Instructions
Step 1
Decorate the edges of the cake.
Spread the dough over the baking dish so that the edges of the dough are flush with the edge of the baking dish. Press the prongs of a fork flat against the dough so that you get a grooved border.
Step 2
Decorate with scraps of dough.
Pinch off pieces of dough from the scraps, form flat leaves with your fingers. Draw veins with the tip of the knife.
Leaves can be used to decorate the top of a closed pie, or to be put on the border of an open pie.
Step 3
Roll three long, thin flagella from pieces of dough. Braid them. Place the pigtail on the surface of the cake.
Roll out the dough into a thin layer, cut into narrow strips from it. Take the stripes two at a time and twist them into strings.
Alternatively, arrange the stripes over the top of the open cake to form a grid.
Step 4
Form a bunch of dough pieces.
Roll into small grape-sized balls of dough. Spread the balls out on top of the covered cake like a grape brush. Make a small ponytail to which you stick two dough sheets.
Step 5
Garnish an open berry or curd pie with a whipped protein heap.
Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the whites with a mixer until fluffy, add granulated sugar, continue beating until high peaks.
Five minutes before the pie is ready, remove it from the oven, spread the protein mass over the surface, put in the oven to brown the proteins.
Step 6
Garnish the sponge cake with fresh berries.
Place fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries on top of the finished sponge cake. To keep the berries shiny and not topple off the surface of the cake when you cut it, cover the top of the cake with cake jelly.
Dissolve a bag of cake jelly in cold water. Put on fire, bring to a boil. Pour the hot jelly evenly over the top of the pie.
