The perfect frosting for eggless Easter cakes! Protein glaze for Easter cake.

A lot of recipes have already been written. But in addition to the white delicacy, colored glazing is also quite common. One that can be used not only for Easter bread, but also for all kinds of cakes, muffins and pastries on any other holidays and quite ordinary ones.

To simply please your household with all sorts of goodies.

Interestingly, the main ingredient of this sweet decoration can be not only proteins, gelatin and powdered sugar. Great taste and a beautiful smooth surface for baking can be achieved using chocolate, yolks, lemon, starch and even cheese!

Don't believe me! But in vain! Both the taste and color of such a product are quite rich without any dyes or flavoring additives!

It’s somehow already customary that the glaze is prepared mainly with egg whites. But a rather interesting and tasty option can also be made from yolks.

And what’s remarkable is that if you cook it from store-bought eggs, it turns out almost white. But if the eggs are from domestic chickens with bright yellow yolks, then the coating will take on a delicate, orange-lemon hue.


We will need:

  • Chicken egg – 2 pcs.
  • Granulated sugar - ½ cup.
  • Powdered sugar - ½ cup.
  • Water – 2 tbsp. l.

Preparation:

1. First, you need to remove the eggs from the refrigerator so that they reach room temperature. Then carefully separate the yolks from the whites using a special device, an egg separator. Or just carefully pour it from shell to shell in the old “old-fashioned” way.


In order to get an excellent coating, it is best to use fresh eggs that are no more than a week old. Then it is much easier to separate the whites from the yolks, and the required consistency of the finished sweet is obtained much faster.

2. Pour granulated sugar into the pan. Then add water and mix well until all the sugar becomes “wet”.

Place on low heat and stir constantly until it is completely dissolved and a clear, homogeneous syrup is obtained. Immediately turn off the heat and give the mixture some time to cool.

It is important that during further manipulations during preparation of the product, the yolks do not brew in the syrup. While it’s cooling, let’s prepare the other ingredients.


3. To obtain a more delicate consistency of the finished mixture, powdered sugar must first be sifted through a strainer. This must be done in order to give her the opportunity to get enough air during this.


4. Combine the sifted powder with the yolks and beat the mixture thoroughly using a mixer. Beat until a beautiful, fluffy egg foam forms. This must be done without delay, because the syrup will not wait, it also cools down quite quickly.


5. As soon as the sugar liquid has cooled to 40 degrees, add the whipped yolk mixture into it in small parts. And immediately stir quickly.

You can do this with a mixer. In this case, a beautiful and slightly viscous glaze forms much faster.


6. Don’t wait too long for our coating to harden. It is best, as soon as it is prepared, to immediately begin decorating the finished baked goods.


Just don’t forget that the baking must be already cooled down, otherwise the smooth “cap” may slide off.

This is such an interesting recipe. I like him. And you try to cook according to it. I think that he will not leave you indifferent either.

Video on how to make glaze with gelatin that does not crumble or stick

I have already brought this recipe to your attention on this topic. But it is so good that it cannot be ignored here either.

And it should be noted that you can prepare our decoration using it without eggs at all. You will probably be surprised and say that this is impossible. So it’s possible, and how. For cooking we will need gelatin.

In my opinion, the recipe is simply wonderful. And there are practically no worries with him. Everything is fast and simple, like twice two. This glaze can be prepared for any other baked goods.

And since today we are more concerned with preparing it in colored versions, then, of course, this delicacy can be obtained in any color with the addition of additional natural ingredients.

Chocolate fudge made from powdered sugar and starch without eggs

You can quickly make beautiful chocolate fudge from dark chocolate. But it turns out much more interesting when prepared using cocoa powder. Moreover, it is also much more tender, be it in color or in taste.

In fact, the result of the recipe for making such fudge is reminiscent of homemade chocolate paste.

We will need:

  • Powdered sugar – 1 cup.
  • Milk – 2 tbsp. l.
  • Butter – 1 tbsp. l.
  • Cocoa powder – 2 tsp.
  • Starch – 1 tsp.

Preparation:

1. First you need to melt the butter. This can be done in several ways:

  • just let it sit in an iron cup on the table at room temperature
  • put in the microwave
  • pour boiling water into a plate and place a cup of oil in it

At the same time, it is not at all necessary to melt it to a liquid state. It is enough for it to become very soft and pliable.

