And when you decide on the recipe, you can think about decorating Easter cakes for Easter with your own hands! I picked up a few options that I liked. And now I want to present them to your attention! 😉

The frosting doesn't have to be white. Look how delicious yellow looks! And on top - Easter gingerbread!

And then there's the glazed gingerbread. And how delicately pink paper looks, matched to the tone of the decorations!

And one more gingerbread option - birds, eggs, bunnies - ideal forms for Easter baking and decorations. And here are some cute bezies. I also liked the decoration with burlap and ribbon.

However, you can use any cream, depicting flowers! Do you remember the basket cakes from the 90s? That's right, this decor reminds them exactly, doesn't it?

Also, flowers for decorating Easter cakes for Easter can be made from mastic. Or buy ready-made ones. And if you don’t like mastic (like me), then you can look after waffle flowers - they are also edible, although their taste is usually inferior to their appearance.

If you love and know how to draw, then no problem at all! Look what a beauty! You can even make it with melted chocolate.

And here, in general, whole artistic creations!

Well, in the theme of domes, there is also such an Easter cake decoration for Easter - photo:

And here is another Easter cake, on which the protein glaze does not just lie on top, but plays the role of paint - the whole Easter cake is painted with it! Openwork!

By the way, in the subject of drawing - willow branches will look very solemn! I really liked this design. In my opinion, the perfect combination of colors and nothing more ...

Another option, brighter due to colored sugar sprinkles:

You can remember such a beloved in childhood dragee "Skittles" or "m & m" s. Decorate them in a chaotic manner or in an orderly manner. One year I applied them to Easter cakes "XB".

And if we have already started talking about colored dragees, then there is no way around Easter in the form of krashenok. If they are hard to find in supermarkets, you can try using chocolate-covered peanuts, chocolate-covered raisins, etc. as an alternative.

Dragee eggs can be laid out in different ways. For example, for chocolate chips:

Or for cream:

You can put such a dragee on icing with traditional Easter sprinkles:

How to decorate Easter cakes for Easter - a photo of incredible beauty, it seems to me! Here is the "drapery" of the whole Easter cake - stylization as a nest. And the carved middle of the cake with the egg-drops laid. The bird completes the look!

You can also use "Merci" chocolates or small thin chocolate bars, suitable candy size or wafers / wafer rolls in combination with dragees. Wrap them around the cake and secure with ribbon.

And the marshmallow?! This beauty can be made by first covering the Easter cake with cream, which in this case will act as glue.

You can make a real assortment on the cap of Easter cake - marshmallows / bezeshki, candied fruit / marmalade, nuts, etc.

I really liked this design - strictly and festively! Again, marshmallows, nuts and ... chopped chocolate bars. These slices look very appetizing, IMHO!

Nuts go well with other decor - chocolate icing, Easter gingerbread, sugar curly decorations.

And look how original the Easter cake decor looks with pistachio cream and the nuts themselves! I really like the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcovering the sides of the cake and such decor on top!

You can add inedible elements to the decor. Although, personally, in this photo I really liked not a bird, but beautifully applied.

And one more idea in the theme of assorted. Take a look! There are no nuts and dried fruits here!

And you can make the design more strict, but festive - for example, with the help of candied citrus and almond flakes.

The idea of ​​\u200b\u200bdecorating Easter cakes with protein glaze and berries. You can use fresh (now you can get them in April) or frozen. But in the latter case, be careful. If the berries are defrosted, the juice may leak. Therefore, it is better to lay out just before serving and more for decoration. However, you can replace them with marmalade imitating berries. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top - a la snow))

And also, in my opinion, we completely forgot about the decor of Easter cakes from the dough itself! After all, this way you can decorate not only pies and loaves.

You can bake dough decorations separately, and then put them on hot icing or warmed jam.

Another great idea is to cover the sides of the cake with white icing or cream, and the top with chocolate with smudges. And beautifully lay out your favorite Oreo cookies on top.

Well, in the end, even with ordinary cream, you can decorate Easter cakes in a very original and festive way! It is enough to have a confectionery syringe with nozzles. Look how beautiful! Also, lace gives a special "zest":

I hope that my selection of ideas for decorating Easter cakes for Easter with a photo turned out to be useful to you! Save it for yourself and experiment! 😉

Which of the ideas did you like the most?

