It is necessary
- - cream;
- - mixer;
- - plastic bowl;
- - confectionery syringe with attachments.
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, it should be mentioned that not all cream is able to acquire an alluring sweet cloudiness, but only those that have a fat content of at least 25%. Moreover, milk cream should have a higher fat content than vegetable cream. It is good to know, however, that 1 liter of non-dairy cream gives 3 liters of persistent cream that can even be frozen and thawed without sacrificing taste. In addition, they are low in calories compared to dairy products.
Step 2
The next step is cooling. Before whipping the cream, they should be cooled at a temperature of + 5-10 degrees for at least 12 hours. Sugar (water, milk and other additives) must be added to the cream before whipping. Not every dish is suitable for whipping cream. It is best to use a plastic bowl. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the whisk does not scratch its inner surface. Then you need to start whipping, making sure that the cream is not "broken". It is easy to determine the readiness of the product: it has greatly increased in volume, but it is still a little thin, although the rim leaves a clear mark on its surface. In theory, you can whip the cream with a hand whisk, but the cooking process will be less laborious with a mixer. Using a mixer, it is better to beat the product at low speed.
Step 3
Next, you need a pastry bag with attachments. Before decorating the cake, it must be coated with cream, icing, jam, tightened with marzipan, and so on. Already on the lubricated surface of the product, it is necessary to start applying cream. To apply cream, use a pastry bag with different attachments. For example, for a rose, a tip with an oblique cut is suitable, and for a curb, a thin tip with teeth is suitable. The decoration of the cake entirely depends on the imagination of the hostess. For example, you can use a thin tip to decorate the chocolate-glazed surface of the cake with a kind of openwork spider web, you can "plant" a lot of roses on the cake, in the center of which you can place canned or fresh strawberries or cherries.
