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, excess can remain until next year. Making your own powder is also easy. This will require food paint and 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.
Glaze. Decorating Easter cakes with icing is a very common way to give them a festive, beautiful view. 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, one teaspoon at a time, introduce the sifted mixture through a sieve. powdered sugar. 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, multi-colored confectionery beads. Again, you can make the letters “XB” from the fruits. Or you can just write these letters with icing. There are many options. Kulich - holiday treat, so use your imagination! Often on a ready-made Easter cake to give it appetizing shine Apply the yolk and sprinkle 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 on 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 plastic bag, and the package into a sealed 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 start, using food colorings, 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. From 3-4 green balls (you can different sizes) form “carrots”. 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 you can place painted eggs around the perimeter (we’ll 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, chopped orange slices. Place a cake decorated in the same style on the resulting fruit base: fresh fruit on top of the glaze.
Easter icing and decorative sprinkles
But they came up with it modern way Easter cake decorations, although in reality Easter icing- this is the same sugar, only in the form of powder, with the addition citric acid and starch (for better whipping and thickening). Add to powdered glaze egg white and beat with a mixer, it whips quickly and hardens better than just whites with 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.
Also, beaded beads decorated with sugar figurines from mastic - for example, with such 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! Set includes three pencils 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 the top of the cake before baking or glued onto an already baked cake using raw protein. 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, to give it a beautiful look, brush the top with beaten egg or vegetable oil. But this is optional. Then, after baking, you can pour the top of the cake sugar syrup 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 quite happy with the decorations being crispy. golden crust and the same color as the whole Easter 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. Finished decorations placed on the hot surface of the baked Easter cake. Since they turn out to be very thin in comparison with jewelry made from yeast dough, then 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.
Mk roses
These are blanks for spikelets: 
This is how you need to cut them with scissors: 
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: 
The traditional Easter recipe also includes making egg white glaze. But if you want something unusual, we suggest making a thematic drawing or inscription on top of the glaze. To create such a masterpiece, you will only need food coloring, brushes and a little imagination.

For example, let’s prepare a dough decoration in the form of the letters “XB”. We use the same dough as for the Easter cake.

We grease the cake itself with the same yolk. After the cake with letters is baked, you can decorate it to your taste - sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar and leave the letters untouched, or vice versa - sprinkle the letters, but not the cake. The cake will also look beautiful if the letters on it are poured with chocolate icing or decorated with confectionery powder.
