Cake with frozen or fresh berries - how to prepare cake layers, cream and decorate beautifully

The best ideas on how to decorate a cake with berries

Using berries in cake decor is an excellent solution not only from an aesthetic point of view. We must not forget about the beneficial qualities of this product.

Products suitable for decoration:

cherry;
strawberry;
cherries;
blueberry;
currant;
cowberry;
blueberry;
raspberries;
blackberry.

Subtleties of use:

If you can use berries in any form as a component of the cake, then the decoration will look impressive only with fresh and undamaged specimens.
The stalks of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries must be removed, but strawberries, currants and cherries are often left with petioles or leaves. If the cake has a white coating, then leave the cherries whole, because juice will begin to flow out of the peeled one, which will ruin the appearance of the product.
To ensure a long shelf life of the dish, the berry decoration should be covered with a layer of jelly. This way they will not weather and will retain a presentable appearance for several days.
To prevent the composition built on the surface from falling apart, it is necessary to retreat a couple of centimeters from the edge of the product.
The berries look especially advantageous on the lush white mass. Therefore, the ideal addition for them would be protein cream, custard filler, whipped egg whites or cream.
The delicious decor is laid out chaotically, but it is also necessary to calculate so that when cutting the finished product, everyone gets approximately the same amount.
Decoration elements can simply be laid out on the surface or partially drowned in cream.
Chocolate covered strawberries have become a classic of the genre. The filling can be dark, milky, bitter or white. On top of the main layer, using a pastry syringe with a thin nozzle, make patterns from melted chocolate of a contrasting color.

Almost all berries have a specific sourness. If the cake or cream turns out to be too sweet, then such a decoration will make the taste of the finished dish more balanced.

Rules for decorating cakes with fruits

A cake beautifully decorated with fruit will become a real pearl of any celebration and a source of pride for the hostess. In order for the finished product to retain its shape, you need to follow certain rules for decorating a cake with fruit:

Berries dipped in jelly on a cake

Preparing the cakes. They are well soaked in cream, to which canned fruit is added if desired. An important condition is that the last cake must be covered with a thin layer of cream. This will prevent the fruit pieces from sliding off the dessert.
Fruits. Confectionery products are decorated with fresh, frozen or canned fruits. Cakes decorated with fresh berries look more colorful and vibrant. Fruits prepared for future use must first be thawed and the resulting juice drained before use. Place the preserved mixture in a sieve to drain the syrup. Fruits are laid out in the form of figures (heart, animals, flowers, numbers, fairy-tale characters) or chaotically. Don't forget about a reasonable combination of shades.
Jelly. They pour it over a cake decorated with fruits so that they are better attached to the surface of the sweet product. It is better to use ready-made jelly powder. Just dilute it with water according to the instructions on the package and pour liquid jelly over the cake.
Additional decoration. A cake decorated with fruit is decorated with chocolate, powdered sugar, confectionery sprinkles and other elements. Pieces or whole fruits dipped in melted chocolate look elegant.
Surface. The fruit decoration will ideally adhere to the top cake covered with whipped cream, cream, or unfrozen glaze. Mastic, marzipan and hardening glaze cannot be used.

Fruits are an excellent solution for decorating a cake and decorating other sweet products or baked goods: muffins, cupcakes, pies, desserts.

Choosing fruits

Fruits

Not all fruits can be used to decorate confectionery products. To decorate your cake beautifully with fruits, choose each one carefully. Only strong fruits without dents, dark spots, cracks or other damage are suitable. Overripe and very juicy ones are not suitable, since the juice they secrete will spoil the presentation of the cake.

Most often used to decorate a cake:

pineapples, mangoes, kiwis, peaches, apricots (fresh or canned);
citrus fruits (tangerine, orange, grapefruit);
apples, pears, bananas, plums;
strawberries, blueberries, currants (black and red), grapes.

Some fruits lose their taste and attractiveness after defrosting. It is not advisable to decorate products with such fruits. In this list:

watermelon melon;
persimmon;
cherry, pomegranate;
gooseberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries;
lime.

If you plan to decorate a cake filled with jelly with kiwi or pineapple, then first pour boiling water over them. Otherwise, they will not allow the jelly mass to harden.

Preparation for registration

Wash fruits

You should start decorating a cake with fresh fruits and berries by preparing the fruits.

