When we decorate a cake at home, then, of course, we do not expect it to look like a confectioner's creation.
Nevertheless, I want to give the baking aesthetic and attractive appearance. Let's look at several options for simple and delicious homemade cake decorations. They will help you make your holiday brighter.
We decorate the cake at home with our own floral paste
The composition of this material contains several infrequently occurring ingredients that can only be bought in specialized shops for confectioners. But if you get them, you will not regret it. After all, working with this material is a pleasure. And when we decorate the cake at home, then this is an important aspect. You will need one raw protein from an egg, two glasses of powdered sugar, a teaspoon of palm fat (it is also called confectionery). An important component is microcrystalline cellulose, which serves as a thickener for mastic.
It needs about three teaspoons. Beat raw protein for ten seconds - you will need a mixer or blender at high speed. Set aside two tablespoons of powdered sugar. And the rest, add in portions to the protein foam and beat each time. Now at medium speed. The mass should begin to shine. Now is the turn of cellulose. Pour it in portions with a small interval. And also stir well. After all the pulp powder is in the sugar mass, you need to stop and remove the mixer. Then rinse it quickly. Otherwise, it may deteriorate. Put the paste on the remaining amount of powdered sugar. Lubricate hands with fat, knead. The paste will become elastic. Now we place it in the refrigerator for a day, before use we bring it to room temperature and decorate the cake at home. You can store this material in a cold place for up to six months.
How to decorate a cake with protein cream?
This material holds its shape very well. But in order to interlayer cakes, you will need to make another cream, more tasty and moist. For this, you will need five proteins, 350 g of special jelly sugar and half a glass of water. As well as a pinch of salt. Mix sugar with water and make syrup, boiling over low heat for a quarter of an hour. Beat the whites with salt. Conduct a test on a caramel ball and, if the syrup has already reached the desired condition, brew them with proteins. Continue whipping until the cream cools. Before decorating a cake with a
confectionery syringe, you must make sure that the cream, and the syringe, and the cakes are well cooled. By the way, you can make an icing from similar ingredients. He needs one protein, sifted icing sugar (250 or 300 g), as well as a few drops of lemon juice. In a whipped protein, add a tablespoon of powder, and then mix the rest. Add dropwise lemon juice and the desired color. Shuffle. Balls can be made from aising by applying strips to the prepared base. This is a very fragile material, and therefore you should be careful not to damage it.
