The process of making Napoleon cake takes a lot of time and patience. And for the dessert to become a real work of art, you need to spend some more time and decorate it. Below are the ways to decorate the finished Napoleon cake.
Instructions
Step 1
Classic "Napoleon" is decorated with crumbs left over after smoothing the edges of the cake. They are evenly scattered over the top cake. If desired, they can be crushed to a powder state.
Step 2
If there are not many crumbs left from the uneven edges of the cake, you can sprinkle the top cake with powdered sugar, and lay out the outline of the cake with crumbs. If you wish, you can complicate the decoration as follows - you need to cut a drawing out of paper, place it on the top cake already sprinkled with powdered sugar, and sprinkle the uncovered areas of the cake with cocoa powder. The cake will turn out to be exquisite and unusual.
Step 3
You can decorate the Napoleon cake with grated chocolate. We recommend using white grated chocolate. In addition, you can create designs on the top of the cake with two types of chocolate, as described earlier.
Step 4
Whipped cream can also be used to decorate a cake. They are applied along the edge in a wavy line or squeezed out in separate curls that look like meringues. If the cake will be served cut up and on separate saucers, you can squeeze a little whipped cream onto each piece of the cake, and decorate with a cherry on top.
Step 5
The most avant-garde way to decorate the Napoleon cake is to put berries, such as raspberries and blueberries, on top of the last crust of dough. It is not necessary to create some kind of drawing, the main thing is that the berries fill all the space on the cake. This method of decoration, of course, is far from the classics, and is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, if you want to decorate "Napoleon" with berries, you can cut four strawberries along, place them in the center of the cake as if marking the sectors, and cover the rest of the space with dough crumbs.
