Instructions
Step 1
Candied fruits can become a bright and original element of the cake decor. They are easy to make at home. Any berries and fruits of your choice (cherry, sweet cherry, currant, apple) or their peel (lemon, orange, grapefruit, watermelon, melon) will do. Cut the candied fruit blanks into pieces, boil in boiling water for 5-10 minutes, then drain the water. In a separate bowl, prepare the sugar syrup (approximately 1: 2 ratio of water to sugar), bring it to a boil and add the pieces of fruit. Cook until very little syrup remains, let the remaining syrup drain. Dry the finished candied fruits in the oven or on parchment, sprinkle with powdered sugar or sugar.
Step 2
Surprise guests with candied flower decorations. For this recipe, only wild and garden flowers that have not been treated with chemicals are suitable. Rinse the flowers in water, pat dry on a paper towel. Using a thin brush, apply a lightly beaten egg white to the petals and buds, then use a sieve to sprinkle the flowers with powdered sugar. Shake off excess powder and dry the resulting blanks on paper.
Step 3
Decorate the cake with chocolate flowers and leaves. To do this, melt the chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave. Apply an even layer of chocolate to the back of the leaf using a brush. Place the leaves on a plate or parchment paper to dry. When the chocolate is completely solidified, carefully separate the resulting pieces.