Easter cake - like a big birthday cake! This is the main and long-awaited dessert. And the point is not only in its sweet dough, but also in the festive decoration. Traditional white glaze symbolizes cleansing and the beginning of a new life. All other decoration options - colored or chocolate fudge, inscriptions, sprinkles - appeared much later and also have the right to exist due to their aesthetic and taste qualities. So let's start getting acquainted with all kinds of recipes and decorate Easter cakes for the holiday.

Delicious, simple and quick decor option

Let's start our acquaintance with culinary delights with the simplest recipes. They will be useful to those who take their first steps in the confectionery business, as well as to all hostesses who love to cook goodies in a hurry.

Option number 1 - powdered sugar. What could be easier than decorating Easter cake with ready-made powder or sugar crushed in a coffee grinder? Here, the traditional white color is observed, and the delicacy will turn out - just lick your fingers!




Option number 2 - proteins whipped with sugar. You will need a blender, mixer or whisk. Sugar - half a cup for each protein (usually a couple of pieces are enough). If you baked Easter cakes on your own, then the yolks went to the dough, and the remaining proteins will be very useful for icing. Whipped thick foam is applied to the tops of the Easter cakes and allowed to dry in the oven. It turned out to be an economical recipe of our grandmothers.

Easy way number 3 - ready-made Easter icing. It can be purchased on holiday days at any grocery supermarket. The contents of a small sachet include powdered sugar with additives (starch and citric acid). Starch in the composition is necessary for a faster thickening of the mass, a few minutes will be enough.

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

Glaze secrets

There are secrets in preparing the glaze that is ideal in terms of consistency and taste. Let's remember them once and for all, so that later we can be proud of our confectionery masterpieces:

How to make protein glaze - video

Use decorative sprinkles

Ready-made confectionery topping is a real miracle for decorating Easter cakes. One nuance is important: exactly when to sprinkle it on pastries. You need to catch the moment when the glaze is slightly frozen, but not completely dry. If you add the sprinkles too early, into the liquid protein mass, then these multi-colored particles will simply melt. If it is too late, then the sugar decorations will not stick to the surface of the cake. Otherwise, there are no restrictions.

You can choose in the store toppings of any colors and shapes and decorate pastries as you like.

You can combine different types of decor to decorate Easter cakes, create unique combinations of colors and shapes. For even more variety, the topping can be replaced with no less beautiful, tasty and fragrant ingredients, namely:

  • coconut flakes;
  • shavings of black, milk and white chocolate;
  • candied fruit.

Instead of protein glaze, you can take home-made chocolate or melted tiles. Then use this option to decorate the Easter cake: pour white chips on the dark chocolate coating, and vice versa, on the white icing - dark chocolate.

For lovers of homemade milk chocolate, there is a proven delicious recipe. You will need the following components:

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

Cooking:

  1. We heat milk on the stove.
  2. We fall asleep in a saucepan with cocoa milk and sugar.
  3. Separately, heat the butter in a water bath and pour it into the milk mixture.
  4. Bring the mass to a boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
  5. We immediately apply the prepared chocolate to the baking, as it solidifies quickly enough.

Sweet letters and inscriptions

There are several interesting ways to make a sweet congratulatory inscription on Easter cake.


Original decor ideas

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

Easter cakes come out very beautiful if you stick thawed berries on the icing. A pair of cherries in the center of round sweet bread is cute, bright and appetizing!

The pinnacle of confectionery craftsmanship is a beautiful Easter cake with figures made of sugar mastic or marzipan. They are bought or molded independently, as if from plasticine. So get the kids involved in making sweet figurines of bunnies, flowers, chickens, doves, willow branches, miniature Easter eggs, angels and more.

For children, you can cook mini-cakes and use the following decoration methods: draw funny smiling faces, bright stars and wonderful hearts with any confectionery.

But glue marshmallows or meringues to the largest Easter cake. Raw protein works great as a cooking glue.

