"Honey" does not need advertising, it has long won the hearts of millions of sweet tooth and took its rightful place in the ranks of the classic representatives of the confectionery world. Heady honey aroma, cakes melting in your mouth, delicate cream, crunchy nut crumbs harmoniously complement each other. Perhaps the only drawback of the cake is its overly modest appearance, which cannot always emphasize the solemnity and significance of the celebrated event. That is why we have collected the most successful ideas, inspiring and suggesting how to decorate Honey cake so that it becomes the highlight of the festive table.

Important! First, smooth the surface of the cake with a cream, mastic or glaze.

How to decorate Honey cake with fruits

Idea No. 1 - simple, yet juicy, bright and fortified - to decorate pastries with fruits.

We will need:

  • seasonal or canned fruits (give preference peach, orange, mango, pear, apple, kiwi, banana, grape, pineapple; refuse from the use of persimmons, melons, lime, other unnecessarily “watery” fruits in decoration);
  • jelly for cake - for filling the fruit composition or lubricating its individual elements to give them a glossy shine - “dew effect”.

Decorating a cake with garden gifts at home is quite simple.

The following are 5 interesting ideas that you can safely take into service:

  • "Wreath". Assorted slices of favorite fruits are laid out on the edges of baking, the central part remains covered with a white cream, contrasting beautifully with bright fruits.
  • "Rainbow". The surface of the cake is divided into equal sectors, each of which is covered with colorful fruit cubes.For example, red - from strawberries, orange - from orange, yellow - from pineapple, etc.
  • Fruit roses. To make them, you will first need to boil apple slices, pears or orange peel in sugar syrup until elastic, then roll them into “sockets” and fix them with an arbitrary pattern on the dessert.
  • Minimalism. At the edges lay caramelized paradise apples, cocktail cherries or small tangerines cut in half. Complement the ensemble with several sprigs of mint.
  • "Glade." The upper part of the baking is completely covered with fruits (for example, halves of grapes, peach slices, assorted pattern), then filled with transparent jelly.

For housewives who like to surprise guests with their culinary talents, we recommend carving - art cutting of fruits as a decoration for Medovika. With its help, just a beautiful birthday cake will turn into a real work of confectionery art.

In fact, anything can be made from fruits: figures of fairy-tale characters or animals, hearts, geometric figures - it all depends on the event for which the dessert is baked, as well as the flight of your imagination.

Cake decoration with cream

Idea No. 2 is a gentle, light, airy cream. This is a beautiful and fairly quick decoration of "Honey".

Such a decor:

  • perfectly holds its shape: does not settle, does not spread;
  • allows you to experiment: write congratulatory inscriptions, make borders, delicate patterns, reliefs, lush roses, daisies or lilies, waves, zigzags, other amazing shapes;
  • using food colors can be made in any color variation.

Choose a cream to your taste and budget: butter, protein, based on whipped cream, marshmallows, creamy cheese (cream cheese). Any of them will look spectacular.

You will also need:

  • for making delicate reliefs, flowers and other artistic compositions - a confectionery syringe with various nozzles or a cornet (a sheet of parchment folded in a pouch with a cut tip);
  • for decorating with coarse brush strokes (chaotic or made in one direction) - spatula / silicone spatula.

Using berries

Idea No. 3, which modern confectioners consider the best decoration for the cake, is fresh berries. The original, juicy, incredibly fragrant, mouth-watering decor takes a minimum of time and effort, and the ingredients for it in modern megalopolises are available year-round.

To decorate "Honey" use a scattering of berry assorted, as well as individual berries.

Decor can be placed on the cake:

  • in the form of a wreath, month;
  • loose over the entire surface - a popular combination of blueberries, red currants, raspberries;
  • exclusively in the central part, for example, decorate it with strawberries with tails.

A handful of berries that “sleeps out” of a sugar cone will look spectacular. An elegant solution - neatly laid out and drenched in jelly fruits. They can also be dipped in melted chocolate, sprinkled with cinnamon or powdered sugar, supplemented with coconut flakes, nuts, sprigs of “greens” - mint, rosemary, eucalyptus.

Chocolate pattern

Idea No. 4 will tell you how to decorate the Honey cake with chocolate. This decor looks incredibly elegant and stylish at the same time, while it does not require special pastry skills.

We will need:

  • two bars of bitter or milk chocolate without any kind of toppings / additives;
  • confectionery bag with a narrow dispenser;
  • sheets of parchment and plain paper with a pre-marked or printed pattern (this item is variable).

Note! The chocolate pattern is applied exclusively to the cream. If you do it crumbly from cakes, the decor will constantly slide or even fall off from the sides of the baking dish.

Algorithm of actions:

  1. Melt the chocolate.
  2. Cool it a little, pour it into a pastry bag in a warm form.
  3. Apply patterns (honeycombs, flowers, artistic stains, congratulatory inscriptions, etc.): on the surface of the cake, then remove it for three hours in the refrigerator for solidification; on parchment paper (put a printed “ornament” under the bottom), which then needs to be sent to the freezer for 1.5 hours, then gently remove the pattern from it and place it beautifully on the confectionery product.

Bee drawing using a stencil

The simplest idea at home # 5 is the perfect option when you want to attract kids to decorate the holiday treats.

We will need:

  • stencil "bee" (all kinds of variations can be printed from online sources, and if you have the ability to draw - to make yourself);
  • crumb crust and / or chopped nuts for sprinkling;
  • powdered sugar / coconut.

Let's consider in detail how to decorate the Honey cake using a thematic stencil:

  1. Grease the top baking cake with cream, then sprinkle with crumbs, slightly pressing it to the surface.
  2. Attach a stencil on top.
  3. Gently, strictly along the contours, sprinkle it with powder or shavings (you can use nutty “flour”). To obtain a more voluminous and contrasting picture of a bee, the action can be repeated several times.
  4. Remove the stencil sharply so that the remnants of the powder do not get on the baking surface.

Dressing "Honey" with mastic

Idea No. 6 is an opportunity to portray your dream on an ordinary classic delicacy, because mastic gives a wide scope of imagination. This elastic material is optimal for creating a perfectly smooth surface of the Honey cake, you can sculpt any thematic figures from it: people, buildings, flowers, vehicles. Cartoon plot, charming chamomile glade, a ship with red sails, a sexy female bust in lace underwear - with mastic, perhaps everything, a beautiful birthday cake will be provided.
