Icing recipes for Easter cakes. Features and secrets of cooking

04.08.2019 Grill menu

A lot of recipes have already been written. But in addition to white delicacy, colored glazing is also quite common. One that can be used not only for Easter bread, but also for all kinds of cakes, muffins and pastries on any other holidays and quite ordinary ones.

Just to please all sorts of goodies of their household.

Interestingly, the main ingredient of this sweet decoration can be not only proteins, gelatin and powdered sugar. Great taste and a beautiful smooth baking surface can be achieved with chocolate, egg yolks, lemon, starch and even cheese!

Don't believe! But in vain! Both the taste and color of such a product are quite saturated without any dyes and flavorings!

Somehow it is already customary that the glaze is prepared mainly on proteins. But quite an interesting and tasty option is obtained from the yolks.

And what is remarkable, if you cook it from store-bought eggs, then it turns out to be almost white. But if eggs from a domestic chicken with bright yellow yolks, then the coating will acquire a delicate, orange-lemon shade.


We will need:

  • Chicken egg - 2 pcs.
  • Sugar - ½ cup.
  • Powdered sugar - ½ cup.
  • Water - 2 tbsp. l.

Cooking:

1. First you need to get the eggs out of the refrigerator so that they get to room temperature. Then carefully separate the yolks from the whites using a special device, an egg separator. Or just carefully pour from shell to shell in the old "old-fashioned" way.


In order to get a great coating, it is best to use fresh eggs that are no more than a week old. Then it is much easier to separate the proteins from the yolks, and the necessary consistency of the finished sweetness is obtained much faster.

2. Pour sugar into the pan. Then add water there and mix well so that all the sugar becomes “wet”.

Put on a slow fire, and stirring constantly, achieve its complete dissolution and obtain a transparent homogeneous syrup. Turn off the heat immediately and allow a little time for the mixture to cool down.

It is important that during further manipulations during the preparation of the product, the yolks are not brewed in the syrup. While it's cooling, let's prepare the other ingredients.


3. To obtain a more delicate consistency of the finished mixture, powdered sugar must first be sifted through a strainer. This must be done in order to give her the opportunity to get enough air during this.


4. Combine the sifted powder with the yolks and beat the mixture well with a mixer. Beat until a beautiful, fluffy egg foam is formed. This should be done without delay, because the syrup will not wait, it also cools down quickly enough.


5. As soon as the sugar liquid has cooled to 40 degrees, we introduce the whipped yolk mixture into it in small parts. And stir quickly.

You can do this with a mixer. In this case, a beautiful and slightly viscous glaze is formed much faster.


6. Do not pull for a long time and wait for our coating to harden. It is best, as soon as it is cooked, immediately start decorating the finished baking.


Just do not forget that the muffin must already be cooled down, otherwise the smooth “cap” may slip off it.

Here is such an interesting recipe. I like him. And you try to cook on it. I think that he will not leave you indifferent.

Video on how to make gelatin icing that does not crumble or stick

I have already brought this recipe to your attention on this topic. But he is so good that you can not ignore him here.

And it should be noted that you can cook our decoration on it without eggs at all. You will probably be surprised and say that this is impossible. So it's possible, and how. For cooking, we will need gelatin.

In my opinion this recipe is amazing. And there are practically no worries with him. Everything is quick and easy, like twice two. This icing can be prepared for any other baking.

And since today we are more considering its preparation in color versions, then of course this yummy can be obtained in any color with the addition of additional natural ingredients.

Chocolate fudge made from powdered sugar and starch without eggs

A beautiful chocolate fondant can be quickly made from dark chocolate. But much more interesting, it turns out cooked using cocoa powder. In addition, it is also much more tender, even in color, even in taste.

In fact, the result of the recipe for making such a fudge resembles a hand-made chocolate paste.


