On the first day of Easter, the artos is carried around the church. Then he is left on the lectern, where he stays for a week. On Holy Week, it is cut and distributed to all parishioners of the church. Artos symbolizes the bread of life. The acceptance of artos is comparable to communion.

Beautiful Easter cakes are obtained from those who are willing to spend not so much money as time and imagination. In general, the basis of almost all edible Easter decor is sugar and dyes. The exception is decor from dried fruits, nuts and chocolate. Consider how to decorate Easter cake for Easter using the simplest and most affordable ingredients.

Pastry decoration


Experienced housewives make exquisite decorations from Easter cake dough. For example, my grandmother always decorates Easter cakes with small curly crosses. Such decorations are prepared from the same dough as the Easter cakes themselves. You can make braids, spirals, letters and flowers, leaves and petals. Dyes are also sometimes added to the dough for decorations.



In order for your decorations to look beautiful even after baking, you need to proceed as follows:

  • let the cake rise
  • cut out decorations and attach them to the top of the cake with protein
  • grease the cake already with the decorations with a beaten egg or butter
  • pour ready-made and still hot cakes with syrup

You can also bake pastry decor separately from Easter cake, and then attach it to the finished cake. So you can be sure of the result, because in any case, jewelry made from yeast dough will rise during baking.

Easter cake decoration with icing


Decorating Easter cakes for Easter is also traditionally done with white icing. It would seem that it could be easier mixture proteins and sugar. However, not everyone succeeds good frosting. You can often see Easter cakes from which the icing is just glass, leaving sloppy drips and excess moisture. This result is obtained if too much moisture is added to the glaze. Also, the icing, which is simply smeared on Easter cake, does not look very nice. This option is usually found on purchased mass-produced Easter cakes.



A richly watered Easter cake looks much neater and more appetizing, the icing on which has had time to harden well and not spread too much. The most important thing in preparing the glaze is to keep the proportions of the ingredients in such a way that the glaze must be frozen. I will describe in detail how exactly such a fondant is prepared for Easter cake, and I will also present to your attention several useful recipes.

Sugar icing for Easter cakes

Mix one cup of finely ground sugar with 4 tablespoons boiled water, add dye and aromatic additive taste. For example, I really like additives with the aroma of rum and almonds. The mixture must be mixed well and heated to about 40 degrees. The proportions of water and powder are approximate. If it's too thin, add more icing sugar; if it's too thick, add more water. You can also add lemon juice, which will make the glaze taste richer. Apply sugar icing on Easter cakes immediately after preparation.

Sugar- protein glaze for Easter cakes

The recipe for sugar-protein icing for Easter cakes is no less popular. It is important to make sure the quality chicken eggs so that the delicacy turns out to be safe for health. To prepare, take 1 protein and beat it with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Then gradually introduce 1 cup of finely ground powdered sugar into the protein. The density of the glaze can be adjusted with the amount of lemon juice and powdered sugar. It is imperative to use such a glaze immediately so that it does not have time to harden.

Fruit glaze for Easter cakes

Fruit glaze is prepared using fruit and berry juices, which makes it possible to play with its color and palatability. Egg white(1 pc.) You need to beat into a strong foam, add about 1 cup of finely ground powdered sugar, and then about 3 tablespoons of fruit or berry juice. The density of such a glaze is also regulated by the juice and powdered sugar.

Easter cake decoration with mastic


Decorating Easter cakes with mastic is more complicated, but it also opens up more opportunities for creativity. You can treat mastic as with plasticine, sculpting and cutting out figures, flowers, leaves, as well as traditional decorations for cakes. Having experimented with the most different types mastics, I can recommend you the simplest and most proven recipe. It's easier to just buy ready-made mastic in the shop!



Milk mastic

My favorite mastic is made from condensed milk. She has wonderful milky taste and she is very easy to work with. Mix 160 g of powdered milk with 160 g of powdered sugar and sift. Make a well in this dry mixture and gradually add 200 g of condensed milk and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Knead the mastic until smooth and wrap in a film. It can be painted with gel dyes in any color, and then covered with rolled mastic Easter cake, and also make decorations.

Do-it-yourself traditional decorations for Easter cakes


Decorating Easter cakes for Easter is the stage of preparation for the holiday that children love so much. And if the preparation of glaze or mastic is too complicated and troublesome for a child, then laying out patterns from edible colored sprinkles, marmalade and sweets is perfect for kids. Open the bag of sprinkles, cut the marmalade, spread the cake with icing or honey and show your child how to decorate the Easter cake with their own hands. As a result, all of them will be decorated with touching children's patterns.

Decorating Easter cakes for Easter is an interesting and exciting activity!

To make the Easter cake lush, tall and truly festive, we will prepare the following ingredients:

  • 1 glass of milk;
  • 5 pieces. chicken eggs;
  • 175 g butter;
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 0.5 tsp. ground cinnamon and nutmeg;
  • 150 g candied fruits or raisins;
  • 4 cups flour;
  • 50 g fresh yeast;
  • 150 g vegetable oil.

Then we set the multicooker regulator to “heating” and leave it for 5 minutes. At this time, we prepare the mixture for dough: in warm milk (about 45 ° C), dissolve the yeast, 1 tbsp. l. granulated sugar and 4 tbsp. l. flour. Pour into the bowl of the device and leave until a thick foam appears.

While the dough is rising, prepare the dough for baking Easter cakes. Separate the yolks from the whites and beat them with sugar. Proteins need to be transferred to an airtight container and placed in cool place. We will need them to decorate baking.

Add the melted butter to the yolk mixture one tablespoon at a time, mix well. We introduce salt, nutmeg powder and cinnamon. The basis for the dough is ready, we shift it into a wide container and combine it with the dough that has come up. Then add wheat flour to the mass, mixing well with each serving. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, you need to put a bowl of vegetable oil next to the bowl and moisten your fingers in it as needed.

In the process of cooking, add raisins or candied fruits to the substance. Well-kneaded dough for Easter cake should have a uniform consistency and a pleasant even color.

The next step is loading the dough into the multicooker. Here you can use 2 options: bake one large cake or several small ones. From this amount of dough in a device with a standard bowl volume of 4.5 liters, 5 small cakes can be obtained. Mistresses recommend pre-preparing paper cups, in which pieces of dough will be placed.

We divide the substance into 5 equal parts, put each in a glass, set it in the multicooker bowl. We transfer the device to the "baking" mode at 180 ° C. If it is decided to bake one large cake, grease the bowl with vegetable oil and transfer all the dough into it without a trace. But do not forget to make sure that the dough does not exceed the volume of ½ bowl, otherwise the top of the risen Easter cake will stick to the multicooker lid.

It takes about 100 minutes to make Easter cakes in the appliance. It is not necessary to turn the product.
