The Trick to Making a Beautiful Decorated Cake
- 1 Spongecake
- 200 ml Whipping cream
- 16 grams Sugar
- 1 Fruits
- 1 packet *Simple syrup
- 5 ml *Liqueur
- 1 Nappage
- When you cut the spongecake, make sure you do so cleanly.
- (Start from the point away from you and draw the knife towards you).
- Combine the * ingredients and spread on the cut surface.
- (This prevents drying out, adds flavor, and helps the heavy cream to stick.)
- Whip the cream until peaks form (the tips should be slightly bowing).
- (If it's not cold enough, the peaks will be weak, so definitely place the bowl in ice water.)
- First, spread on some cream.
- (You won't see it, so it's okay to spread it on roughly.)
- Place on the sliced strawberries.
- Make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel.
- The cake will be easier to cut if you don't place one in the very center.
- Cover the strawberries with a good amount of cream.
- Use a lot so that it's about to seep out of the cake.
- Put the other sheet of cake on top and spread on the syrup mixture.
- Pile on the cream.
- This is important!
- If you're spreading a first coating, spread it on thinly and then refrigerate.
- Run the spatula parallel to the cake (at a 45 degree angle) and spin the cake stand to evenly spread the cream on the surface of the cake.
- The extra cream can be used to cover the sides.
- The cream is falling off the sides.
- This is important!
- Hold the spatula perpendicular to the cake and spread the cream that is falling from the top around the sides of the cake.
- If there's not enough, add more.
- The spatula should be at an angle of 45-30 degrees to the cake.
- When spreading the sides with cream, square it off at the top.
- This is important!
- Hold the spatula parallel to the cake and even out the cream by moving from the edges to the center.
- Spin the plate and continue from each side until the angles on the edge are softened.
- Remove the cream that got dropped onto the rotating plate stand (or plate).
- Hold the spatula parallel to the plate and spin it.
- Put the cream into a piping bag.
- Put part of the piping bag into securely into the piping tip so that the cream on the inside doesn't leak out.
- If you stand the bag in a cup, it's easy to get the cream in, as shown in the photo but...don't put it in all at once.
- Pipe the cream.
- Hold it by twisting edge of the bag.
- (If you hold the cream, it will melt.)
- Outside: Roses - spin and pipe.
- Center: Shells - push down strongly and pull back towards you.
- Decorate with fruit.
- I stuck on a piece of cheese cake this time.
- Varnish the fruits with nappage.
- If you have cake crumbs, scatter them on the bottom edge of the cake where it's sitting on the plate.
- Use a spatula to help them stick on.
