Easter cake decoration. Happy Easter, friends! This is so beautiful... Picturesque ideas for decorating Easter cakes

Easter is one of the brightest Christian holidays of the year. It is preceded by Great Lent, which promotes the spiritual and physical cleansing of a Christian. The last day of fasting is Holy Saturday. And from midnight of the Holy Resurrection of Christ, Christians can already eat various festive dishes. But before you eat them, you need to cook them. Since the dishes are festive, they should not only be tasty, but also beautiful. Especially beautiful! “Culinary Eden” has prepared material for you about what and how to cook for Easter, how to decorate Easter dishes. I think it will be of interest not only to believers.

Kulich

Kulich, Easter, colored chicken eggs - these are, perhaps, the main edible attributes of the holiday of the Holy Resurrection of Christ.

Let's start with the familiar Easter cake. This is a rich, tall cylindrical bread, decorated with symbolic inscriptions, glaze, poppy seeds, and raisins. You can bake it yourself or buy it. Moreover, stores sell both already decorated Easter cakes and simple ones that you can decorate yourself. Easter cake recipes are on our website, so we will completely focus on decorating them.

There are several options for decorating Easter cake. 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. Easter cake is a 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 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, and chopped orange slices in the center. On the resulting fruit base, place the cake, decorated in the same style: fresh fruit on top of the glaze.

Another traditional dish that is prepared on Easter Sunday is Easter. Easter cake is often called Easter, but this is wrong. The main component of Easter is pureed cottage cheese. Butter, sour cream or cream, eggs and sugar are added to it. Cottage cheese Easter cakes were traditionally made in the form of a quadrangular pyramid, which personified Golgotha, the mountain in Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified. Nowadays, unfortunately, Easter is prepared much less often than, for example, Easter cakes. If you do get ready, know that you need to prepare Easter on Maundy Thursday.

Royal Easter

Ingredients:
1 kg of fresh, well-squeezed cottage cheese,
2-3 cups granulated sugar,
5 eggs
200 g butter,
2 cups sour cream,
1 packet of vanillin,
light seedless raisins, almonds to taste.

Preparation
Rub the cottage cheese and butter through a sieve, add sour cream, mix thoroughly, place the dishes on the stove and bring the mass to a boil while continuously stirring with a wooden spatula so that the mass does not burn. As soon as it boils, remove from heat and, if possible, cool quickly, also stirring continuously. Add sugar, raisins, almonds, vanillin to the cooled mass, mix everything, put it in an Easter bowl (Easter mold, sold in stores), knead the mass tightly, put a saucer on top, a small weight and put it in the refrigerator for a day.

Easter can also be decorated. Usually it already has a cross and the letters “ХВ” (depending on the form for Easter). So decorate them with candied fruits, pieces of fruit, raisins, nuts, culinary beads, and chocolate chips. You can make figurines from culinary mastic corresponding to the holiday, and use waffle flowers for decoration. Easter and Easter cakes can also be decorated with red candles.

Easter eggs

The egg is a symbol of life. At Easter, it is customary to dye chicken, and less often, goose eggs (waterfowl eggs must be boiled for at least 25 minutes due to the danger of salmonellosis). Do not paint eggs in dark gloomy colors. Red color and its shades should predominate. The red-painted egg symbolizes the rebirth of people through the blood of Jesus Christ. Painted eggs, a symbol of the holiday, add a special touch to the Easter table.

There are several “folk” ways to color eggs. For example, in onion peels, tea, coffee, grape juice, saffron and turmeric. But in this case we are more interested in not just a painted, but a decorated egg.

In modern conditions, when every minute counts, there are several ways to quickly color eggs. For example, use thermal labels. They are sold in stores. Simply place the label on the already boiled egg and place it in a bowl of hot water. A spectacular pattern is guaranteed! There is an even simpler way - special Easter-themed stickers. They are also sold on every corner on the eve of the holiday. You can also use special food colorings. However, there is one “but” - such jewelry cannot be called original.

