How to make lace at home?

And the first recipe is just called "Lace for cakes" from elastic icing. Similar recipes are included in the categories: "decorations of dishes", "other decorations". Making a lace cake at home is very easy, especially after reading our recipes, tips and tricks.

Ingredients for lace

• Potato starch (it is recommended for thatreason that this is the best choice, but you can also use rice analogue) - 20 grams.
• Fructose (can be replaced with sugar, as it will be in this recipe) - 20 grams.
• Pectin - 1 teaspoon.
• Molasses - 1 teaspoon.
• Provisional dye (the one you like).
• Water - 40 grams.

A simple recipe for creating delicious and delicate elastic icing lace

First of all, you need to take all the dry ingredients, pour them into a small bowl and mix well with each other (granulated sugar or fructose, pectin and starch). In the event that your food paint is a dry base, then add it to the bowl.

After all the ingredients have been well mixed, it is worth pouring some water and mix thoroughly again.

In the event that you have a gel or watery pigment (food coloring), then add it after mixing the dry ingredients with water. Stir the mixture thoroughly with a spoon until smooth. In our case, white dye will be added, since it is white lace that we need to create a cake with lace.

After obtaining a homogeneous mass, the cup must be covered with a bag or gauze so that the workpiece is not weathered. In this form, leave it for 20-30 minutes so that the grains of pectin dissolve well.

After twenty minutes, remove the bag or gauze from the cup. Stir the mass again. Add molasses and alcohol one teaspoon each and mix thoroughly.

So we got the mass we needed, with which we can make a wedding cake decoration with lace.

Now distribute the mass over a piece of lace fabric. We remove the excess from all sides, especially from above. We send it to the oven and leave the door open until our lace is completely dry. The oven temperature should not exceed 70 degrees Celsius.

Lace done! In order to make it easier to separate it from the lace fabric, we advise you to turn the fabric over and put it on the table, and then gently separate the base from the baked lace with pulling movements.

Second way to make cake lace

Usually cakes for the holidays are decorated with cream, nuts or grated chocolate. However, truly sophisticated chefs go further and try to bring to perfection not only the taste, but also the appearance of their pastries. One of the most charming ways is to form cake lace with your own hands. Each bread product can be transformed into an incredible and luxurious creation!

But creating lace for cakes at home is not an easy task. However, those who have mastered the art of creating lace assure that this is a fairly simple process than it might seem at first.

Ingredients for making a special blend

The easiest method to make a lace cake is to buy a pre-made Marletti or SugarVell mixture to create the mixture. However, their cost is quite high. These mixtures can be easily usedbeginners in the manufacture of lace. But experienced chefs know how to prepare the necessary mixture on their own.

The first step is to make a "special batch".

It consists of the following ingredients:

• 35 g xanth gum (available at a soap shop);
• 30 g starch (corn starch works best);
• 104 g Matodextrin (Ingredient used in the food industry, it can be bought in one of the speci alty stores that sell molecular cuisine or sports nutrition products).

After all the components are assembled, they must be thoroughly mixed. The powder will turn out quite a lot, about 100+ servings. The mixture keeps very well in any dry conditions.

Ingredients for making flexible lace for cake

Now you are fully prepared to start the creative process. To get lace on the cake, for this you need to mix:

• 1.5g of our blend made before (m altodextrin, xanthan gum and starch);
• 33 g egg white (be careful not to let the yolk get into the mass, otherwise everything will be ruined!);
• 2 g of glucose (one level coffee spoon will suffice);
• 42 g of sugar (you can use granulated sugar, but sifted powdered sugar is the best option).

Stir well and leave the mass to brew for ten to fifteen minutes. After that, it must be heated in a water bath to the extent that all dry ingredients are dissolved. You can bring the mass to a completely homogeneous state by whipping for about two to three minutes.

Now we take the pre-prepared icing mat and apply olive oil on it. After that, you can safely smear the rug with our protein mass. The video below gives a visual representation of how to prepare such masterpieces.