To do this you need:

choose beautiful, ripe, but strong fruits or berries;
wash them thoroughly under running water and dry on a towel;
remove leaves, seeds, stalks, and from citrus fruits – peel, film;
remove seeds and cut.

To beautifully decorate a confectionery product, fruits are cut in a certain way:

cut apples, pears, mangoes, kiwis and others into thin slices and circles;
apricots, peaches - in halves, as well as slices or quarters;
bananas - in elongated circles;
fresh berries are usually placed whole; only large grapes can be cut into halves.

If you decorate with sliced apples, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent the used fruit from darkening.

You can cut roses, records or other various shapes from large fruits at home. Beautiful slicing can be achieved by using a knife with a thin blade or a special slicer.

Using canned fruits involves placing them in a sieve/colander to drain excess liquid.

Berries and fruits on the cake

When designing a product, select fruits based on shape, size, and color. Usually large fruits/berries are placed in the center, smaller ones - along the edges. The choice of color combinations depends solely on your imagination and artistic abilities.

Coating the finished product with jelly for cakes (described above), purchased in a store, will help maintain the integrity of the composition. To prepare it correctly, use the instructions.

Cheese and berries are, at first glance, incompatible ingredients when it comes to using them in a cake. However, in many modern versions of dessert, such combinations are often found. If you are talking about curd cheese like Mascarpone, then its tenderness and very subtle cheese flavor go well with most berries. The cream itself turns out airy.

Cooking based on biscuit

The simplest but most delicious recipe for a berry dessert includes a biscuit base and sour cream.

Ingredients:

chicken eggs – 4 pcs.;
pre-sifted flour – 200 g;
medium fat sour cream – 350 g;
strawberries – 150 g;
sugar – 200 g for the base and 150 g for the cream;

vanillin - on the tip of a knife.

Additionally, the product can be coated with chocolate ganache or fudge made from cocoa powder.

Cooking method:

Separate the eggs into white and yellow components. You need to be especially careful to ensure that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise you won’t be able to beat them with any force or means. And in order for the biscuit to turn out tender and airy, the proteins must be introduced in a state of strong foam.
Lightly salt the white part, add a little sugar and beat the mixture with a mixer until sharp peaks form.
Separately, foam the yolks with the remaining sugar crystals and vanillin.
Combine the flour with the yolks and baking powder, and then carefully stir in the white foam using a spatula. It is necessary to ensure the preservation of the whipped structure as much as possible.
Pour the biscuit base into a greased pan and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes. Then turn off the oven and let the workpiece stand in it for a little less than a quarter of an hour.
For impregnation, beat sour cream with sugar. You can use powder, then the preparation process will take less time.
Divide the cooled biscuit into 2 parts. Grease the base with cream and spread the chopped berries evenly. Leave some of the largest strawberries for decoration.
Spread sweet sour cream on top of the dessert and arrange the stored berries beautifully.

Instead of cream, the cake can be covered with ganache or fondant, but strawberries look more impressive on a white background. Additionally, a decorative design or inscription is made from dark glaze using a pastry bag.

Chocolate poppy with flowers and berries

Cognac in this recipe can be replaced with liqueur.

Composition of ingredients

For the cakes	For cream	For impregnation	For mastic	For decoration
wheat flour – 1 tbsp.	butter – 120 g	cherry syrup - 2 tbsp. l.	condensed milk – 50 ml	1 rose
poppy seed – 50 g	condensed milk – 320 ml	water – 100 ml	powdered milk – 100 g	1 peony
eggs – 4 pcs.	granulated sugar - 2 tbsp. l.	powdered sugar – 100 g	1 dahlia
granulated sugar – 1 tbsp.	cognac – 1 tbsp. l.	yellow food coloring	3 green leaves
cocoa powder – 2 tbsp. l.	berries

Step-by-step cooking process

A cake with flowers and berries can be prepared following these instructions:

