, add powdered sugar sifted through a sieve. 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.

The icing is a wonderful decoration in itself. 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, a yolk is applied to the finished Easter cake to give it an appetizing shine and sprinkled with powdered sugar or brightly colored 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 in a 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 tinted 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 you can place painted eggs around the perimeter (we’ll 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. On the resulting fruit base, place the cake, decorated in the same style: 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 is the same sugar, only in the form of powder, with the addition citric acid and starch (for better whipping and thickening). You need to add egg white to the powdered glaze and beat it with a mixer; it whips quickly and hardens better than just whites and 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, and long, and with 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.

Easter eggs decorated with sugar figures made from mastic also look very original and beautiful - for example, these 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 top of the cake before baking or glued onto an already baked cake using raw egg white. 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 optional. Then, after baking, you can pour sugar syrup over the top of the cake 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 happy that the decorations will have a crispy golden crust and the same color as the rest of the 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 compared to decorations made from yeast dough, 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.

Mk roses

These are blanks for spikelets:


This is how you need to cut them with scissors:


Cut out different flowers and leaves on the rolled out dough:


For roses, you can use special recesses and assemble them according to the mastic type:


These are the preparations you can make while the cake is rising:
