It is necessary
-
- Fruit in jelly
- gelatin - 1 package;
- apple juice - 600 ml.;
- raspberries - 0.5 cups;
- kiwi - 2 pieces;
- banana - 1 piece;
- tangerine - 2 pieces;
- icing sugar - 1 glass.
Instructions
Step 1
Basket with fruits and berries.
For cake decoration, both fresh and canned fruits are suitable. You can use tangerines, kiwi, strawberries, peaches, raspberries, cherries, currants. You will also need a flat cookie, it should be narrow and long.
Cover the surface of the cake with protein cream or whipped cream. Cut the strawberries in half and arrange them in a circle. The next circle is kiwi cut into rings, then peeled mandarin slices (how to put and in what order depends on your imagination). Cover the sides of the cake with cream. Place the cookies "upright", close to each other so that the top edge protrudes slightly above the surface of the cake. The basket is ready.
Step 2
Fruit in jelly.
Pour the apple juice over the gelatin (the juice should cover the gelatin completely). Prepare fruits and berries. Cut the kiwi into slices, the strawberries into thin slices, peel the tangerine slices, cut the banana into cubes. Cook the swollen gelatin over low heat until completely dissolved, do not forget to stir, otherwise the gelatin may burn. Then add the icing sugar and the remaining juice. Strain. Take a shallow container (it is desirable that the size and shape of the container correspond to the size and shape of the cake). Put the prepared berries and fruits in a container and pour over the prepared mixture. Refrigerate. The jelly must be in the refrigerator for at least a day. A cake decorated in this way will be bright, fragrant and, what is important, natural.
Step 3
Decorating the cake with chocolate.
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a water bath. Select a drawing, put tracing paper on it. Roll a small cornet out of parchment and pour warm chocolate into it. Apply chocolate along the outline of the design. Wait for the chocolate pattern to cool and carefully peel it off the paper. Transfer the pattern to the surface of the cake.
Step 4
Flowers from fruits.
Flowers made from fruits are rarely used for decorating cakes. A. meanwhile, making them is not at all difficult. In addition to the usual berries and fruits, you can also use melon and pineapple.
Slice pineapple and melon into rings. Cut out the flowers with a baking dish. You can make a multi-tiered flower using shapes of different sizes. The center of the flower is a cherry, grape or any round berry. Flowers can be simply laid out on the surface of the cake (cover the cake with protein cream or whipped cream beforehand). You can collect a whole bunch of flowers and berries. For this, toothpicks are used. The elements of the flower are strung on toothpicks and fixed on the surface of the cake.
