So the award for the most failed blog goes to me. I have got so many posts waiting to be finished but never the motivation or time to complete and post them. Apologies... In particular I had a special chirstmasy one planned that I would post in time for the holiday. It involved an easy way to add a touch of festive spirit to any cake.
Hey. It's still winter so there's no reason why you couldn't add a seasonal twist to decorating cakes. This festive decoration is frosted fruits. Yes, this makes the cake you're eating a little healthier because there is fruit involved. You're welcome ;)
It's a pretty simple method. You only need two ingredients, but I'll warn you know, it can get a little messy.
All you will need is white caster sugar and egg whites. The quantity of both will of course vary depending on how much fruit you are looking to cover, but I will recommend that you start off with a little sugar so that you don't waste too much. Have a baking tray ready lined with some parchment paper so that the fruit can sit to dry and set for a couple of hours.
The process for this is pretty simple. Just dip the fruits first in the egg whites, try and remove any excess egg white, and then dip and roll in the sugar. Easy right?
Here's a little look at the ones I did for a chocolate birthday cake. It's adds such a nice touch to the cake and looks really pretty. Give it a go, it's so simple!
Enjoy
