Cooking is not just the process of preparing food; it is also an art. And even at home, you want to pamper your loved ones not only with a delicious, but also a beautiful dish, especially if its serving is tied to a particular celebration. This is not difficult to do, because even just decorating the cake with whipped cream, you will already give it a festive look.
It is necessary
- - whipping cream;
- - pastry bag;
- - a can of whipped cream;
- - cream fixer.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a specialty whipping cream from the store. They should be of a fairly high fat content, from 33% and above. Some people also use products, the fat content of which is about 22%, but the result is far from always sufficient: the cream falls off or does not whip at all.
Step 2
Whisk the cream thoroughly. Remember that they require accuracy and attention: they must be whipped for a strictly defined time: if the process lasts less, they will not reach the desired consistency, and will float on the finished cake, if longer, they will begin to exfoliate and form flakes. Often times, the approximate time required to achieve the optimal structure is written on the packaging, but it is approximate and only serves as a guide.
Step 3
Use a cream fixer if you are not sure that they will hold their shape well and will not fall off. Calculate the amount based on the instructions on the package.
Step 4
Decorate the cake with a cream hat, carefully spreading it out with a spatula. Draw intricate patterns with a fork or toothpick that your imagination tells you. Take a piping bag if you want not just to create a flat surface, but to create a composition of various flowers and figures with the help of cream.
Step 5
Make the bag yourself if this culinary accessory has not yet appeared in your kitchen. Just find a plastic bag and punch a small hole in the corner. Fill it halfway and grab it with one hand. Second, gently squeeze out the cream.
Step 6
Buy a ready-made can of whipped cream if you don't feel like making it yourself. However, remember that you need to decorate the cake with them just before serving, and do not forget to shake the can properly. If you are using commercial whipping cream, apply it to the cake ahead of time as it takes time to set.