Easter cake decorating ideas don't end there! Options:

Final touches before serving

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

There are several other options for decorating Easter cake.

Making your own powder

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

Egg paint gives bright and saturated colors. It needs very little, so you can use the leftovers. But if vinegar was added to the paint, it is not suitable for making powder. Semolina or sugar is placed for a few seconds in cold paint and dried on paper. After drying, large lumps can be broken 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 if you apply the powder in stripes or concentric circles. You can also cut out a stencil with XB letters and simple patterns and apply powder through the stencil, letters and patterns in one color, the background in another.

Traditionally, it is decorated with the letters "XB". This is an abbreviation for the Easter greeting "Christ is Risen!". 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 "XB" are molded from dough. And when the cake is ready, sprinkle it with powdered sugar, and highlight the letters with bright sprinkles (culinary beads, for example), chocolate.

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

Icing for Easter cake

Ingredients:
1-2 egg whites
0.5 cups of powdered sugar,
1 st. a spoonful of lemon juice.

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

The icing is a beautiful decoration in itself. However, you can add (sprinkle) nuts, dried fruits, grated chocolate, multi-colored confectionery beads to it. Again, you can lay out the letters “XB” from fruits. And you can just write these letters with icing. Lots of options. Kulich is a festive treat, so get creative! Often, to give it an appetizing shine, the yolk is applied to the finished cake and sprinkled with powdered sugar or bright sprinkles. They mold a symbol of faith - a cross - from dough and highlight it with glaze. Can be used for decoration (already on top of the glaze), for example, waffle flowers, flowers from culinary mastic.

Sugar mastic for flowers and other decorations

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

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

Here's how you can mold, for example, roses from mastic. To begin with, using food coloring, tint the mastic in pink, green, scarlet, yellow and other colors. Leave some white mastic as well. Put the pieces of colored mastic in a plastic bag to keep it soft and pliable. Use it in small portions.

From a small piece of mass, mold a “carrot” and place it on a table or plank. After that, roll up 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 shape. Make the petals thinner on one edge, thicker on the opposite. Then slightly moisten the lower part of the petal with water and wrap it around the “carrot”, thus making the ovary of the flower. From the second ball, blind the next petal. Moisten the bottom again at the base of the petal and wind it onto the workpiece so that the middle of the second petal closes 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. Petals should be made as thin as possible towards the edges and thicker at the base! If an excess mass of glaze has formed at the bottom of the flower, it can be cut off with scissors.

Then you need to prepare the leaves for the flowers. From 3-4 green balls (can be of different sizes) form "carrots". With two thumbs, press down on the middle of the "carrot" and give it the shape of a leaf. Then with a knife in the center of the sheet, and after obliquely, apply veins. The leaf can be given any shape and bent as you like. Dry. When flowers and leaves are ready, they are collected in a bouquet. Attach 2 to 3 leaves to one flower.

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

Easter icing and decorative sprinkles


But they came up with a modern way to decorate Easter cakes, although in fact Easter icing 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 glaze in the form of a powder and beat with a mixer, it whips quickly and freezes better than just whites with sugar.

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


And after a few minutes, when the icing on the Easter cakes dries up, but does not harden - do not miss it, the topping will simply crumble with the frozen icing!) - decorate with multi-colored sugar sprinkles.
And there are so many types of sprinkles - both round, and long, and asterisks, and different colors! Entrust the work of sprinkling cakes with sprinkles to the children - they really like this business! True, part of the topping is eaten :)

But look how else you can elegantly paint Easter cakes with the help of ordinary icing and natural dyes!

Candied fruits, sugar beads and sugar figurines


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

Also, pastries decorated with mastic sugar figurines look very original and beautiful - for example, with such cute chickens. But these figurines, to be honest, you can’t gnaw through ...

And sugar beads, shiny, gold and silver - although they are very beautiful, I do not advise you to take them for decoration! They are good only in appearance, but they taste very hard and absolutely unbreakable. And even dangerous for kids. So we'd better take...

Sugar pencils!



