Easter is one of the brightest Christian holidays of the year. It is preceded by Great Lent, which contributes to the spiritual and physical purification of the Christian. The last day of Lent is Holy Saturday. And from midnight of the Bright Resurrection of Christ, Christians can already eat various festive dishes. But before you eat them, you need to cook them. The dishes are festive - they should be not only tasty, but also beautiful. Especially beautiful! "Culinary Eden" has prepared for you material on what and how to cook for Easter, how to decorate Easter dishes. It seems that it will be of interest not only to believers.

kulich

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

Let's start with the familiar cake. It is rich high cylindrical bread, decorated with symbolic inscriptions, icing, poppy seeds, raisins. You can bake it yourself or buy it. Moreover, in stores they sell both already decorated Easter cakes and simple ones that you can decorate yourself. There are Easter cake recipes 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 "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.

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 mashed cottage cheese. Butter, sour cream or cream, eggs and sugar are added to it. Curd Easter was 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 frequently than, for example, Easter cakes. If you still get together, know that you need to cook Easter on Maundy Thursday.

Easter royal

Ingredients:
1 kg of fresh, well-pressed cottage cheese,
2-3 cups of granulated sugar,
5 eggs
200 g butter,
2 cups sour cream
1 sachet of vanilla
light pitted raisins, almonds to taste.

Cooking
Wipe cottage cheese and butter through a sieve, add sour cream, mix thoroughly, put the dishes on the stove and bring the mass to a boil while stirring continuously with a wooden spatula so that the mass does not burn. Immediately, 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 a pasochnik (form for Easter, sold in stores), knead the mass tightly, put a saucer on top, a small load and refrigerate 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, chocolate chips. You can mold figurines from culinary mastic corresponding to the holiday, use waffle flowers for decoration. Easter and Easter cakes can still be decorated with red candles.

Easter eggs

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

There are several "folk" ways of coloring eggs. For example, in onion skins, in 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 paint eggs. For example, use thermal labels. They are sold in stores. Simply put the label on the already boiled egg and place it in a bowl of hot water. An effective pattern is guaranteed! There is an even simpler way - special stickers with an Easter theme. They are also sold on every corner on the eve of the holiday. You can also use special food coloring. However, there is one “but” - such decorations cannot be called original.

If the 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 are exchanged, congratulating each other on the Bright Resurrection of Christ. So make a gift with soul for relatives and friends!

First of all, the eggs must be boiled. Then cool them, wipe with a cotton cloth. Gouache or acrylic paints are great for coloring eggs. Of course, the most relevant topic is Easter. You can paint eggs with various ornaments, colors, patterns. Write wishes to relatives and friends. We repeat - turn on the fantasy! 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 just do not 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. It seems that close people will appreciate your work and will be happy with such a gift (a painted egg), even if something somewhere is drawn crookedly.

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

Another great and easy way to color Easter eggs and give them an original look: plant leaves. For example, - decorative room.

Everything is simple. Take eggs. If you will get the main color with the help of food coloring, then boil them first. If the color base will be obtained through, for example, onion peel, you can not boil it in advance. In any case, you will need a clean nylon stocking to implement your plan. Put an Easter egg in it, and carefully place a leaf of a plant on the egg. Then secure the stocking with a 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, put the stocking with “semi-finished products” in a saucepan where food coloring is pre-diluted or in a saucepan with onion peel. Cook a little. By the way, if you use onion peel for coloring, the decor in this case will turn out to be especially spectacular. It will look very natural, natural, even eco-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, in addition to colored eggs and Easter cakes, Easter gifts can also serve as various chocolate sets on Easter themes, edible figurines of chickens, cockerels, rabbits and bunnies. Good holiday to you!

In our today's master class, we will prepare a delicate and fragrant milk fudge, and then decorate the cake with this sweet mass. The finished fondant is simply poured onto the cooled cake and after a short time it hardens a little - just enough to keep its beautiful shape and taste.

