Sugar and protein icing for cake

Easter cakes are one of the main decorations on the Easter table, and they should not only be tasty, but also look presentable, which largely depends on the glaze. One of the options for its preparation would be a glaze with agar-agar and powdered sugar. Such glaze does not crumble when cutting, does not stick, retains its shape well and any confectionery dressing. Preparing the agar glaze is quick and easy.

The hostesses prepare the icing for Easter cakes according to different recipes and most often they just beat the sugar and protein, but this icing quickly crumbles. Nowadays, it has become popular to prepare icing with the addition of gelatin, which is whipped with sugar syrup. This glaze does not crumble and looks like a meringue. In this recipe, you are invited to replace water with citrus juice.

This glaze perfectly holds its shape and does not spread. After drying, it forms a light crust and remains soft inside. When sliced, this glaze does not crack. For cooking, you will need egg white, gelatin mixture for jelly with any taste, granulated sugar and a powerful mixer.

This icing for Easter cakes, perhaps, can be called classic. We prepare it on the basis of egg white with the addition of granulated sugar and lemon juice. The mass is sweet with a slight hint of citrus acidity. The coating of such glaze on ready-made cakes looks very elegant. The top layer of the mass dries up, but inside the glaze remains plastic. When cutting, the coating practically does not crumble. However, if the glaze is applied too thinly, it will dry to a crisp and break easily. Therefore, when decorating Easter cakes, we try to choose the optimal layer thickness.

Protein glaze with starch is good because it turns out to be quite hard. It takes time to dry and forms a dense crust. This glaze is ideal for those cases when ready-made cakes need to be transported - it will not stick to the package, will not break with accidental pressure and will retain its original appearance. To prepare the glaze, a mixer is needed; it is unlikely that it will be possible to provide high-quality whipping by hand.

Each housewife has her own ways and favorite recipes for making Easter cakes. But everyone has one thing in common - each cake only wins if you cover it with glaze. There are also many coating options, and it has been noticed that the glaze that adheres well to the surface and does not crack when cutting baked goods is especially appreciated. It is this glaze that is suggested in this recipe.

If the crystals (granules) are large, first crush them into powder - this way the acid will dissolve faster.
