Instruction manual
1
What cream to use for decoration? There are several basic recipes that can decorate a cake. They are easy to prepare and very tasty.
2
The most popular and lightest in execution is the main butter cream with icing sugar. For him, we need 200 g of butter and 8 tablespoons (with a hill) of powdered sugar.
3
Remove oil in advance from the refrigerator - it should be at room temperature. Beat it with a mixer and, gradually, one spoonful, add powdered sugar. This cream is suitable for decoration, and as a base for mastic. To draw figures, leave it in the refrigerator for a short while - it will freeze and the figures will come out better.
4
The next cream is the main butter with condensed milk. Ingredients: butter - 200 g, condensed milk - 8 tablespoons. Take the oil (not cold, but softened), beat by hand, using a metal whisk or wooden spatula, until a homogeneous mass of white, lush and elastic. Without stopping whipping, add condensed milk over a tablespoon. And continue to whisk until a homogeneous, airy mass is obtained, about 10-15 minutes. If the milk is sugared, it can be boiled and cooled to room temperature.
5
When decorating with warm cream, the figures are glossy, shiny, not embossed. If you use chilled cream, they will be matte and embossed.
6
Ganache is one of the creams based on cream and chocolate. It is also used to paint jewelry. There are black and white ganache, depending on the chocolate that you use.
7
Recipe number 1. Heated, hot cream (36% fat) - for ganache, 300 g of milk chocolate (or black), 2 cups of chilled cream for whipping.
8
Recipe number 2. 200g of hot cream for ganache (fat content 36%), 200g. white chocolate, 1 cup chilled whipping cream.
9
Bring the cream intended for ganache to a boil and pour the chocolate melted in the microwave or in a steam bath. Stir thoroughly with a fork until the chocolate finally dissolves. After that, we cool it in the refrigerator (you can leave it overnight). The next day, the remaining cream should be whipped until lush. After that, beat the chilled creamy-chocolate mass to a thick state. And gradually, little by little, add to the whipped cream, turn on the mixer for 1-2 speeds.
10
The cream is very thick, delicate, similar to soft ice cream.
If you do not have a special syringe for drawing - it does not matter. Fold a bag of paper for baking, put cream in it, and draw on health!
