How to make a stake jewelry

I always want to decorate the cake somehow in a special way. There are always many options, it all only depends on your free time, complexity of execution and cost. Consider the simplest and most interesting options for decorating cakes.

Decoration of the cake with fruit. This option is the easiest to realize, because fruits are bought for any holiday. For example, you can mentally divide the cake into two halves, one of which should be laid out in the form of a Christmas tree with a banana, and the second - strawberries. You can show imagination and make a pattern of several types of fruits. You can use one grapes by cutting the berries in half and filling them with jelly directly on the cake. If you cook the cake in winter, you can take coconut chips, sprinkle your cake, and put currants, viburnum or blackberries on top.

Decoration of the cake with chocolate. For this you will need, depending on the size of the cake, melt one or two Chocolate tiles in a water bath or in a microwave. Before you start the process, break the chocolate into small pieces. They will melt unevenly, so you can stir them in a pan or after a minute of warming up from microwaves. Chocolate will freeze on top of the cake, forming a beautiful crust. The only negative is that during cutting it can crumble. If you want to make chocolate figures, then pour a hot drink into pre -prepared molds. They do not need to lubricate anything! If there are no molds, then you can come up with a stencil yourself. From molds, the chocolate can be knitted, slightly hitting on top of the form, and from the stencil the figures are cut out.

Decorate the cake with sweets or waffle tubes. Depending on the shape of the sweets, you can create either a small fabulous slide, or just a beautiful scattering, or lay out names and wishes. If you have chosen sweets and waffle tubes, in this case the cake begins to resemble a basket, looks very interesting and will probably like the children.

Oil curls. They rarely be surprised by anyone, but they can also be interestingly beaten. For example, making sides and edging from curls, and decorate the middle of the surface of the cake with something original. Fruits and chocolate figures are ideal. Make curls with a culinary bag or syringe.

Decoration from mastic. One of the most popular jewelry due to originality and the ability to prepare such a masterpiece yourself. The easiest thing is mastic from marshmallows marshmallow. For the preparation of mastic pour marshmallows into a bowl (an average of 160 g of marshmallows per 1 kg of cake), add half a teaspoon of lemon juice and put in microwave. If the mass has increased three times - it's time to get it. Add the dye in the still hot marshmallow and mix thoroughly. Now it remains to add gradually sugar powder (150-200 g) to get the dough. Pour powder on the table so that the mastic does not stick, and roll out to the width of 5 mm. Now cover your cake, and cut the excess. Remember that mastic can not be used with every cake. For example, from a cake with sour cream, it can leak. Figures for decoration can be ordered in special stores or do it yourself. The mastic is very reminiscent of plasticine, so if you are well able to sculpt cute animals from it, then there will be no problem to make them from mastic for the cake.

Any cake is a small masterpiece of the hostess. To make it wonderful, try to cook in a good mood, and also do not use new, unverified recipes right before the holiday.