Let me remind you that it is better to have oil with a fat content of 82.5%.


2. Sift all bulk ingredients through a strainer into a cup with soft butter: cocoa powder, powdered sugar and starch. And mix everything well until smooth.


3. Heat the milk slightly above room temperature (at least 30 degrees), and pour it into the buttery brown mixture in two batches. Careful not to spill, stir until smooth.

Why exactly heat the milk, and why should the butter be warm?

And the answer is very simple. In order for the ingredients to be easily and simply combined, and the bulk components do not form lumps when mixed.


If you wish, at this moment you can also add a spoonful of cognac, liqueur or condensed milk to give the fudge a little piquancy and amazing aroma.

4. Now the mixture needs to be simmered a little over low heat until it thickens slightly and resembles liquid chocolate spread. But this should not be done for more than 5 minutes.

You can also adjust the thickness yourself during cooking: adding a little milk, you can get a slightly liquid mixture, but adding powder, on the contrary, will help thicken it slightly.

If instead of cocoa powder you add 100 grams of melted dark or white chocolate to this recipe, you will get an amazingly delicious chocolate-based fudge.

So experiment and end up with a delicious product.

Recipe with white chocolate and butter

Making coatings with chocolate is very popular not only for Easter cakes, but also for sponge cakes, and even Bird's Milk cakes. You can, of course, use the previous recipe and the advice at the end, but this option is still different from the previous one.

The result of cooking gives a more glossy and shiny surface of the glaze. And by adding food coloring to the recipe, you can get it in any desired color.


We will need:

  • Powdered sugar – 1 cup.
  • White chocolate – 100 gr.
  • Butter – 1.5 tbsp. l.
  • Water – 4 tbsp. l.
  • Lemon juice – 1 tbsp. l.

Preparation:

1. Pour powdered sugar into a small saucepan, add water and lemon juice. Mix all ingredients with a spoon and then put on low heat. With constant stirring, boil the resulting sweet liquid by 1/4 volume (you should get ¾ syrup). Then cool a little.


1 tbsp. l. lemon juice can be replaced with lemon water. To do this, it is enough to take citric acid in an amount of ¼ tsp. and mix it with one tablespoon of water.

2. At the same time, melt white chocolate and butter in a water bath. This can be done directly in one cup. Once they have melted, we still need to carefully mix them until they have a homogeneous consistency.


3. Allow the sugar syrup to cool slightly, then, with constant stirring, pour in the buttery chocolate mixture in a thin stream. Beat it well with a whisk until you get a beautiful, delicate and slightly stretchy glaze.


4. To prevent it from hardening and turning into a thick paste, it is advisable to immediately use a spatula and apply it to the cooled baked goods.


The sweet, fudge-like mixture adheres well to the surface and is very tasty. As I said above, if desired, you can tint it with food coloring of any color.

The perfect starch-based recipe without eggs

Remember glazed gingerbread cookies like in childhood? They had an incredibly tasty and at the same time translucent delicious coating. This is what we ate first, simply gnawing on it.

It was truly a perfect coating that always lay evenly on the gingerbread cookies, did not drip and never stuck to your hands after it hardened on the baked goods.

Now is the time to remember this noteworthy recipe! And although eggs (in particular, whites) were not involved in the preparation, the fudge still turned out to be “glossy.” And it always looked quite original, even on Easter baked goods, even on the same gingerbread cookies, and even shortbread cakes.


We will need:

  • Starch – 10 gr.
  • Milk – 4 tsp.
  • Unscented sunflower oil – 1 tsp.
  • Powdered sugar – 150 gr.

Preparation:

1. Sift the bulk ingredients (starch and powdered sugar) into a cup and mix them well together with the usual stirring with a tablespoon or spatula. What will be more familiar and convenient for you.


2. Pour in warm milk (you can simply let it warm to room temperature, taking it out of the refrigerator in advance) and mix thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous consistency.


3. Add sunflower oil and mix all the ingredients thoroughly again so that they do not separate, and you get a homogeneous plastic mixture.

You won't need to beat this for a long time. Just good mixing is enough to get a thick consistency that will flow fairly slowly down the spoon.