Brilliant invention!!! Well done to the confectioner who invented them! The process of decorating baking - Easter cakes, muffins, cookies - turns into creativity! You can draw whatever patterns you want, leaves, flowers, put specks - paint a little pasochka like a krashanka! The set includes three pencils of different colors - red, green and yellow. It is very exciting to paint Easter cakes with them for the whole family! Give the kids a Easter cake for decoration, and let them paint as they want!


Dough decoration

Two types of dough decorations

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

If the cake is baked together with decorations, to give a beautiful look, the top is smeared with a beaten egg or vegetable oil. But this is optional. Then, after baking, the top of the cake can be poured with sugar syrup and even a fine powder can be applied over the syrup. Cover the gaps between decorations with glaze, glue nuts and candied fruits with protein.

For jewelry from sweet dough:
150 gr. flour,
30 gr. margarine,
1 st. l. sour cream
20 gr. Sahara,
1 egg.

Perhaps you are quite satisfied that the decorations will be with a crispy golden crust and the same color as the whole cake. Then decorations can be made from the same dough from which Easter cake is prepared. Well, if you still want them to contrast in color, take on board one more piece of decoration advice can be made from yeast, but not rich dough. Carefully, on the dough that has already risen, smeared with egg suspension, prepared decorations are laid out and the cake is sent for baking.

Of course, there is no comrade for the taste and color. I prefer to work with special dough, then the decorations are more airy and elegant. Finished decorations are placed on the hot surface of the baked cake. Since they turn out to be very thin compared to decorations made from yeast dough, it is enough to place the decor attached to the cake 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 they need to be cut with scissors:


On the rolled dough, cut out different flowers and leaves with notches:


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


These are the blanks you can make while the cake is coming up:

How to beautifully decorate an Easter cake with your own hands - a master class

In order to decorate the Easter cake in an original way, you can use the simplest and most familiar products, i.e. and food colorings. You can also use natural dyes, turmeric, cocoa, beet and carrot juice, etc.

For the base, we take white fondant, and put dots in a circle for the color.

With the help of a toothpick we make stains.

The center can be decorated with colored powder or a mastic flower.

Using this technique, you can create a completely different jewelry.

How to decorate an Easter cake with mastic?

We will need some bright colors of mastic and some white or pale pink. From it we blind the Easter Bunny. As well as green coconut flakes, which will act as a lawn.

Let's form a small cone and slightly bend its thinner edge.

Let's make a few small balls of the main color and flatten them slightly - these will be the cheeks and eyes. Glue them on with water.

Now we need green and red mastic. From green we will make pupils, from red - a mouth, and a nose from pink (mix white and red).

We blind the ears from light mastic.

Attach them to the head.

Let's make a green tie.

And let's add handles.

We roll out a layer of bright color and cut out flowers using a cookie cutter or a special one for mastic.

Let's make a stamen.

From mastic of bright colors we roll up eggs.

We collect all the elements in a single composition, as fantasy will tell us.

From the remaining mastic, you can cut out flowers and leaves for future use, you just need to let them dry completely and store in airtight packaging.

How to decorate Easter cakes for Easter with your own hands using dough?

Such a decoration implies that after you have taken the cake out of the oven, you do not smear or sprinkle it with anything. Just before baking, be sure to brush the surface of the cake with a beaten egg so that the top shines beautifully. And so that the decor elements are clearly visible on the finished baking, we advise you to make them from yeast, but unleavened dough, or from the simplest: flour with water and salt. This test is easy to work with.

It is best to place decor elements on the top of the cake 15 minutes before it is ready, during which time they will be baked, but at the same time they will contrast beautifully with the tanned crust.

Although if this is an unleavened dough, then it is not very fried anyway.

Now let's talk about the technique of creating some decoration elements.

To make a rosette, cut out a few circles from thinly rolled dough (an ordinary cork is well suited for this) and spread them suddenly on top of each other.

Now we twist them into a roller.

It turns out such a tube.

Now cut it into two equal parts.

We put them on the cut and bend the petals a little.

To make spikelets, we will form blanks and make cuts on them with scissors.

For flat flowers and leaves, you can use various forms for cookies or for working with mastic.

Now everything that we cut out and stuck on can be placed on top of baking and put in the oven.