First you need to separate the eggs into whites and yolks.
Pour granulated sugar into the whites, beat using a mixer until fluffy, add the yolks and beat again. Afterwards, you need to add wheat flour to the mass, sifting it through a sieve, add cocoa powder, poppy seeds and mix well.
Next, you will need to divide the prepared dough into 3 equal parts, preheat the oven to a temperature of 200°C, spread the dough into round molds, put it in the oven and bake 3 cakes for 10-15 minutes. The baked cakes will need to be transferred to a wire rack and cooled.
Then you need to take the butter out of the refrigerator, soften it at room temperature, add condensed milk to it and beat thoroughly until a single mass is obtained. Pour water into a small saucepan, add granulated sugar, pour in cherry syrup, bring to a boil over high heat, stirring continuously, skim off any foam that appears, cook for 25 minutes, then cool slightly, add cognac and stir.
Now you can soak the baked cooled cakes with the prepared syrup, coat them with a layer of cream, stack the cakes on top of each other, coat the sides of the resulting cake and place in the refrigerator for 60 minutes. until the cream hardens. Afterwards you need to make mastic by combining condensed milk, powdered sugar, milk powder and yellow food coloring in a deep container. For mastic you will need a few drops of dye. The mastic will need to be kneaded like dough.
Then you need to roll out the mastic into a thin layer, cut out several circles using a round mold, remove the cake from the refrigerator, and evenly distribute the circles made from mastic over it. The cake coating will resemble scales. Then you should wash the flowers, dry them, combine the white with powdered sugar, beat thoroughly, coat the dahlia petals with this mixture using a brush, sprinkle with powdered sugar, do the same with the leaves and leave the preparations for 2 hours.

At the end, you can decorate the sides of the cake with berries, place a rose, dahlia, peony in its central part, attach leaves to them and serve the dessert to the table.

With frozen berries

In winter, fresh cherries, raspberries, strawberries and other similar products are expensive. What to do if you want a dessert based on them? Use frozen berries.

Ingredients:

sponge cakes – 2 pcs.;
favorite cream – 350 g;
chocolate ganache – 200 ml;
frozen berries – 200 g.

Cooking method:

The main difficulty of the recipe is defrosting the food correctly. If you immediately take them out into the heat, they will lose not only their attractive appearance, but also most of their juices. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure gradual thawing, for which first the coldest cell is moved, and then the temperature is gradually brought to the apartment norm. The time range of the process is from 2 to 3 hours.
Layer the cakes with cream.
Cover the top of the product with glaze. In this recipe, it is better to use a dark coating, since frozen berries inevitably leave juice on the surface, so a light decor is absolutely not suitable here.
Arrange the berries randomly, experimenting with color and structure.

Frozen berries are great for making jelly-based decor.

Cake with berries and chocolate drips

This is a culinary hit of recent years. To make it, you need a cake that has a well-leveled cream coating not only on top, but also on the sides. Otherwise, the glaze will spread crookedly, and the decor will turn out sloppy.

Ingredients:

ready-made cake – 1 pc.;
cherry with stalk – 15-17 pcs.;
red currants (with a sprig) – 3-5 pcs.;
chocolate ganache – 150 ml.

You can use any other berry, and instead of chocolate glaze, use colored cream. Cooking method:

Decorating the cake with berries is done in any order. The main condition is that they be laid on top, not reaching 2 cm from the edge of the cakes.
Cool the cake to the lowest possible temperature (but do not freeze). Heat the ganache to 30 degrees.
Using a pastry bag or a regular bag with a corner cut off, outline the top of the product with icing. Leaks will begin to form spontaneously. If the glaze is too thick, you can slightly help it spread with a regular spoon.
Once the design is complete, level off the top glazing area.

The decorated cake must be immediately placed in the cold so that the decoration can harden.

Strawberries with chocolate

Another way to create a memorable cake decoration. The delicate pink color of the berry looks great against a dark background. To make the decor perfect, use the largest strawberries. It is not necessary to remove the stalk.

You will need:

chocolate bar;
some milk;
nuts - optional;
8-10 large strawberries.

Recipe:

Melt the chocolate in a water bath. If it turns out too thick, add a little milk and stir until smooth.
Coat the top and sides of the cake with chocolate.
Dip the strawberry nose into hot chocolate.
Place the berries in a circle closer to the edge of the cake.
Grind the nuts on a grater. Using the resulting nut dust, draw wavy paths on the chocolate.
Finish the design with beautiful chocolate curls, which are obtained by grinding on a coarse grater.

Tip Strawberries go well with both dark chocolate and milk or white chocolate.