4. After cooking, apply the glaze evenly to the baked goods and leave it to “harden” for about 20-40 minutes. Then you can serve it to the table, or arrange Easter cakes close to each other. They will no longer be afraid to stick to each other.

Bon appetit!

The easiest recipe for making lemon glaze

Although lemon coating is usually an opaque white color, when viewed from the angle of light it appears slightly yellowish. At the same time, it has a fragrant lemon scent. And although its taste is sweet, it still has a gentle sourness.

If you want to get a bright yellow color for this glaze, you can add a little yellow dye or orange juice to the mixture.

There are quite a few different recipes for lemon sweetness, but my family loves it prepared exactly according to the old recipe. Our family has been using it for many years.

It only contains two ingredients, but that doesn’t stop you from enjoying its taste and pleasing your eyes! And very often I use it to frost cupcakes, cookies and even sweet pies. I use it to give sweet baked goods that unique sourness.


We will need:

  • Lemon juice - 3 tbsp. l.
  • Powdered sugar – 150 gr.

Preparation:

1. First, you need to saturate the powder with oxygen and get rid of lumps by sifting through a strainer. This procedure is mandatory and should not be skipped.


The fluffier the powder, the airier and more delicate the mixture turns out.

2. Pour in lemon juice in small portions with constant stirring. You can do this with “shuffling” or “rubbing” movements so that the juice penetrates well and evenly into the powdered sugar.

It is at this step that you can adjust the consistency: a little more juice and the glaze is a little thinner, a little less and it becomes a little thicker.


In this case, you should not use a mixer for combining and whipping. Because of this, powdered sugar can quickly crystallize and the coating will quickly crumble!

3. Beat the powder and lemon well until smooth. It is advisable to achieve a state where the mass turns out to be slightly white and opaque, while a slight yellowish tint will appear.

You will also notice that the finished product becomes shiny almost immediately.


4. Dip the cooled pastry into the resulting mixture and let it dry a little.


If it turns out slightly runny, you can get a nice drip on your baked goods.

Delicate glaze made from cream cheese and powdered sugar

Many people love curd cream in cakes and pastries. Or you can use curd cheese to make a wonderful, delicate glaze that those with a sweet tooth will eat first. Moreover, if you apply it to a still slightly warm cake, it will be a little saturated with this cheese cream and will become unusually tasty!


We will need:

  • Soft curd cheese – 250g.
  • Powdered sugar – 250 gr.
  • Butter – 70 gr.
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp.

Preparation:

1. Beat warm butter until creamy. It is better to do this with a mixer at low speed. In this state, the butter will be able to combine more easily with the cheese, since it will be almost the same consistency.


2. Place soft curd cheese into the whipped butter. Philadelphia or its analogues are best suited. Turn the mixer back on and beat the cheese and butter until well combined.


3. You can sift the powder directly onto the buttery cheese mixture, and beat everything again until smooth with a mixer at the lowest speed. In this case, the powder will not fly out of the cup.

As soon as a beautiful shine and airy, stable peaks appear, the glaze is completely ready.


4. It is advisable to immediately coat the Easter bread with it and let it dry for half an hour.


Look how beautiful it is! It’s delicious, it’s simply beyond words! Connoisseurs of cheese products will understand what we are talking about.

The frosting is like creamy caramel - very tasty.

Do you like Milk Cow candies? And my household enjoys eating not only the candies themselves, but also sucking out the delicious liquid caramel filling with great pleasure.

Would you like to do something similar to taste in order to decorate the top of Easter cakes or any other sweet pies? Then I offer you a very tasty recipe for creamy caramel glaze!


We will need:

  • Powdered sugar – 180 gr.
  • Brown sugar – 100 gr.
  • Milk – 60 ml.
  • Butter – 50 gr.
  • Vanilla sugar – 8 gr.

Preparation:

1. Place butter in a saucepan and let it melt a little over low heat.


2. Pour milk in a thin stream with constant stirring and mix it well with the butter.


3. Add brown sugar in small portions and dissolve it completely. Make sure that grains of sugar do not fall to the bottom and burn - otherwise a burnt sugar smell may appear. The end result will be a sweet syrup.


4. Without ceasing to stir, let the liquid boil and reduce it slightly for two minutes. Then turn off the heat and place the saucepan on a hot rack on the table.