We will need:

  • Powdered sugar - 1 cup.
  • Milk - 2 tbsp. l.
  • Butter - 1 tbsp. l.
  • Cocoa powder - 2 tsp
  • Starch - 1 tsp

Cooking:

1. First you need to melt the butter. This can be done in several ways:

  • just let it lie in an iron cup on the table at room temperature
  • put in the microwave
  • pour boiling water into a plate and put a cup of oil in it

In this case, it is not at all necessary to melt it to a liquid state. Just enough to make it very soft and pliable.

Let me remind you that it is better to have oil with a fat content of 82.5%.


2. Sift through a strainer into a cup with soft butter all loose ingredients: cocoa powder, powdered sugar and starch. And mix everything well until a homogeneous consistency.


3. Warm the milk just above room temperature (at least 30 degrees), and pour it into the buttery brown mixture in two passes. Being careful not to spill, mix until smooth.

Why exactly warm milk, and why should the butter be exactly warm?

And the answer is very simple. In order for the ingredients to be easily and simply combined, and for free-flowing components to not form lumps when mixed.


If you wish, then at this moment you can also add a spoonful of cognac, liqueur or condensed milk to give the fudge a little piquancy and amazing aroma.

4. Now the mixture needs to be simmered a little so that it thickens slightly, and begins to resemble liquid chocolate paste. But it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

You can also independently adjust the density during cooking: adding a little milk, you can get a slightly liquid mixture, but adding powder, on the contrary, will help to slightly thicken it.


If instead of cocoa powder, add 100 grams of melted bitter or white chocolate to this recipe, you will get an amazingly delicious chocolate-based fudge.

So experiment, and end up with a delicious product.

Butter White Chocolate Recipe

The preparation of coatings with chocolate is very popular not only for Easter cakes, but also for biscuit cakes, and even cakes of the "Bird's milk" type. You can, of course, use the previous recipe and the advice at the end of it, but this option is still different from the previous one.

The result of cooking gives a glossier and shiny glaze surface. And when you add food coloring to the recipe, you can get it in any desired color.


We will need:

  • Powdered sugar - 1 cup.
  • White chocolate - 100 gr.
  • Butter - 1.5 tbsp. l.
  • Water - 4 tbsp. l.
  • Lemon juice - 1 tbsp. l.

Cooking:

1. Pour powdered sugar into a small saucepan, add water and lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients with a spoon, then put on a small fire. With constant stirring, boil the resulting sweet liquid by 1/4 of the volume (it should turn out ¾ of the syrup). Then cool a little.


1 st. l. lemon juice can be replaced with lemon water. To do this, it is enough to take citric acid in the amount of ¼ tsp. and mix it with one tablespoon of water.

2. At the same time, melt white chocolate with butter in a water bath. This can be done right away in one cup. After they are melted, we still need to gently mix them until a homogeneous consistency.


3. Allow the sugar syrup to cool slightly, then, with constant stirring, pour in the buttery chocolate mass in a thin stream. Beat it well with a whisk until you get a beautiful, delicate and slightly stretchy glaze.


4. So that it does not have time to harden and turn into a thick paste, it is immediately advisable to use a culinary spatula and apply it to the cooled pastries.


The sweet fudge-like mixture adheres well to the surface and is delicious. As I said above, if desired, it can be tinted with food coloring of any color.

The Perfect Starch-Based Egg-Free Recipe

Remember glazed gingerbread, like in childhood? They were insanely tasty and at the same time translucent tasty coating. We ate it first thing, just gnawing it.

It was a really perfect coating, which always lay evenly on the gingerbread, did not drain and never stick to hands after it hardened on baking.

Now it's time to remember this noteworthy recipe! And although eggs (in particular proteins) did not participate at all during the preparation, the fudge still turned out to be “glossy”. And she always looked quite original, even on Easter muffins, even on the same gingerbread, and even shortbread cakes.


We will need:

  • Starch - 10 gr.
  • Milk - 4 tsp
  • Odorless sunflower oil - 1 tsp.
  • Powdered sugar - 150 gr.

Cooking:

1. Sift the loose components (starch with powdered sugar) into a cup, and mix them well with each other with the usual stirring with a tablespoon or spatula. What will be more familiar and comfortable for you.


