A pie is not only an excellent homemade pastry that every housewife proudly puts on the table for a celebration or during a family Sunday dinner. Pie - a whole scope for creativity! Even if baking is everyday, you can decorate it wonderfully, make it elegant and appetizing.

I share crazy ideas that will take your baking to the next level. Some decorations are very simple, but still look very cute, fun and festive. Take note of these ideas, and your pastries will become a real decoration of the table!

 

1. Dough

Let's cook the apples in the dough and decorate the pastries with the dough. So, we clean the apples, remove the seeds and petioles, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Then we wrap each apple in a coat of dough, cut out the details and fasten, lightly brushing with a beaten egg or milk. Then we send it to the oven for half an hour. Beautiful, ruddy koloboks will please your family with excellent taste and unusual appearance. 

 

2. Meringue

If you don't want to make the cake heavier with a lot of dough, I suggest closing the pie with meringue. This technique is very successful when you use shortcrust pastry and / or prepare a pie with a sweet filling. Using a pastry syringe, spread the meringue with beautiful peaks on top of the cake, then roast in the oven for a few minutes on the "grill" mode. You will get a beautiful golden color.

 

3. Thematic illustrations

Ideas for themed baking for a holiday or a significant event in your life - an unplowed field. For the New Year holidays, you can cut out snowmen, Christmas trees, Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden. On February 23 - stars and ribbons, by March 8 - flowers and much more. Turn on your imagination and you will get the most beautiful cake in the world!

 

4. Food coloring

For decoration and an interesting serving of pastries, you can use another very simple way - multi-colored dough. The dough must be divided into several parts and tinted with food coloring. It can be two colors or more, everything is up to you.

 

5. Berries and fruits

This is the easiest way to decorate a dessert. It is desirable to take fruits and berries ripe and bright, pitted. Otherwise, they will have to be removed, the juice will begin to flow onto the cake - it will turn out ugly, you can spoil the appearance of baking. From above, fruits and berries can be poured with a layer of jelly or gelatin created for this purpose.

 

6. Confectionery topping and powder

Place the prepared templates over the cake, then, through a fine sieve, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, cocoa, or bright sprinkles. Remove templates and you will see the result. A couple of minutes, and the look of the cake will become bright and elegant.

 

7. Baking a certain shape

If you decide to make pastries in the form of fish, birds or animals, it is important to include fantasy - nothing will come of it without it. Think carefully about what your cake will look like, what details you will need, divide the dough into the desired number of pieces, and proceed. Such pies can be made in the form of fruits, houses, cars, etc.