5. Divide the pre-sifted powder approximately in half. Pour in one half first, stirring the mixture constantly. You can beat well with a mixer or whisk, and then cool the resulting slightly thickened liquid to 40 degrees.


6. While stirring the cooled sugar-cream mixture, add the remaining half of the powder and vanilla sugar.

Beat with a mixer until a stable thick consistency appears. This will be the finished glaze with a taste like those delicious milk candies.


7. Using a spatula, coat the pastries or cakes and let them stand for about 20-30 minutes until the coating dries.


It looks delicious, doesn't it?

The photo shows what color you can still get to decorate the top of the products. This color can be achieved using natural or food coloring. You can tint the mixture with carrot or beet juice or spinach juice. We talked a lot about natural dyes!


They say how to do this with food colorings

Therefore, if you want not only to decorate them, but also to decorate them in an original way, today’s article can help you with this. Moreover, you can easily prepare such amazingly delicious types of icing, either especially for Easter, or for an ordinary pie or pastry.

Icing on Easter cake is the main decoration of Easter. And since preparations for the Easter holiday are in full swing, housewives have probably already managed to think about how to decorate baked goods at home.

There are many ways to prepare glaze for Easter cake: lemon fudge, protein fudge, and even chocolate. We offer several recipes, and it’s up to you to decide whether you prepare something specific, or use several options at once.

The classic version of the Easter cake glaze recipe includes the following ingredients:

  • eggs, preferably chicken – 2 pcs.;
  • sugar, regular or cane sugar – 1 tbsp;
  • salt - a pinch is enough.

Take chilled eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. We do this as carefully as possible - so that not a single drop of yolk gets into the bowl with the whites. Next, to prepare the sugar glaze for Easter cake, start beating the eggs with a mixer and adding salt to make the foam thicker and fluffier.

When the foam in the sugar fudge for the Easter cake has become as fluffy as possible, we begin to add sugar in small portions. Continue beating until all the granulated sugar has gone into the glaze and has dissolved.

Spread the mixture onto the cake (be sure to cool) and sprinkle the confectionery decorations on top until it has cooled. If necessary, the glazing applied to the baked goods can be dried.

Protein fudge

Another option for fudge with eggs is white cake frosting. This recipe requires the use of powdered sugar. So, you will need:

  • powdered sugar (you can grind regular granulated sugar) – 1 tbsp.;
  • chicken egg white – 1 pc.;
  • fresh lemon juice – 1 tsp;
  • table salt - a pinch will be enough.

To prepare the protein glaze, you will not need the whole egg, but rather the egg whites. Therefore, first carefully separate the whites from the yolks, as in the previous recipe. Beat the protein obtained in this way for the protein glaze for the Easter cake for several minutes with a pinch of salt until you get a thick foam. It is important that the protein is chilled.

When the foam becomes thick and begins to hold its shape, you can add powdered sugar. It is necessary to use powdered sugar, as it dissolves without lumps. Of course, you can use regular sugar, but then you need to make sure that it dissolves completely and does not settle to the bottom, since sugar is heavier.

Lastly, add lemon juice to the egg white icing for the cake. In this case, you need to continue to beat the Easter cake fudge with a mixer until it has a homogeneous consistency. As a result, lemon juice will make the icing for the Easter cake dense, and the citrus will give the baked goods a pleasant taste.

By the way, not many people know that other juice can be used in the same way to make fudge for Easter cake - for example, pomegranate, pineapple, orange or even cherry. Depending on what taste you ultimately want. In addition, this lemon glaze for Easter cake will help make the sweet taste less cloying.

If, as a result of cooking, the icing for Easter cake has become too thick, it can be diluted with a small amount of water or the same lemon juice. The mixture is applied to hot cakes.

Sugar icing without eggs

A special feature of the fudge recipe is the fact that it is applied to cold Easter cake. But there is another advantage. Homemade egg-free Easter cake icing is completely safe, as there is no need to beat raw eggs.

To prepare you will need:

  • powdered sugar or sand – 200 g;
  • milk, which can be replaced with cream – 40 ml.

  • any chocolate bar, dark can be – 90 g;
  • orange juice, which can be replaced with lemon, pineapple or any other - 3 tbsp. l.;
