Perhaps many will say that the preparation of icing for Easter cakes is already a minor detail. Of course, but you must agree that this is a very important point.
After all, the first glance decides everything, and the glaze can, how to decorate and refresh the product - to make the baked goods elegant, and to greatly spoil the appearance and overall impression.
In this article, you will find several ways to make your Easter cake frosting, as well as some ideas and tips for decorating the frosting.
How to prepare icing for cake? This question is asked by many culinary experts on the eve of Easter. The hostesses would like it not to stick, not to sprinkle, and most importantly, to be truly beautiful.
There are many solutions to this issue, but I am still a supporter of white glaze. It is she, in my opinion, that gives solemnity and beauty to baked goods, festive mood and freshness.
Therefore, we will consider the most successful recipes for snow icing for Easter cakes.
Very often, our mothers and grandmothers make icing according to the classic recipe, but it does not always turn out the way we expect to see it on Easter cakes.
It is very important to use powdered sugar in preparation, its amount is also strictly observed. For whiteness, it is better to add more powder, but not less.
It is difficult to achieve a good effect with a whisk, a mixer will solve this problem. It is with the help of it that the splendor and the necessary density of the glaze is achieved. Decorate Easter cakes with pleasure!
Add lemon juice to the protein
Gently mix the whites and powder with a whisk
We add all the powder according to the recipe in parts, each time mixing it with the main mixture
The mixer will help to make the glaze more snow-white and dense
Immediately apply the glaze with a pastry brush on the cakes until it has frozen
The glaze turns out to be very beautiful, dense and elastic
Besides, it is shiny, it turns out to be enough for decoration.
Enjoy your meal!
I bring to your attention a very successful recipe - icing for cakes in a water bath. It turns out to be glossy, snow-white and very beautiful.
In addition, this glaze meets all the requirements of housewives, and has decent properties that can truly decorate baked goods.
We mix proteins and sugar in a metal bowl using a whisk
We constantly try with our finger the degree of heating of the proteins, not allowing them to cook
If the mixture is very hot, then we lift the dishes from the bath, continuing to work with a whisk
The protein mass should increase in volume, become white and stringy
After 5-6 minutes in a water bath, remove the glaze from it and continue to beat it intensively
The glaze should smoothly stretch from the rim, lie down in small waves
So, our icing is ready - snowy, beautiful and glossy, we immediately decorate our Easter cakes
You can dip the cake directly into the icing by twisting it in it, and then make drips with a spoon.
You can also put the glaze in a pastry bag, and use it to generously decorate baked goods with glaze.
Sprinkle with pastry sprinkles, let the cakes stand until the icing is completely frozen
Enjoy your meal!
The recipe for frosting on gelatin is one of the most successful options for making frosting. It does not break or crumble, retains color and shape. In a word, all the desires of the housewives are fulfilled simultaneously.
Pour gelatin with 1 tablespoon of hot water 45-50 degrees (not boiling water)
We actively mix it with hot water so that it dissolves in it
Put sugar and 2 tablespoons of water in a saucepan on the fire
When the sugar is completely dissolved, add the diluted gelatin, stir and remove the saucepan from the heat
The gelatin mixture should not boil!
Pour the mixture into a convenient bowl and let it cool for 5-7 minutes
Here is what a beautiful and thick glaze we got.
Immediately apply it to the cakes with a spatula or pastry brush
And without delay, decorate with pastry sprinkles or zest
The glaze turned out to be snowy and elastic, it does not crumble or break, it will retain its appearance and shape
So that the icing on the gelatin does not quickly freeze, place the bowl with the ready-made icing on a pot of boiling water and calmly decorate the cakes!
Enjoy your meal!
Before preparing the icing, you need to decide on the decorations for the cakes and prepare the details. The glaze quickly hardens, and therefore do not hesitate to decorate it. The surface, at your request, is decorated with crosses and symbols "ХВ", meaning the resurrection of Christ.
It is very difficult to imagine all the variety of confectionery dressings offered to customers in stores - various shapes are reflected in all the colors of the rainbow
This is the easiest way to decorate Easter cakes, and you just have to choose the texture, color and size.
Agree that bright candied fruits will look very worthy on snow-white glaze
Nuts and dried fruits to help you! It is so natural and simple, but it looks very elegant and impressive.
We celebrate Easter in the spring, which means that the theme of decorations in the form of flowers and green leaves is very relevant.
In stores, you can easily find a lot of ready-made flowers of different shapes and sizes for every taste.
Another very unusual way to decorate glaze is by applying glaze patterns on its surface.
You can add dye to it or make it contrastingly snowy, put it in a pastry bag and create
Beautiful stains and strokes are made with a toothpick and tinted glaze on a fresh surface that has not yet hardened, stains and patterns are also applied with chocolate and boiled condensed milk
Probably one of the most difficult surface decorations for already frozen glaze is the artistic drawing, which the masters turned into real art.
Drawings are made with special food paints, diluted in the desired concentration
I hope that these ideas helped you decide on the choice of jewelry, you wanted to create and try yourself in something new, new interesting ideas have appeared. I wish you creative success - bring everything you have conceived to life!

