The jelly filling will add a beautiful gloss to the fruit laid on the surface of the cake. And if you make the jelly layer thicker, it will add not only a beautiful appearance to the dessert, but also an additional flavor. You can make the jelly yourself or use a convenience food. The main thing is to correctly apply it to the cake.
It is necessary
- - gelatin or semi-finished jelly;
- - cream or glaze;
- - fruits for decoration.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide how you will make the jelly. You can buy a semi-finished product with orange, strawberry or other fruit flavors, or you can prepare the product yourself. If you settled on a ready-made version, you only need water. Boil it and pour in the semi-finished product in the proportion indicated on the package. Stir the jelly thoroughly until the crystals are completely dissolved, refrigerate and pour over the cake.
Step 2
For your own preparation of the product, purchase gelatin in powder, capsules or sheets. Soak it in cold water, wring it out, place it in warmed juice or water mixed with syrup. Heat the mixture until the gelatin is completely dissolved, stirring constantly.
Step 3
The finished jelly must be applied to the surface of the cake. If you plan to lay it in a thick layer, choose a split shape. Its walls should be slightly higher than the cake. In the absence of a suitable shape, it can be folded from thick paper. Cover the baked and cooled sponge cake with a layer of cream or icing to prevent the crust from getting soaked.
Step 4
Cool the finished jelly, but do not let it solidify. Spread it gently over the frosting with a spoon and set the cake in a cool place to set. Before pouring, you can spread chocolate figurines, sugar beads, nuts or berries on the surface.
Step 5
If you want to decorate the transparent layer, you will have to wait for it to completely solidify. After the jelly has acquired the required density, carefully place decorative elements on the cake - flowers, marzipan, mastic or chocolate decorations.
Step 6
Another decoration option is multilayer jelly. This cake looks very nice when cut. Make two or three different colored jellies - for example, cherry, milk, and orange. Fill the surface of the cake with the first layer. Wait for it to fully harden and fill in the second and then the third layer of jelly.
Step 7
Cakes with fruits laid over the entire surface look very beautiful. In order for the sliced fruits and berries to retain their juiciness and acquire an elegant gloss, they need to be covered with a thin layer of jelly. Take the uncured ready-made mass and apply it to the surface with a pastry brush or teaspoon. Don't skimp - the jelly should cover all the fruits. Let the mass solidify.