Ingredients needed for Easter cake decorating tutorial:

powdered sugar - 1 cup
milk - 2 tbsp. l.

The procedure for preparing milk fudge as decoration for Easter cake:

First, sift the powdered sugar through a sieve into an enameled bowl or other convenient container for kneading the mass.
Milk for making fudge should be heated to 60 - 70 ° C - this should be done immediately before cooking.
We begin to introduce milk in portions into the sifted powder, about 0.5 tablespoons at a time. While adding milk, do not stop rubbing the sweet mixture - until a thick, smooth and homogeneous mass is obtained. When the fudge acquires these qualities, as well as fluidity, stop adding milk.
Ready milk fudge should be quickly applied to the cake. To do this, simply pour the mass on top - everything will spread over the top of the cake in the best way. If necessary, you can touch up the sweet "beauty" with a spoon or brush. When the milk fudge hardens, you get an excellent “hat” for Easter cake - making such a decoration with your own hands is as easy as shelling pears!

How to decorate Easter cakes with mastic flowers - an interesting master class

Culinary mastic is a viscous plastic material for the manufacture of "edible" decorative elements. So, mastic decorations perfectly take the desired shape and quickly harden after being processed by hand. As a result, real works of art are obtained - take at least the mastic cakes that are popular today, decorated with beautiful flowers, animal figures and even characters of children's cartoons. Of course, you can buy ready-made confectionery mastic at any grocery store. However, to decorate Easter cakes, it is better to make mastic with your own hands - let the warmth of your hands remain in the product! We have selected an interesting master class on how to decorate Easter cakes for Easter with mastic flowers - beautiful and delicious roses. With the help of our lesson, you will easily learn how to make amazing decorations from mastic for Easter cakes and other confectionery.

We stock up on ingredients for a master class on decorating Easter cakes with mastic for Easter:

powdered sugar - 250 gr.
powdered gelatin - 2 tsp.
water - 6 tsp.
glucose - 1 tsp.
food coloring in different colors

A step-by-step description of the master class on how to decorate an Easter cake with mastic:

Sift the icing sugar through a sieve into an enameled bowl. In another small container, set the gelatin to swell for 2 - 3 minutes, after adding water.
We place a container with swollen gelatin in a water bath and gently stir, waiting for complete dissolution. We add glucose to the gelatin - as a result, the liquid acquires some transparency.
We make a well in the sifted powder and pour the gelatin-glucose mixture into it. Stir and place the mastic in a plastic bag, and then in an airtight container. After 3 - 4 hours, various decorations can be made from mastic.
To make mastic roses, you need to tint part of the base material in different colors - red, green, pink, yellow. Do not forget to leave some white mastic, which we will need for the master class. It is better to store colored mastic in a plastic bag, taking out small portions for work - so the material will remain soft and plastic for a long time.
We take a piece of mastic and sculpt a "carrot", which we put on the work surface. Then we “pin off” portions of the colored mass and make identical balls - future rose petals. Sprinkle the table a little with powdered sugar and with the help of a teaspoon we begin to knead the ball, giving the shape of a petal. At the same time, we make one end of the petal thinner and wider (top) than the other (bottom). Then, from below, the petal must be moistened with water and wrapped around the "carrot" base, forming the middle of the flower.
Using a similar principle, we make a second petal, which we attach to the base in such a way as to hide the junction of the first petal. In total, 5-6 petals need to be made and attached to the “carrot”, slightly bending their upper parts - we imitate an “opened bud”.
We leave the finished mastic rose to dry for 5 to 6 hours. Then we roll the balls from the green mastic and with the help of our fingers we give each the shape of a leaf. To apply the "veins" we make shallow cuts with a knife and also leave to dry.
We collect the petals and leaves into bouquets of roses, and then decorate the Easter cake - in the form of mouth-watering flower compositions from mastic.