How to make it from yogurt

The main advantage of berries is not only their taste, but also their low calorie content. Therefore, they are often used in dietary recipes, usually in company with low-fat yogurt.

Ingredients:

low-fat yogurt – 500 ml;
biscuit cookies – 200 g;
butter – 150 g;
sugar – 150 g;
lemon juice – 4 tbsp. spoons;
low-fat cottage cheese – 400 g;
berry mixture – 150 g;
powdered berry jelly – 1 packet;
gelatin – 3 tbsp. spoons.

Cooking method:

Make a dessert base using crushed cookies and butter in a springform pan. Refrigerate to harden.
Soak gelatin to swell. Meanwhile, mix yogurt, sugar, juice and cottage cheese. Next, add gelatin and pour the cream over the dessert base.
Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the yogurt layer to set.
To decorate, place berries on a hardened surface and fill them with jelly prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Refrigerate again until hardened.

The cake with berries on top can be removed from the springform pan only after it has completely hardened. To make it easier to move away from the walls, the knife is heated a little and passed along the contour of the dessert.

Beautiful dessert with fresh flowers

Another fashionable culinary trend is decorating cakes with real flowers. There are no such decorative elements, but their presence will definitely be appreciated.

It is customary to use flowers of the following plants:

orchid;
jasmine;
lilac;
rose;
chamomile;
cornflowers.

You can decorate with other inflorescences, but first you need to find out whether they are poisonous or treated with chemicals.

Placement methods:

Plan places to attach flowers. This can be a separate area or scattered over the entire surface of the cake. If it is multi-level, then the flowers can descend in a spiral shape or in a cascade.
It is necessary to ensure minimal contact of flowers with edible components, including berries and fruits. To do this, the peduncle is wrapped in cling film before fastening.
Unfortunately, such decorations are short-lived, so you can apply them to the cake no earlier than 2 hours before serving.

The dessert must be kept cold until it is presented to guests.

Decorating cakes with carving

Carving is considered a complex way of decorating cakes with fruit. However, this technique is within the capabilities of even novice masters. The main thing is to cut the fruits in a certain sequence with a thin knife.

Cake carving

It is necessary to have special devices - a slicer, a thin carving knife, a vegetable peeler.

It is better to start experiments with familiar fruits.

We offer some carving ideas with apples and pears:

Apple basket. Cut the fruit in half, scrape out some of the pulp from one half with a spoon to imitate a basket. Cut a flower from the second, string it onto a toothpick and insert it into the lower half (basket). Fill it with other fruits and berries. Such baskets can also be made from other oval-shaped fruits - mango, peach, etc.
Flower. Cut the apple into halves, remove the seeds and cut into very thin slices. Form them into a flower. Apple slices can be blanched in syrup or coated with a thin layer of jelly.
Leaves. In the center of the apple quarter, make a longitudinal notch, the edges are jagged, reminiscent of leaves.
Pear hedgehog. Peel two-thirds of the fruit from the narrow side. Simulate needles by inserting toothpicks with stringed grapes into the pear. In the peeled part, make the nose and eyes using currants or blueberries.
Strawberry flowers. You can cut the berries into thin slices and arrange flowers from them in the center of the cake. The best solution for a volumetric composition is to place a cake or chocolate vase in the recess. You can cut the berries to the base and slightly open the resulting petals. Then thread it onto a skewer/toothpick and attach it to the crust.
Asterisks. Using a knife, cut parallel indentations along the peeled banana and then cut into circles. Decorate the cake with the resulting stars in accordance with your idea.

Strawberry flower on a cake

With the help of berries and fruits you can make original decorations without any special equipment. For example, small berries of different colors are suitable for placing congratulations, pictures or other patterns on the cake, which can be covered with jelly.

Wedding berry cake

A special feature of this dessert is the presence of several levels, since the task is to feed many guests. It is possible to use different cake bases, but there is one obligatory condition - their diameter must differ by at least 7 cm.

Ingredients:

sponge cakes of different diameters - 6 or 9 pcs. (3 per tier);
butter cream – 900 ml;
curd cream – 500 ml;
fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries.