If your soul and faith require something more, there are other ways to decorate Easter eggs. The main thing here is your own imagination. After all, an Easter egg is a gift. They exchange them, congratulating each other on the Holy Resurrection of Christ. So make a gift for your loved ones and friends with your soul!

First of all, the eggs need to be boiled. Then cool them and wipe them with a cotton cloth. Gouache or acrylic paints are perfect for coloring eggs. Of course, the most relevant theme is Easter. You can paint eggs with various ornaments, colors, patterns. Write wishes to your friends and family. Let's repeat - use your imagination! When painting with gouache or acrylic paint, it is worth remembering that such eggs cannot be stored for a long time, because the dye can penetrate under the shell.

If you are not very good at drawing or simply don’t like to do it, there are other ways to decorate Easter eggs in an original way. But, by the way, even if you are not a great artist, this should not scare you. I think that your loved ones will appreciate your work and will be happy with such a gift (a painted egg), even if something is drawn crookedly somewhere.

Let's return to other possibilities. You can use rhinestones, ribbons, even feathers to decorate Easter eggs. In stores you can find various small details for decoration: bows, braid, etc. Of course, in this case you also cannot do without your own imagination.

Another wonderful and easy way to color Easter eggs and give them an original look: with plant leaves. For example, decorative rooms.

It's simple. Take the eggs. If you will get the main color using food coloring, then boil it first. If the color base is obtained using, for example, onion peels, you don’t have to boil it in advance. In any case, you will need a clean nylon stocking to implement your plan. Place an Easter egg in it, and carefully place a plant leaf on the egg. Then secure the stocking with thread so that the sheet cannot move.

Next, place all the other eggs in the stocking in the same way. As a result, you have in your hands a kind of bunch of future Easter eggs. Next, place the stocking with “semi-finished products” in a pan where food coloring has been diluted in advance or in a pan with onion skins. Cook a little. By the way, if you use onion peels for coloring, the decor in this case will be especially impressive. It will look very natural, natural, even environmentally friendly.

As a rule, many relatives and friends gather for the Easter table. Try to prepare an Easter gift for everyone: a beautiful egg and a small Easter cake. By the way, Easter gifts, in addition to colored eggs and Easter cakes, can also be various chocolate sets on Easter themes, edible figurines of chickens, cockerels, rabbits and bunnies. Happy holiday to you!

Spring... The sun is truly warming, the snow is turning into streams, and everyone, young and old, is preparing for Easter. A little more and the house will smell fragrant Easter cakes and gingerbreads, and the whole family will gather around the wide table. Easter cake is a special baked product.

Don't cook the gelatin, just stir it into the hot syrup! Continue stirring for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes liquid, and then immediately beat with a mixer until thick.

And remember, dear reader, that the Resurrection of Christ is not only about decorated eggs and rich Easter cakes. On this day, try to go to church for a festive service, and a week before the celebration. Happy Easter, friends!

Easter cake decoration can be very diverse. They can be covered with protein glaze and multi-colored sprinkles. Also, the top of the Easter cakes can be decorated with dough figures lined with patterns of nuts and candies. You can also prepare mastic and fashion flowers, figures, tiny eggs and crosses out of it. Often, instead of glaze, the cake is poured with chocolate or syrup.

Flower cakes

Now there are a lot of ready-made floral decorations on sale, wafer, sugar and chocolate, but you can try making flowers yourself, for example, from marzipan.

Attention to detail

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.

Icing for Easter cake

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

Sugar culinary mastic for flowers and other decorations

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

Easter icing and decorative sprinkles

But they came up with a modern way of decorating Easter cakes, although in reality Easter glaze is the same sugar, only in the form of powder, with the addition of 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.

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:

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 is a photo of a lump of unleavened dough. It is kneaded in water with the addition of vegetable oil for elasticity.

These are the decorations I made using plungers.

In this photo, in addition to the roses, I came up with a 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 place the finished 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!

Frame the cake with them and secure your creativity with a beautiful bow or satin ribbon. 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.

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.
