How to prepare the glaze for cake?

The easiest way, how to make the icing for the cake, I'll tell you now. For preparation we need the following ingredients:

- half a glass of sugar

- half a glass of water

- 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice (you can use a pinch of citric acid dissolved in water)

The very preparation of the glaze is very simple and accessible to any hostess. Sugar sand pour water into a small saucepan and on a small fire, stirring, bring the syrup to the full dissolution of sugar, then cook another five minutes until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and leave to cool for a while. It is necessary to make sure that you do not digest the syrup, because when it cools, it starts to thicken and you can not make a glaze out of it. If you still digested the syrup, immediately add a couple of spoons of water and quickly stir the syrup, then it will again be the right consistency. When you have cooled the syrup to room temperature, add citric acid or lemon juice to the syrup, and begin to mix well. Stir until the mass turns white, and then it can be applied to the pasks. Toply, the glaze is covered with various powders. It can be candied fruits, colored balls, finely chopped nuts, etc.

If you do not want the traditional icing of white color, then you can pour a couple of spoons of colored liquid into it (jam, jam, etc.), then you will get a pink frosting.

There are options and taste glaze, for example, you can make an orange: just add the orange peel in the syrup and one tablespoon of orange juice. Or chocolate, if you add two or three tablespoons of grated chocolate to the syrup. There, if desired, you can add a spoonful of rum or any liquor (to an amateur).

It is necessary to grind properly so that sugar can not be felt under the spoon. Further into it, gradually stirring, we add lemon juice. The glaze should get a little thick, and you can cover the cakes. But in this case, it is necessary to dry the cakes together with the glaze in an oven.

And the last recipe is how to prepare the icing for the cake, which I want to share with you. For him we will need: a glass of sugar or sugar powder, one egg and two tablespoons of lemon juice.

Whisk egg whites, and then carefully rub with sugar until white mass is obtained, then gradually add the lemon juice and, after coating the cakes, put them in the oven to dry.
