Many do not even suspect that with the help of improvised materials you can decorate and decorate your pastries - pies, cakes - very beautifully and in an original way. We share this useful information with you.

How beautiful to arrange and decorate pies and cakes?!!!

one . Often a mesh (lattice) of dough is laid out on top of pies, thanks to which you can see a beautiful filling and at the same time prevent the filling from escaping from the pie. Laying out such a grid is not difficult, the main thing is to catch the meaning -

The dough must be divided into two parts (large and smaller), most roll out and lay out the base for the pie. The smaller part is also rolled out and cut into strips (you can use a special knife with a wavy cutting part), and then lay out the strips vertically at a distance from each other, then after one lift the strips to the middle (put them on top of each other). Lay one strip horizontally and cover with those strips that you raised, now lift the vertical strips again through one, but those that you didn’t touch the first time, lay out one horizontal strip again and cover with the raised vertical ones. In the same way, continue to lay out on the other side (on the second half). Secure the edges of the strip with the base of the dough.

2. The edges of the base of the pie can be decorated in different ways - these can be various cut out figures laid out along the edges in the original sequence. You can also make various patterns with a spoon or fork, pressing down the edges of the dough with appliances.
The dough can be cut and wrapped to your choice in any direction. By pressing with your fingers, you can make wavy or triangular edges.

3 . With the help of cookie cutters or possibly carved figures, it is possible to lay out entire flower meadows, starry skies, etc. on your cake.

4 . Originally weave a braid from the dough and also place it along the edges of the pie, or cover the entire pie with it. To do this, roll out the dough evenly and cut into strips (the thinner the strips, the thinner the braid).

five . Beautifully, also using two parts of the dough, lay out the first as a base, and cut out various figures on the rolled out second (stepping back from the edges) and cover the pie filling with it. Fasten the edges accordingly.

6. And in the end, we want to add that after complete registration, the dough must be smeared with egg, whipped whisk, yolk. Thanks to this, the color of the cake during baking will be a beautiful golden color. A slightly noticeable crispy crust is also formed.

Have fun experimenting in your kitchen!

What could be better than home baking? One bad luck - not every housewife knows how to decorate homemade cakes so that in beauty and accuracy they are in no way inferior to factory copies.

We bring to your attention several options for decorating a homemade cake.

classic basket

This is a very simple, affordable decoration option that even a novice cook can handle. The main thing is not to get confused. And here is a step-by-step photo instruction on how to make weaving a “basket” for a pie.

dough spiral

Here is another simple but very effective way to decorate a cake - a dough spiral. Your guests will be delighted and will not even guess that this work of culinary art is done in a matter of minutes.

curly edges

If you have an open cake or want to make beautiful edges on pastries, then ordinary cutlery will come to the rescue - a spoon and fork, scissors can also come in handy!

Flower

From scraps and leftover dough, you can form a beautiful and catchy flower the size of the whole cake - it turns out very effectively!

spruce branches

By the way, not only a flower, but also a Christmas tree can be formed from scraps of dough. This method of decorating is easier and faster, but baking will not become less attractive from this.

pigtails

Weaving braids from dough and using them as decorative elements is an old and time-tested method. Beautiful, neat, simple and does not require special skills and tools. With a pigtail of dough, you can lay out both the edges and walk through the center of the cake.

All these decoration methods do not require special molds, knives and other culinary tools. What if you have some of them? Fortunately, now it is not difficult to get them, and the price is quite acceptable.

Autumn leaf fall

This cake looks very chic, as if it was made by an eminent confectioner. Meanwhile, everything is very simple - you need a baking mold in the form of a leaf.

Starfall

For convenience, place baking paper, gauze or tracing paper under the dough sheet, so as not to spoil the stars later.

honeycombs

Very original and beautiful design. You can use it as a special mold, make it from a tin, or squeeze the rounds with a tube from a felt-tip pen or marker.

However, if you do not have any special forms, but you want to impress your guests, then ordinary knitted napkins can come to the rescue! Just attach them to a thinly rolled sheet of dough and once again carefully walk with a rolling pin. The napkin will act as a stencil or stamp.

Lace

Here were some of the simplest and most effective ways to decorate a homemade pie, which even a novice hostess can do.

With these tools I make a lattice on pies.

I bought my little rolling pins in Riga at a Tupperware sale. The rolling pin is only 7 cm long.

But then I saw another, similar rock in the link below that I gave. It's 12 cm long, and of course I wanted another one, which is 12 cm. Like this.

First of all, we prepare yeast dough, although even a mastic cake can be covered with such a lattice.

They made the dough and sent it to rise. Personally, I put the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Then I take a baking dish and grease it with odorless sunflower oil.

And here my dough has already come up, so you can start baking a pie.

To do this, on the rug, I roll out the dough with a large rolling pin. My dough circle should be wider than the baking dish.

Then I take a round stick, it’s good if someone has a large rolling pin, and I wind the rolled dough on it.

Now I put a baking dish in front of me and start rolling out the dough. In these four photos you can clearly see how I roll out the dough.

Then I deepen, level the dough on the inside with a small rolling pin. But you can do this with your hands, the dough is very obedient and moves well around the dish.

I cut off the rest of the dough with a rolling pin.

You can clearly see the dough cuts here. From these scraps I will make our lattice.

I grease my pie with apple, homemade jam.

I roll out the scraps into such a rectangle.

And I cut it with a small curly rolling pin.

I wind my lattice on a stick and lift it up a little in order to see where my holes are stuck together. I immediately open the holes with the help of any improvised means, this is done very easily.

Then, just as with the dough, I begin to unwind my lattice and cover the pie with it.

The pie is covered. It remains only to make a decent view of the cake.

Trim off excess dough and set aside. Later, when we bake a cake, we put these trimmings on a baking sheet and just bake them, and then we eat them. They are very tasty.

Now we will stuff our ponytails so that they are not visible.

And then we will bend the edge of the pie, seal our hidden ponytails.

This is how my cake turned out. Now you can send it to the oven for baking.

It took quite a bit of time and I take out the finished pie. And here he is handsome!

Well, this piece to everyone who read this topic.

Bon Appetit.

Now for the memory test. Who and how remembered the previous description. I will show you a photo of another such pie, only with apples, and you remember what should be written under each photo. Good luck.

The cake was sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.

Please yourself and loved ones with such beauty. Keep in mind that the more beautiful it will be

Greetings, dear visitors! Recently, I visited the FixPrice store for the first time and became the owner of many useful little things. Among them was this roller for cutting dough with a lattice. These rollers come in different colors, I chose yellow.

The device is well made of high quality plastic, fits comfortably in the hand. When using, I recommend flouring the dough, the cutting board and the roller itself, when rolling the dough, press on the handle and make sure that the holes cut through.

After cutting, the dough plate must be stretched by hand to the required width and thus we get a lattice of dough.

Such a lattice can decorate a large cake or small pies.

For the first time I cooked open puff pastry products and not everything turned out as planned, but the main thing is quick and tasty! Next time it will be better. It is necessary to roll out the dough and lay it in a mold with sides so that the filling does not leak out. Lay the lattice on the base, decorate the edges with strips of dough and grease with a beaten egg for better adhesion and beauty (I did not grease).

Once I made pies, there was a little rich yeast-free dough left. I decided to fry it in a pan like a cake, but not a simple one, but a grill. Here's what happened - original and tasty!