The icing on the Easter cake is not just a decoration, it has its own meaning. It symbolizes the pure thoughts of people, renewal, purification and the beginning of a new life, which is why its color was always snow-white.
But times change and traditions too, because eggs are painted not only in red and the glaze can be not only white. And they try to decorate even white glaze with multi-colored powder and other various decorations. Which, in my opinion, is not bad, because this is a festive pastry and it should be very beautiful.
And so you want your efforts not to crumble from the touch of a knife, so the hostesses are always in search of that very delicious glaze that does not crumble and does not stick.
Perhaps the most popular glaze is protein glaze, icing, as it is also called. And this name came to us from England, like the glaze itself. Confectioners of monarchs decorated cakes and other confectionery with icing, which is probably why they are considered “royal icing”.
It needs a minimum of ingredients, it is not difficult to prepare, but there are some subtleties.

How to do it right - step by step description and tips:
Advice! To get the glaze, make sure that the dishes with which you will be working are completely dry.
In the air, the glaze hardens rather quickly, so it must either be prepared immediately before applying to Easter cakes, or kept in a tightly sealed container.
Advice! Decorating, of course, you need fresh baked goods, but before applying the icing, the cakes must be cooled. And there is no need to rush in this matter and arrange drafts. The cooling process should take place naturally.
Glaze can be colored by adding food coloring. It can be used not only for Easter cakes, but also for decorating cakes, muffins, gingerbread, cookies.
By adding more powdered sugar, you will get a thicker icing, from which you can make figurines for decor or paint on products, as shown in the video.
This recipe will be of interest to those who are afraid to eat raw eggs. Light sourness will give sweet cakes a unique citrus note and no hassle with it. The simplest and easiest recipe.

How to cook:
The only drawback of this glaze is that it turns out to be "liquid" in color. If you want to get a richer color on the coulis, you can apply several layers, each time waiting for the previous one to dry completely.
By the way, this glaze can be made orange, cherry and any other, replacing the lemon juice with the juice of the berry or fruit, the taste of which you would like to get.
Advice! If you will use colored sprinkles, candied fruits, nuts or other decorations to decorate the cakes, use them immediately after applying the glaze so that they have time to “grab” and adhere well to the surface. And this applies to any glaze.
If for some reason you suddenly do not have powdered sugar, then this is not a reason to give up decorating cakes. It can be replaced with sugar, although in this case you will have to boil it a little.
Ingredients:

The recipe for protein icing for Easter cake is quite simple, but it still has its own nuances. If you strictly follow them, you will certainly succeed: the proteins will beat properly, the glaze will be quite hard and beautiful. Well, and of course, very tasty!
By the way, this protein icing for Easter cake, which does not crumble when cut and does not crumble, which is important. So, how to make protein icing for Easter cake - a detailed master class with step-by-step photos at your service!
Ingredients for covering 2-3 Easter cakes:
To prepare the protein glaze, we use only well-chilled eggs. Therefore, in advance, in 5-6 hours, we put the eggs in the refrigerator. Before preparing the glaze, wash the eggs thoroughly and wipe them dry. Carefully, using a knife, break the eggs and separate the white from the yolk. Pour the proteins into a mixer bowl.
A prerequisite for a good protein glaze: the bowl and whisk must be completely clean and dry. Therefore, we thoroughly rinse the bowl and whisks with detergent, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. And only after that we use it for protein glaze. Rinse the lemon, wipe it dry. Squeeze out a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice. Add to proteins.
Beat the protein with lemon juice for 20-30 seconds at low speed, the same amount at medium speed, and then at the highest speed until a thick foam forms. Beating time depends on the freshness of the eggs - fresh eggs take longer to beat.
Gradually, continuing to beat, add powdered sugar in a tablespoon, until the desired thickness of the glaze is achieved.
Well-beaten whites should not drip off the spoon or whisk, the whites will form stable peaks. The whipping process is not long - 4-6 minutes. You may need a little more powdered sugar (2-3 tablespoons).
You need to decorate the cakes immediately, since the protein icing for the cake dries out pretty quickly. The cakes should be cooled by this time, otherwise the icing will flow.
After applying the protein icing for the cake, decorate it with confectionery sprinkles on top until it hardens. Children are very fond of this process - feel free to entrust them with such work: it is difficult to spoil something in this case, and the children will get great pleasure.
Leave the decorated Easter cakes at room temperature until the glaze hardens.