2. Pour in warm milk (you can just let it warm to room temperature, pulling it out of the refrigerator in advance) and mix thoroughly to get a uniform consistency.


3. Add sunflower oil and again mix all the ingredients well so that they do not delaminate, and a homogeneous plastic mixture is obtained.

You won't need to beat this for a long time. Just good mixing is enough to get a thick consistency that will drain slowly enough on a spoon.


4. After cooking, apply the icing evenly on the pastries, and leave it to “harden” for about 20-40 minutes. Then you can serve it to the table, or close Easter cakes to each other. They will no longer be afraid to stick to each other.

Bon Appetit!

The easiest lemon frosting recipe

Although the lemon coating usually turns out to be an opaque white color, it still looks like a slightly yellowish under the light angle. It also has a lemon scent. And his taste, though sweet, but still with a gentle sourness.

If you want to get a bright yellow color of such a glaze, then you can add a little yellow dye to the mixture, or orange juice.

There are quite a few different recipes for lemon sweetness, but my household loves it, cooked exactly according to the old recipe. Our family has been using it for many years.

It contains only two ingredients, but this does not prevent you from enjoying its taste and pleasing your eyes! And very often I glaze cupcakes, cookies and even sweet pies with her. I use it to give sweet pastries this unique sourness.


We will need:

  • Lemon juice - 3 tbsp. l.
  • Powdered sugar - 150 gr.

Cooking:

1. First you need to saturate the powder with oxygen and rid it of lumps by sifting through a strainer. This procedure is mandatory and should not be skipped.


The more magnificent the powder, the more airy and gentle the mixture is.

2. Pour lemon juice in small portions with constant stirring. You can do this with such “shuffling” or “rubbing” movements so that the juice penetrates well and evenly into the powdered sugar.

Just at this step, you can adjust the consistency: a little more juice - and the glaze is a little thinner, a little less - and it becomes a little thicker.


In this case, you should not use a mixer for mixing and whipping. Because of this, the powdered sugar can quickly crystallize and the coating will quickly crumble!

3. Beat the powder with lemon well until smooth. It is desirable to achieve a state where the mass will turn out to be slightly white and opaque, while a slight yellowish tint will be displayed.

You will also notice that the finished product becomes shiny almost immediately.


4. Dip the cooled pastries into the resulting mixture and let it dry a little.


If it turned out to be slightly watery, then you can get beautiful streaks on baking.

Delicate glaze of curd cheese and powdered sugar

Many people love curd cream in cakes and pastries. And you can make a magnificent tender glaze with curd cheese, which the sweet tooth will eat first. Moreover, if you put it on a still slightly warm Easter cake, then it will be slightly saturated with this cheese cream and become unusually tasty!


We will need:

  • Curd cheese soft - 250g.
  • Powdered sugar - 250 gr.
  • Butter - 70 gr.
  • Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Cooking:

1. Beat warm butter well until creamy. It is better to do this with a mixer at low speed. In this state, the butter will be able to combine with the cheese more easily, since it will be almost the same consistency.


2. Put tender curd cheese into whipped butter. Philadelphia or its analogues are best suited. Turn on the mixer again and beat the cheese together with the butter so that they mix well with each other.


3. You can sift the powder on the cheese oily mixture, right on top, and again beat everything until smooth with a mixer at the lowest speed. The powder in this case will not scatter from the cup.

As soon as a beautiful shine and airy steady peaks appear, the glaze is completely ready.


4. It is advisable to immediately coat Easter bread with it and let it dry for half an hour.


Look what a beauty! Delicious, beyond words! Connoisseurs of cheese products will understand what is at stake.

2. Pour milk in a thin stream with constant stirring and mix it well with butter.


3. Pour brown sugar in small portions, and completely dissolve it. At the same time, make sure that the grains of sugar do not lie on the bottom and do not burn - otherwise the smell of burnt sugar may appear. The end result is a sweet syrup.


4. Stirring constantly, let the liquid boil and reduce it a little for two minutes. Then turn off the heat and put the saucepan on the hot stand on the table.


