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 of 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:

The most traditional decorations for easter, of course, are multi-colored, patterned eggs, which are the same symbol of the holiday as rich cake. However, your energy and creative fervor can be spent not only on eggs and eggshells, but also on the transformation of various Easter cakes according to all the latest fashion trends. We have prepared for you a selection of wonderful ideas that will help you assemble the most beautiful basket for the holiday, set a wonderful table, and surprise all your relatives and friends.

DIY Easter decorations

There are ways DIY Easter decorations eggs, which have been used for a long time, because such an Easter decor has been a wonderful souvenir since ancient times (you can recall the amazing precious works of the jeweler Faberge). That is why works in this style will always be very popular.

True, as they say, with a swoop, you cannot master such a technique, it will take not only time for training and preparation, but also the purchase of expensive materials such as beads, sequins, beads, rhinestones. The second important point is that similar ones should be approached with the principle of moderation and with the presence of good taste, since there is a risk of overdoing it with decorations and the finished result will not cause delight, but bewilderment. The whole decor can be applied in several ways, the simplest of which is gluing, although the work is painstaking, it does not require any special preparation of the material, this can be done even on hard-boiled testicles. On the other hand, so much time is spent on crafts, so much inspiration that you want to keep it as long as possible, so most often they use either an empty shell or even special blanks (wooden, foam, etc.) for imitation.

The second technique that helps us make a beautiful pattern on traditional do-it-yourself decorations for Easter (photo you can see above) - this is decoupage and applications. Moreover, if today this word is understood in most cases as gluing a thin paper napkin with a pattern onto the surface, then it turns out that our great-grandmothers were also engaged in applications, as a traditional type of painting. This technique consists in applying the leaves of different plants to the shell, tying them with threads, and then immersing them in a solution with a natural dye (onion peel, turmeric). As a result, you will get a shell with a very delicate floral pattern. For those who are still close to decoupage, it is worth using not a special glue, but a starch solution thick enough to stick thin paper. It is applied directly to the surface of the napkin with a brush, carefully distributing and leveling the paper in an ellipse, and after drying you get excellent, suitable, moreover, for food like any others.

Easter egg decoration

Fashion for various decorative styles in decorating eggs for easter also exists. Only now, in our complex rhythm of life, it is quite difficult to allocate time to learn any folk, ancient technique or ornaments in a quality manner. Plus, cellophane thermal stickers have appeared, which in a second will turn an ordinary chicken egg into a decor covered with Gzhel and Petrikovskaya painting, icons and pictures on the Easter theme. Only there will be no beauty in such stickers, it’s better if you spend a little more time, but yours will be original and fashionable.

In compositions for decoration today, krashanki are increasingly used, which are decorated with foil. You can use the most ordinary, food, only you should choose not the densest and thickest, as we used to do for cooking, but, on the contrary, the thinnest. The gluing process will be quite simple, you need to draw the desired pattern on the shell, the most elementary - geometric shapes, stripes, abstractions, and then carefully apply the cut pieces of foil to the marked places, transferring them with tweezers. As you can see in the photo, you can decorate both a painted surface and a white one, it still looks impressive. Include in the composition such a decor with a shell that is either completely covered with foil, or specially painted with such a dye, this will create a wonderful contrast.

Among them, the tradition of Western countries is increasingly being used, when various krashankas are hiding on the site and the task of the children will be to find them all. It will be much more fun if they are not just colorful or ornamented, but made in a manner that children will like. You can see examples of such children's decor in the photo above: testicles turn into fluffy chickens, and into fairy-tale or cartoon characters, and into birds of distant lands. Separately, I want to talk about the rainbow technique, which will allow both to please the kids with the finished result, and the coloring process itself, which will look like a real trick. It will require paints that create a film on the surface of the water, they are called paints for marble technique (marble), if you are working with a workpiece that you are not going to use for food, then the same effect can be obtained using nail polishes. Paints of several colors are poured into the water, then they are mixed, armed with a wooden skewer, to make stains. Holding the workpiece with tweezers or in another way, dip it into water and the paint-film from its surface passes to the shell, forming bizarre, unique patterns. After staining, the work must be dried and covered with a transparent varnish (for an inedible variety).

Do-it-yourself egg decoration for Easter

cute decorating eggs for Easter with their own hands it can be quite simple, you just need to choose for yourself the technique and those tools that you would like to work with the most. For some, wax pencils or acrylic paints will be easy, for others, a marker that allows you to draw the thinnest lines and the most complex patterns.

Despite their simplicity, ready-made patterns can look very impressive and can be successfully used in home decorating for easter. For example, pay attention to the painting with small flowers, which is done with a thin brush. To prevent the paint from spreading, the surface must be degreased with any alcohol-containing liquid and wiped dry, and the shell must also be completely cooled. Apply small strokes with paint, first draw a few of the largest flowers, then place medium ones between them and complete the composition with the smallest ones. Such patterns will go well with green, floral design is always in fashion.

You can see other examples in the examples above. Braid, woolen threads, twine, fine lace will help you process a dozen eggs in just half an hour so that they become part of a festive composition or an Easter basket.

It is mastic that allows you to create a decor similar to decorating a birthday cake, and at the same time you can choose whether to follow the traditional color scheme or experiment. You can completely wrap the cake with mastic in different ways, for example, giving it the most even shape, for which you can even cut off the top with an even knife. You can also give it the shape of an egg, decorate it with a painting using sugar pencils. In other cases, white mastic is stretched over the surface in the same way as protein glaze, only in this case you completely control its shape, evenness of distribution, and so on.

For flat, wide Easter cake recipes with photos of decorations may also include decor using mastic. But look at what interesting options there can be, for example, with drawing on a ruddy baking surface with powdered sugar and a stencil. In the same way, you can draw with crushed coffee beans, grated chocolate or cocoa.

Who said that only sugar balls, hearts and similar sprinkles are worthy of being placed on top. In the photo you can see which decorations for Easter buy this year.
