Decorating a New Year's cake for the meeting of 2018, you can show all the facets of imagination, but most importantly, do not forget about the basic rules of confectionery preparation, namely: homemade cakes are best made from the most natural products, trying and using natural dyes. Of course, often you can not do without them, but mastic or cream can be painted with cocoa, beet juice or berries.



Question pastry The main thing is to know the measure and stop in time. One decoration usually looks much more stylish than a pile of figurines and patterns on the surface of the cake, also sprinkled with pastry beads on top.

And do not be upset if the cake is not the same as in the picture, because the main charm of homemade baking is its imperfection. Let it be with a twist - it is much more interesting than purchased cakes without flaws!

I am sure that you will succeed, and the celebration of the New Year and the coming year will be a source of joy, inspiration and fulfillment of cherished desires for you.