5. Divide the pre-sifted powder approximately in half. Pour one half first, while constantly stirring the mass. You can beat well with a mixer or a whisk, and then cool the resulting slightly thickened liquid to 40 degrees.


6. While stirring the cooled sugar-cream mixture, add the remaining half of the powder and vanilla sugar.

Beat with a mixer until a stable thick consistency appears. This will be the finished icing with a taste, as in those very delicious milk candies.


7. Using a culinary spatula, coat pastries or Easter cakes and let them stand for about 20-30 minutes so that the coating dries.


Looks delicious, doesn't it!

The photo shows what color can still be obtained to decorate the top of the products. This color can be achieved using natural or food coloring. You can tint the mixture with carrot or beet juice, spinach juice. We talked a lot about natural dyes!

How to make icing for cake

Cooks know 4 main types of homemade glaze: protein, chocolate, milk and sugar. But basic recipes can be improved by adding food colors and flavors.

  3. Dairy. It is brewed from milk, powder and butter. When solidified, it remains soft and slightly moist, which many people like.

Secrets of the perfect icing for Easter cake

In order not to spoil the holiday, get acquainted with some of the nuances of cooking Easter icing on Easter cakes.

  • Apply icing to a cold cake, unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
  • First bake the Easter cakes, and then cook the glaze, as it dries quickly.
  • I recommend sifting powdered sugar, removing grains, they look messy in the finished fudge and spoil the festive mood.
  • Take the time to knead and whip the mass - the surface of the cake should be perfectly smooth.
  • Decorate pastries not only on top - apply patterns on the sides, the cake will look charming and original. To do this, lay it on its side, draw a pattern and let it dry. Then flip over to the other side.

How to decorate Easter cakes:

Ready-made topping is too boring. Decorate Easter cakes with candied fruits, coconut shavings, chocolate pieces or grains, chopped nuts, marmalade pieces, dried fruits.

Paint white frosting

Easter is a bright and joyful holiday. I propose to color the traditional white icing at home, making Easter cakes bright and elegant. Food coloring of different colors will help here. Do not want to use synthetic dyes - use natural juices.

You can make fudge according to the number of all Easter cakes, and then divide it into bowls and add a certain dye to each.

I advise you to start with a small amount, filling up first on the tip of a spoon. After stirring, the color can be made more saturated by adding a little more. From myself I recommend not to overdo it with paint. I know from experience that Easter cakes of a delicate color look the most advantageous.

Video recipe with icing sugar recipes for Easter cakes. Have a nice and unforgettable holiday!

Easter cake icing is the main decoration of Easter. And since the preparations for the Easter holiday are in full swing, the housewives have probably already managed to think about how to decorate pastries at home.

There are many ways to make icing for Easter cake: this is lemon, and protein fudge, and even chocolate. We offer several recipes, and it’s up to you to decide whether you cook something specific, or use several options at once.

The classic version of the icing recipe for Easter cake includes the following ingredients:

  • eggs, preferably chicken - 2 pcs.;
  • sugar, can be ordinary, or cane - 1 tbsp.;
  • salt - a pinch is enough.

We take chilled eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. We do this as carefully as possible - so that not a single drop of the yolk gets into the bowl with the proteins. Next, to prepare the sugar icing for the Easter cake, we begin to beat the eggs with a mixer with the addition of salt so that the foam is thicker and more fluffy.

When the foam in the sugar fudge for Easter cake has become as lush as possible, we begin to add sugar in small portions. Continue whisking until all the sugar has gone into the icing and has dissolved.

We spread the mass on Easter cake (necessarily cooled down) and sprinkle confectionery decorations on top until it has cooled down. If necessary, the icing applied to pastries can be dried.

Protein fudge

Another option for fondant with eggs is white icing for Easter cake. This recipe calls for powdered sugar. So, you will need:

  • icing sugar (you can grind regular granulated sugar) - 1 tbsp.;
  • egg white - 1 pc.;
  • fresh lemon juice - 1 tsp;
  • table salt - a pinch will be enough.