Cooking method:

Assemble the base of the cake, layering the cake layers with curd cream. Additionally, you can make a fruit layer by adding pieces of peach or pineapple to the filling.
Make a second tier of cakes of smaller diameter and coat them with buttercream.
If you are planning a larger number of levels, then you need to assemble the cake on a special stand, otherwise there is a high risk that the base will sag.
All tiers can be decorated in the same color scheme, covering them with the remains of buttercream, or you can make levels of different colors. In this case, dye or chocolate is added to part of the cream.
Distribute the berries over the finished product. You can additionally cover them with glitter.

Along with berries, flowers (both fresh and cream), chocolate decor, sweets or cookies look good on a wedding cake.

Registration process

There are many options for decorating homemade cakes with fruit:

You will need tangerines, large grapes and mangoes, fresh or canned. We cut the mango into thin slices, place a flower out of them in the center of the cake, slipping each new slice under the previous one. Along the perimeter of the cake, we alternately place grapes cut lengthwise and tangerine slices, forming a beautiful edging.
Rainbow decoration. Take 3-4 types of fruits of contrasting color: for example, green kiwi, yellow pineapple, red strawberry and light banana. Cut everything into slices, banana into slices. Starting from the center of the cake, lay out a circle, alternating colors: banana, kiwi, pineapple, strawberry. The sides of the cake can also be decorated with slices. Place three strawberries in the center of the cake.
From thin apple slices you can form beautiful three-dimensional flowers to decorate a cake. It is better to cut them using a special device - a slicer. The slices are collected into a “rosette” and placed in a recess on the cake on top of the cream. You can place red grapes around it.
Jelly cakes should be decorated with fruit at the stage of preparing the dessert itself. If the recipe assumes that the cake will harden in the mold in the cold, you can place thin slices on the bottom before pouring the mixture. Then the cake mixture is carefully poured, and the product is put away in the cold. After hardening, the cake is turned over onto a plate, with a layer of fruit on top.
Mono decoration looks very elegant. For example, strawberries of the same size are laid out in circles on a white cream cream. The combination of red and white looks solemn and elegant.
A cake decorated with diced fruit looks interesting. The shape of the cake is a hemisphere. Place a small circle of finely chopped strawberries in the center. Divide the remaining surface into 6 equal parts, marking them. Cover the cake with sticky frosting. Layer the “shares” with cubes of orange, pineapple, kiwi, banana and red or black currants. It turns out a bright birthday cake.

We recommend: Lady fingers with strawberry syrup

Combination of fruits, berries, creams, interesting ideas and additives

Tips for combining and placing fruits and berries:

Even chaotically arranged fruits and berries look beautiful on a lush layer of cream.
Small fruit fragments are laid out along the edges, and large ones in the center.
Kiwi circles are used to frame the composition. They are placed overlapping.
An interesting option: do not mix the fruits, but arrange them sectionally in the form of triangles, the vertices of which are in the center of the cake.
A composition of fruits and berries can be placed in the center of the cake, or a wreath can be formed along the edge of the confectionery product.
To decorate with bananas, the fruits are peeled and cut into slices. They are placed in a dense layer and covered with thin strips of chocolate. As an addition - grated nuts, small sweet berries (for example, blueberries).
Raspberries go well with blackberries, and kiwi goes well with berries.
The best cream for fruits is custard, protein, butter.
Slices of red grapefruit and lime look impressive next to oranges.
If the cream turns out to be too sweet, the cake is decorated with berries and sour fruits. This will balance the taste of the dessert.
It’s quite possible to place fruit on the sides of the cake. For this you will need a sticky cream. Banana slices and apple slices hold up best.
Various shapes are cut out of thick plastic apples: hearts, stars, etc. You will need special food-grade cutters or devices for cutting out cookie dough.
The edges of the cake are masked with thick cream: protein, custard, butter. The sides are formed from long cookies ("Children's" is suitable). Wafer rolls are used for the same purpose.
Whole large berries are combined with soft chocolates.
Delicate ensemble - raspberries, blueberries and macaroon cookies. The treat is selected by color.
Before placing large pieces, they are dipped in melted chocolate or syrup, and then in confectionery topping or coconut flakes.
Fresh mint leaves are a good addition to fruit.
Tangerines are used for decoration in the form of slices, oranges - circles or their halves. Citrus fruits are peeled not only from the peel and seeds, but also from the white fibers between the pulp. If the pattern is not made from whole slices, then the pulp should be freed from the film.
