It is necessary
- - 8 egg whites
- - 3 cups granulated sugar
- - 600 gr. butter
- - half a teaspoon of salt
- - mixer
- - culinary syringe
Instructions
Step 1
One of the easiest ways to decorate a birthday cake is using buttercream mastic, which doesn't require a lot of ingredients and is quick and easy to prepare. From the specified amount of ingredients, you can prepare about 1 kilogram of cream for mastic.
Step 2
Combine 8 egg whites, 3 cups granulated sugar and half a teaspoon of salt, then heat the mixture in a water bath. Salt is necessary so that this mass ultimately beats better. Stir the mixture constantly so that the sugar can dissolve faster. Remove from heat, then refrigerate, stirring constantly.
Step 3
After the mass for mastic has cooled completely, it should be whipped. This can be done with a whisk or a mixer.
Step 4
Take 600 grams of room temperature butter and beat until firm. If you love chocolate, you can use chocolate butter instead of regular butter.
Step 5
In the future, add the whipped butter one teaspoon to the protein-sugar mixture, constantly beating it with a mixer. After mixing the butter and the protein-sugar mixture, work a little more with a mixer until the desired density of the cream for the cake paste is obtained.
Step 6
The prepared mastic can be used to grease cake layers or make various decorations. To make the cream for mastic lay evenly and beautifully, use a special culinary syringe that will allow you to make various decorations or write on the cake. When applying the mastic, make sure that the cream is evenly distributed over the entire surface. A rolling pin will also help you apply the mastic, which will press the cream to the cake and prevent the formation of bubbles. The remnants of the mastic should be cut off with a knife.
Step 7
After applying the mastic and decorating the cake, refrigerate the cake for 12 hours. After that, the cake can be served.