For the preparation of protein glaze, you will not need the whole egg, namely the egg whites. Therefore, first carefully separate the whites from the yolks, as in the previous recipe. Whisk the protein thus obtained for protein glaze for Easter cake for several minutes with a pinch of salt until a thick foam is obtained. It is important that the protein is chilled.

When the foam becomes thick and starts to hold its shape, you can add powdered sugar. It is necessary to use powdered sugar, as it dissolves without lumps. Of course, regular sugar can also be used, but then you need to make sure that it dissolves completely and does not settle to the bottom, since sugar is heavier.

Lastly, we introduce lemon juice into the protein glaze for Easter cake in parts. At the same time, you need to continue to beat the fondant for the Easter cake with a mixer until it turns out to be homogeneous in consistency. As a result, lemon juice will make the icing for Easter cake itself dense, and thanks to citrus, pastries will acquire a pleasant taste.

By the way, not many people know that other juice can be used in the same way for Easter cake fudge - for example, pomegranate, pineapple, orange or even cherry. Depending on what taste you want to end up with. In addition, this lemon icing for Easter cake will help make the sweet taste less cloying.

Based on lemon juice

Delicious icing for Easter cake is obtained on the basis of lemon. To make it, you need a minimum amount of ingredients. The result is a white icing for Easter cake - moderately sour, but very fragrant. And the method of preparing it is very simple and does not take much time.

To make lemon curd frosting you will need:

  • lemon or other citrus juice - 2 tbsp. l.;
  • sugar, but ideally powdered sugar - 100 g.

The preparation of delicious glaze without eggs is as follows:

  1. We take powdered sugar and sift it so that there are no lumps in it.
  2. Gradually add lemon juice to powdered sugar. After each addition of juice, grind it with powder. When homemade icing for Easter cakes becomes opaque and glossy, it is ready.

If, as a result of cooking, the icing for the Easter cake has become too thick, it can be diluted with a little water or the same lemon juice. The mass is applied to hot cakes.

Sugar icing without eggs

A feature of the fudge recipe is the fact that it is applied to a cold cake. But there is another advantage as well. Homemade icing for Easter cakes without eggs is completely safe, since you do not need to beat raw eggs.

For cooking you will need:

  • powdered sugar or sand - 200 g;
  • milk, which can be replaced with cream - 40 ml.

Boil milk. Pour the milk that has not yet cooled down into the powder and mix it until a thick mass. Moreover, the more powder you take, the more glaze you will end up with. And the milk must be poured in gradually so as not to pour too much and so that the icing for the Easter cake from powdered sugar does not turn out to be too liquid.

chocolate fondant

An ideal option for decorating Easter is chocolate soft icing for Easter cake. You can cook it without eggs, which is an additional plus. For the frosting recipe you will need:

  • any chocolate bar, dark can be - 90 g;
  • orange juice, which can be replaced with lemon, pineapple or any other - 3 tbsp. l.;

Very tasty and tender is the icing for hot Easter cakes from toffee and milk. To prepare it, we need:

  • candy Russian "Iriski" (preferably harder) - 200 g;
  • coconut oil - 40 g;
  • milk, easily replaced by cream - ¼ tbsp. l.;
  • regular sugar or powdered sugar - 2 tbsp. l.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt milk with butter, bring to a boil and reduce. Slowly introduce powder here and add toffee. Cook all the ingredients until the mass becomes homogeneous. Put on cake. This preparation of fondant will take a little longer, but this is an icing for an Easter cake that does not crumble.

To make this unique fudge you will need:

Cool the sugar mass to 60 degrees. Add gelatin to it and beat thoroughly with a mixer until the icing for Easter cakes on gelatin becomes lush and white.

  • chicken egg - 1 pc.;
  • powdered sugar (if it is not, then you can replace it with sand) - 3/4 tbsp.;
  • juice from berries or concentrated fruit compote - ¼ tbsp.

To prepare, you need to beat the protein for several minutes, introducing the powder in parts. Then, little by little, introduce fruit juice for color and taste, without turning off the mixer. Put the finished mass on the cake.

  • regular sugar - 2/3 tbsp.;
